Chemical Structure

Calcifediol Impurity 14 CAS CATO-C4X-189214 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Calcifediol Impurity 14 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 Calcifediol Impurity 14 (CAS CATO-C4X-189214), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C27H44O2, MW 400.64 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Calcifediol Impurity 14 (C27H44O2) 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 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.

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.
