The public and the pharmaceutical industry are placing greater attention on impurities in drug as evidenced by the attention given to pharmaceutical impurities in books, journal articles, and national and international guidelines. The health implications of impurities can be significant because of their potential teratogenic, mutagenic, or carcinogenic effects. Controlling and monitoring impurities in APIs and finished drug products, therefore, is a crucial issue in drug development and manufacturing.
