Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a fat emulsion. Background Technology
[0002] Fat emulsion injections have been used clinically since the 1960s. They are one of the body's energy sources during parenteral nutrition and provide essential fatty acids. Fat emulsion injections include various types, such as structured fat emulsions (C...). 6~24 ), medium / long chain fat emulsion injection, fat emulsion injection (C 14~24 ), multiple oil fat emulsion injection (C 6~24 ), long-chain fat emulsion injection (OO) and ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion injection.
[0003] To meet the quality requirements of fat emulsions, sodium oleate is typically added as a co-emulsifier in addition to emulsifiers during the preparation process. Sodium oleate, as a sodium salt of fatty acids, is an anionic surfactant that plays a co-emulsifying role in fat emulsion preparation, promoting particle size uniformity. Furthermore, sodium oleate also acts as a potential regulator, helping fat emulsion particles maintain a high potential charge during long-term storage, making it less prone to droplet aggregation. This overcomes the problems of poor emulsification and excessive large droplets in fat emulsion injections.
[0004] However, adding sodium oleate to fat emulsion injections can easily lead to potential safety risks, such as hemolysis and venous inflammation. If sodium oleate is not added to the formulation, the emulsification effect will be reduced, resulting in surface oil floating and large, substandard emulsion particles in the finished product. Increasing the amount of sodium hydroxide to raise the pH of the fat emulsion can improve its stability to some extent and reduce oil floating in the finished product. However, if the method or amount of sodium hydroxide addition is inappropriate, it can lead to a higher level of free fatty acids in the product, bringing new potential risks. Furthermore, when the percentage of fat globules greater than five micrometers (PFAT5) exceeds 0.05% of the oil phase volume of the fat emulsion, fat embolism is easily caused after intravenous infusion. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a fat emulsion.

[0064] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, embodiments will be used to describe the technical solution of the present invention below. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the technical solution, and is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific embodiments shown. The headings in this invention are provided for convenience only and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Embodiments shown under any heading can be combined with embodiments shown under any other heading.
[0065] This specification uses process steps to illustrate the operations performed according to the technical solutions of the present invention. It should be understood that the preceding or subsequent operations are not necessarily performed precisely in sequence. In some embodiments, the steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. In some embodiments, other operations may be added to these processes, or one or more operations may be removed from these processes.
[0066] The "%" mentioned in this invention refers to weight percentage, which is one of the ways of characterizing content that is understood in the art. The "first-stage valve" pressure mentioned in this invention refers to the pressure value of the first-stage valve, not the total pressure; the "second-stage valve" pressure refers to the pressure value of the second-stage valve, not the total pressure.
[0067] Methods for detecting the percentage of large milk particles:
[0068] Fat emulsion products were analyzed using an optical particle size analyzer based on single-particle optical sensing technology (detector threshold set to 1.8 μm, upper limit 50 μm). A calibration curve was established using a series of standard particles to correlate particle size with intensity signal magnitude. The optical particle size analyzer measured the signal generated by emulsion particles passing through the photosensitive area in the sample, and the particle size and weighted volume of the emulsion particles were calculated based on the calibration curve. The percentage of the total weighted volume of emulsion particles larger than 5 μm in the oil phase volume was calculated using the following formula:
[0069] Limit: The weighted total volume of emulsion particles larger than 5 μm shall not exceed 0.05% of the volume of the oil phase of the fat emulsion.
[0070] The percentage of large milk particles is a safety indicator. In the process of fat emulsion preparation, the lower the percentage of large milk particles, the higher the safety. Therefore, although the limit requirement is that the percentage of large milk particles should not exceed 0.05%, in order to ensure safety, it is actually controlled to not exceed 0.02%.
[0071] Methods for detecting the content of free fatty acids:
[0072] Accurately measure 15 ml of the fat emulsion product into a beaker, add 60 ml of anhydrous ethanol, 30 ml of water, and 1 ml of 0.05 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, and mix well to prepare the test solution. Separately, accurately weigh approximately 28.5 mg of stearic acid reference standard, place it in a 100 ml volumetric flask, dissolve and dilute to the mark with anhydrous ethanol, and mix well. Accurately measure 15 ml of this solution, add 45 ml of anhydrous ethanol, 30 ml of water, and 1 ml of 0.05 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, and mix well to prepare the blank solution. Titrate with sodium hydroxide titrant (0.1 mol / L) according to the potentiometric titration procedure. Calculate using the following formula: In the formula: B represents the result of free fatty acids in the blank solution, in mmol / L; C is the concentration of sodium hydroxide titrant (0.1 mol / L), in mmol / L; V 1b The volume of sodium hydroxide titrant consumed when the blank solution is titrated to the first equivalence point, in ml; V 2b The volume of sodium hydroxide titrant consumed when the blank solution is titrated to the second equivalence point, in ml; X represents the concentration of the reference solution, in mmol / L; V 1S The volume of sodium hydroxide titrant consumed when the test solution is titrated to the first equivalence point, in ml; V 2S This is the volume of sodium hydroxide titrant consumed when the test solution is titrated to the second equivalence point, in ml.
[0073] Limits: The concentration of free fatty acids should not exceed 5 mmol / L during the shelf life. During the stability study, an increasing trend in the content of free fatty acids was observed. It was found that the level on day 0 should be controlled at no more than 1.5 mmol / L to ensure that it does not exceed 5 mmol / L at the end of the shelf life.
[0074] Methods for detecting floating oil:
[0075] Take a fat emulsion product, add about 0.8 mg of Sudan Red to the surface of the emulsion, shake the bottle carefully, and let it stand for 5 minutes. No staining rings should appear, and no more than 5 drops of red emulsion should be visible to the naked eye.
[0076] To address the issues of oil bleed and large milk particles in fat emulsions that do not meet standards without the addition of sodium oleate, the applicant conducted extensive trials and experiments using various methods. During the fat emulsion preparation process, adjustments were made to the method of adding NaOH, including but not limited to adding the full prescription amount of NaOH to the aqueous phase, adding the full prescription amount of NaOH to the colostrum, adding the full prescription amount of NaOH to the final emulsion, and adding the prescription amount of NaOH separately in different steps. Ultimately, it was found that only by adding the prescription amount of NaOH separately in different steps could the oil bleed and the percentage of large milk particles caused by oil bleed be significantly reduced, while simultaneously reducing the content of free fatty acids.
[0077] To further explore the optimal way to add the prescribed amount of NaOH separately in different steps, the applicant has designed the following comparative examples and embodiments. Comparative Example 1

[0110] Table 4 shows the experimental results: Structured fat emulsions prepared using existing techniques exhibit high levels of floating oil and free fatty acids, or high levels of free fatty acids, or high percentages of large milk particles and free fatty acids, or both floating oil and high percentages of large milk particles and free fatty acids. This indicates that existing preparation methods are unsuitable for producing the structured fat emulsion of this invention. Therefore, the preparation method in Example 1 of this invention is suitable for preparing structured fat emulsions with no floating oil and low percentages of large milk particles and free fatty acids.
[0111] Based on the preparation methods determined in Examples 1-2 of the present invention, the applicant further investigated the influence of different process parameters on the quality of fat emulsion products. Specifically, fat emulsions were prepared by adding different proportions of sodium hydroxide to the aqueous phase and the final emulsion, under different homogenization parameters, and using filter cartridges of different sizes. The oil content, percentage of large emulsion particles, and content of free fatty acids in the fat emulsions were then measured to analyze the influence of different process parameters on the fat emulsion products.

[0116] For the structural fat emulsion injections of Examples 3-6 (C) 6~24 The quality indicators were tested, and the results are shown in Table 5. Table 5 Quality indicators of structured fat emulsions prepared with different process parameters
[0117] The experimental results in Table 5 show that when the amount of sodium hydroxide added to the aqueous phase accounts for 50%-90% of the total sodium hydroxide in the formulation, the percentage of fat emulsion without floating oil, large droplets, and the content of free fatty acids are all low. However, when the amount of sodium hydroxide added to the aqueous phase accounts for more than 90% of the total sodium hydroxide in the formulation (e.g., 95% in Example 6), the amount of sodium hydroxide added to the aqueous phase is relatively large, which increases the ionic strength of the emulsion, increases the repulsive force between droplets, and improves the stability of the emulsion, thus reducing the formation of floating oil and large droplets. However, due to the large sodium hydroxide content, the fat emulsion (triglycerides) is hydrolyzed, resulting in a higher level of free fatty acids in the product, affecting the safety of product use. When the amount of sodium hydroxide added to the aqueous phase accounts for less than 50% of the total sodium hydroxide in the formulation (e.g., 30% in Example 3), the amount of sodium hydroxide added is relatively small. Although it can avoid the hydrolysis of fat emulsion (triglycerides) and reduce the content of free fatty acids in the product, it cannot completely avoid the formation of floating oil and large droplets in the product, affecting the stability and safety of product use. In summary, the products prepared through Examples 2, 4, and 5 of the present invention can avoid oil drift, reduce the percentage of large emulsion particles and the content of free fatty acids, improve the stability and safety of fat emulsion injections, and improve product quality.
[0118] Based on the preparation method and process parameters determined above, the applicant further investigated the applicability of the above preparation method and process parameters to the preparation of different types of fat emulsions, and found that the preparation method and process parameters of the present invention are also applicable to the preparation of fat emulsion injections (C). 14~24 ). Example 7
[0119] Take 200g of soybean oil, add 12g of lecithin, and heat to 70℃. Shear to disperse the lecithin in the oil phase. Take 22g of glycerol and 70% of the sodium hydroxide in the prescription, add to 700ml of water for injection (total sodium hydroxide is 1mmol), stir to dissolve, and heat to 65℃. Mix the oil phase and water phase at a mass ratio of 1:3 and shear to form an oil-water mixture. Add water for injection to a final volume of 1000ml. Circulate and shear the oil-water mixture for 10 minutes to obtain a homogeneous primary emulsion. Pass the primary emulsion through a 5μm polypropylene filter and then homogenize it under low pressure using a homogenizer. The homogenization conditions are: homogenization pressure 100 bar for the first valve, 50 bar for the second valve, homogenization temperature 65℃, and homogenization times 1. After homogenization, continue high-pressure homogenization under the following conditions: homogenization pressure 500 bar for the first valve, 50 bar for the second valve, homogenization temperature 55℃, and homogenization times 5. After high-pressure homogenization, low-pressure homogenization was performed under the following conditions: homogenization pressure of 100 bar for the first valve and 20 bar for the second valve; homogenization temperature of 55℃; and homogenization was performed once. After low-pressure homogenization, the remaining 30% of sodium hydroxide in the formulation was added to the emulsion to adjust the pH to 8.0-9.0, resulting in a homogeneous emulsion. The emulsion was then filled into glass infusion bottles, filled with nitrogen, capped, and sterilized in a rotary sterilizer at 121℃ for 12 minutes to obtain the fat emulsion injection (C). 14~24 ).
[0120] The fat emulsion of Example 7 was tested for quality indicators. The results of Examples 1 and 7 are shown in Table 6. Table 6 Quality Indicators of Different Types of Fat Emulsions Example Example 7 Example 1 Types of oils soybean oil structural triglycerides Oil drift Unbleached oil Unbleached oil Percentage of large milk particles 0.001% 0.002% Free fatty acids 0.8 mmol / L 0.8 mmol / L
