Zolmitriptan Nitroso Impurity 1 is a process-related nitrosamine impurity associated with the manufacture or degradation of Zolmitriptan. It is formed when nitrosating agents react with secondary or tertiary amine groups under certain conditions, and is closely monitored in pharmaceutical quality control because nitrosamine impurities are considered potentially genotoxic and therefore strictly limited by regulatory guidelines.
