Lovastatin Impurity 40 CAS CATO-C4X-168440 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 40.

CATO supplies Lovastatin Impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-168440), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H18C4H10C4H8C3H8C2H6, MW 302.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Lovastatin Impurity 40 (C8H18C4H10C4H8C3H8C2H6) contains an organic framework. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 40 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.
