Abstract
The presence of N-nitroso compounds, particularly N-nitrosamines, in pharmaceutical products has raised global safety concerns due to their significant genotoxic and mutagenic effects. This systematic review investigates their toxicity in active pharmaceutical ingredients, drug products, and pharmaceutical excipients, along with novel analytical strategies for detection, root cause analysis, reformulation strategies, and regulatory guidelines for nitrosamines. This review emphasizes the molecular toxicity of N-nitroso compounds, focusing on genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, and other physiological effects. Additionally, it addresses the ongoing nitrosamine crisis, the development of nitrosamine-free products, and the importance of sensitive detection methods and precise risk evaluation. This comprehensive overview will aid molecular biologists, analytical scientists, and formulation scientists in research and development sector, and researchers involved in management of nitrosamine-induced toxicity and promoting safer pharmaceutical products.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis (JPA), established in 2011, serves as the official publication of Xi'an Jiaotong University.
JPA is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to disseminating noteworthy original research articles, review papers, short communications, news, research highlights, and editorials in the realm of Pharmacy Analysis. Encompassing a wide spectrum of topics, including Pharmaceutical Analysis, Analytical Techniques and Methods, Pharmacology, Metabolism, Drug Delivery, Cellular Imaging & Analysis, Natural Products, and Biosensing, JPA provides a comprehensive platform for scholarly discourse and innovation in the field.
