Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical analysis methods, and particularly relates to an in vitro transdermal detection method for prilocaine cream. Background Art
[0002] Prilocaine cream is a commonly used topical anesthetic preparation on the skin surface in clinical practice. Lidocaine and prilocaine in this cream can penetrate the skin to reach the dermis layer, accumulate at the pain receptors and nerve endings in the dermis layer, and stabilize the nerve cell membrane by inhibiting the ion flow required for the generation and transmission of nerve impulses, thereby producing a local anesthetic effect. Prilocaine cream is commonly used in clinical practice for analgesia during intravenous puncture, intravenous cannulation, and various minor surgical operations, especially suitable for pediatric patients.
[0003] Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that when prilocaine cream is applied to intact skin, approximately 5% - 10% of lidocaine and prilocaine are absorbed, and the maximum plasma drug concentration (0.1 - 0.2 μg / mL) is below the toxic concentration (5 μg / mL), indicating that this drug can penetrate the skin into the blood circulation to a certain extent.
[0004] According to the relevant guidelines for reference in in vitro transdermal tests in the "Technical Guidelines for the Research of Topical Chemical Generic Drugs" trial version, the established in vitro transdermal test method needs to be correspondingly verified, mainly for the investigation of the sensitivity and selectivity of the transdermal method. Existing detection methods mainly use high-performance liquid chromatography to detect the collected transdermal samples and analyze the transdermal effect, but the detection time is long, all above 12 minutes, the detection efficiency is low, when dealing with a large number of samples, the detection cycle is long, the detection results between batches are prone to errors, the solvent usage is large, and the detection cost is high.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a transdermal substance detection method with exclusive detectability for lidocaine and prilocaine, high accuracy, high detection sensitivity and high detection efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects in the existing transdermal sample detection methods such as long detection time and low detection efficiency, and provide an in vitro transdermal detection method for prilocaine cream. When the in vitro transdermal detection method adopted in this application is used to detect lidocaine and prilocaine, the detection can be completed within 3.5 minutes. The detection time is at least reduced by 2 / 3 compared with the existing method, significantly increasing the detection efficiency, reducing the solvent consumption, lowering the detection cost, and being applicable to high-throughput detection, meeting the detection requirements of a large number of samples and reducing the detection error between batches.

[0095] Example 1
[0096] 1. Skin Treatment
[0097] Porcine skin from Bama mini-pigs (one-month-old) was used for the transdermal experiment. It was stored frozen in a -20°C refrigerator for later use, ensuring it was used within 2 months. Before use, the whole piece of Bama mini-pig skin was placed in physiological saline and thawed at room temperature. Then, it was cut successively from the back line of the pig skin downwards towards the abdomen, and the skin was cut into round pieces with a diameter of about 3 cm and placed in physiological saline for standby. Note that adjacent skin was evenly divided into each group of preparations to ensure the consistency of the skin among the preparations.
[0098] 2. Transdermal Experiment Conditions
[0099] After the treated skin was placed on a clean absorbent paper to blot the surface moisture, the stratum corneum side was facing up, and a dosing ring was placed in the center of the skin to fix it. The fixed skin and dosing ring were placed on a balance to weigh, and the weight before drug application was printed. A certain amount of the test cream was extruded onto the center of the skin, and a degreased cotton swab wrapped with plastic wrap was used to gently spread the cream evenly. Then, it was placed on the balance to weigh, and the weight after drug application was printed. The difference between the two weighings was the amount of drug applied (the amount of drug applied was about 0.27 g). Three groups were set up in parallel for each test cream.
[0100] After drug application, the drug-containing skin was installed on the transdermal device, with the drug-containing layer facing up towards the supply pool and the non-drug-containing layer facing down towards the receiving pool. The receiving pool was a Franz diffusion cell with a volume of 12 mL and a diameter of 1.5 cm. The receiving pool was filled with degassed transdermal medium, which was a 0.9% (mass percentage) sodium chloride aqueous solution (physiological saline). The temperature of the transdermal medium was 32°C, and an electromagnetic stirrer was turned on for continuous stirring at a speed of 600 rpm.

The collected receiving solutions were stored at 5 °C for subsequent treatment and determination, and the experiment was terminated at 6 h.
[0104] 3.2 Collection of the collected solution
[0105] After the transdermal experiment was completed, the remaining cream on the skin surface was observed. The skin surface was gently scraped with a small spoon, and the remaining cream on the skin surface was scraped as clean as possible into a beaker. Then, 1 mL of a 50% methanol aqueous solution by volume was pipetted into the supply pool with a 1 mL pipette gun, and the skin surface was gently scraped with a small spoon to dissolve the remaining cream on the skin surface in the 50% methanol aqueous solution as much as possible. The washing solution was transferred to the above beaker, and the above operation was repeated 4 times. The skin was removed, and the skin was rinsed with a small amount of the 50% methanol aqueous solution by volume several times with a total volume of 4 mL. The rinsing solution was placed in the above beaker. The solution in the beaker was transferred to a 50 mL volumetric flask. The supply pool was placed in the above beaker, and the beaker was washed with a small amount of the 50% methanol aqueous solution by volume several times and the washing solution was collected into the above volumetric flask. Then, it was made up to the mark with the 50% methanol aqueous solution by volume, sonicated for 10 min, and filtered through a 0.8 μm nylon syringe filter to obtain the collected solution.
[0106] 3.3 Collection of the extract
[0107] After the operation of "3.2 Collection of the collected solution", the residual solvent on the skin surface was blotted dry with filter paper. The skin around the periphery that did not directly contact the cream was cut off with scissors, and only the skin with an area equivalent to the orifice of the pool (i.e., 1.77 cm 2 ) was retained. The skin was cut into pieces with scissors and placed in a cryogenic grinder. The cryogenic grinding cup was placed in liquid nitrogen and frozen for 1 h. After taking it out, it was ground into powder. The powder was mixed with 25 mL of methanol, sonicated for 5 min, shaken well, and sonicated for another 5 min to obtain the extract.

[0169] Effect Example 2 Standard Curve and Quantitative Range
[0170] The standard curve samples are freshly prepared every day. Using a method similar to that in Effect Example 1, dilute the lidocaine stock solution or prilocaine stock solution to prepare standard curve working solutions with different concentrations. Respectively take 10.00 μL of the corresponding standard curve working solution, add 190.0 μL of blank matrix for dilution, and mix to obtain the standard curve samples. The concentrations of the standard curve samples of lidocaine and prilocaine are respectively:
[0171] Receiving solution: 0.05000, 0.1000, 0.2000, 0.5000, 2.000, 10.00, 20.00, 50.00 μg / mL;

[0202] According to the above results, the R values of all standard curves 2 are all greater than 0.99, meeting the requirements. The standard curve samples were back-calculated, and the results showed that the accuracy deviation between the back-calculated concentration and the theoretical concentration of lidocaine and prilocaine samples in the standard curves of the receiving solution, extraction solution, and collection solution was between -2.42% and 2.28%, and all data met the standard within ±15.00%. The accuracy deviation between the back-calculated concentration of the lower limit of quantification and the theoretical concentration was between -1.3% and 0.52%, and all data met the standard within ±20.00%. It can be seen that the linear relationship of the standard curve is good, ensuring high accuracy of the results analyzed using this standard curve. It can be seen that the linear relationship of the standard curve is good, ensuring high accuracy of the results analyzed using this standard curve.
[0203] Precision / Accuracy within / between batches in Effect Example 3
[0204] The quality control samples were freshly prepared every day. 10.00 μL of the corresponding quality control working solution was taken and diluted with 190.0 μL of blank matrix (the preparation method is referred to Effect Example 1), and then mixed. The quality control concentrations of lidocaine and prilocaine were respectively:
[0205] Receiving solution: 0.05000 (LLOQ QC), 0.1500 (LQC), 1.500 (MQC), 37.50 μg / mL (HQC); DQC: 200.0 μg / mL;
[0206] Extract: 0.2000 (LLOQQC), 0.6000 (LQC), 4.000 (MQC), 37.50 μg / mL-l (HQC); DQC: 200.0 μg / mL;
[0207] Collection solution: 2.000 (LLOQQC), 5.000 (LQC), 15.00 (MQC), 30.00 μg / mL (HQC).
[0208] The precision / accuracy verification was passed through 3 verification batches and completed in at least two days. The three batches of samples included analytical QC samples from four concentrations of LLOQQC, LQC, MQC, and HQC. Six parallel samples were analyzed for each concentration. The above samples were pretreated by the method of "Preparation of 4 test solutions" in Example 1 above to obtain test solutions, and then the above test solutions were detected by the method of "5 High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Detection Method" in Example 1 above. The within-batch precision (%CV), between-batch precision (%CV) and accuracy deviation (%RE) were calculated, and the results are shown in Table 9.
[0209] Table 9
[0210]
[0211]
[0212] Acceptance criteria: For the QC samples at each concentration level within and between batches, at least 2 / 3 of the QC samples and at least 50% of the samples at each concentration level should have a %RE not exceeding ±15.00% (the %RE of the LLOQ QC samples should not exceed ±20.00%). The average within-batch / between-batch %RE of the QC samples at each concentration level should not exceed ±15.00% (LLOQ should not exceed ±20.00%), and the %CV should ≤15.00% (LLOQ should ≤20.00%).
[0213] In addition, when analyzing batches other than the analytical accuracy and precision analysis batches, the acceptance criteria are: the %RE of the QC samples should not exceed ±15.00%. In each analytical batch, at least 2 / 3 of the QC samples and at least 50% of the samples at each concentration level need to meet the acceptance criteria.
[0214] According to the above results, all results meet the above standards. It can be seen that the detection method of the present application has ideal precision and accuracy.
[0215] Effect Example 4 Residual Analysis
[0216] A total of three batches of samples were made, and the blank matrix after the two highest calibration curve points in each analytical batch was used for evaluation.
[0217] Acceptance criteria: The average peak area in the residual sample does not exceed 20.00% of the average peak area at the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), and does not exceed 5.00% of the average internal standard peak area within the LLOQ.
[0218] The results showed that the residual percentages of lidocaine and prilocaine were 0% and ≤0.11% respectively, and the residual percentages of the corresponding internal standards were both 0%, meeting the above criteria.
[0219] Screening of the receiving solution in Effect Example 5
[0220] Principle for screening the types of receiving solutions: Related to the drug solubility and the stability of the drug in solution, meeting the requirements of the sink condition test (in vivo, after the drug penetrates through the skin, it can be quickly transferred by the microcirculation to form a sink condition). The sink condition is generally examined according to the receiving solution concentration not exceeding 10% - 30% of the maximum solubility of the analyte.
[0221] The transdermal test was carried out using the method of Example 1 above. The concentrations of lidocaine and prilocaine in the receiving solution at each time point were measured. Six groups were tested in parallel, and the percentage of the permeation amount at each time point to the saturated solubility was calculated to evaluate whether the receiving solution met the sink condition. The results are shown in Table 10 below. Among them, the saturated solubility of lidocaine was 2.806 ± 0.106 mg / mL; the saturated solubility of prilocaine was 4.781 ± 0.069 mg / mL.
[0222] Table 10
[0223]
[0224] The results of the investigation on the transdermal selectivity sensitivity showed that the maximum concentration of lidocaine in the receiving solution was 9.825 μg / mL, accounting for 0.35% of the saturated solubility of normal saline (calculated as 2.806 mg / mL); the maximum concentration of prilocaine was 12.67 μg / mL, accounting for 0.27% of the saturated solubility of normal saline (calculated as 4.781 mg / mL). The receiving solution concentration that meets the sink condition does not exceed the requirement of 10% - 30% of the maximum solubility of the analyte. Therefore, it is feasible to select normal saline as the receiving solution method.
[0225] Effect Example 6 Investigation on the adsorption of the filter
[0226] The cream collecting solution was determined to be 50% aqueous methanol solution. Therefore, a solution containing 2.000 μg / mL of lidocaine and prilocaine each was prepared with 50% aqueous methanol solution to investigate the adsorption of the nylon syringe filter on the solution. 4 mL was aspirated into a syringe and filtered through a nylon syringe filter (0.8 μm). The filtrate was collected once every 1 mL pushed and injected into a 1.5 mL EP tube. The peak area ratio was used as the investigation index. The results are shown in Table 11.
[0227] Table 11
[0228]
[0229] It can be seen from the change results of the peak area ratio of the 1st - 4th mL continuous filtrate that the nylon syringe filter (0.8μm) has no adsorption on lidocaine and prilocaine solutions prepared with 50% methanol aqueous solution.
[0230] Taking all into consideration, the nylon syringe filter has no effect on lidocaine and prilocaine solutions.
[0231] Feasibility verification of the extraction method of drugs in skin in Effect Example 7
[0232] Three blank skins with a diameter of 1.5 cm were respectively placed in three 5 - mL EP tubes. 2 mL of normal saline solution containing 50 μg / mL of lidocaine and prilocaine each was added to each EP tube, and another control solution was placed at room temperature (without skin).
[0233] After 24 h, the skins were taken out, the solutions on the skins were dried with filter paper, the dried skins were cut into pieces, placed in a grinding cup, frozen in liquid nitrogen for 1 h and then ground into powder. The skins were transferred to a 50 - mL EP tube with 15 mL of methanol in small amounts multiple times, sonicated for 10 min, and the extract and the remaining solution were collected. The method of "4.3 Preparation of the test solution of the extract" in Example 1 above was used to prepare the test solution, and the method of "5 High - performance liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry" in Example 1 was used to detect the contents of lidocaine and prilocaine in the test solution, and the recovery rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 12.
[0234] Table 12
[0235]
[0236] It can be known from the above results that the extraction method adopted in this application is feasible, has a high recovery rate, and good repeatability.
[0237] Investigation of the selectivity and sensitivity of the in vitro transdermal method in Effect Example 8
[0238] The purpose of this experiment is to compare the differences in the permeation behaviors of lidocaine and prilocaine in the excised skin among the negative control preparation (T1), the test preparation (T2) and the reference preparation (R), and to investigate the selectivity and sensitivity of the transdermal test method.
[0239] The reference preparation (R) is prilocaine and lidocaine cream purchased from Aspen Pharma Trading Limited, containing 20 mg of lidocaine and prilocaine per 1 g. The negative control preparation (T1) is self-made prilocaine and lidocaine cream, containing 2.5 mg of lidocaine and prilocaine, 19 mg of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil-54, 10 mg of carbomer homopolymer type B, 5.2 mg of sodium hydroxide and the balance of water per 1 g. The test preparation (T2) is self-made prilocaine and lidocaine cream, containing 25 mg of lidocaine and prilocaine, 19 mg of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil-54, 10 mg of carbomer homopolymer type B, 5.2 mg of sodium hydroxide and the balance of water per 1 g.
[0240] The negative control preparation, the test preparation and the reference preparation were alternately administered on a continuous diffusion cell to control the consistency of test conditions between groups.
[0241] ① Grouping: One batch each of the negative control preparation (T1), the test preparation (T2) and the reference preparation (R), with 6 cups in parallel for each group. Cups numbered 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 contained the T1 preparation, cups numbered 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 contained the T2 preparation, and cups numbered 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 contained the R preparation.
[0242] ② Skin allocation: Adjacent skin was evenly allocated to different preparations in turn to ensure the uniformity of skin between groups as much as possible.
[0243] Medication application method: To ensure the consistency of the contact time of the cream with the skin and the sampling interval, a cross-medication application method was used. After applying 1 cup of the negative control preparation, 1 cup of the test preparation and the reference preparation were applied in the same medication application method.
[0244] Cream content test: Weigh about 0.27 g of the cream into a 10 mL EP tube, wash the EP tube with 5 mL of 50% methanol water each time, place the washing solution in a 50 mL volumetric flask, after washing 4 times, make up the volume with 50% methanol aqueous solution by volume percentage, ultrasonicate for 5 min, filter with a 0.8 μm nylon needle filter to obtain the sample. Refer to the method in Example 1 above to obtain the test solution and test the contents of lidocaine and prilocaine in each test solution.
[0245] Results:
[0246] (1) Cumulative permeation amount
[0247] The data of the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the negative control preparation (T1) of prilocaine and lidocaine cream, the test preparation (T2) of prilocaine and lidocaine cream and the reference preparation (R) of prilocaine and lidocaine cream are shown in Table 13, Figure 1 and Figure 2, The cumulative permeation amounts of lidocaine T1, R and T2 at 6 h were: 81.65±34.55, 206.7±77.8, 221.7±94.9 μg / cm respectively. The cumulative permeation amounts of prilocaine T1, R and T2 at 6 h were: 84.41±35.67, 255.9±97.2, 277.5±123.4 μg / cm respectively.
[0248] Table 13
[0249]
[0250] (2) Permeation rate
[0251] Using the average cumulative permeation amount per unit area (Q) as the ordinate and time (t) as the abscissa, the percutaneous permeation curve was plotted. The Q~t data were linearly regressed, and the slope of the straight line obtained was the permeation rate J (μg / cm 2 ), and the lag time Tg (h) was calculated by dividing the intercept by the slope. The results are shown in Table 14, Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
[0252] Table 14
[0253]
[0254] For lidocaine and prilocaine, within the specified test time (6 h), the ratios of the average permeation rates of the negative control preparation T1 to the reference preparation R and the negative control preparation T1 to the test preparation T2 were not within the range of 0.7 to 1.3. The permeation rates of the negative control preparation T1 were lower than those of the reference preparation R and the test preparation T2.
[0255] The permeation rate of each actual segment was calculated using J = Cn*V / S / Δt, where Cn was the measured concentration of the nth sample, V was the volume of the solution in the receiving cell, S was the effective permeation area, and Δt was the sampling time interval between adjacent time points. The permeation rate curve was plotted with the permeation rate (J) as the ordinate and time (t) as the abscissa. The results are shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 .
[0256] (3) Skin retention amount
[0257] The skin retention amount results of the lidocaine and prilocaine cream of T1, R and T2 are shown in Table 15 below, Figure 5 and Figure 6 as follows:
[0258] Table 15
[0259]
[0260]
[0261] From the results of the skin retention amount per unit mass, it can be seen that compared with the normal specification preparation (T2) and the reference preparation (R), the retention amount of the low specification preparation (T) is significantly lower.
[0262] In summary, when the dose is reduced, the permeation amount, permeation rate and skin retention amount of lidocaine and prilocaine are all low. Therefore, it can be shown that this method has selective sensitivity.
[0263] (4) Material balance
[0264] From the detection and calculation results, it can be known that the recovery rates of lidocaine in each preparation are T1 (102.4 ± 1.7%), T2 (99.1 ± 1.6%), R (98.6 ± 2.5%) respectively, and the recovery rates of prilocaine are T1 (101.8 ± 1.9%), T2 (105.1 ± 2.0%), R (102.5 ± 3.5%) respectively. The materials of each preparation are basically balanced, indicating that the drugs in the skin are fully extracted. The extraction method of this application is feasible, and the drug determination results of each part (remaining preparation, receiving solution and skin retention amount) are accurate and reliable.
