Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin Calcium EP Impurity Q CAS 906552-18-9 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Atorvastatin Calcium EP Impurity Q (CAS 906552-18-9, C33H35FN2O6) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Atorvastatin Calcium EP Impurity Q (C33H35FN2O6) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Atorvastatin Calcium EP Impurity Q under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
