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.
Bempedoic Acid Impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-218940) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H22O3 and a molecular weight of 214.30 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Bempedoic Acid Impurity 40 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
