Background technology
Hetastarch (HES) generally uses in the patient of those massive blood losses, has suppression Ink vessel transfusing erythrocyte aggregation
Effect;It is mainly used in improving microcirculation disturbance, is clinically used for hypovolemic shock, such as hemorrhagic shock, burn property and operation
The rhomboembolia type illness such as middle shock.HES can keep the blood volume of patient, prevents their circulation from collapsing simultaneously.Due to hydroxyl
Hydroxyethyl starch itself is to be formed by starch transformation, and its structure is similar with glycogen, and allergy incidence rate is far below dextran, inanimate object
The virus infection of goods threatens, and medical expense is the most relatively low and is increasingly subject to clinical welcome.
The chemical name of hetastarch is 6-(2-hydroxyethyl) starch;English entitled Hydroxyethyl Starch;
Structural formula is as shown in following formula I:
Formulas I
Hetastarch is white or off-white powder, and odorless is tasteless, has stronger hygroscopicity.It is the most soluble,
Cold water dissolve slowly, insoluble in methanol and ether.Specific optical rotation is+175 °~+195 °.
The hetastarch huge number used at present both at home and abroad, divide by molecular weight have low (Mw < 100kDa), in (Mw
Between 100kDa~300kDa), high (Mw > 300kDa) three kinds;Divide have low (Ms between 0.3~0.6) and height (Ms by replacing level
> 0.6) two kinds.For a long time, the hetastarch that domestic enterprise produces has mean molecule quantity to be 20,000 and 4 WANLIANG kinds, belongs to low point
Sub-hetastarch, concentration is 6%, and all with 0.5% sodium chloride injection compatibility application, (7 very much in the range of kidney threshold for both of which
Son amount), to drain rapidly through kidney after therefore series products entrance is internal, the dilatation time is short, and dilatation is unstable, tends not to reach blood
The effect of Capacity Expansion, the most just cannot realize recovering the purpose of hematodinamics balance.Untoward reaction simultaneously has been reported that repeatly, abroad
Do not produce.Due to the aspect such as safety and curative effect, the HES of low-molecular-weight high substituted degree in early days the most gradually by point
Son amount low degree of substitution HES substitutes.130/0.4, by reducing molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution that narrows, reduces replacement level and change takes
For mode (C2/C6), there is good safety and capacity enlargement effect clinically.
In the prior art, hetastarch is produced typically with starch as starting material;Through hydrolyzing, be etherified, adsorb, surpassing
The steps such as filter and spray drying.Such as, the customary preparation methods of hetastarch of the prior art is: starch adds a certain amount of
Purified water, hydrochloric acid or enzyme, be hydrolyzed at a certain temperature, controls hydrolysis degree, stops when hydrolysis reaches suitable molecular weight
Sealing solution, makees catalyst with sodium hydroxide, makes starch and oxirane carry out ethoxyl etherification to be etherified, uses afterwards
(such as) activated carbon removes impurity and decolouring, is removed by the impurity such as the hetastarch of small-molecular-weight and salt by ultrafilter membrane,
Afterwards by being spray-dried prepared hetastarch finished product.
In the preparation of hetastarch, owing to starch had once been infected with a large amount of antibacterial in production, storage, transportation, this
After a little bacterial death, cellular lysate is stored in feed liquid, has lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoid A in lysate, also known as endotoxin, for heat
The active part in source, their relative molecular weight is generally 1-2.5 ten thousand KD, easily associates into the association body of 50-100KD in water,
This kind of material has stronger thermostability and chemical stability, is difficult to be eliminated (100 DEG C, heating 1h also will not be destroyed).In
Toxin can cause human body heating, microcirculation disturbance, endotoxin shock and disseminated inravascular coagulation etc., will bring to Clinical practice
Potential safety hazard, even causes malpractice.
And as injection raw material, the bacterial endotoxin index of medium molecular weight hydroxyethyl starch be one very important
Quality index, bacterial endotoxin index quality criteria requirements to be met, and for the consideration of drug safety, at present in
The bacterial endotoxin index aspect of molecular weight hydroxyethyl starch, its upper limit is about 50EU/g, and becoming that it is reduced as best one can
Gesture is more and more obvious.
In the preparation method of existing hetastarch, the removal of bacterial endotoxin mainly by etherification step it
After, remove bacterial endotoxin by activated carbon adsorption and ultrafiltration.
Wherein, although activated carbon adsorption has preferably on bacteria endotoxin content in absorption bacterial endotoxin, reduction medicinal liquid
Effect, but absorption may eventually reach certain saturated extent of adsorption (≤75%), and if in order to meet the more antibacterial endogenous toxins of absorption
The purpose of element and take the way adding activated carbon also can cause the loss of principal agent composition more, affect yield, so medicinal liquid to be made
In bacterial endotoxin be reduced to reduced levels, the method has its limitation.
And although ultrafiltration can remove substantial amounts of bacterial endotoxin, but for hetastarch (particularly Middle molecule
Amount hetastarch) for, due to molecular weight distribution (15000-400000) and the bacterial endotoxin molecular weight distribution of this product
(thousand of to hundreds of thousands) have major part to overlap, in this way for removing the bacterial endotoxin in medicinal liquid in actual applications
Also it is restricted.
Detailed description of the invention
Below by way of the description of detailed description of the invention, the invention will be further described, but this is not the limit to the present invention
System, those skilled in the art are according to the basic thought of the present invention, and various modifications may be made or improves, but without departing from this
The basic thought of invention, the most within the scope of the present invention.
In this article, " bacterial endotoxin " includes such a heteromultimer, and its essence is lipopolysaccharide
(lipopolysaccharide, LpS), including lipoid A (lipidA), core polysaccharide, O-specific antigen polysaccharide (O-
Antigen) three ingredients.Wherein lipoid A is by phosphoglucose amine disaccharidase main chain and the length of the most covalently bound 10-18 carbon
Chain fatty acid forms, and contains hydrophobic center and hydrophilic edge the most simultaneously, is a kind of double property molecule, is again soda acid both sexes
Molecule.The antibacterial of different genera, is respectively provided with basically identical lipoid A skeleton, is part the most conservative in endotoxin.And class
Fat A has complete endotoxic characteristic, is the active center of LPS, and the harm to health is the most maximum.Core polysaccharide is by connecting
The kernel portion composition of the outer core part of O-specificity chain and connection lipoid A.Outer core part is mainly made up of hexose and heptose, tool
Having higher sugared heterologous, the difference of some gram negative bacteria core component mostly occurs the hexose molecule in this structure division
On.Kernel portion is the most stable, mainly by KDO(2-ketone group-3-deoxidation-D. manna alcohol type-ketooctulosonic acid) and heptose structure
Become.O-specificity chain is repeated oligomerisation sugar unit by 4~40 and forms, and each oligomerisation sugar unit is made up of 3-8 monosaccharide molecule.
O-specificity chain has strain specific, and some endotoxin does not exist O-specificity chain, and this has no effect on and damage its biology
Activity.The structure of the special chain of O-is the most labile part in endotoxin molecule, such as: its monosaccharide molecule can be by second phthalein
Glycosylation, it is possible to the number of conversion repetitive.The special chain of O-of different strain is different, and therefore its antigen has the spy of strain
The opposite sex.On epicyte, the effect of self-protection is played in the active change of endotoxin kind, is adapted to the change of surrounding.
Under the conditions of common pH, the saccharide residue in endotoxin molecule is by partial phosphorylation (pK1=l.3, pK2=8.2, pI=3.1), phosphoric acid
Foundation group and KDO carry a large amount of negative charge, and therefore endotoxin molecule shows elecrtonegativity the most in the solution.
