Analysis of Potential Genotoxic Impurities in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

Chemicals such as methanesulfonic acid (mesylate), benzenesulfonic acid (besilate), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (tosylate) are used in the process of synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients. These compounds are likely to generate sulfonic acid ester as a reaction byproduct. These compounds are known as potential genotoxic impurities (PGI) and are a significant cause for concern among pharmaceutical manufacturers. This article introduces the analysis of sulfonic acid esters utilizing the GCMS-QP2010 Ultra.
