Chemical Structure

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 1 CAS 4057-84-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 1 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.

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 1 (CAS 4057-84-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C26H42O4 and a molecular weight of 418.61 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ursodeoxycholic Acid Impurity 1 (C26H42O4) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
