Thank you for asking, Cristos. I compared both Excel. Smiles and structure of N-nitroso-tizanidine Impurity 3 differed from each other.

In addition, the K Line(First publication date) was described as the “publication date” in the old version. Due to this change, the K line (first edition publication date) of 21 nitrosamines has been changed from the previous version.

TD50 of n-nitroso-ciprofloxacin? :thinking:

I am scratching my head right now. Do someone really did a Carc. test for N-Nitroso Ciprofloxacin? Good thing is that similar structures (some piperidine like ones perhaps too?) would be able to read across from that TD50?

I checked, the argumentation line in N-Nitroso Ciprofloxacin and still says -tive in In-vivo mutagenicity test.

I think this is just a typo. :sweat_smile:
