Vitamin K1 Impurity 5 CAS 483-55-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Vitamin K1 Impurity 5 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.

Vitamin K1 Impurity 5 (CAS 483-55-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8O3 and a molecular weight of 188.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Vitamin K1 Impurity 5 (C11H8O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 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).

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.
