@DAB I see no reference on the document to Nitrosamines Impurities, only monograph added w/ supporting data. Am I missing it?

Hi Naiffer @Naiffer_Host
There’s no specific reference to Nitrosamines in this draft guidance. Monographs and ADIs have been incorporated for compounds which have the potential for forming mutagenic Imps, most of these compounds are employed in drug substance synthesis and some are also included in drug product excipients so this will be a good starting point for assessing and controlling limits from CMC perspective.
Nevertheless, it would be worthwhile to explore possibility of inclusion of ADIs for typical nitrosating agents on same lines as above.

The Day 1 of Generic Drugs forum 2022 started with a focus on Nitrosamines, Azide Imps and the emphasis on their control strategies both in drug substance and products
