Chemical Structure

Atorvastatin Impurity 166 CAS CATO-C4X-1132166 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 612.71 g/mol gives Atorvastatin Impurity 166 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Atorvastatin Impurity 166 (CAS CATO-C4X-1132166, C33H33FN2O6Ca) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C33H33FN2O6Ca, Atorvastatin Impurity 166 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 612.71 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Atorvastatin Impurity 166 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
