Nitrosamines are a group of chemical compounds known for their carcinogenic properties. These compounds can unintentionally form as impurities during the manufacturing of various substances, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). With the FDA and global health authorities strengthening regulatory requirements after several prominent recalls of widely used medications, the spotlight on nitrosamines has intensified. For pharmaceutical companies, the stakes are high. The presence of nitrosamines in drug products on the market can trigger recalls, causing severe financial and reputational damage.
