Chemical Structure

Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity K CAS 4701-54-6 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity K (CAS 4701-54-6, C29H44O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity K is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 456.66 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.

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 Sodium Fusidate EP Impurity K 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.
