Dr. Margert is developing a chemical product that reduces the accumulation of lipids in the brains of children with Niemann-pick type C1 disease. She assumes her product is pure based on the measurements of physical properties such as boiling point and melting point. Unfortunately, clinical studies have shown that, in some cases, her chemical results in severe seizures and migraines. Which of the following is the most likely explanation?
