Chemical Structure

Deoxycholic acid Impurity 38 CAS CATO-C4X-335938 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Deoxycholic acid Impurity 38 is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Deoxycholic acid Impurity 38 (CAS CATO-C4X-335938) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C27H42O5 and a molecular weight of 446.62 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Deoxycholic acid Impurity 38 (C27H42O5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
