ABSTRACT:

The use of N-nitrosamines, especially in the médical field, raises questions regardant global safety due to their hazardous and mutational properties. This comprehensive review looks at the technology, management, analysis, and biological consequences of nitrosamines in medical, pharmaceutical, and analgesic applications. This review discusses the atomic dangers associated with N-nitroso compounds, specifically focusing on DNA damage, DNA mutation, cancer prevention, and other related effects. Concerns about nitrosamine risk, the development of nitrosamine-free products, the importance of risk assessment, and diagnostic methods are also highlighted. A comprehensive review will benefit professionals working to lessen the harm caused by nitrosamines and improve the safety of medications, such as biologists, doctors, manufacturers, scientists, and engineers. The permissible limit for N-nitrosamine has been exceeded in clinics. Drug shortages resulted from the withdrawal or discontinuation of the anti-diabetic medication rifampicin and the medication metformin. Regrettably, the amines N in items also impede the creation of novel medications. Because of nitrogen dioxide damage, government bodies prohibit the use of a drug called in human drug relationship (DDI) investigations. One of the primary medications used in these investigations is rifampin. Drug makers are now compelled to act.

 

KEYWORDS: N-nitrosamines, Mutagenic contaminants nitrosamines and regulations, Molecular toxicity and nitrosamine drug-related contaminants (NDSRIs).

 

 


1. INTRODUCTION:

Even small amounts of nitrosamine contamination are very dangerous and are mutagenic, causing DNA damage and increasing the risk of cancer. Many prescription drugs and Impurities including nitrosamine have been discovered in essential active compounds (APIs).

 

For this reason, drugs such as varenicline, metformin, ranitidine (Zantac), valsartan and nizatidine are being rapidly recalled due to nitrosamine impurities. Regulatory agencies have recently turned their attention to a new family of nitrosamine impurities similar to APIs, Contaminants due to nitrogen dioxide drugs (NDSRIs). The discovery of N-nitrosoquinapril in quinapril hydrochloride is new to NDSRIs. Enteric-coated tablets containing citrate contain N-nitrosobacteria. This drug reacts with the nitrates in the emulsifier to form nitrosovarenicline (NNV) in varenicline. Toxic amines, such as third- and fourth-generation amines, are substances that promote nitrosamine formation. In acidic environments, amines combine with nitrous acid to form nitrosamines. Nitrite (NO2) is part of nitrite, which is itself an unstable substance. During the manufacturing process, solvents are reused as reactants, catalysts and solutions, and raw materials and products containing nitrite can contaminate food and cause the release of nitrosamine impurities. There are many variables to consider during the formulation of the drug, including the selection of sweeteners, nutrients, additives, and viscoelastic moieties, as all are preferred for product products. Such as product pH, humidity and storage temperature. With these situations in mind, companies or APIs must take appropriate measures to reduce the nitrosamine content in the products they sell.1 Additionally, if amines and nitrites are consumed together, nitrosamines may form in the digestive system. Fishbone diagrams show the location and level of nitrosamine contamination in commercial products. The financial and economic impact of repeated use of medications associated with nitrosamine problems is a concern for patients worldwide. The diagnostic process may also be affected. Examining the relationship between drugs that affect memory; for example, learning and computerization will help determine the conversion of nitrosamines to secondary and neutral amines in many drugs. This study reviews and evaluates the toxicology of N-nitrosyl molecules (specifically N-nitrosamines) found in pharmaceuticals, drugs, and pharmaceutical products. It also has the most up-to-date information about the individual risks of these diseases to humans. The review also examines new and improved screening methods to accurately identify and measure these dangerous diseases. Understand the causes of nitrosamine poisoning and provide effective treatment strategies. It also provides regulatory changes to reduce the potential for nitrosamine contamination. After the N-nitrosamine form was first discovered in 2018 in a drug containing the angiotensin 2 receptor blocker valsartan, other products containing metformin, ranitidine and varenicline were also tested and became popular in 2018. N-nitrosamines decompose on contact with CYP or cytochrome P450 3) and form alkyl diazonium ions. As shown in yeast simulations, the type of DNA adduct formed determines the survival of processes such as protein synthesis, DNA damage repair, and mitochondrial integrity. Additionally, the dose response to the the compound N-nitro' oncogenic and cancer-causing abilities is non-linear as shown in the mouse bioassay model.1 Drug-related impurities (NDSRIs) resulting from the nitrosation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are carcinogenic. Nitrosovarenicline, nitrosobenadryl, nitrosopropranolol, and nitrosoquinapril are some examples of drugs containing NDSRIs (reviewed by Schlingemann et al., 2017). 7) Overall, with many similar drugs entering clinical trials, the approval of N-nitrosamines affects not only patients but also drug users due to genetics and risk.

 

2. Concern Elements for the Creation of N-Nitrosamine:

The three most important things to do in the production of N-nitrosamine are (1):

1.     Nitrosamines are present.

2.     Contains nitroso compounds.

3.     Conditions necessary for the production of N-nitrosamines.

 

2.1. Reducing Risks of the Production of Dangerous Substances:

There are many ways to achieve this, depending on where each project is in the production process. For example, if the amine source comes in a soluble or a simple amine (such as ET3N, IPR2net), use amine-free and/or free radical solvents. should be removed. . Amen to this synthesis uses a stoichiometric amount of nitration reagent and N-nitrozamin kib impurity in the solution is at or near the level of the amine source.1,2 It is often recommended to use other reagents to complete the conversion. Alternatively, the level of synthesis can be varied so that the nitration agent used earlier in the process has more time to remove the impurities formed. Therefore, it has some solubility in aqueous and organic media and 11 EU regulatory agencies require further research to demonstrate that N-Nitrosamine impurities are sometimes sufficiently removed for use in the ICH mode. Nitrite M7. Sodium reagents such as azide are chosen to kill antibiotics in active drugs or to study nitrosation or N-nitrosamines in other drugs. They are not suitable for the production of N-nitrosamines. Here we learn that in most aquatic environments, slightly acidic conditions increase the rate of nitrification.2,3 Generally speaking, there are many effective ways to prevent The creation of N; nitrosamine or remove nitrogen dioxide contaminants during the production of APIs, as long as the risk is considered and minimized during development.

 

2.2. Threats Associated With Heroin Dependence:

By 2020, important data will be collected on the presence of amine N in different drugs and pharmaceutical products. These are called nitrogen dioxide chemical impurities (NDRSI) and are usually produced by nitrosation of the amine moiety of the active ingredient. By far the most important factor in the formation of the relevant N-nitrosamines appears to be secondary amine function. However, studies have also shown that triamines can undergo nitrosation via dealkylation and can undergo nitrosation with other amines or degraders (such as hydrolysis of a tertiary amide). Pharmaceutical industry research shows that nitrites in products can cause serious problems when combined with NDSRIs.3 NDSRIs have also been shown to be effective in drug abuse. Reducing NDSRIs in pharmaceutical products is difficult for several reasons; There are fewer options compared to medications. Therefore, risk cannot arise without context. Sometimes the amount and location of nitrosated species are unknown during drug development. The mechanisms and conditions that cause NDSRIs are not fully understood. It is forbidden to change the production process without affecting the product. Finally, management of NDSRI risk is made more difficult by the lack of toxicological evidence for complex N-nitrosamines. This requires the use of small and easy-to-manufacture chemicals such as NDMA and nitrosamines. And there's no strong evidence that it has any medical use. Although this study does not discuss the toxicological properties of NDSRIs, other studies have demonstrated mutagenic and genotoxic properties of nitrosamine derivatives. Based on (S)SAR tests, some N-nitrosamines are considered significant mutagens or carcinogens, while other N-nitrosamines are considered non-mutagens. NDSRI's reliable research articles are easy to find.4,5

 

3. Significance To Ndsris: Fragile Amine compounds in the Chemical Component:

Chemicals that increase N-nitrosamine production amid creation of drugs is a concern that well known and have been discussed in detail in the past. Many low resolution solutions have been developed. Moser et al. A new study. Although these studies focused on ingredients and formulas rather than actual medical products, the differences between the studies were small. Very good. The aromatic (less simple) secondary amine (ArAlkNH) is nitrated faster than the aliphatic derivative (Alk1Alk2NH). Tertiary amines are less problematic than secondary amines (usually by a factor of 2 or less). Protonated amines (R1R2NH2+) compared to unbound amide reasons, are far more volatile.5 The drug's chemistry is a factor in threats (1) & (2), but the danger in (3) can be reduced by other structures. In fact, according to solution studies, the rate of nitrosation of the free base of inorganic nitrites is slower than that of initiated amino acids (because most situations call for acidic circumstances) for the formation of nitrosated NO2 species such as N2O3). 14 Additionally, reduced water solubility of intermediate molecules can reduce nitrosation when materials are stored in humid buildings (see discussion in Chapter 5). Additionally, halide-mediated nitrosation methods (e.g., with nitrosyl halide that is acidic) may not be suitable for products containing halides functioning as antithetic ions. Crystallinity of halides. Therefore, examples of the development of intricate N-nitrosamines inside the framework of the free base (28) or the amine free base (25) are shown in the literature.6

 

4. The Role Of The additives in A Ndsris Creation:

4.1. Allergenic amines in excipients: Although rare, nitrosamines have been added to some products: for example, L-proline, meglumine, EDTA, triethanolamine (NDELA) and nitrosamines of all products listed in the European Pharmacopoeia Medical Limit 24 ppb;  NDELA and other strongly polar nitrogen oxides are less harmful that their nonpolar mimics (the AI of a rise in N is 26.5 tiny particles per day).), possibly because they contain more water and are therefore re-released more frequently. If the agent contains nitrosamines, the risk assessment will be negative. impurities).7

 

4.2. Nitrosating Agents in Excipients: A common problem in N-nitrosamine production is the presence of inorganic nitrites, as impurities in these products are of greatest concern. It is difficult to determine the nitrite content (usually measured in parts per million) in products. Our statistics vary greatly because the significance of this The issue has only lately come to light. The electricity generation industry is very diverse, resulting in a large number of manufacturers. Adjust the nitrite content in excipients. To To the best of our ability, one report has described the interaction between chemicals and nitrogen before the Sartan incident. For example, in terms of testing, products are now expected to have very high nitrite (ppb) levels. Added regularly (current version is 2023.1.0, covering 92 supported products).8,9 Collaboration between pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies and retailers has led help enhance comprehension of the material topic of many drugs. Major improvements, especially in the nitro library. For example, when there is diversity of work, when the number of excipient groups is large (each excipient represents something different) and the quantity is high (usually only 15-20 excipients, especially when there are many drugs in the oral cavity), the data can identify the drug. More important excipients. It's as easy as a check. Additives used as diluents/fillers in some products are usually nitrites; Although it produces NDMA (25 wt% HPMC), NDMA (25 weight percent HPMC) is not produced by magnesium silicate (less than 1 weight percent) in HPMC-free tabs. Important concepts. The Lhasa database also teaches us that nitrite levels and ranges vary widely throughout items, factories, and even pieces of equipment. For hydroxypropylmethylcellulose this is generally one to two orders of magnitude higher. 1-2ppm. Additionally, in terms of nutrition, the average nitrite content in the box is around 1 ppm.9 Interestingly (and fortunately), excipients that usually contain more nitrites are often available in low-cost formulations (adhesive inhibitors, disintegrants, lubricants, preservatives, etc.). They are fillers and thinners with low nitrate content. Nitrite levels are generally low. The Pharmacopoeia's nox limitations for emulsifier are a fix to this issue. However, like other rules, using (only) general rules regarding product purity takes into account the type of drug formulation, ingredients, manufacturing process and safety and in no case solves the problem. (chemical formula) is a chemical that does not contain amines.10

 

4.3. What Part Do These Pollutants Play?

·       NitrateAlthough nitrites are not known to be present in the product, the product may contain precursors with a high oxidation state of nitrogen, such as nitrates. In fact, in most hyponitrate excipients such as milk proteins, pregelatinized powder, palm stearate, alcohol, this compound, acetates, hydroxypropylcellulose-based micron herbal and diacetate in carbon dioxide in silicon oxide), nitrates are always in excess, at most. 2. - stool (up to 10 times). 32. Similarly, a recent study found nitrate levels in the tens of ppm in HPMC, Magnesium Fatty Acid, and CMC-Na; These two products are not related to nitrates. Minimum N-nitrosamine content.11

 

·       Aldehydes:  Other organisms may also be involved, but the absence of ammonia in the mixture poses the greatest risk for NDSRI development. For example, in addition to the well-known aminonitrosation process in acidic environments, N-nitrosamines can be formed at pH > 6 in the presence of specific catalysts such as formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is an impurity found in many additives, especially polymers such as polysorbates and polyethylene glycols. Levels of approximately 10 ppm or higher have also been detected in other additives such as crospovidone, hydroxypropylcellulose, and pregelatinized starch. Two examples are heteroaromatic furfurals and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural 32 (produced from sugar and acetaldehyde 40). In addition, the action of specific motifs in excipients (e.g. -OCH2CH2O-) can lead to the formation of formaldehyde, which itself is difficult to control. Despite the high risk, there is currently insufficient evidence to exclude the possibility of nitrosamine production during surgery.12 Glass fibers in excipients are known to interact with other amines, ultimately forming imine ion intermediates (amines) or their reaction intermediates (e.g. reduced to the form below in Harmon's 2022 Paper Annual Report). This reaction usually occurs at a concentration of 5-10 ppm. Nizatidine is a combination of food formaldehyde and several newer drugs, such as metformin and lisinopril. The authors consider that the NDMA in nizatidine may be formed by chemical conversion from oxidants to nitrogen and dimethylamine compounds, similar to the use of N-nitrosamines in medicine, particularly due to their genotoxic properties and mutagenic international safety. This comprehensive review explores the biology of nitrosamines, their uses in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and antibiotics, as well as their technology, management, and analysis. This review discusses the atomic issues associated with N-nitroso compounds, focusing on their genome damage, mutagenicity, carcinogenic potential, and other effects. Concerns about the risk of nitrosamines, the development of nitrosamine-free products, and the importance of monitoring and critical diagnostics. Professionals working to reduce the dangers of nitrosamines and improve the safety of medicines will benefit from the measurement, including biobiologists, doctors, manufacturers, pharmacists and engineers.13,14 N-nitrosamine content exceeds the standard. Harmon noted that the voluntary recall does not apply to other lines in the line of HPMC-free formulas, such as microcrystalline cellulose tablets. It is unlikely, but also unlikely, that the nitrite concentrations of the products are comparable. Look at this reaction: acid nitrosation. Thus, formaldehyde may contribute to the formation of NDSRIs. Although the catalytic effect of formaldehyde in N-nitrosamine production solutions is well established and can be used in the preparation and production of drugs, further research on catastrophic drug formulations is needed. Since aldehyde-catalyzed amine nitrosation has a significant effect at pH>6, this problem deserves good study, especially in terms of the development of new drugs that can reduce its effects.14

 

·       Peroxides: Peroxide is another antibiotic that affects NDSRI development. Peroxides, especially copolymer excipients prepared by free radical synthesis (such as hydroxypropylcellulose, about 10 ppm32; povidone and crospovidone, about 30-70ppm). Nitrosation of amines can be catalyzed by acidic decomposers, nitrosating compounds, or labile amines, all of which can be produced by peroxides. Peroxides sometimes form directly into nitrosamines. Additionally, as previously mentioned, peroxides can form reactive aldehydes at abnormal pH values ​​(e.g. 6-10), thus promoting N-nitrosation. Dussa et al. According to this study, peroxides can cause NDMA synthesis in metformin-coated tablets in the absence of nitrosating agents. It is formed by condensation of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine with another DMA molecule and subsequent oxidation to NDMA.15 However, due to lack of expertise, the NDMA level is only one tenth of the total NDMA level recorded. However, as mentioned earlier, peroxide-mediated oxidation is very dangerous and can inhibit the release of nitrite from 2-nitroethylene-1,1-diamino-containing drugs such as ranitidine and nizatidine. Peroxide can promote the release and alkaline decomposition of secondary nitrosamines. However, tertiary amines with at least one (hetero)-benzyl 24/allyl 44 substituent are also possible. Although information to date is limited to ranitidine and nizatidine, information provided to EU authorities suggests that tertiary amine formation is still an issue with N-nitrosamines and that amine concentrations are not determined by peroxides and may promote hydrolysis of tertiary amines via the amide bond. The effects of active drugs, particularly amine scavengers, are divided into strong drugs, weak drugs and cell-derived drugs. Finally, peroxides may promote the synthesis of N-nitrosamines via oxidation (degradation) of compounds containing hydrazine or hydrazone moieties (e.g. gliclazide, rifampicin).16

 

5.    Hard Formulation Forms: Module Operational Issues After Producing:

As previously mentioned, the risks associated with the isolation of N-nitrosamines 13,14 are well known, particularly in API synthesis. How to modify the recipe mix (see Section 3 Recipe 2). However, the wet granulation process produces at least five times more HCl salts of N-nitrosamine than the unmixed method (see Figure 2). This suggests that acidic formulations promote nitrosation, particularly in the presence of water. Since NDSRI levels in climate studies generally increase with increasing humidity, water appears to be important for NDSRI formation during manufacture and storage. During manufacturing, these substances can be added to water to improve the separation of impurities (especially nitrites) and to increase the permeability of nitrites and amines through water.16 Higher amorphous percentage, changes in morphology and size, and increased surface area are some of the physical and chemical changes that can affect the nitrosation of a product. Stages. The presence of water in the system is a significant risk factor for NDSRI development. As you, Song, and colleagues have pointed out, due to the increased N in metformin-nitrosamines, it is important to remember that moisture will also increase as the precursors are diluted during long-term storage of N-nitrosamines. Formulations with moisture contents of 1.5% w/w and 4% w/w produce approximately three times less heat.

 

6. Utilising Chemicals As Well As Nitrite is Hunters To Delay The Growth Of Ndsri:

One of the most important steps to control NDSRI synthesis is the addition of nitrite chelators/nitrosation inhibitors to the formula. Although the inhibitory effect of some additives used in the food, cosmetics and even pharmaceutical industries has been known for a long time and has been studied for a long time, no additive has been found in its structure that prevents nitrosation. Aim. Same purpose: explained below). The pH is balanced by inorganic bases, antioxidants, amino acids and other nitrite scavengers. Redox reaction and nucleophilic quenching are two ways to reduce nitridation (inorganic nitrites only). Nitric oxide (NO) is a small gaseous molecule that does not participate in the nitrosation of amines. This occurs when nitrite (NO2-) decreases; It is known that this process is blocked by natural antioxidants such as polyphenols and ascorbic acid. It is important to remember that interaction is positive.17,18 It is a substance found in all living things and the human body. The virus that causes the next reaction is the first of these. Amino acids and other essential amines are well-known and effective nitrite scavengers. The presence of nucleophiles (such as water) in this region prevents the formation of diazonium salts during nitrosation. This reaction occurs in all amino acids of the protein and produces alpha-hydroxy acids. Van Slyke's reaction) is generally clean and nontoxic. A similar approach is used for aromatic amino acids such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA); for example, products that are more nucleophilic or have fewer amino groups (e.g. aromatic amines) will have higher nitrite content. A recent example shows that when primary amines are present in the structure, they are more reactive and remove nitrosamines, while secondary amine molecules are sterically hindered and overreact, leading to the production of N-nitrosamines. EU regulators have taken notice of the problem. Therefore, it is important to select a scavenger that reacts appropriately with the API amine based on the inhibitor level and pH of the formulation. The scavengers can be added immediately to the recipe or pre-mixed with the finished product. Another method is the indirect method, which works by removing nitrites from the product before adding chemicals (process water, additives, etc.). Resistance is just one of many things to consider when designing.19 This medicine has no side effects or side effects. Additives should not interfere with the formulation process. Additives must be approved by a toxicologist. To complete the nitrite deactivation process, certain products must be identified and stored. No compatibility issues, no storage issues like tablet fading. Nitrite cleansers must contain nitrites or nitrite derivatives to produce subpar results. For example, ferulic acid or other antioxidants should not be known about the drug itself. You should not combine it with anything. For example, the samples in Table 1 are mostly acidic and their pH does not change much during production, but it is important to remember that residual products in the final product can cause problems (Table 1). For example, the combination of nitrite and histidine produces large amounts of waste. To date, the performance of nitrite scavengers in pharmaceutical formulations has not been investigated. In Chapter 5, a proof-of-concept study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of oral N-nitrosamine formation inhibitors using 4-phenylpiperidine (PPip) hydrochloride as a surrogate model for the fatty amine moiety. In a rapid study, all 1-nitroso-4-phenyl dissociation inhibitors were removed from tablets supplemented with 1% antioxidant after one month at 50°C and 75% relative humidity, thus reducing it by 80%.20 At the same time, the NPPip level increased from 150 ppb to 500 ppb. Second, use the liquid or extract as a research model to study the potential inhibitory effects of amino acids. Glycine, lysine, and histidine produced by NDSRI were limited to 47%, 44%, and 44%, respectively, in the stress test (API: nitrite: scavenger 1:4:20, 60 °C, pH = 3, 23H). This will happen if the test is performed according to the requirements for N-nitrosamine synthesis (aqueous solution, high nitrosing agent concentration and permissible nitrosating pH). In fact, one of the consequences of N-nitrosamines is the interaction between histidine and nitrite, which are known mutagens. 4-Phenylpiperazine (PPz) and N-methylaniline (MPA) were analyzed at 20°C, pH 3 for 24 h, then analyzed the salt in solution. Please contact the authors. Butylpropyl alcohol, propyl gallate., para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and L-cysteine ​​– remove nitrites from your screen. Direct predictions cannot be obtained from historical data. List of amino acids negatively affected by histamine, arginine, lysine and glycine. Nitrogen is lost through elimination processes, nitrogen oxides or nitric oxide. Under the following conditions: 2 mM amine, API: nitrite: scavenger 1: 1.1: 22, 25 °C, pH 3, phosphate buffer, PPz can be produced. While the second MPA nitrified for 30 minutes, the first MPA only nitrified 5% in 24 hours. As we said in our previous article, it does not contain detergent and PABA, it is 23 secondary amines that play a role in the production of N-nitrosamines. Ascorbic and L-cysteine ​​levels decrease (75-90%). Our results show that low-strength PPz (>98% propyl gallate) products (50°C, 75% relative humidity, 1 month elapsed, 100 mg tablet) cannot be propagated with PPz oil. MPA more than 100 mg.21,22 Granulation and tableting may produce N-nitrosamines at levels up to 20 parts per million. Addition of 2 ppm nitrite to the main excipient, microcrystalline cellulose, doubled the N-nitrosamine content, indicating the potential presence of nitrite in the food. Compared to fatty amines, the initial level of N-nitrosamines can be as high as 2 ppm but in most cases (such as nitrite rise tests) the value is usually below the limit (10 ppb). Importantly, although nitroso-MPA acts rapidly under these conditions, experimental results are often ambiguous. There will be problems. According to the authors' theory, the nitroso group can be transferred to the aromatic ring (Fisher-Hupp rearrangement 83) or removed by denitrosation. Most (70% to 90%) decomposes within 8 days at 40 °C. This observation is important because this drug contains N-nitrosamine impurities. Further research is needed to confirm this phenomenon and understand the various conditions and elements of N-denitrosification and its ability to gradually reduce nitrosamine levels. Studies have shown that NDSRI formation is inhibited when aliphatic PPz is present; However, these tests have revealed some encouraging findings; for example, many detergents contain significant amounts of N-nitrosamines. This situation has been reported before. This change is significant compared to ascorbic acid, which requires the use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as MPA tablets. The research model of Kamm et al. Show the chemical state of a substance that does not affect its chemical properties. Properties such as size, crystallinity and yield are affected by distribution and moisture content. Especially for products that inhibit the Maillard process, such as vitamin C, we offer a processing method such as checking the color of the tablets during storage. Because some models show that they can be slow. Nitrosamines. The complexity of film substrates and subtle variations in manufacturing processes make today's results difficult to predict.23

 

7. Approaches for Conservation:

7.1. Management Of Nitrite Added Throughout Creation:

Treatment and prevention should focus on this area because nitrite concentrations in the preparation pose a major risk for the development of NDSRIs (CAPAs). To our knowledge, nitrite is the limiting factor for NDSRI production; This means that the nitrite concentration determines how much N-nitrosamine is present in the solution. Note, however, that during production and storage only a small fraction of the nitrite will be recognized as N-nitrosamine impurity and this percentage will remain in reaction with the primary amine. The same applies to fatty amines. About a few percent of the carbon monoxide is highly nitrosated. NDSRI yields are generally stable at levels below 100% nitrite uptake because when the reactants are immobilized in the polycrystalline phase or core polymer, the reactants (e.g., nitrite) are in the solid phase of the multiphase system and the Amines all produce energy. Anger Another factor that may be affected is low levels of certain N-nitrosamines and/or nitrites. Since so little is known about this, more research is needed to confirm this. A decrease in nitrite concentration will lead to 100-nitrosation of N-nitrosamine production, as the chemical yield sometimes appears to be controlled by [NO2] ratio. Square]- affects the rate of amine nitrosation. Many strategies have been used to reduce nitrite levels in supplements.24,25 Separation and drying can cause many problems if different manufacturers use different products, and sometimes finding low-nitrite products can help solve the problem. For example, when choosing the best products, confidentiality of direct information is guaranteed, but the Lhasa Nitrite Excipients Database is undoubtedly a good source of important information. Another way is to find alternatives to foods known to be high in nitrite. Comparison of povidone (but not sodium starch glycolate) with a nitrite-free diet. Using additional cleaning equipment to reduce nitrites is another option. For example, washing with water can reduce the nitrite content of water-insoluble excipients such as magnesium stearate or crospovidone if no nitrosating agent is present during drying. In order to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry, new materials such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), low aldehyde and peroxide polysorbate, low aldehyde and peroxide polyester, and crospovidone have emerged in recent years. contents. Similar options are available for some products that do not contain sufficient nitrite. The situation with nitrites in excipients is complex. Unlike other pesticides, the use of nitrites in many products is full of uncertainties. Depending on the product and manufacturing process, it can be difficult to determine if there is a difference or need.25 It is believed that the action of the dryer causes water to form nitrogen oxides that reach the final product. HNO2) or alkaline inorganic chemicals (such as nitrite). According to current research, methamphetamine produces nitrites when it comes into contact with gaseous nitric acid, which is very volatile and one of the most common household pollutants. Also note that the use of sodium hydroxide (superstoichiometric) in production appears to be associated with stable nitrite levels: sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose and magnesium stearate often contain added nitrite. The two main products in this review are croscarmellose sodium (made from NaOH but low in nitrite) and crospovidone (high in nitrite but without NaOH). Additionally, the most commonly found nitrite in amino products such as microcrystalline cellulose is ammonium nitrite. The stability of the drug depends on the type of cation, as the time required for the decomposition of NH4NO2 into N2 and H2O prevents NDSRI synthesis by reducing the NOx concentration. It is important to know the location (and correct form) of nitrogen in the excipient as this will help in calculating the cost of treatment. For example, if nitrogen oxides are formed during drying, cooling and/or the use of nitrogen-enriched air can reduce nitrogen oxides. Alternatively, wash the product before drying to protect it from the effects of acidic nitrogen oxides. Using a vacuum cleaner to simulate the drying process is another option. In fact, nitrogen oxide solutions were already being used in the brewing industry when NDMA (N-nitrosamine precursor) production during malt drying was investigated last year.26,27

 

7.2. Management of the Fabrication of N-Nitrosamine Over Creation:

Process modifications and additional nitrite controls may reduce the potential for NDSRI formation. For example, pH can be easily adjusted by adding alkaline additives to the sample or by converting the free base into an aminecontaining salt. Other areas may include process variables related to avoiding process hazards (such as texture or moisture), polymorphisms, or chemicals (such as particle size). Standardized production also reduces dust generation. NDSRIs are developing new drugs.

 

8. CONCLUSIONS:

Two years ago, the potent small molecule N-nitrosamine impurities produced during drug synthesis did not receive as much attention as NDSRIs, which are often found during drug preparation/storage. Although there are significant challenges in controlling NDSRIs in pharmaceutical products, strategies to prevent or eliminate N-nitrosamine impurities produced by the pharmaceutical manufacturing process are documented and well understood.28 Because tetrahydrofuran (or its precursors) is an important component of many drugs, drug therapy cannot completely prevent side effects; It is now nearly impossible to predict how NDSRI amine APIs will degrade during design, manufacture, and storage. In addition to API products that produce NDSRIs during drug synthesis, MAHs and API companies should also consider the possible production of N-nitrosamines or nitroso-based drugs. If the NDSRI level in the medication is above the limit, it is recommended to consider the mitigation strategies in this section. Promoting greater collaboration between MAHs, pharmaceutical companies, packaging companies and pharmaceutical companies to better understand the risks associated with the production of N-nitrosamines in pharmaceutical products. Collaboration and future research will reduce risk, NDSRI requirements, and the need for specialized testing. Guidelines and guidelines are updated regularly based on ongoing research.29,31
