Chemical Structure

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 25 CAS 4185-00-6 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.

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 25 (CAS 4185-00-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C24H38O4 and a molecular weight of 390.56 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 25 (C24H38O4) 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.

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.
