N-Nitroso Apixaban Pentanoic Acid is a nitrosamine impurity that can form in apixaban, an oral anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots and stroke. It has no therapeutic application; its importance is in drug safety, as nitrosamines are potentially carcinogenic, and strict control is required to keep its levels within safe limits in medications.
