Description

Atorvastatin CAS NO 110862-48-1 is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent belonging to the statin class of drugs, widely recognized for its role in managing cholesterol levels. This high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of finished pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions engaged in the development and production of cardiovascular medications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary active ingredient in the manufacture of oral solid dosage forms (tablets, capsules) for cholesterol management.
• Generic Drug Production: Serves as the key component for generic versions of lipid-regulating medications following patent expiry.
• Research & Development: Used in preclinical and clinical studies for investigating new therapeutic applications and formulations of statins.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and validation.
• Combination Therapies: Utilized in the development of fixed-dose combination drugs for comprehensive cardiovascular disease management.

Quality Control

Our Atorvastatin is manufactured under strict quality management systems, targeting compliance with major pharmacopoeial standards such as USP and EP. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided to ensure full traceability and quality assurance for our B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
