Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biochemical engineering, and in particular to a trimethoprim hapten and a synthesis method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the material basis for the development of modern breeding industry, veterinary drugs have played an important role in reducing animal morbidity and mortality, promoting animal growth, and improving the quality of animal products. However, the misuse and abuse of veterinary drugs have caused some animal-derived foods to exceed the veterinary drug standards, affecting food quality and thus the health of consumers. Regulatory authorities in various parts of my country have continuously strengthened the monitoring of veterinary drug residues and carried out risk detection.
[0003] As a commonly used antibacterial enhancer, trimethoprim is often used in veterinary clinics to treat diseases such as pullorum, fowl cholera, and secondary respiratory bacterial infections. However, due to the widespread use of trimethoprim and irrational use of the drug, the trimethoprim residues in some animal-derived foods do not meet the national food safety standards. Long-term consumption of foods with excessive trimethoprim residues may cause nausea, vomiting, and other reactions. It may also cause allergic reactions and toxic reactions in the human body, produce drug resistance, and lead to the occurrence of "three hazards" (teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity). For this reason, China and international food committees in Europe and the United States have formulated maximum residue limit standards for trimethoprim in animal-derived foods.
[0004] At present, the main detection methods of trimethoprim include gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. These methods mainly rely on accurate data acquisition and analysis systems, and can perform quantitative analysis, but they require expensive instruments and well-trained professionals, and are not suitable for on-site and rapid detection of large quantities of samples. In recent years, there are more and more methods for detecting residues using bioanalytical techniques. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is one of the most commonly used immunoassay methods, which has the characteristics of high specificity and rapid detection, but its operation steps are cumbersome, time-consuming and requires a spectrophotometer to read the results, making it unsuitable for field detection, on-site detection, import and export port detection and emergency detection such as exceeding the standard. In comparison, colloidal gold immunochromatography can make up for the above shortcomings. The test strips are easy to carry, easy to operate, have low professional requirements for detection personnel, and have a short reaction time. It is suitable for on-site rapid detection of large quantities of samples and has been widely used in the detection of food, biology, environment, pharmaceuticals, clinical medicine and other fields. Therefore, the present invention provides a trimethoprim hapten with a stable structure, and couples the hapten with a carrier protein to prepare a trimethoprim complete antigen. The colloidal gold test strip prepared by the antigen can realize accurate and rapid detection of trimethoprim.
[0005] The patent with application number CN 202110180167.0 discloses a trimethoprim hapten TMPO, artificial antigen, antibody and their preparation methods and applications. This method retains the molecular skeleton structure of trimethoprim, which is more conducive to immune induction. However, a large amount of hydrochloric acid gas is generated during the quenching process with phosphorus oxychloride, which affects the stability of the Boc protecting group, exposes the amino group, and leads to the generation of other uncontrollable impurities during the formation of the hapten, greatly reducing the yield of the trimethoprim hapten. In contrast, the method for preparing the trimethoprim hapten provided by the present invention also retains the molecular skeleton structure of trimethoprim, and the Cbz group has better stability in protecting the amino group and is not easily deprotected during the post-treatment process. When the Cbz group is deprotected by the palladium carbon / hydrogen system, the reaction is cleaner, resulting in a higher yield of the trimethoprim hapten. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Its reaction route is as follows: or
[0026] Example 3: Rapid Detection of Trimethoprim Residue in Milk by Colloidal Gold Immunochromatography I. Preparation of Trimethoprim Colloidal Gold Detection Reagent (1)Preparation of Colloidal Gold Take 1 mL of 1% (mass percentage) chloroauric acid solution, add 99 mL of ultrapure water to prepare a chloroauric acid solution with a final concentration of 0.01% (mass percentage). After heating to boiling, take 1.5 mL of 1% (mass percentage) trisodium citrate and quickly add it to the boiling chloroauric acid solution at one time. Continue heating until the solution changes from light yellow to grayish black and finally to orange red. After the color is stable, continue heating for 5 min, cool to room temperature, and supplement ultrapure water to the original volume.
[0027] (2)Preparation of Colloidal Gold Labeled with Trimethoprim Monoclonal Antibody Adjust the pH value of the colloidal gold solution to 8.0, stir evenly with a constant-speed stirrer, and at the same time add trimethoprim monoclonal antibody drop by drop. The amount of labeled antibody is 1 μg / mL of colloidal gold. After 1 hour, add BSA equivalent to the amount of antibody, fully react for 30 min, then add PEG equivalent to the amount of antibody. After adding, continue stirring for 30 min. Centrifuge at 9000 rpm for 10 min to obtain a homogeneous gold-labeled antibody precipitate, and then resuspend it with PBS for standby to obtain a colloidal gold solution labeled with trimethoprim monoclonal antibody. Dilute this colloidal gold solution by 2 times and spray it on the glass fiber at a spraying amount of 4 μL / cm, dry it at 40 °C and store it for standby. This is the colloidal gold conjugate pad.
[0028] (3)Preparation of Trimethoprim Colloidal Gold Detection Test Strip Spray 1.0 mg / mL trimethoprim-coated antigen solution on the nitrocellulose membrane to form the test line T line, and spray 0.5 mg / mL goat anti-mouse IgG to form the control line C line. The test line and the control line are parallel to each other, and the distance between them is 0.5 cm. Then, on the bottom plate, in the same direction, sequentially lap and adhere the sample pad, the colloidal gold conjugate pad, the nitrocellulose membrane with the test line T line sprayed with trimethoprim-coated antigen and the control line C line sprayed with goat anti-mouse IgG, and the absorbent paper.
[0029] Among them, the test line is close to the colloidal gold conjugate pad and the sample pad, and the control line is close to the absorbent paper. Cut the adhered test strip into test strips of equal width and assemble them into a test card. Seal and dry the test card for storage.
[0030] II. Sample Detection Using competitive immuno-chromatographic technology, qualitatively detect trimethoprim residues in samples. Coat trimethoprim antigen on the test line (T line) of the nitrocellulose membrane, and label the corresponding trimethoprim monoclonal antibody on the colloidal gold. During the detection, when there is no trimethoprim in the sample to be tested, the colloidal gold particles will chromatograph to the test line position and bind to the trimethoprim antigen coated on the membrane, and the T line will show color. When there is trimethoprim in the sample to be tested, it will bind to the gold-labeled specific monoclonal antibody on the conjugate pad to form an immune complex. When the complex chromatographs to the test line position, it will not bind to the trimethoprim-coated antigen on the membrane, and the T line will not show color or the color will become lighter.
[0031] (1) Detection steps: The method is as follows: Take 100 μL of fresh milk and add it to the sample addition hole of the test strip card. After incubating at 20 - 25 °C for 10 minutes, read the result. If both the T line and the C line show purple-red bands and the color of the T line is stronger than that of the C line, the result is negative; if the color of the T line is lighter than that of the C line or the C line shows color while the T line does not show color, the result is positive; if neither the C line nor the T line shows color, the test reagent has expired.
[0032] (2) Sensitivity detection of the trimethoprim colloidal gold test strip card: Perform spiking experiments on negative milk to a final concentration of 5, 10, 15, 20 μg / kg respectively. The results are as Figure 3 shown. The sensitivity of the trimethoprim colloidal gold test strip card in the present invention can reach 10 μg / kg, and the CV value is less than 15%.
[0033] (3) Specificity detection of the trimethoprim colloidal gold test strip card: Add drugs such as 500 μg / kg trimethoprim, sulfadiazine, tetracycline, streptomycin, gentamicin, and amoxicillin to negative fresh milk respectively to verify the specificity of the test strip card. The specific detection results are shown in Figure 4 . The detection results are all negative except for trimethoprim, indicating that trimethoprim has excellent specificity and no cross-reaction with the above added drugs.
[0034] (4) Product stability experiment Accelerate the test of the trimethoprim colloidal gold product in the present invention at 4 °C and 37 °C respectively. Detect the trimethoprim standard product at 10 µg / kg at 0 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 30 d respectively to evaluate the stability performance of the product. The results are shown in Table 1. When aging to 30 days, the trimethoprim colloidal gold detection products at 4 °C and 37 °C still have good sensitivity when detecting the 10 μg / kg standard product, with no obvious difference from the detection results on the first day, and the CVs are all <10%, indicating that the test strip card provided by the present invention has good stability.
[0035] Table 1 Stability of the trimethoprim colloidal gold test strip card
[0036] In summary, the colloidal gold test strip of the present invention has the characteristics of high sensitivity, strong specificity and good stability, and can be applied to the rapid detection of trimethoprim in fresh milk.
