Study description

Endogenous formation of N-nitrosamines from drug substance. the aim of the study is to investigate the impact of physiological conditions on the formation of nitrosamines from secondary amines adjacent to various alkyl or aromatic moieties. Main topics: 1) Cultivate relevant APIs with representative microbiomal strains like Helicobacter pylori, E. coli and artificial intestinal flora under primarily anaerobic conditions to mimic conditions in the large and small intestine. 2) Investigate the impact of nitrite/nitrate concentrations and the pH-value on NA formation. 3) Investigate kinetics of NA-formation for those APIs that show biotransformation. 4) Investigate the potential of selected microbiome strains to reduce NO2- to NH4+ and thus contribute to detoxification process.
