Chemical Structure

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 31 CAS 566-17-6 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 Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 31.

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 31 (CAS 566-17-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C24H40O4 and a molecular weight of 392.57 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C24H40O4, Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 31 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 392.57 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 31 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
