GENOTOXIC IMPURITIES IN ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS
Debabrata Sanyal#*, Jitendra Verdia and Narendra Joshi
ABSTRACT
Impurities in pharmaceuticals are redundant chemical entities that remain with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), or develop during formulation, or upon aging of both API and formulations. Genotoxic impurities are distinguished class of impurities that can induce genetic mutations and/or chromosomal rearrangements at very
low levels. Confirming to this threat towards safety of APIs, global regulations are evolved for their control. The article primarily discusses all aspects related with generation, identification, monitoring and control of genotoxic impurities at suitable level for safe intake of pharmaceutical products.
Keywords: Genotoxic impurities.
