Chemical Structure

(3RS.5SR)-Atorvastatin EP Impurity B (Calcium Salt) CAS CATO-C4X-1132113 chemical structure

Description

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.

(3RS.5SR)-Atorvastatin EP Impurity B (Calcium Salt) (CAS CATO-C4X-1132113) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C33H34FN2O50.Ca and a molecular weight of 1317.67 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (3RS.5SR)-Atorvastatin EP Impurity B (Calcium Salt) (C33H34FN2O50.Ca) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
