Chemical Structure

Cholesterol For Parenteral Use EP Impurity C CAS 474-62-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cholesterol For Parenteral Use EP Impurity C 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.

Cholesterol For Parenteral Use EP Impurity C (CAS 474-62-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C28H48O and a molecular weight of 400.68 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Cholesterol For Parenteral Use EP Impurity C (C28H48O) 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 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.

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.
