Menaquinone Impurity 50 CAS CATO-C4X-207650 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Menaquinone Impurity 50 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies Menaquinone Impurity 50 (CAS CATO-C4X-207650), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C31H40O3, MW 460.65 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Menaquinone Impurity 50 (C31H40O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 460.65 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
