Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a medicinal material for injection and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In 1977, Japanese scholars S. Shima and H. Sakai found that a strain of actinomycete No. 346 could produce a large amount of stable Dragendo Positive (abbreviated as DP) substance in the process of screening from microorganisms. Through analysis of acid hydrolysis products and structural analysis, it was confirmed that the DP substance was a homopolymer monomer containing 25-30 lysine residues, which was called ε-polylysine (ε-PL).

[0003] The production of ε-polylysine is generally as follows: - Pretreatment: after fermentation, the fermentation broth is centrifuged or filtered to remove bacterial cells and insoluble impurities, and a clear fermentation broth is obtained.

[0004] - Adsorption: polylysine is adsorbed on the resin by using ion exchange resin, and impurities flow out with the solution.

[0005] - Elution: polylysine adsorbed on the resin is eluted with dilute hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride solution, and the eluate is collected.

[0006] - Concentration: the eluate is concentrated under reduced pressure to increase the concentration of polylysine.

[0007] - Purification: polylysine is further purified by gel filtration, ultrafiltration and other methods to remove small molecular impurities in the fermentation broth.

[0008] - Drying: the purified polylysine solution is spray dried or freeze dried to obtain the finished product of polylysine.

[0009] Currently, the purification of food-grade ε-polylysine is mainly achieved by strong acid cation exchange resin purification process and ultrafiltration, such as sulfonic acid type cation exchange resin. Polylysine is positively charged under acidic conditions and will exchange with the anions on the resin to be adsorbed; 1000-3000 Da membrane package ultrafiltration is used to remove small molecular fermentation impurities. Food-grade ε-polylysine has a high content of bacterial endotoxins, large particles and other impurities, and cannot be directly used for injection.

First, 7.0 ml of ε-polylysine solution at 4.83 mg / ml was added to 50 ml of Poly IC solution at 2 mg / ml, and then 0.4 ml of 0.1 mol / L calcium chloride solution was added. The solution was supplemented with 0.01 mol / L PBS solution (pH = 7.6) to 100 ml, and the pH was adjusted to 7.6 with a pH adjusting solution. Finally, the solution was filtered through a filter membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μm to remove bacteria and sterilized to obtain a sterile EP adjuvant sample.
