Chemical Structure

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 56 CAS 15073-99-1 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 Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 56.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 56 (CAS 15073-99-1, C26H44O5) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 56 (C26H44O5) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
