Lovastatin Impurity 44 CAS CATO-C4X-168444

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 350.49 g/mol gives Lovastatin Impurity 44 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Lovastatin Impurity 44 (CAS CATO-C4X-168444), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H34O4, MW 350.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C21H34O4, Lovastatin Impurity 44 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 350.49 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.

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.

CATO manufactures Lovastatin Impurity 44 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.
