مستخلص: Background: FDA limited N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) - a carcinogenic impurity formed during metformin (MET) tablets manufacturing - level to 96 ng/day; a step which led to recall of MET products. This work aims to investigate the root cause of NDMA formation during MET tablets manufacturing.
Research Design and Methods: We focused on three main contributing causes: use of water and heat during intra-granulation, and the nitrite/nitrate quantities in excipients. Thirteen MET tablet formulations (immediate or sustained-release) were manufactured, on batch level. Each batch was manufactured using one excipient and excluding one cause at a time and NDMA level was assayed.
Results: NDMA traces were undetectable in MET tablets manufactured using polyvinyl pyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl cellulose SSL, even when water and/or heat were employed during intra-granulation. Levels of NDMA in MET tablets with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) E5 or carboxymethyl cellulose sodium 4000 were 67.08 ± 2.3 and 66.21 ± 2.5 ng/day, in the presence of water and/or heat. No impact of employing extra-granular Polyox TM , HPMC E5 or HPMC K15 on NDMA formation, despite the high nitrite and nitrate content in these excipients.
Conclusions: Water, heat, and excipients' nitrite and nitrate levels are the key players, which should collectively exist, to cause NDMA formation during MET tablets manufacturing.
