N-Nitroso Famotidine 1: Synthesis Attempts and Failure Report (NAP Test)

N‑Nitroso Famotidine 1 is a proposed nitrosamine impurity related to famotidine, an H2‑receptor antagonist used to reduce gastric acid secretion. It represents a nitrosated derivative that could form when nitrosatable nitrogens in famotidine (or its intermediates/related substances) are exposed to nitrosating agents such as nitrite/nitrous acid under acidic conditions.

EMA Guidance on Nitrosamines

According to EMA guidelines, if repeated synthesis attempts fail to detect the formation of nitrosamine impurities, it is likely that the impurity either does not exist or poses an extremely low risk.

Nitrosation

We conducted multiple nitrosation assays under rigorous forced conditions (NAP tests), to evaluate the risk of N-Nitroso Famotidine 1 formation. Our findings revealed that N-Nitroso Famotidine 1 does not readily undergo nitrosation under the expected conditions, significantly reducing concerns about its potential formation.
