Chemical Structure

Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 55 CAS CATO-C4X-142255 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 55 (C24H36O5) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

CATO supplies Ursodeoxycholic acid impurity 55 (CAS CATO-C4X-142255), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H36O5, MW 404.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.

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.
