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]
The effects of nitroso compounds vary dramatically across the gastrointestinal tract, and with diet. Nitroso compounds present in stool do not induce nitrosamine formation, because stool has neutral pH. [7] [8] Stomach acid catalyzes nitrosamine compound formation and is the main location of the reaction during digestion. [9]
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-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) is an organic compound with the formula Et 2 NNO (Et = C 2 H 5).A member of the nitrosamines, it is a light-sensitive, volatile, clear yellow oil that is soluble in water, lipids, and other organic solvents.
Following EMA's call for an industry-wide review of medicines for the possible presence of nitrosamines, [198] GlaxoSmithKline paused batch release and distribution of bupropion 150 mg tablets in November 2022. In July 2023, EMA raised the acceptable daily intake of nitrosamine impurities, leading GlaxoSmithKline to announce that distribution ...
Nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) is one of the key tobacco-specific nitrosamines derived from nicotine. It plays an important role in carcinogenesis . [ 1 ] The conversion of nicotine to NNK entails opening of the pyrrolidine ring.
High levels of dietary exposure to nitrosamines (chemical compounds found both in tobacco smoke and certain foodstuffs) also appear to be a relevant risk factor. [16] Unfavorable dietary patterns seem to involve exposure to nitrosamines through processed and barbecued meats, pickled vegetables, etc., and a low intake of fresh foods. [2]
