Pitavastatin intermediate PC2 is a critical chiral building block for the synthesis of Pitavastatin calcium, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It typically involves asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution processes to ensure high optical purity. The molecular formula is C18H19NO4 with CAS No. 160557-32-6.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent degradation. Handle with appropriate PPE as it may cause skin irritation. Strictly control impurities below 0.1% to meet ICH guidelines for clinical use.
