AI Technical Summary
Argozopan has poor water solubility, and existing preparation methods are complex and introduce excipients that may corrode the skin, resulting in significant side effects and low stability.
Argozopan nanocrystals were prepared by emulsification. Nonionic surfactants such as poloxamer 188 were combined with argozopan. By controlling the evaporation conditions, nanoscale particles were formed, increasing solubility and stabilizing in the aqueous phase, thus reducing the amount of surfactant used.
This improved the solubility and dissolution rate of arcozopane in water, ensuring the stability and safety of the drug and reducing side effects.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, and particularly relates to an arbutin injection and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Argatropan, also known as argatropan, was developed and synthesized by Mitsubishi Pharmaceutical Works Co., Ltd. (now known as Tanabe Mitsubishi Pharmaceutical) and was first launched in Japan in February 1990. The drug was initially developed to treat peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and its applications have since expanded to include chronic arterial occlusive disease, acute cerebral thrombosis, adjunctive therapy for thrombolysis in myocardial infarction, and anticoagulation in hemodialysis.
[0003] Poor water solubility remains a major challenge in the preparation of arcropan injection. According to the United States Pharmacopeia solute classification, arcropan, with a solubility of approximately 0.8-0.9 mg / mL, is considered slightly to very slightly soluble in water. Chinese patent CN101257890A discloses a sterile pharmaceutical composition containing an acid as a solubilizer, and Chinese patent CN101516370A discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing amino acids, lactobionic acid, and other solubilizers and stabilizers. Although these two inventions' pharmaceutical compositions do not contain organic solvents such as ethanol and glycerol, they include amino acids and lactobionic acid, making the preparation methods complex and unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. Furthermore, CN113521244B adds surfactants and glacial acetic acid, simplifying the preparation process, but still introduces glacial acetic acid. Although low concentrations of glacial acetic acid are of low toxicity, long-term use can still cause skin corrosion.
[0004] Therefore, the preparation of an arzopan injection with good water solubility, few side effects, and high safety and stability remains an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a method for preparing arcozopan injection, which solves the problem of poor water solubility of arcozopan, while reducing the addition of excipients, having fewer side effects, and high stability.
[0006] This application provides a method for preparing arcozopan injection, comprising arcozopan nanocrystals, nonionic surfactant, and purified water.
[0007] Preferably, the ratio of Azopan nanocrystals to nonionic surfactant is 1:(0.05-0.2), and more preferably 1:0.15.
[0008] Preferably, the nonionic surfactant may be poloxamer 188, polysorbate 80, or polyvinylpyrrolidone.
[0009] Preferably, the preparation of Agzopan nanocrystals uses an emulsification method.
[0010] Preferably, an organic solvent, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, is used in the process of preparing argozopan nanocrystals using the emulsification method.
[0011] Preferably, in the process of preparing argozopan nanocrystals using the emulsification method, the atmospheric pressure set for the evaporation of the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide is 2.38 atm, and the temperature rise is 53-60℃.
[0012] Preferably, the evaporation time of the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide can be 25-35 min.
[0013] Preferably, in the preparation of arcozopan nanocrystals, the ratio of arcozopan to dimethyl sulfoxide is 40-60 g / L, more preferably 50 g / L.
[0014] Preferably, in the process of preparing argotropane nanocrystals by emulsification, the weight ratio of the surfactant used to the argotropane raw material is 4%-6%.
[0015] This application also provides an arbutin injection prepared according to any of the above methods.
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] 1) Solved the problem of poor water solubility of arcozopan: By emulsification, the arcozopan particles are reduced to the nanoscale, increasing the specific surface area of the poorly soluble arcozopan particles, improving solubility and dissolution rate, and greatly increasing the solubility of arcozopan in the aqueous phase.
[0018] 2) High stability: After processing, the raw material of arbutin is mixed with nonionic surfactant in water. The pH value is relatively stable before and after sterilization. Furthermore, no solids are precipitated after arbutin injection is exposed to the sun for a long time. The content of active ingredients and pH value are relatively stable, thus achieving a stable effect.
[0019] 3) Enhanced safety: The preparation of atorzopan injection using atorzopan nanocrystals requires only a small amount of surfactant, resulting in fewer adverse reactions caused by surfactants and higher safety, which can overcome the aforementioned adverse reactions; furthermore, atorzopan nanocrystals have greater surface adhesion, prolonging the drug's action time in the mucus layer, limiting diffusion, increasing local drug concentration, and promoting drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

[0237] The stability of the active ingredients in samples 1-18 was tested.
[0238] I. The pH values of samples 1-18 before and after sterilization were measured. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0239] Table 2. pH values of samples 1-18 before and after sterilization.
[0240]
[0241]
[0242] Comparing samples 1-3 and 18, it was found that the pH value of samples 1-3 changed very little before and after sterilization, while the pH value of sample 18 changed significantly before and after sterilization. This indicates that, under the same conditions, arbutin injection prepared using sodium dodecyl sulfate, an ionic surfactant, showed a larger pH change before and after sterilization, indicating poor drug stability. In contrast, arbutin injection prepared using a nonionic surfactant showed a smaller pH change before and after sterilization, indicating better drug stability and higher safety.
[0243] Comparing samples 1, 4-6, 12, and 13, it can be seen that the pH value of samples 1 and 4-6 changed less before and after sterilization, while the pH value of samples 12 and 13 changed more before and after sterilization. Therefore, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, when the ratio of nonionic surfactant to arbutin raw material is (0.5-2):10, the prepared arbutin injection has better stability and higher safety.
[0244] Comparing samples 1, 7-9, 14, and 15, it can be seen that the pH value of samples 1 and 7-9 changed less before and after sterilization, while the pH value of samples 14 and 15 changed more before and after sterilization. Therefore, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, in the process of preparing arcozopan nanocrystals, setting the temperature for heating the emulsifier to allow the organic solvent DMSO to evaporate to 53-60℃ will result in arcozopan injection with better stability and higher safety.
[0245] Comparing samples 1, 10, 11, 16, and 17, it can be seen that the pH value of samples 1, 10, and 11 changed little before and after sterilization, while the pH value of samples 14 and 15 changed significantly before and after sterilization. Therefore, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, when the evaporation time of the organic solvent DMSO to be volatilized by heating the emulsifier in the preparation of arcozopan nanocrystals is 25-35 min, the prepared arcozopan injection solution has better stability and higher safety.
[0246] II. Stability of active ingredients in samples 1-18 was tested.
[0247] Samples 1-18 were placed under the influencing factors of high temperature (60℃±2℃) and light intensity of 4500Lx±500Lx for 10 days. Samples were taken on the 10th day to detect appearance, pH value, content, related substances (single impurities, total impurities), and visible foreign matter, and the results were compared with the data from day 0. The content of arbutin and related substances in arbutin injection was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (2015 edition, Part IV, 0512), and the detection data are shown in Table 3.

[0258] The standard limits for arbutin injection are known to be: colorless, clear, and transparent liquid; pH value of 5.5-6.8; content of 95%-105%; single impurity ≤0.2%; and total impurity ≤0.3%.
[0259] Comparing samples 1-3 and sample 18, it was found that after 10 days of storage at high temperature (60℃±2℃) and light exposure of 4500Lx±500Lx, samples 1-3 remained a colorless, clear, and transparent liquid with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.8, a content between 95% and 105%, and total impurities ≤0.3%. However, sample 18, after 10 days under the same conditions, turned into a pale yellow, clear, and transparent liquid with a pH value less than 5.5, a content less than 95%, a single impurity greater than 0.2%, a total impurity greater than 0.3%, and solid precipitation. Therefore, under the same conditions, arzopan injection prepared using sodium dodecyl sulfate, an ionic surfactant, exhibits poorer drug stability, while arzopan injection prepared using a nonionic surfactant shows stronger drug stability.
[0260] Comparing samples 1, 4-6, 12, and 13, it was found that samples 1 and 4-6, after being placed under high temperature (60℃±2℃) and light irradiation of 4500Lx±500Lx for 10 days, remained colorless, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.8, a content between 95% and 105%, single impurities ≤0.2%, and total impurities ≤0.3%, with solid precipitation. Samples 12 and 13, however, after being placed under the same conditions for 10 days, turned into pale yellow, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value less than 5.5, a content less than 95%, single impurities greater than 0.2%, total impurities greater than 0.3%, and solid precipitation. Therefore, under the same conditions, when the ratio of nonionic surfactant to arbutin raw material is (0.5-2):10, the prepared arbutin injection exhibits better stability and higher safety.
[0261] Comparing samples 1, 7-9, 14, and 15, it is evident that samples 1 and 7-9, after being placed under high temperature (60℃±2℃) and light irradiation of 4500Lx±500Lx for 10 days, remained colorless, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.8, a content of 95%-105%, single impurities ≤0.2%, and total impurities ≤0.3%. In contrast, samples 14 and 15, after being placed under the same conditions for 10 days, turned into pale yellow, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value less than 5.5, a content less than 95%, single impurities greater than 0.2%, total impurities greater than 0.3%, and solid precipitation. Therefore, under the same conditions, setting the temperature for heating the emulsifier to allow the organic solvent DMSO to evaporate to 53-60℃ during the preparation of argotropane nanocrystals resulted in a argotropane injection solution with better stability and higher safety.
[0262] Comparing samples 1, 10, 11, 16, and 17, it is evident that samples 1, 10, and 11, after being placed under high temperature (60℃±2℃) and light irradiation of 4500Lx±500Lx for 10 days, remained colorless, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.8, a content of 95%-105%, single impurities ≤0.2%, and total impurities ≤0.3%. In contrast, samples 16 and 17, after being placed under the same conditions for 10 days, turned into pale yellow, clear, and transparent liquids with a pH value less than 5.5, a content less than 95%, single impurities greater than 0.2%, total impurities greater than 0.3%, and solid precipitation. Therefore, under otherwise unchanged conditions, when the evaporation time of the organic solvent DMSO during the heating of the emulsifier in the preparation of argotropane nanocrystals is 25-35 min, the resulting argotropane injection exhibits better stability and higher safety.
