Chemical Structure

Bempedoic Acid Impurity 16 CAS 738606-44-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Bempedoic Acid Impurity 16 (CAS 738606-44-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H49NO6S, MW 563.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C31H49NO6S, Bempedoic Acid Impurity 16 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 563.79 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.
