Chemical Structure

Cholesterol Impurity 25 CAS CATO-C4X-196725 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 Cholesterol Impurity 25.

CATO supplies Cholesterol Impurity 25 (CAS CATO-C4X-196725), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C27H46O, MW 386.65 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Cholesterol Impurity 25 (C27H46O) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
