Chemical Structure

Menaquinone Impurity 12 CAS 3790-76-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Menaquinone Impurity 12 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Menaquinone Impurity 12 (CAS 3790-76-9, C20H34O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Menaquinone Impurity 12 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.
