Chemical Structure

Menaquinone impurity 25 CAS CATO-C4X-207625 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Menaquinone impurity 25 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Menaquinone impurity 25 (CAS CATO-C4X-207625), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H40O3, MW 460.65 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C31H40O3, Menaquinone impurity 25 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 460.65 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Menaquinone impurity 25 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
