Abstract
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, was recently detected in ranitidine products,1 prompting widespread regulatory recalls.2 Ranitidine is a histamine2-receptor antagonist that inhibits gastric acid secretion and bears a molecular structure that putatively supports NDMA production under suitable reactive and storage conditions.3 We sought to further characterize conditions of NDMA production under simulated physiologic gastric states.
