Description

Method for detecting lanthanum carbonate or lanthanum hydroxycarbonate impurity in preparation thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of analytical chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for analyzing and detecting impurities in lanthanum carbonate hydroxide by using a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) method, and more particularly relates to a method for analyzing and detecting impurities in lanthanum carbonate or lanthanum carbonate hydroxide in a preparation thereof.
Technical Field
Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), especially end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), and is seen in 80% of dialysis patients. Current treatment for hyperphosphatemia is mainly limited in phosphorus intake, extensive dialysis, use of phosphorus binders and, if necessary, parathyroidectomy plus autografting.
The traditional phosphorus binding agent is mainly an aluminum-containing calcium-containing phosphorus binding agent, and the traditional aluminum salt of the phosphorus binding agent can cause toxic and side effects of resisting aluminum accumulation such as erythropoiesis-stimulating hormone anemia, aluminum-related osteodystrophy, central nervous system damage and the like; calcium salts increase the risk of hypercalcemia, which can lead to calcification of soft tissues such as the cardiovascular system and low-turnover bone disease, resulting in accelerated renal dysfunction.
Lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol) was developed by charle (shire) of england as a novel non-aluminum, non-calcium phosphorus binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. It is now marketed in more than 20 countries throughout the world, including the united states, uk, france, germany, japan, canada, switzerland, etc. The Chinese approved imported lanthanum carbonate chewable tablets (trade name: Foster) of summer corporation in 2/10/2012. Lanthanum trivalent cation has strong affinity with phosphorus, lanthanum carbonate releases trivalent lanthanum ion after entering the digestive tract through oral administration, and the trivalent lanthanum ion is combined with the phosphorus to form insoluble lanthanum salt which is not easy to be absorbed by the digestive tract, and lanthanum does not influence the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Lanthanum carbonate is hardly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and accumulates in the tissues of the body. Lanthanum carbonate is currently the best selective new drug for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in renal disease.
the molecular formula of lanthanum carbonate is La2(CO3)3·XH2O (X represents 4-5 mol), and the molecular weight of the anhydride is 457.8.
In order to ensure the safety of medication, the research on potential degradation impurities in the medicine is required in the current new medicine development guiding principles of various countries and international organizations. Lanthanum carbonate under damp heat conditionThen impurities of alkali lanthanum carbonate I and alkali lanthanum carbonate II are formed by decarboxylation, and the molecular formulas are La (CO)3) OH, their binding to phosphorus is different, so the therapeutic effect is also different. The existing technologies for researching drug impurities (including chromatographic technology and spectroscopic technology) basically require that a drug and impurities thereof are dissolved in a proper solvent, lanthanum carbonate and lanthanum carbonate hydroxide for degrading the impurities thereof are not dissolved in various solvents except acid, lanthanum carbonate and lanthanum carbonate hydroxide in an acid solvent are dissociated into lanthanum ions, and the lanthanum carbonate hydroxide as impurities thereof cannot be distinguished.
The patent (CN101484798) applied by xiaer international licensing limited company adopts powder X-ray diffraction method to detect lanthanum carbonate hydroxide by Rietveld refining full spectrum fitting method, but the precondition of Rietveld refining is that the crystal structure parameters of each phase must be known, and the patent does not disclose the crystal structure parameters of each phase, so the invention can not be implemented by the skilled person through the patent, and the patent application is regarded as withdrawn, and the patent application does not really solve the quantitative analysis and detection of the lanthanum carbonate impurity in the lanthanum carbonate raw material or the preparation thereof. In addition, Rietveld refinement is time-consuming and tedious, and the impurity content of lanthanum carbonate or the lanthanum hydroxycarbonate in the preparation thereof cannot be detected quickly and simply. In addition to this patent application and its foreign family patents, there is no other method for detecting and analyzing lanthanum carbonate impurities in lanthanum carbonate raw materials and preparations so far. With the increasingly deep research and development work of lanthanum carbonate and preparations thereof, in order to ensure the drug safety of the products to the public after the products are finally marketed, a simple, convenient, rapid and accurate detection method for detecting lanthanum carbonate raw materials and lanthanum carbonate basic impurities in the preparations thereof is urgently needed to be developed.
