Drugs containing sartan APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), such as valtrasan, candesartan, losartan and olmesartan, are used for treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Recently US FDA has released finding of probable human carcinogens, N-nitrosodimehyleamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N—N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA) in sartan drug products and the affected medicines have been recalled. These nitrosamine impurities can form during the production of sartans that contain a functional group known as a tetrazole ring under certain conditions. Additionally , the presence of the impurities in some sartans is possibly due to uses of contaminated equipment or reagents. To detect the presence of the nitrosamine impurities two methods based on headspace GCMS and direct liquid injection are released.
