“…Different synthetic pathways could be used to manufacture fingolimod, which may add other potential process‐related impurities depending on the manufacturing process, starting materials and intermediates used (Adachi et al, 1995; Kiuchi et al, 2000; Durand et al, 2000; Kalita et al, 2001; Seidel et al, 2004; Sugiyama et al, 2005; Kim et al, 2006; Matsumoto et al, 2008; Calzavara & McNulty, 2011; Feng et al, 2012; Kandagatla et al, 2013; Shaikh et al, 2015; Yan et al, 2015; Balaev et al, 2017; Maruthi Raju et al, 2017a, 2017b; Lin et al, 2018; Vinigari et al, 2019). To the prove the absence of additional impurities and ensure drug substance quality according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline Q3A, potential process‐related impurities should be evaluated and pharmacopoeia methods should be validated by the addition of these impurities, or in‐house methods should be developed and validated including all pharmacopoeia and in‐house impurities.…”
