The product is white to yellowish powder or crystalline powder, and is easily soluble in water.
C15H16N7NaO5S3Is the second generation cephalosporin with wide gram negative, positive and anaerobic bacteria resisting effect. It is composed ofThe product has strong antibacterial effect on staphylococcus and other gram-positive bacteria, has good effect on escherichia coli, pneumonia bacillus and proteus mirabilis, has drug resistance on pseudomonas and acinetobacter, is stable to β -lactamase (including penicillin and cephalosporin resistant enzyme), is used for intravenous injection of 1g to healthy people, has a blood concentration of 188 micrograms/ml in 10 minutes, has a1 hour intravenous injection period of 76 micrograms/ml after 1g is finished, has a 6 hour blood concentration of 1.9 micrograms/ml and a 2.7 micrograms/ml t1/2 about 1 hour, has a high concentration in bile, is hardly metabolized in vivo, has 85 to 90 percent of prototype drugs discharged from urine within 6 hours, and has a very high urine concentration.
C15H16N7NaO5S3The challenge presented by pharmaceutical entity compositions lies in C15H16N7NaO5S3Sensitive to environmental factors, easy to generate chemical reaction under the action of light and heat, and generate related substances, cefmetazole polymer and other impurities after being placed for a long time. These impurities are those resulting in C15H16N7NaO5S3The pharmaceutical entity composition causes allergens with immediate-type allergic reactions, which adversely affect the safety of the pharmaceutical use, especially in pediatric applications.
Chinese patent application CN201010100852.X discloses a C15H16N7NaO5S3,C15H16N7NaO5S3Purifying the compound through acid-base reaction, macroporous resin and activated carbon adsorption; however, C15H16N7NaO5S3The total yield is reduced, and simultaneously, after the cefmetazole is absorbed by the macroporous resin, a large amount of solvent is used for elution, the post-treatment is complex, and the production is greatly increasedCost of
Chinese patent application CN20151028029.2 discloses a C for children15H16N7NaO5S3Powder for injection. The pharmaceutical composition has improved C content by freezing15H16N7NaO5S3The solubility of the organic impurities in the extractant reduces the impurity content. However, the above pharmaceutical entity compositions still do not solve C15H16N7NaO5S3Impurities generated by environmental factors after long-term storage and standing.
On the other hand, in recent years, many fat-soluble or water-soluble drugs have been made into novel pharmaceutical entity compositions by various means, including rate-controlled release, directional controlled release, time-controlled release, and symptomatically regulated personalized drug delivery systems. Among them, liposomes are one of the most widely studied novel dosage forms. Practice proves that the liposome has obvious effect on improving the environmental sensitivity of various medicaments. However, with most liposome preparation methods, the encapsulation efficiency of water-soluble drug liposomes is significantly lower than that of fat-soluble drugs. The oil-water distribution coefficient of the water-soluble medicine is greatly influenced by environmental factors, so that the encapsulation is difficult to control; meanwhile, in the encapsulating process, the water-soluble medicine is simultaneously distributed in the internal and external water phases of the liposome, and the volume of the external water phase is usually larger than that of the internal water phase, so that the ideal encapsulating rate is difficult to achieve after the liposome is formed. In addition, the liposome of the water-soluble drug is encapsulated and then reconstituted in the external aqueous phase and the internal aqueous and oil phases, thereby causing the water-soluble drug to leak.
Chinese patent application CN201110026258.5 discloses a C15H16N7NaO5S3A freeze-dried liposome preparation is prepared from cefoxitin sodium, stabilizer, excipient and liposome carrier through mixing, ultrasonic treating, metering volume, sterilizing, packing and freeze drying to obtain C15H16N7NaO5S3A liposome lyophilized preparation. However, the liposomes use sodium chloride as a stabilizer, resulting in a high sodium content. In addition, the method adopts a thin film hydration methodThis results in a low encapsulation efficiency and a high tendency to leak.
Thus, as a water-soluble drug, C15H16N7NaO5S3The challenge of making liposomes is still how to increase their encapsulation efficiency, reduce their leakage rate, and at the same time better control the particle size distribution. In addition, the prepared liposome can solve C15H16N7NaO5S3The problems of impurities after prolonged storage and exposure to environmental factors and the possibility of using them as pediatric pharmaceutical entity compositions are unknown. No discovery of C15H16N7NaO5S3The literature reports the preparation of liposomes.

Application examples 1 to 5 and application comparative examples 1 to 3
Examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were subjected to the following tests.
Encapsulation efficiency test the liposomal pharmaceutical entity compositions of examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-3 and the blank liposomes were diluted to reasonable fold, respectively, using Sephadex-G50 Sephadex column (1.2cm × 22cm), loading 0.5 mL; gradient elution conditions: eluting with 6.0 pH PBS solution at 2.0 mL/min-1The encapsulation efficiency was calculated according to the following formula, encapsulation efficiency (total amount of drug-free drug weight)/total amount of drug × 100%.
Leakage rate test by measuring the encapsulation rate on day 0 and the encapsulation rate on day n at 4 ℃ stored, the leakage rate was calculated according to the following formula (encapsulation rate on day 0-encapsulation rate on day n)/encapsulation rate on day 0 of × 100%.
And (3) particle size testing: the method is carried out by adopting a laser particle size analyzer.
The liposome pharmaceutical entity compositions of examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-3 were taken, added with appropriate amount of solvent to demulsify, and then diluted to appropriate times, and the content of related substances was determined according to the test method of the second part of the Chinese pharmacopoeia 2015, page 280-282.
The results of the relevant tests are shown in tables 1 and 2 below:
TABLE 1 Performance index at day 0
TABLE 2 Performance index at day 10
As can be seen from Table 1, in comparative examples 1 and 3, in which N- (β -D-glucopyranose) decanamide was not added and dodecyl glucoside was added, respectively, the encapsulation efficiency of examples 1 to 5 of the present invention was significantly higher than that of the two in terms of encapsulation efficiency, and D-glucopyranosamide used in the present invention had amphiphilic surface active properties and amide groups in the molecule to react with C15H16N7NaO5S3Produces synergistic effect and greatly improves the penetration phenomenon of the medicine. As can be seen from the combination of the average particle diameters, the D-glucopyranosamide used in the present invention is organically bonded in the same direction as the film-forming substanceTogether, the average particle size is slightly increased, and the permeability of the oil phase outside the double-layer film is improved, so that the encapsulation efficiency is improved. However, if too much D-glucopyranosamide is added, the liposome becomes unstable in the external oil phase and the encapsulation efficiency is remarkably lowered as seen in comparative example 2. In addition, the particle size distribution of the drug substance composition of the present invention is relatively uniform, mainly located between 100 and 250 nm. In addition, the content of related substances meets the national standard.
As can be seen from Table 2, the encapsulation efficiency of the pharmaceutical entity compositions of each of the examples and comparative examples showed a different decrease after 10 days of storage at 4 ℃; however, the leakage rates of the pharmaceutical entity compositions of examples 1-6 of the present invention were all less than 15% compared to those of comparative examples 1-3, while the decrease rates of comparative examples 1-3 were much smaller. Meanwhile, the average particle size and the content of related substances of the pharmaceutical entity composition of each example of the present invention are increased to a smaller extent than those of comparative examples 1 to 3.
The inventors believe that this is because the D-glucopyranosamide used in the present invention has amphiphilic surface active properties and a specific amide group, and is compatible with the film-forming substance and C15H16N7NaO5S3Produces synergistic effect and greatly improves the permeation phenomenon of the medicine, thereby obtaining unexpected effect.

Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
