Chemical Structure

Pravastatin EP Impurity A Sodium Salt CAS 81176-41-2 chemical structure

Description

Pravastatin EP Impurity A Sodium Salt (C23H35O7Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Pravastatin EP Impurity A Sodium Salt (CAS 81176-41-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C23H35O7Na and a molecular weight of 446.52 g/mol.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
