Chemical Structure

Lovastatin Impurity 36 CAS CATO-C4X-168436 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 Lovastatin Impurity 36.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Lovastatin Impurity 36 (CAS CATO-C4X-168436, C25H40O6) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Lovastatin Impurity 36 (C25H40O6) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 36 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.
