Menaquinone impurity 23 CAS 2387-69-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Menaquinone impurity 23 (CAS 2387-69-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H32O and a molecular weight of 288.47 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Menaquinone impurity 23 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.47 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.

CATO manufactures Menaquinone impurity 23 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
