Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Pitavastatin Impurity 107.
CATO supplies Pitavastatin Impurity 107 (CAS CATO-C4X-1037107), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H30FNO4, MW 475.55 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Pitavastatin Impurity 107 (C29H30FNO4) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 15.0, corresponding to approximately 15 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 475.55 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
