genotoxicity | mesylate is a genotoxic impurity with a limit of 1.5g/d. 1 The daily dose is 800 mg, accordingly, the limit of MMS and EMS must not be more than 1.875G/G. Preclinical studies of some mesylate esters have found that these mesylate esters can directly react with biological macromolecules (DNAs,RNAs and proteins) by alkylation, which may lead to DNA mutation, carcinogenic effect and teratogenic effect. |
varieties of sulfonic acid esters | methanesulfonic acid, benzene methane sulfonic acid and other sulfonate substances and trace amounts of lower alcohols in the synthesis reaction to generate alkyl sulfonate, such as methyl Methane Sulfonate (MMS), Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS), isopropyl Methane Sulfonate (IMS), N-butyl methanesulfonate (NBMS), as well as aryl sulfonates such as methyl benzenesulfonate (MBS), ethyl benzenesulfonate (EBS), p-toluenesulfonate (MP-TS), which can alkylate with DNA, thus, it may become a cause of cancer, so it is very important to control the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) level of such impurities in drugs, the European EMA has published a maximum intake of genotoxic impurities of 1.5 μg/d. |
