Genotoxic impurities are impurities that are found to be potentially damaging to DNA in in vitro/in vivo experiments with DNA reactive substances as the main research objects
Under current regulations, genotoxic substances have the potential to damage DNA at any level of intake, and this damage could lead to the development of tumors. Therefore, for genotoxic carcinogens, it cannot be said that "there is no clear threshold or that any level of ingestion is associated with a risk of carcinogenesis".
A TTC value of "1.5ug/day", equivalent to 1.5ug of genotoxic impurities daily, is considered an acceptable risk for most drugs (lifetime cancer risk is less than 100,000/1). Based on this threshold, an acceptable level of impurity in the active drug can be calculated based on the expected daily intake.

Classification | Definition | Control strategy |
Ⅰ | Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity are known | Control within acceptable limits of the compound |
Ⅱ | Mutagenicity known, carcinogenicity unknown (bacterial mutation test positive, but no rodent carcinogenicity data) | Control within acceptable limits (appropriate TTC) |
Ⅲ | It has warning structure, has no relation to API structure, and has no mutagenicity data | Control to acceptable limits (suitable TTC) or detect bacterial mutations if not mutagenic, control as class 5 if mutagenic, control as class 2 |
Ⅳ | It has the same warning structure as the drug itself and no mutagenicity data | Controlled by non-genotoxic impurities |
Ⅴ | There is a warning structure or sufficient data to indicate that the warning structure is not mutagenic or carcinogenic | Controlled by non-genotoxic impurities |
According to the physical properties of genotoxic impurities, such as volatilization, molecular weight, ultraviolet absorption, boiling point, etc., different methods were used to quantify the impurities.

source of elemental impurities: elemental impurities include those that may be present in raw materials, excipients or preparations, from catalyst residues in synthesis,
Classification | Elemental impurities | Whether to conduct a risk assessment | Description |
Class 1 | As、Pb、Cd、Hg | YES | The elements arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) are toxic substances to humans and should not be used or restricted in pharmaceutical production, usually from mineral excipients. Therefore, these four elements must be evaluated in risk assessments for all routes of administration. |
Class 2A | Co、V、Ni | YES | Cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), vanadium (V). The presence of elements with a relatively high probability in medicinal products requires a risk assessment of all potential sources of elemental impurities and all routes of ingestion. |
Class 2B | Tl、Au、Pd、Ir、Os、Rh、Ru、Se、Ag、Pt | Only when added deliberately | Silver (Ag), gold (Au), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), selenium (Se), thallium (Tl), these elements are rare in nature and are less likely to appear in drugs. May be excluded from the risk assessment unless it is intentionally added to the manufacture of an active drug substance, excipient or other component of the drug product. |
Class 3 | Li、Sb、Ba、Mo 、Cu、Sn、Cr | It depends on the route of administration | These elements include barium (Ba), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lithium (Li), molybdenum (Mo), antimony (Sb), and tin (Sn). These elements have relatively low toxicity when ingested orally but need to be considered in risk assessment for inhalation and injection administration. Oral administration, unless intentionally added to the manufacture of an active drug substance, excipient, or other component of the drug product, does not need to be considered in the risk assessment. For injection and inhalation, the likelihood of the presence of these elements should be evaluated in the risk assessment unless the route of administration is PDE in excess of 500ug/day. |
Class 4 | B、Fe、Zn、K、Ca、Na、 Mn、Mg、W、Al | NO | These elemental impurities are less toxic and/or have different requirements in local regulations that do not specify PDE and are not stated in this guide. If these elements are present or included in medicinal products, they are dealt with in accordance with other guidelines or regional regulations. Such elements include aluminum (AL) and boron (B), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), tungsten (W), zinc (zinc). Aluminium, for example, impairs kidney function, and manganese and zinc are harmful to patients with liver dysfunction. |
