The purpose of this guideline is to provide a practical framework that is applicable to the identi fication, categorization, qualification, and control of these mutagenic impurit ies to

Therefore, impurities could be controlled at acceptable levels for non -mutagenic impurities.Assessment of the mutagenic p

The safety risk assessment principles of th is guideline can be used if warranted for impurities in excipients that are use d for the first time in a drug product and are chemically synthesized.3.
14、 GENERAL PRINCIPLESThe focus of this guideline is on DNA reactive substances that have a poten tial to directly cause DNA damage when present at low levels leading to mutatio ns and therefore, potentially causing cancer. This type of mutagenic carcinogen is usually detected in a bacterial reverse mu

Othe r types of genotoxicants that are non-mutagenic typically have threshold mechan isms and usually do not pose carcinogenic risk in humans at the level ordinaril y present as impurities. Therefore to limit a possible human cancer risk associ ated with the exposure to
16、potentially mutagenic impurities, the bacterial mutag enicity assay is used to assess the mutagenic potential and the need for contro Is. Structure-based assessments are useful for predicting bacterial mutagenicit y outcomes based upon the established knowledge. There are a variety of approac hes to conduct this evaluation including a review of the available literature, and/or computational toxicology assessment.A Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC)
