Genotoxic impurities (GTIs) in pharmaceuticals are chemical compounds that have the potential to cause damage to DNA, leading to mutations, chromosomal aberrations, or other genotoxic effects. These impurities may be present in pharmaceutical products as a result of the manufacturing process, degradation of drug substances or excipients, or contamination from raw materials. GTIs pose significant safety concerns as they can increase the risk of carcinogenesis, reproductive toxicity, and other adverse health effects in patients. Regulatory agencies such as the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) require the assessment and control of GTIs in pharmaceuticals to ensure patient safety. Strategies for managing GTIs include setting acceptable limits, conducting risk assessments, and implementing control measures during drug development and manufacturing. Analytical techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and in vitro assays are employed to detect, quantify, and characterize GTIs in pharmaceutical formulations. Pharmacopoeial guidelines and regulatory standards provide guidance on the evaluation and control of GTIs in pharmaceutical products. Continuous monitoring and risk assessment throughout the product lifecycle are essential to mitigate the potential risks associated with genotoxic impurities in pharmaceuticals and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
