Chemical Structure

Fluvastatin EP Impurity E CAS CATO-C4X-16515 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Fluvastatin EP Impurity E is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Fluvastatin EP Impurity E (CAS CATO-C4X-16515) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C24H22FNO3 and a molecular weight of 391.43 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Fluvastatin EP Impurity E (C24H22FNO3) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Fluvastatin EP Impurity E 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.
