?1469? NITROSAMINE IMPURITIES
United States Pharmacopeia, 46(5) (2021)

Articles

An overview of nitrosamine impurity testing, worldwide regulations, and key considerations in filter selection for sample preparation and analysis.

This application note describes the LC-MS-based quantitative analysis of known nitrosamine impurities following procedures 1 and 3 as given in USP general chapter <1469>.

Nitrosamines have been discovered as a serious contaminant group in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) belonging to the sartan family. This article describes a GC-MS method for the determination of nitrosamines in Valsartan tablets according to US FDA guide lines that can be used for pharma QC.
