Product Description
Impurity of Alfacalcidol is an impurity of Alfacalcidol (1-hydroxycholecalciferol; Alpha D3; 1.alpha.-Hydroxyvitamin D3) which is a non-selective VDR agonist/activator medication widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis.


Impurity C of Alfacalcidol (CAS#: 82266-85-1) is a known and structurally distinct impurity of the vitamin D analog Alfacalcidol. Chemically defined as the triazoline adduct of pre-Alfacalcidol, this compound has a molecular formula of C3₅H4₉N3O4 and a molecular weight of 575.78. As a named impurity in the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) monograph for Alfacalcidol, this compound is specifically designated for use in analytical method development, method validation, and quality control for pharmaceutical production. Alfacalcidol itself is a non-selective vitamin D receptor (VDR) activator medication used in the management of osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Impurity C of Alfacalcidol does not have a defined pharmacological target in the context of therapeutic activity. As an impurity of Alfacalcidol, its potential targets would theoretically be related to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) pathway, given that the parent compound Alfacalcidol is a non-selective VDR activator. However, Impurity C is not intended to exert biological activity and is not used as a therapeutic agent. Instead, it serves as a reference standard for quality control and analytical testing in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The compound's presence and concentration are monitored to ensure the purity and safety of Alfacalcidol drug products, as impurities must be controlled within acceptable limits according to regulatory standards.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity data for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol are not applicable, as this compound functions as a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard rather than a biologically active test compound. The compound is not evaluated for biological activity in cell-based or biochemical assays, as its primary use is in analytical method development and quality control for Alfacalcidol pharmaceutical products. In the context of pharmaceutical analysis, the "activity" of Impurity C refers to its chromatographic behavior and detection characteristics in analytical methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) rather than any pharmacological or biological effect. The compound is characterized by its molecular formula, molecular weight, and structural identity for reference purposes.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol are not applicable, as this compound is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard and is not intended for therapeutic administration or biological testing in animal models. Impurity C is used exclusively for analytical purposes in quality control and method validation for Alfacalcidol drug products. No in vivo pharmacological studies have been conducted with this impurity, as it is not a candidate for drug development or therapeutic use. Its relevance is limited to ensuring the purity, safety, and regulatory compliance of Alfacalcidol pharmaceutical formulations by serving as a reference standard for impurity identification and quantification.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol is not applicable, as this compound is not evaluated for biological activity. Instead, the compound is used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry assays for quality control purposes. The typical analytical protocol involves dissolving the impurity reference standard in an appropriate solvent such as DMSO (6.67 mg/mL) and preparing a series of standard solutions at known concentrations. These standards are injected into a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system equipped with a suitable column and UV detector. The retention time and peak area of Impurity C are determined and compared to those of the Alfacalcidol drug substance to quantify impurity levels in pharmaceutical samples. Method validation parameters including specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and limit of detection are established according to regulatory guidelines.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are not applicable for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol, as this compound is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard used exclusively for analytical chemistry and quality control purposes. The compound is not tested on cultured cells for biological activity, as it is not a therapeutic agent or a candidate for drug development. Instead, Impurity C is utilized in analytical method development and validation to ensure the quality and safety of Alfacalcidol pharmaceutical products. Cell-based studies are not relevant to the compound's intended use, which is limited to serving as a reference standard for identifying and quantifying impurities in drug substance and drug product samples according to pharmacopoeial standards.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not applicable for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol, as this compound is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard and is not intended for administration to animals or therapeutic use. The compound's sole purpose is to serve as a reference material for analytical method development, method validation, and quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing. No animal studies have been conducted with this impurity, and such studies would not be relevant given the compound's intended use. The focus of work involving Impurity C is on chromatographic analysis and impurity profiling rather than pharmacological or toxicological evaluation. The compound is handled exclusively in laboratory settings for analytical chemistry applications.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol, as this compound is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard and is not administered to living organisms. The compound has a molecular formula of C3₅H4₉N3O4 and a molecular weight of 575.78. For analytical use, Impurity C is soluble in DMSO at a concentration of 6.67 mg/mL (11.58 mM) with ultrasonic and warming to 80degC. The compound should be stored at 4degC, protected from light, and stored under nitrogen for long-term stability. For solution storage, -80degC for 6 months or -20degC for 1 month (protected from light, under nitrogen) is recommended.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for Impurity C of Alfacalcidol are not available, as this compound is a pharmaceutical impurity reference standard used exclusively for analytical purposes rather than therapeutic administration. The compound is not intended for human or animal consumption and is handled only in laboratory settings for quality control applications. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. As with all reference standards and analytical chemicals, exposure should be minimized, and proper waste disposal procedures should be observed in accordance with local regulations. The compound's toxicity profile has not been characterized, as it is not a candidate for drug development or therapeutic use.
