Atorvastatin is a drug used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases. Atorvastatin lactam, which is an impurity formed during the synthesis of atorvastatin, has been shown to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in a rat model. The in vivo metabolism of atorvastatin lactam was studied by HPLC-MS/MS and was found to be identical to that of the parent molecule. This impurity may be useful as a research and development or custom synthesis product, or as an impurity standard for HPLC analysis.

Hydrocortisone 21-Aldehyde (Hydrate

Dutasteride impurity D is a natural impurity found in dutasteride and has been reported to be an analytical marker for dutasteride. It is also used as an impurity standard, HPLC standard, and custom synthesis for drug development. Metabolism studies have shown that the major route of elimination for Dutasteride impurity D is through glucuronidation with minor amounts being excreted in urine unchanged.

Difluoro atorvastatin is a filtrate of atorvastatin, which is a cholesterol-lowering drug. It is synthesized by reacting butyric acid with atorvastatin in an organic solvent. The reaction solution was filtered to remove impurities and then purified by liquid chromatography. The product was characterized by diffraction and LC-MS analysis. Difluoro atorvastatin has a high purity and is suitable for further use in the preparation of pharmaceuticals.
