Ergocalciferol EP Impurity F CAS CATO-C4X-177922

Description

The occurrence of Ergocalciferol EP Impurity F is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ergocalciferol EP Impurity F (CAS CATO-C4X-177922), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C28H42O, MW 394.63 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Ergocalciferol EP Impurity F (C28H42O) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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.
