Chemical Structure

Fluvastatin EP Impurity A (Calcium Salt) CAS CATO-C4X-16518 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Fluvastatin EP Impurity A (Calcium Salt).

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Fluvastatin EP Impurity A (Calcium Salt) (CAS CATO-C4X-16518, C24H25FNO4Ca) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Fluvastatin EP Impurity A (Calcium Salt) (C24H25FNO4Ca) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.5, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 450.54 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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 A (Calcium Salt) 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.
