Chemical Structure

Lovastatin Impurity 34 CAS CATO-C4X-168434 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 318.57 g/mol gives Lovastatin Impurity 34 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Lovastatin Impurity 34 (CAS CATO-C4X-168434, C10H20C7H16CH5PC2H6) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C10H20C7H16CH5PC2H6, Lovastatin Impurity 34 contains organophosphorus functionality; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 318.57 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
