[0066] Through experiments, example 1 is the best embodiment:
[0067] The water-soluble florfenicol powder inclusion prepared in example 1 is characterized, and the specific content is as follows; 1) Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR):
[0068] The infrared spectra of florfenicol, betadex, hydroxypropyl betadex, physical mixture and inclusion are determined by NICOLET 6700 Fourier infrared spectrometer. The sample and KBr are mixed and ground at a ratio of about 1:100, and the infrared absorption spectrum of each sample is tested. The scanning wavelength is 400-4000 cm -1
[0069] As shown in Figure 1 , florfenicol has an -OH stretching vibration absorption peak at 3451 cm -1 , a -C=O stretching vibration absorption peak at 1684 cm -1 , a -NH bending vibration and -CN stretching vibration absorption peak at 1535 cm -1 , and a -NH bending vibration and -CN stretching vibration absorption peak at 1274 cm-1 bend vibration and -NH stretching vibration absorption peak of -CN, β-CD and HP-β-CD are about 3400 cm -1 -OH stretching vibration absorption peak, in the infrared spectrum of the physical mixture, due to the presence of β-CD and HP-β-CD, the original peak of FF is slightly shifted, as a whole, the spectrum of the physical mixture is the superposition of the infrared spectrum of FF and the infrared spectrum of β-CD / HP-β-CD, the inclusion complex has -OH stretching vibration absorption peak at 3406 cm -1 -OH stretching vibration absorption peak, which is not significantly different from β-CD / HP-β-CD, the characteristic peak of FF disappears or weakens, indicating that hydrogen bonding occurs between florfenicol and β-CD / HP-β-CD in the inclusion complex, thereby indicating that the benzene ring structure of florfenicol is included in the cavity of β-CD / HP-β-CD to form a new phase.
[0070] (2) X-ray powder diffraction method
[0071] The morphological structure of florfenicol, betadex, hydroxypropyl betadex, physical mixture and inclusion complex was analyzed by using a German Bruker D8 Advanced diffractometer. An appropriate amount of powder sample was placed on a glass slide and pressed flat, then tested by using Cu-Kα ray with a wavelength of 0.154 nm, a power of 40 kV, and 40 mA, sampling by using a step scanning mode with a step size of 0.02°, a test range of 5-55°C, and a scanning rate of 6° / min.
[0072] As shown in Figure 2 , florfenicol has strong diffraction peaks at 8.07°, 16.20°, 21.08°, 24.42°, 26.85°, 26.88°, and 31.94°, indicating that florfenicol has a specific crystal structure. β-CD has diffraction peaks at 8.94°, 10.63°, 12.64°, and 15.36°, indicating that β-CD is a crystalline substance, HP-β-CD has no obvious diffraction peak and is in an amorphous state. In the diffraction pattern of the physical mixture, there is an overlay of the diffraction peaks of florfenicol and β-CD / HP-β-CD, indicating that after direct mixing of FF and β-CD / HP-β-CD, the crystal form does not change and still maintains its own crystal characteristics. In the inclusion complex, the characteristic absorption peak of florfenicol completely disappears and is in an amorphous state, indicating that the inclusion complex is formed.
[0073] (3) Differential scanning calorimetry analysis
[0074] DSC3500 was used to analyze the relationship between florfenicol, betacyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin, physical mixture and inclusion compound and temperature. Appropriate amount of sample was weighed in empty crucible, then was clamped on sample table with tweezers for testing, setting program RT24-350℃, temperature rising speed 10° / min, collecting temperature rising curve under nitrogen atmosphere
[0075] As shown in Figure 3 , the differential thermal curves of FF, β-CD / HP-β-CD, physical mixture and inclusion compound are shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the differential thermal curve of FF raw material has a strong endothermic peak at about 156℃, which is the melting point peak of florfenicol. The differential thermal curve of β-CD has wide endothermic peaks at 82-130℃ and 304-340℃, wherein 82-130℃ is the melting point peak of crystal water in β-CD, and 304-340℃ is the melting point peak of β-CD. The differential thermal curve of HP-β-CD has wide endothermic peaks at 50-130℃ and 300-350℃, wherein 50-130℃ is the melting point peak of crystal water in HP-β-CD, and 300-350℃ is the melting point peak of HP-β-CD. The physical mixture shows the common characteristics of FF and β-CD / HP-β-CD, having FF and β-CD / HP-β-CD melting point peaks, indicating that the mixture is a simple physical mixture without mutual action. The differential thermal curve of the inclusion compound has a strong endothermic peak of FF at about 156℃, and a crystal water endothermic peak at about 100℃ disappears, only having a characteristic endothermic peak at 262℃, indicating that FF is successfully embedded in the cavity of cyclodextrin during the inclusion process, the inclusion compound is formed, the melting point of the inclusion compound is lower than that of cyclodextrin parent body, and a new structure system is formed by inclusion.
[0076] (4) Scanning electron microscope analysis
[0077] A small amount of sample was evenly coated on the conductive tape with white protective paper by Hitachi SU8020. Vacuum sputtering method was used. The instrument used was vacuum sputtering instrument, the sample was placed on the sample table about 10-15 cm away from the evaporation source, the sample was rotated, gold was sprayed (10KV / 60s), the sputtering should be uniform, and the sample was observed under the microscope after completion.
[0078] As shown in Figure 4 , the scanning electron microscope analysis of florfenicol and β-CD / HP-β-CD is shown in figures a-f. As can be seen from figures a and b, there is obvious difference between FF and β-CD, figure c shows that HP-β-CD is spherical, figure d shows that the physical mixture shows the comprehensive characteristics of florfenicol and β-CD / HP-β-CD, figures e and f are completely different from the inclusion compound, the shape and morphology of which have changed significantly, indicating that a new phase is formed.
[0079] Although the present application has been described in detail with regard to the embodiments thereof, it should be apparent that various modifications, changes, and substitutions can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
