Event Overview:
Nitrosamine (genotoxic) impurities have been found in some angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) medicines, such as valsartan, and more recently in histamine-2 receptor blocker medicines, such as ranitidine, drawing close scrutiny from FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulatory bodies.

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has typically been the detection technique of choice; however, not all nitrosamines can be analyzed this way. As the number of known nitrosamines requiring trace level quantitation increases, the greater the need for robust, sensitive, and high-throughput assays to provide a cost-sensitive approach of a single analysis capable of accurately measuring all compounds. The use of liquid chromatography with high-resolution MS (LC-HRMS) allows low level detection and high confidence of a wider range of nitrosamine impurities.

Here we will describe analytical options to solve nitrosamine analysis challenges.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Why is the analysis of genotoxic impurities important?

  • How can cost-sensitive genotoxin impurity analysis be delivered using high-resolution mass spectrometry?

  • Can high-resolution mass spectrometry be easily implemented under GMP conditions?

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
Complying with International Pharmacopoeias
Susan J. Schniepp, distinguished fellow with Nelson Labs, and Siegfried Schmitt, PhD, vice president, Technical, with Parexel, clear up some of the confusion about what does and does not need to be complied with regarding standards set by international pharmacopoeias.
