BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , a method for preparing a heparin sodium composition, comprising the following steps: Step 1. Raw material selection: The main raw materials are medical-grade yeast cell wall polysaccharide and aloe polysaccharide to ensure reducing the interference of impurities on the subsequent preparation process from the source. The auxiliary materials are pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride (USP standard) and pharmaceutical-grade ethanol (≥99.8%) to ensure the high quality of the reagents and avoid introducing additional impurities; Step 2. Raw material pretreatment: The medical-grade yeast cell wall polysaccharide and aloe polysaccharide are respectively pulverized, centrifuged, and purified; Step 3. Enzymatic hydrolysis optimization process: React in a continuous reaction vessel with immobilized heparinase. After setting the enzymatic hydrolysis parameters, add a stabilizer and simultaneously introduce nitrogen to protect the structure of heparin sodium; Step 4. Purification and enhancement process: The reacted solution is purified by a combination of anion exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography to obtain a heparin sodium solution. By combining the advantages of the two techniques, it can not only improve the purity but also retain the activity of heparin sodium, meeting the requirements of high-quality production. It can efficiently and stably prepare high-purity heparin sodium, while also avoiding the problems of structural damage and impurity residues in traditional processes, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production; Step 5. Crystallization optimization: The heparin sodium solution is subjected to crystallization optimization by the stepwise alcohol precipitation method. Dynamic crystallization control is achieved by controlling the cooling rate to obtain high-purity heparin sodium crystals. A heparin sodium composition is obtained by adding pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride in a vaporization manner; The specific operation of vaporization is as follows: Place the pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride in a vaporization device, set the heating temperature of the device to 300 - 400 °C to vaporize the sodium chloride, and then pass the generated sodium chloride vapor through a high-temperature glass tube and slowly introduce it into the reaction vessel containing heparin sodium crystals.

Equipment optimization: All the equipment used in the preparation process has automated monitoring and regulation functions, which can real-time feedback various process parameters, ensuring the stability and repeatability of the preparation process and reducing the impact of human operation errors on product quality; Advantages: All the equipment used in the entire preparation process has automated monitoring and regulation functions, which can real-time feedback various process parameters, ensuring the stability and repeatability of the preparation process and reducing the impact of human operation errors on product quality, improving the consistency of production efficiency and product quality. High-precision sensors are installed at key parts of the equipment, such as the reaction vessel and chromatography column, which helps to accurately monitor temperature, pressure, and flow rate parameters. When the parameters show abnormal fluctuations, the equipment can automatically adjust or issue an alarm, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the preparation process.
[0021] Specifically, the pretreatment process of medical-grade yeast cell wall polysaccharide in Step 2: Put the medical-grade yeast cell wall polysaccharide into a crusher and crush it to 100 - 120 mesh to increase the specific surface area and create favorable conditions for subsequent reactions. Transfer the crushed yeast cell wall polysaccharide to a centrifuge tube, add deionized water with a volume 80% of that of the yeast cell wall polysaccharide, and gently shake to preliminarily disperse the polysaccharide. Set the rotation speed to 8000 - 9000 r / min and the centrifugation duration to 10 - 12 min to remove incompletely crushed large particle impurities and insoluble substances with a relatively high density. Use column chromatography for purification, with deionized water as the eluent, control the elution flow rate between 1 - 2 ml / min, pass the centrifuged yeast cell wall polysaccharide solution through a Sephadex G-50 column, load the sample slowly, and finally collect the eluent containing high-purity yeast cell wall polysaccharide based on the difference in retention time of the polysaccharide and impurities in the gel column.
[0022] Specifically, the pretreatment process of medical-grade aloe polysaccharide: Since aloe polysaccharide is soft in texture and may contain moisture, a low-temperature crusher is selected for processing. During the crushing process, with the help of liquid nitrogen refrigeration, put the medical-grade aloe polysaccharide into the low-temperature crusher, control the temperature below 0 °C to prevent the polysaccharide from degrading due to temperature rise, crush the aloe polysaccharide to 80 - 100 mesh, put the crushed aloe polysaccharide into a centrifuge tube, add deionized water with a volume 65% of that of the aloe polysaccharide to make it disperse evenly, place the centrifuge tube in a high-speed centrifuge, set the rotation speed to 9000 - 10000 r / min, and set the centrifugation duration to 12 - 15 min to remove insoluble impurities. Finally, use ultrafiltration technology for purification. Under a pressure of 0.1 - 0.15 MPa, ultrafilter the centrifuged aloe polysaccharide solution to remove impurities and salts with a relatively small molecular weight, and finally obtain a high-purity aloe polysaccharide solution.
[0023] Specifically, after the pretreatment of medical-grade yeast cell wall polysaccharide and aloe polysaccharide, mix them in a ratio of 6:5 to obtain a crude heparin extract.
[0024] Specifically, the enzymatic hydrolysis optimization process in Step 3: S3.1. Set the enzymatic hydrolysis parameters: Add the crude heparin extract to a continuous reaction vessel with immobilized heparinase, set the pH of the enzymatic hydrolysis parameters to 6.9 ± 0.1, the temperature to 7 - 9 °C, and control the flow rate between 2.5 - 3 L / min; S3.2. Real-time monitoring: Real-time monitor the molecular weight distribution through on-line HPLC in the reaction vessel, with the target range being 14 - 15 kDa, so as to ensure that the reaction proceeds in the expected direction and precisely control the molecular structure of heparin sodium; S3.3. Protection Structure: Add a composite stabilizer of 0.1 mM EDTA + 0.05% sodium thiosulfate by mass percentage in the reaction vessel. During the reaction process, introduce nitrogen with a purity greater than 99.99% to protect the internal environment of the reaction vessel. The composite stabilizer of EDTA and sodium thiosulfate and nitrogen can protect the structural integrity of heparin sodium to the greatest extent and avoid structural damage caused by oxidation and other factors during the enzymatic hydrolysis process.
[0025] Specifically, for anion exchange chromatography in Step 4: Select DEAE cellulose to preliminarily purify heparin sodium. By adjusting the pH value and ionic strength of the solution, negatively charged heparin sodium binds to the exchanger and is eluted with a linear gradient of 0.5→2.0 M NaCl. Based on the difference in charges carried by heparin sodium and other impurities, heparin sodium is adsorbed through electrostatic interaction. Under the elution of sodium chloride solutions with different concentrations, the effective separation of heparin sodium from impurities is achieved, improving the product purity.
[0026] Specifically, for gel permeation chromatography in Step 4: Further pass the reaction solution of anion exchange chromatography through gel permeation chromatography to remove small molecule impurities and residual buffer components, and improve the purity of heparin sodium.
[0027] Specifically, for the crystallization optimization process in Step 5: S5.1. Reagent Preparation: Prepare ethanol reagents with concentrations of 38% - 40% and 72% - 75%, ensuring that the purity and concentration of the ethanol reagents meet the experimental requirements, providing a suitable precipitant for the subsequent precipitation step; S5.2. Reactor Preparation: Perform a staged precipitation operation on the heparin sodium solution, and prepare two groups of reaction vessels, A and B. Place the heparin sodium solution in reaction vessel A. This method facilitates subsequent operations for different components, namely the preliminary precipitation of miscellaneous proteins and the precipitation of heparin sodium, greatly improving the accuracy of separation; S5.3. The First Stage: Gradually add the ethanol reagent with a concentration of 38% - 40% dropwise to reaction vessel A while turning on the low-speed stirring device, set the stirring speed at 60 - 80 r / min. When the initial temperature is 45 - 50 °C, ensure that the ethanol can be evenly dispersed in the solution. Use a temperature control device to gradually reduce the solution temperature at a rate of 0.4 - 0.5 °C / min for a cooling duration of 10 - 15 min. Finally, preliminarily precipitate the miscellaneous proteins at the bottom of reaction vessel A. During this process, the miscellaneous proteins will gradually aggregate due to changes in solubility, and slow cooling promotes the orderly aggregation and precipitation of the miscellaneous proteins to improve the effect and purity of the miscellaneous protein precipitation; S5.4, Second Stage: Transfer the heparin sodium solution on the upper layer of the A reaction vessel to the B reaction vessel, add ethanol reagent with a concentration of 72% - 75%, start low-speed stirring, maintain the rotation speed between 50 - 80 r / min to ensure that the ethanol can be evenly dispersed in the solution, and gradually cool down at a rate of 0.4 - 0.5 °C / min. The ethanol at this concentration and the slow cooling condition can promote the orderly arrangement of heparin sodium molecules, crystallize out, and finally form high-quality crystals; S5.5, Centrifugation: Centrifuge the mixed solution after precipitation in the second stage. Select a high-speed centrifuge, set the rotation speed at 7000 - 8000 r / min, and the centrifugation duration at 15 - 20 min. With the help of centrifugal force, quickly separate the precipitate from the supernatant and collect the precipitate part; S5.6, Washing: Wash the collected precipitate with absolute ethanol 2 - 4 times. Stir with a glass rod each time during washing to ensure that the impurities and solvents remaining on the surface of the precipitate are fully removed; S5.7, Drying: After washing, transfer the precipitate to a vacuum drying oven, set the temperature between 40 - 50 °C, maintain the vacuum degree between -0.08 to -0.5 MPa, and the drying duration at 5 - 6 h. After vacuum drying, thoroughly remove the residual moisture and finally obtain high-purity heparin sodium crystals; Advantages: Through this fractional precipitation method, it helps to achieve dynamic crystallization control, effectively separate impurity proteins and purified heparin sodium, improve the crystallization purity and yield. Throughout the process, by precisely controlling the ethanol concentration, stirring speed, cooling rate, and subsequent centrifugation, washing, and drying conditions, ensure the high quality and stability of the heparin sodium product.
[0028] Specifically, equipment optimization in step six: Install sensors on both the reaction vessel and the chromatography column to monitor temperature, pressure, and flow rate parameters in real time. When abnormal fluctuations in the parameters are detected, the equipment can automatically adjust or issue an alarm to ensure the smooth progress of the preparation process. The specific abnormal situations and handling measures are as follows: (1) When abnormal temperature fluctuations occur, the control system of the equipment will automatically start the heating or cooling device for adjustment. If the temperature is lower than the set value, the heater can be automatically turned on to gradually increase the temperature at the set power until it reaches the preset temperature range; if the temperature is too high, start the cooling circulation system to lower the temperature through cooling water or refrigerant; (2) When the pressure exceeds the set upper limit, the control system of the equipment will automatically open the pressure relief valve to reduce the pressure; if the pressure is lower than the lower limit, restore the pressure by adjusting the intake air volume or closing some exhaust ports; (3) When the flow rate deviates from the set value, the control system of the equipment will automatically adjust the rotation speed of the pump or the opening of the valve to ensure the stability of the flow rate, and precisely adjust the flow rate by controlling the rotation speed of the delivery pump through a frequency converter; When the device detects any of the above abnormal fluctuations, the control system of the device will immediately issue an alarm to timely remind the operator to handle it. Through the above automated detection and regulation measures, the stability of the heparin sodium preparation process can be ensured, thereby reducing the impact of human operation errors on product quality and improving production quality.
[0029] Specifically, for the application of a composition of heparin sodium, the composition of heparin sodium obtained according to the above preparation method is used for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.
