Chemical Structure

Lovastatin Impurity 31 CAS CATO-C4X-168431 chemical structure

Description

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, Lovastatin Impurity 31 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 402.81 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Lovastatin Impurity 31 (CAS CATO-C4X-168431) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H24SC8H18C4H10C2H6 and a molecular weight of 402.81 g/mol.

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), Lovastatin Impurity 31 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.
