HPLC analytical method and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the Microbe synthesis field of steroid drugs, produce the application in androstenedione in particular to a kind of HPLC analytical method and in plant sterol microbial conversion.
Background technology
The sustainable growth of steroid drugs production in recent years, and traditional steroid drugs production forms through chemosynthesis after mainly extracting diosgenin 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, be that the processing industry of Material synthesis steroid drugs is risen rapidly with plant sterol, and grow up with surprising rapidity.Current plant sterol has become the primary raw material of steroid drugs synthesis.This fundamentally changes the deficiency of the aspects such as traditional chemical synthesizing steroid pharmaceutical procedures is many, yield is low, price; also make full use of resources advantage; break away from raw material sources because the natural cause such as season, region is to the restriction of producing, be conducive to protecting national resource and ecology.
Androstenedione (AD) is the key intermediate of many steroid drugs synthesis, is one of important raw and processed materials of producing steroid hormonal drugs.As precursor, it can continue to synthesize more than the 20 kind of steroid hormonal drugs such as all corticoids, estrogen, androgen, protein anabolic hormone.The method of current production androstenedione utilizes specific microbial strains, in water/organic solvent two-phase fermentation system, by the side chain selective ablation of plant sterol, thus changes into androstenedione.The structural formula of androstenedione is:
Produce in the process of androstenedione utilizing microbe transformation method, the raw material used is from the concise leftover bits and pieces of vegetable oil, the plant sterol extracted in deodorization distillate, it is the potpourri of brassicasterol (Brassicasterol), campesterol (Campesterol), stigmasterol (Stigmasterol), cupreol (β-Sitosterol), the structure of these 4 kinds of monomer sterols is closely similar, only there are differences on individual radical, respective structural formula is as follows:
Campesterol cupreol
Campesterol β-Sitosterol
Stigmasterol brassicasterol
Stigmasterol Brassicasterol
This structural roughly similarity brings certain difficulty to follow-up characterization processes, traditional detection method is utilized to be difficult to be separated, thus cannot learn that microorganism especially has a liking for any plant sterol during the fermentation, select to make troubles to later raw material.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 to the production of enterprise simultaneously.Therefore, be necessary to seek one or more methods, so that can Accurate Determining plant sterol and androstenedione.
The method measuring plant sterol in currently available technology has:
1. classic method gravimetric method, namely adopts digitonin to react with sterol under certain condition, generates precipitation drying and weighs and record sterol content.The method operation steps is many, analysis time is long, disturbing factor is more;
2.TLC thin layer chromatography, and "ball-park" estimate can only be carried out by TLC thin layer chromatography board, because the microbial conversion product structure of plant sterol is close, use thin layer chromatography sensitivity low, do not meet the advance of production target;
3. high performance liquid chromatography detection method, adopt UV detecting device, and using methyl alcohol as mobile phase, determined wavelength is 205nm (absorbing wavelength), and the short interference of its wavelength is large, is subject to the impact of mobile phase, sample treatment, certain difficulty is brought to analysis, and the sample determination time is longer, selectivity is relatively poor, is difficult to detect structure analogous product;
4. vapor-phase chromatography, sample need esterified 30 minutes, also need to carry out to extract, the operation steps such as evaporate to dryness, the disposal route time is long, and disturbing factor is many.
