Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 505.63 g/mol gives Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 59 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 59 (CAS 338950-81-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H42NO6NaH2O, MW 505.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 59 (C26H42NO6NaH2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
CATO manufactures Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 59 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.
