As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Vitamin K1 Impurity 53 (CAS CATO-C4X-220753, C20H40) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
The molecular framework of Vitamin K1 Impurity 53 (C20H40) is characterized by an organic framework. 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 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.
CATO manufactures Vitamin K1 Impurity 53 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.
