The US Food and Drug Administration published guidance about the control of nitrosamine impurities in medicines. [32] [33] Health Canada published guidance about nitrosamine impurities in medications [34] and a list of established acceptable intake limits of nitrosamine impurities in medications. [35]
Generally, people should not be exposed to a lifetime risk of cancer exceeding 1 in 100,000 from nitrosamines in their medicines. [12] EU regulators first became aware of nitrosamines in medicines in mid-2018, and took regulatory actions, including recalling medicines and stopping the use of active substances from certain manufacturers.

N-Nitrosoglyphosate is the nitrosamine degradation product and synthetic impurity of glyphosate herbicide. The US EPA limits N-nitrosoglyphosate impurity to a maximum of 1 ppm in glyphosate formulated products. [1] N-Nitrosoglyphosate can also form from the reaction of nitrates and glyphosate.
In August 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) became aware of nitrosamine impurities in certain samples of rifapentine. [11] The FDA and manufacturers are investigating the origin of these impurities in rifapentine, and the agency is developing testing methods for regulators and industry to detect the 1-cyclopentyl-4 ...
“Nitrosamine impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time,” the agency adds, “but a person taking a drug ...

Various chloroethylnitrosoureas (such as N, N'-bis (2-chloroethyl)nitrosourea, BCNU) have obtained a medical use in the field of malignant tumors. [2] It is hypothesized that the efficacy against cancer cells is based on the alkylability of guanine cytosine centers in the sequences of the genetic material, especially the oncogenes.
Among the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) and N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) are the most carcinogenic. [1] Others include N ′-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N-nitrosoanabasine (NAB). NNK and its metabolite 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) are potent systemic lung carcinogens in rats ...
