Pravastatin Impurity 59 CAS 81131-74-0 chemical structure

Description

Pravastatin Impurity 59 (CAS 81131-74-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H36O7 and a molecular weight of 424.53 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Pravastatin Impurity 59 (C23H36O7) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Pravastatin Impurity 59 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
