N-Nitroso-N-Desmethyl Rosuvastatin: Synthesis Attempts and Failure Report (NAP Test)

N-Nitroso-N-Desmethyl Rosuvastatin is a proposed nitrosamine impurity related to N-desmethyl rosuvastatin, a rosuvastatin-related impurity/metabolite. The desmethyl impurity introduces or exposes a nitrosatable amine that, in the presence of nitrosating agents (e.g., nitrite/nitrous acid) under acidic conditions, could form the corresponding N-nitroso derivative.

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-N-Desmethyl Rosuvastatin formation. Our findings revealed that N-Nitroso-N-Desmethyl Rosuvastatin does not readily undergo nitrosation under the expected conditions, significantly reducing concerns about its potential formation.
