ICH M7 Genotoxic Impurities Compliance Testing
The ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation) guideline M7 provides a framework to ensure that pharmaceutical products are free from genotoxic impurities. This is critical for the safety of patients and compliance with regulatory requirements worldwide. At Eurolab, we specialize in providing comprehensive testing services to meet the stringent demands set forth by ICH M7.
Our approach involves rigorous sample preparation, state-of-the-art analytical techniques, and adherence to international standards such as ISO 17025 and FDA guidelines. The process begins with thorough evaluation of raw materials used in drug development phases. We employ advanced chromatographic methods like HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) along with mass spectrometry for precise identification and quantification of potential genotoxic impurities.
Sample preparation is crucial to ensure accurate results. This includes dissolution, purification, derivatization if necessary, and ensuring that the sample matrix does not interfere with analytical detection. Once prepared, samples are analyzed using validated methods tailored according to ICH M7 requirements. Our laboratory adheres strictly to these guidelines when selecting appropriate chromatographic columns, mobile phases, column temperatures, flow rates, and detector settings.
For genotoxicity testing itself, we use Ames tests or in vitro mammalian cell assays as recommended by ICH M7. These tests help determine whether a substance can cause mutations that might lead to cancer formation if ingested or absorbed into the body. Additionally, our team performs metabolic stability studies under different conditions relevant to human metabolism.
The environmental impact of our work is significant. By ensuring pharmaceutical products do not contain harmful genotoxic impurities before they reach consumers, we contribute positively towards public health and safety. Compliance with ICH M7 helps prevent adverse effects on patients who may be particularly vulnerable due to pre-existing medical conditions or age factors.
We understand the importance of traceability throughout all stages of testing; therefore, each step is meticulously documented following good laboratory practices (GLPs). This ensures that results can be reproduced by other laboratories if needed. Our commitment extends beyond just meeting regulatory standards; it includes continuous improvement efforts aimed at enhancing test accuracy and efficiency.
