Menaquinone impurity 20 CAS CATO-C4X-207620

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Menaquinone impurity 20.

CATO supplies Menaquinone impurity 20 (CAS CATO-C4X-207620), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H40O2, MW 444.65 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Menaquinone impurity 20 (C31H40O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
