| Popis: | The nature of the starting material (SM) and the presence of (potentially) mutagenic impurities (PMIs) can correlate strongly, since many syntheses involve the use of potentially mutagenic electrophilic (alkylating) agents as SMs. Since the regulatory guidelines are far from clear and straightforward, selection of the appropriate SMs is a very challenging task for pharmaceutical companies. Here, the principal criteria for the selection of SMs have been identified based on the existing guidelines. Three SMs in the synthesis of vortioxetine drug substance were selected and justified on the basis of their incorporation into the structure of the API, on whether they have defined chemical properties and structure or not, on the number of synthetic steps between the SM and the API, on commercial availability and formation of impurities, and their control. Determination of a theoretical purge factor (TPF) was successful in evaluating the risk of using potentially mutagenic SM 1 and SM 3, with their related impur... |
