They have to implement a whole risk assessment to rate the presence of impurities in the API. However, API manufacturers cannot simply rely on the impurity profile reported in pharmacopoeias for the production of a high-quality product. Therefore, pharmacopoeias try to consider all possible impurities that can arise from different drug synthesis routes in one a single monograph for impurity assessment. Different synthetic routes result in different impurity profiles. It is impossible to synthesize a 100 % pure compound which holds true for all active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Most of these discussions covered the field of nitrosamine impurities only, but that would be too short-sighted. These events led to a lot of discussion with regard to the risk assessment for the production process itself. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had reported on “unexpected” impurities in a couple of sartans, ranitidine, and metformin. 11 CCDC 1901622 ( 3k) contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.Recently, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S.Supporting information for this article is available online at.
