Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Lovastatin Impurity 16 is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Lovastatin Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-168416), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H20C8H14C2H6, MW 268.53 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Lovastatin Impurity 16 (C9H20C8H14C2H6) contains an organic framework. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 268.53 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Lovastatin Impurity 16 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.
