Chemical Structure

Cholic Acid Impurity 18 CAS 517-33-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cholic Acid Impurity 18.

CATO supplies Cholic Acid Impurity 18 (CAS 517-33-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H36O5, MW 404.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Cholic Acid Impurity 18 (C24H36O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
