Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to make up the defects of the prior art and provide a method for effectively determining the anisidine value of the alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsion with feasible operation, thereby eliminating the interference of sugar serving as a freeze-drying protective agent, completely extracting an oil phase and effectively controlling the product quality.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a method for measuring the anisidine value of an alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsion comprises the following steps:
(1) carrying out multiple emulsion treatment on the alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsion to obtain multiple emulsion, taking the multiple emulsion, and then adding anhydrous ethanol and alkali metal salt into the taken multiple emulsion to carry out emulsion breaking;
(2) adding anhydrous ether for extraction, collecting ether phase, and then adding water to wash residual sugar and alkali metal salt in the ether phase to obtain ether phase and water phase;
(3) evaporating the ether phase under vacuum at 40 deg.C to obtain residue I;
(4) dissolving the residue I with anhydrous ethanol, and vacuum rotary evaporating to remove anhydrous ethanol at below 60 deg.C to obtain residue II as test sample for determining anisidine value.
The determination method is suitable for various formulations of alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsions, and is particularly suitable for removing the interference of freeze-drying protective agent sugar contained in the alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsions. In general, an emulsifier (e.g., egg yolk lecithin, soybean lecithin, etc.), a sugar (e.g., sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, trehalose, etc.) as a lyoprotectant, an oil for injection (e.g., soybean oil, medium chain triglyceride, medium chain diglyceride, medium chain monoglyceride, olive oil, etc.), and the like may be included in the fat emulsion. The emulsifier in the fat emulsion has strong emulsibility, and the alkali metal salt (such as potassium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate and the like) is used as a good demulsifier, so that the balance of the emulsion can be destroyed, and the sample can be prevented from emulsifying in the extraction process; because the alprostadil freeze-dried lipid emulsion after the multiple emulsion belongs to O/W type emulsion, the water layer on the outer layer of the emulsion can be properly destroyed by adding a proper amount of absolute ethyl alcohol, so that the oil layer is exposed, and the extraction of the oil phase in the emulsion by ethyl ether is facilitated. Because the boiling point of the ether is low, the sugar is not dissolved in the ether, the grease is dissolved in the ether but not dissolved in the ether, and the water is slightly dissolved in the ether, the anhydrous ether is adopted as the extractant, so that the extraction solvent can be quickly removed, the oil phase and the freeze-drying protective agent can be effectively separated, and new water can be prevented from being brought into the extractant; during the extraction process, a small amount of water remained in the oil phase can be removed by rotary evaporation after the residue I is dissolved by absolute ethyl alcohol.

(a) dissolving the residue II with isopropanol-isooctane mixed solvent at volume ratio of 2: 8 to obtain sample solution I, and measuring absorbance value A at 350nm wavelength by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry with isopropanol-isooctane mixed solvent at volume ratio of 2: 8 as blank control 0 ;
