N-Nitroso Desmethyl Citalopram is a nitrosamine impurity that can arise during the manufacture or storage of citalopram, an antidepressant. Like other nitrosamines, it is monitored because of its potential carcinogenic risk, not because it has any therapeutic or industrial use. Its importance is limited to pharmaceutical quality control, impurity profiling, and meeting regulatory safety requirements for citalopram products.
