02Structural nitrosamine screen
This is a structure-only screen for the API. It does not predict manufacturing conditions, nitrite exposure, reaction kinetics or analytical results.
A detected secondary amine is a structural alert that requires process-specific assessment.
N-dealkylation can be relevant to impurity pathway assessment. A methyl group elsewhere in the molecule is not treated as a nitrosamine alert.
Interpretation: Formation potential cannot be concluded from structure alone. Review the synthesis, recovered solvents, amine reagents, nitrite sources, pH, temperature and purge controls.
