Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of analytical detection technology, and specifically relates to a method for detecting the content of residual polydimethylsiloxane in sodium citicoline derived from engineered bacteria using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the synthesis of citicoline sodium mainly involves two methods: chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. In the biosynthesis of citicoline sodium, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is typically added to the fermentation broth to inhibit or reduce foam formation, inevitably resulting in PMS residue in the citicoline sodium product. Citicoline sodium is currently available in injection, tablet, and capsule forms. Especially when used as an injection, residual PMS can decrease the physical stability of the product, such as leading to excessive levels of insoluble particles, thus posing significant safety risks. Furthermore, residual PMS can be recognized as a foreign substance by the human immune system, causing allergic reactions or inflammation. In addition, this substance can accelerate the degradation of citicoline sodium or its excipients. Therefore, research on PMS residue is of great significance for the safety of citicoline sodium derived from microorganisms.
[0003] Currently, the main component of polydimethylsiloxane used in the fermentation of sodium citicoline, a source of engineered bacteria, is (CH3)3Si[(CH3)2OSi). n SiO(CH3)3. This component has a large molecular weight and is a mixture, making it difficult to perform effective quantitative analysis using conventional laboratory chromatographic methods such as liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. It is typically analyzed using expensive equipment such as inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), resulting in high detection costs and complex procedures. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for detecting the residual polydimethylsiloxane content in sodium cytidine diphosphate choline derived from engineered bacteria using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. This method is based on the coordination reaction of polydimethylsiloxane with a chromogenic solution. The absorbance value of the resulting colored complex is measured to reflect the residual polydimethylsiloxane content in the sodium cytidine diphosphate choline. The advantages of this method include high detection sensitivity, accurate and reliable results, and good repeatability.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is:
[0006] A method for detecting residual polydimethylsiloxane content in sodium cytidine diphosphate choline derived from engineered bacteria using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Preparation of colorimetric solution: Accurately weigh cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, ammonium chloride, and potassium thiocyanate, dissolve them in ultrapure water to obtain the colorimetric solution, and store it away from light;
[0008] (2) Plotting the standard curve: Accurately weigh polydimethylsiloxane, dissolve it in dichloromethane to obtain standard solutions with different concentration gradients, and plot the standard curve.
[0009] (3) Preparation of test solution: Accurately weigh the sodium citrate produced by engineered bacteria, dissolve it in ultrapure water to obtain test solution;
[0010] (4) Preparation of reaction solution: Take dichloromethane, colorimetric solution and test solution, mix and shake well, separate the layers, take the lower layer solution, add isopropanol, shake well to obtain reaction solution;
[0011] (5) Detection: Take the reaction solution from (4) to prepare the test sample solution, measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 621 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and then obtain the concentration of the test sample solution through a standard curve.
[0012] Preferably, in (1), the concentration of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate in the colorimetric solution is 30 g / L, the concentration of ammonium chloride is 143 g / L, and the concentration of potassium thiocyanate is 256 g / L.
[0013] Preferably, in (2), the concentration range of the standard solution is 2.0-15.0 μg / mL.
[0014] Preferably, in (3), the concentration of sodium citicoline in the test solution is not less than 100 mg / mL.
[0015] Preferably, in (4), the volume ratio of dichloromethane, colorimetric solution and test solution is 1:1:1.
[0016] Preferably, in (5), the preparation process of the test sample solution is as follows: take the reaction solution, dilute it with isopropanol, and shake it well; the concentration of sodium cytidine diphosphate choline in the test sample solution is 45-90 mg / mL.
[0017] In developing a method for determining polydimethylsiloxane residues, the inventors discovered that this substance has a large molecular weight, stable structure, and no ultraviolet absorption, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) did not achieve ideal results. However, through experimental exploration and research, it was found that polydimethylsiloxane can undergo a complexation reaction with cobalt ions and thiocyanate ions to generate a blue substance. Therefore, this invention considers establishing a linear regression relationship between the ultraviolet absorbance of this blue complex and the concentration of polydimethylsiloxane, and based on this, establishes a method for determining polydimethylsiloxane residues. Regarding solvents, polydimethylsiloxane has good lipid solubility; therefore, organic reagents such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, and petroleum ether can be used as solvents in this method. Considering that sodium cytidine diphosphate choline is a quaternary ammonium salt compound, readily soluble in water but not readily soluble in lipid solvents such as petroleum ether, an extraction method is considered to enrich and separate polydimethylsiloxane for determining its residue, ensuring the sensitivity of the analytical method.
[0018] Experiments revealed that the blue complex formed by the coordination reaction between the colorimetric solution and the polydimethylsiloxane in the test sample solution is water-soluble and readily distributed at the interface between the aqueous and organic phases, making it difficult to dissolve. Therefore, isopropanol was used to dilute the reaction solution, which promoted the dissolution of the complex and also improved the color and clarity of the reaction solution. A full scan of the solution after the reaction of polydimethylsiloxane and the colorimetric solution was performed in the range of 190–800 nm. The maximum absorption was found at 621 nm; therefore, 621 nm was selected as the measurement wavelength for this invention.
[0019] The present invention has the following advantages and effects compared with the prior art:
[0020] (1) The present invention uses ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry to determine the residual polydimethylsiloxane in sodium citicoline (polydimethylsiloxane added during the fermentation of engineered strains), which solves the problem of high detection costs caused by using high-end and expensive instruments such as inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to detect polydimethylsiloxane residues.
[0021] (2) The present invention has high sensitivity, good repeatability and good accuracy, ensuring the accuracy and stability of data results. Data in the embodiments show that the detection method provided by the present invention has a relative standard deviation of less than 2.0% and a recovery rate in the range of 80%~120%, with an RSD of recovery rate of ≤2%.
