Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin Impurity 122 CAS CATO-C4X-1132122 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Atorvastatin Impurity 122 (CAS CATO-C4X-1132122), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C33H34FN2O7Na, MW 612.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Atorvastatin Impurity 122 is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 612.63 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
