Background technology
In recent years steroid drugs production sustainable growth, and traditional steroid drugs production mainly is to extract diosgenin to form by chemosynthesis from the plants such as wild Chinese crude drug " earthworm ", its technique is very complicated, raw materials used in short supply, cost is very high, and contaminated environment, therefore, rise rapidly take plant sterol as the processing industry of raw material synthesizing steroid medicine, and grow up with surprising rapidity.Plant sterol has become the synthetic primary raw material of steroid drugs at present.This fundamentally changes, and traditional chemical synthesizing steroid medicine step is many, the deficiency of the aspects such as yield is low, price; also take full advantage of resources advantage; break away from the starting material source because of the restriction of the natural causes such as season, region to producing, be conducive to protect national resource and ecology.
Androstenedione (AD) is the synthetic key intermediates of many steroid drugs, is one of important raw and processed materials of producing the steroid hormone medicine.As precursor, it can continue more than the 20 kind of steroid hormone medicines such as synthetic all corticoids, estrogen, androgen, protein anabolic hormone.The method of producing at present androstenedione is to utilize specific microbial strains, in water/organic solvent two-phase fermentation system, with the side chain selective ablation of plant sterol, thereby changes into androstenedione.The structural formula of androstenedione is:
In the process of utilizing microbe transformation method production androstenedione, employed raw material is from the concise leftover bits and pieces of vegetable oil, the plant sterol that extracts in the deodorization distillate, it is brassicasterol (Brassicasterol), campesterol (Campesterol), stigmasterol (Stigmasterol), the cupreol (potpourri of β-Sitosterol), the structure of these 4 kinds of monomer sterols is closely similar, only there are differences in individual groups, structural formula separately is as follows:
The campesterol cupreol
Campesterol β-Sitosterol
The stigmasterol brassicasterol
Stigmasterol Brassicasterol
This structural roughly similarity has brought certain difficulty for follow-up characterization processes, utilize traditional detection method to be difficult to it is separated, thereby can't learn that microorganism especially has a liking for any plant sterol during the fermentation, select to make troubles for later raw material.Simultaneously during the fermentation, not only synthesized androstenedione, and had many accessory substances to generate, the generation of these accessory substances may affect the Accurate Determining of androstenedione, makes troubles for the production of enterprise.Therefore, be necessary to seek one or more methods, so that can Accurate Determining plant sterol and androstenedione.
The method of measuring at present plant sterol in the prior art has:
1. the classic method gravimetric method namely adopts digitonin to react with sterol under certain condition, and generation precipitates the drying weighing and records sterol content.The method operation steps is many, analysis time is long, disturbing factor is more;
2.TLC thin layer chromatography, and can only carry out "ball-park" estimate with the TLC thin layer chromatography board, because the microbial conversion product structure of plant sterol approaches, use thin layer chromatography sensitivity low, do not meet the advance of production target;
3. high performance liquid chromatography detection method, adopt the UV detecting device, and with methyl alcohol as mobile phase, the detection wavelength is 205nm (absorbing wavelength), and its wavelength is short to be disturbed greatly, is subject to the impact of mobile phase, sample treatment, bring certain difficulty to analysis, and the sample determination time is longer, and selectivity is relatively relatively poor, is difficult to the structural similarity product is detected;
4. vapor-phase chromatography, sample need esterified 30 minutes, also need extract, the operation steps such as evaporate to dryness, the disposal route time is long, disturbing factor is many.
