FAQ

よくある質問

2024 年 1 月 24 日 ICH Step 4 Minor Revision Procedure で採択された医薬品残留溶媒ガイドラインの改訂版。Section 3.4 で Solvent Volatility for Analytical Methods の考慮が追加。FDA・EMA・PMDA(2024-06-20 以降新試験)・NMPA(公告 2024 年第 76 号)で Multi-region 実装されました。

Class 1(To Be Avoided)は Benzene・Carbon Tetrachloride・1,2-Dichloroethane・1,1-Dichloroethene・1,1,1-Trichloroethane の 5 物質で Human Carcinogen、Class 2(To Be Limited)は Non-genotoxic Animal Carcinogen・Serious Tox で PDE < 50 mg/day、Class 3(Low Toxic Potential)は PDE ≥ 50 mg/day・通常 Limit 不要、Class 4(Insufficient Data)は Case-by-Case の 4 分類です。

Option 1 は各 Solvent 別の Concentration Limit(ppm)を直接適用、Option 2 は Weight-based で Drug Substance・Excipient・Drug Product の Daily Dose に対して累積 PDE 算定。Option 2 が実務主流で Manufacturer が Total Daily Dose 計算と各 Solvent PDE 充足を確認します。

2024-01-24 Minor Revision で Section 3.4 Solvent Volatility for Analytical Methods 追加のみ。Methyl Isobutyl Ketone(2016 改訂維持)・Tetrahydrofuran(2005 改訂維持)・2-Methyltetrahydrofuran・Cyclopentyl Methyl Ether・Tert-butanol の 2021 追加は R8 時点で既導入済み。Class 1 PDE Limit は 1997 年初版から維持です。

GC(Gas Chromatography)基盤の Headspace Sampling 推奨、Capillary Column + FID/MS 検出器、USP General Method(Procedure A/B/C)・Ph.Eur. 2.4.24 同等。R9 で Solvent Volatility 考慮が明確化、ICH Q2(R2) Analytical Validation(2023-11 Step 4)連動で Method Validation が必要です。
