Pfizer is voluntarily recalling Accuretic (quinapril HCl/hydrochlorothiazide) tablets distributed by Pfizer as well as two authorized generics distributed by Greenstone (quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide and quinapril HCl/ hydrochlorothiazide) to the patient (consumer/user) level due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-quinapril, above the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.
Pfizer will recall six lots of Accuretic tablets, one lot of quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide tablets and four lots of quinapril HCl/ hydrochlorothiazide tablets.

This is the list of ACE inhibitors I was able to pull from GSRS. I have flagged secondary amines and Alpha Hydrogen in the structure.

Hey Naiffer,
Where did you find these data? I am currently looking for a pharmaceutical sample, which possible containes NDMA, NDEA or NDBA, and I would like to do the same risk analyses as you did.
Thanks for the help, in advance!
