Chemical Structure

Lovastatin Impurity 30 CAS CATO-C4X-168430 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Lovastatin Impurity 30 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Lovastatin Impurity 30 (CAS CATO-C4X-168430), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H32O2C2H6, MW 310.52 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Lovastatin Impurity 30 (C18H32O2C2H6) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 310.52 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

CATO manufactures Lovastatin Impurity 30 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
