Chemical Structure

Cholic Acid Impurity 24 CAS 15173-22-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cholic Acid Impurity 24 is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Cholic Acid Impurity 24 (CAS 15173-22-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H40O3, MW 376.57 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cholic Acid Impurity 24 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 376.57 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cholic Acid Impurity 24 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
