Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of blood drug detection, and in particular to a method for detecting risperidone blood drug concentration. Background Art
[0002] Risperidone is a benzisoxazole derivative with the molecular formula , containing benzene ring, fluorine atom and heterocyclic group. Risperidone is a second generation (atypical) antipsychotic drug with dopamine Receptors and Serotonin It has a receptor antagonist effect and is widely used in the treatment of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is usually available in dosage forms such as oral tablets and long-acting injections.
[0003] Testing risperidone blood concentrations can be used to assess drug release and absorption in the body, study the drug's mechanism of action, and adjust drug usage. Currently, risperidone blood concentration testing is primarily achieved through chromatography, which uses a precipitant to precipitate proteins in the blood and then detects the residue in the supernatant. Because risperidone itself has poor stability, weak light resistance, and a high risk of decomposition in both acidic and alkaline environments, the above-mentioned extraction process can easily result in risperidone loss. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to reduce the loss of risperidone during the extraction process, the present application provides a method for detecting the blood concentration of risperidone.
[0005] In this scheme, a method for detecting the blood concentration of risperidone is provided, which comprises the following steps: S1. Prepare calibration products; S2. performing low-temperature extraction on the sample to extract risperidone therein to obtain an extract; S3. Perform chromatographic detection on the standard product and obtain a standard curve according to its gradient concentration; S4. Determine the extract using the same method and determine its concentration according to the standard curve; In step S2, the specific steps are as follows: S2-1, controlling the temperature not to exceed 5°C, adding an ester solvent to the system, and mixing thoroughly to obtain a first mixture; S2-2, adding a neutral precipitant to the first mixture, then centrifuging in a low-temperature centrifuge, retaining the supernatant, and removing the precipitate to obtain an extract; S2-3, separating the extract and retaining the organic phase as the extract; All the above steps were performed in a dark place.
[0006] In the above scheme, a low-temperature extraction method is used to treat risperidone. What needs to be solved is the problem that risperidone has poor solubility at low temperatures, resulting in precipitation loss, and the water system is prone to crystallization in the above process, resulting in a decrease in the extraction rate in the sample. Therefore, in this application, risperidone is volumetrically expanded and extracted by an ester solvent, which can not only better extract risperidone in the system, but also better remove the impurity protein system in the system.
[0007] In the above scheme, in step S2-1, the ester solvent is preferably butyl acetate, which has better solubility and a greater solubility difference with the aqueous phase. Compared with materials such as ethyl acetate or ethyl formate, the extraction rate is relatively higher, and a stratified system can be better formed, thereby improving the accuracy of the extraction step of the system.
[0008] Preferably, in step S2-2, the residual solid precipitate is back-extracted with a water-organic solvent mixed system, and then centrifuged again and precipitated to be combined with the extract. Further preferably, the water-organic solvent system is a water-butyl acetate mixed system, wherein the volume ratio of water to butyl acetate is 1: 5-10, and in this step, the overall pH is adjusted to 3-5. The risperidone system remaining in the precipitate can be further separated by the water-butyl acetate system, and a certain alkalinity is used to improve the solubility of risperidone while reducing the dissolution of protein. In this step, a small amount of alkaline solution will not significantly cause the decomposition of risperidone, so the recovery efficiency is better. In the other steps of steps S2-1 and 3-2, a neutral system is used, which also reduces the loss of risperidone under large samples. The volume of the ester solvent is 10 to 50 times the sample volume, which can achieve a good extraction effect.
[0009] Preferably, in step S3, a Phenyl-Hexyl chromatographic column is used, and a water-methanol mixed solution is used as an eluent for gradient elution, according to the volume ratio: Initial: 95% water + 5% methanol; 0.5 min: 90% water + 10% methanol; 1 min: 50% water + 50% methanol; 1.2 min: 20% water + 80% methanol; 2.6 min: 90% water + 10% methanol; 3min: Elution is completed.
[0010] More preferably, in the water-methanol mixed system, ammonium acetate is added to water and methanol at a concentration of 1 to 5 mM respectively.
[0011] In the above scheme, the chromatographic elution is performed with a water-methanol system, which has better elution properties as a whole and has a large difference in elution time between impurity peaks, thereby improving the purity of the peak type and reducing the influence of impurity peaks on the experimental results.
[0012] Preferably, the precipitant is a mixture of an organic solvent and a neutral inorganic salt, wherein the organic solvent is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, wherein the volume ratio of water to ethylene glycol is 1:5-10, and the mass concentration of the neutral inorganic salt in the precipitant is 5-10 g / L. Further preferably, the amount of the precipitant added is 10-20 times the sample volume.
[0013] In the above scheme, a water-ethylene glycol composite system is used as the precipitant. Compared to conventional methanol or acetonitrile systems, ethylene glycol provides a certain degree of crosslinking. Due to its greater solubility difference with ester solvents such as butyl acetate, it facilitates separation during the extraction process and achieves a higher extraction efficiency. Ethylene glycol also has greater hydrophobicity, making it more effective in stripping inorganic phases.
[0014] Preferably, in step S2-3, the sample is blown dry by nitrogen at a temperature not exceeding 10°C, then rinsed with a water-inorganic salt solution system, and finally redissolved in an organic solvent.
[0015] By drying with nitrogen and then eluting, a small amount of residual protein in the system can be removed, and residual alkaline substances can be washed away at the same time, reducing the impact of the system in subsequent chromatographic analysis.
[0016] In summary, the present application provides a method for detecting risperidone blood concentration based on a low-temperature extraction scheme, which reduces the decomposition and loss of risperidone during the removal of impurities and has better detection accuracy in high and low concentration samples.
