Briefly; Impurities are the main huge tree! while related substances are considered branch of that tree.


A good guidance is ICH Q3A.


 In details; according to ICH Q3A; Impurities can be classified into the following categories:


 Organic impurities (process- and drug-related; related substances)


 Inorganic impurities


 Residual solvents


Organic impurities can arise during the manufacturing process and/or storage of the drug substance. They can be identified or unidentified, volatile or non-volatile, and include:


- Starting materials


- By-products


- Intermediates


- Degradation products


- Reagents, ligands and catalysts


Inorganic impurities can result from the manufacturing process. They are normally known and identified and include:


 Reagents, ligands and catalysts


 Heavy metals or other residual metals


 Inorganic salts


 Other materials (e.g., filter aids, charcoal)


Solvents are inorganic or organic liquids used as vehicles for the preparation of solutions or suspensions in the synthesis of a new drug substance.
