Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of analytical chemistry, and in particular to a detection method and a kit for rapid detection of quaternary ammonium salt oxime reactivators in biological samples. Background Art

[0002] Quaternary ammonium oximes (QAO) reactivators are a very important class of drugs for the prevention and treatment of organophosphorus poisoning. Organophosphorus poisons can react with the serine hydroxyl group at the active site of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to form a stable PO covalent bond (OP-AChE), which irreversibly inhibits AChE and causes poisoning. The oxime hydroxyl group in the reactivator can attack the phosphorus atom, destroy the PO covalent bond, restore the serine hydroxyl group at the active site of acetylcholinesterase, and restore the activity of the enzyme. This class of compounds has a significant detoxification effect on the peripheral nervous system, but the strong charge of the quaternary ammonium salt structure makes it difficult for them to pass through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​to exert a detoxification effect in the central nervous system. Encapsulating the reactivator through dosage form modification can improve its ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier, thereby enhancing the reactivation effect on the central nervous system. At present, the analytical methods for such compounds in biological samples are mostly high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS), capillary electrophoresis (CE), etc. These detection methods are highly sensitive and reproducible, but require complex sample pretreatment processes, long analysis time and more professional operators. In addition, since these compounds have strong polarity and poor chromatographic retention behavior, special chromatographic columns or ion pair reagents are required to improve their separation effect; and oxime compounds are easily degraded in biological samples. Methods with complex sample pretreatment steps, slow detection rate and poor sensitivity can no longer meet the needs of qualitative and quantitative detection. In order to effectively evaluate the ability of various quaternary ammonium oxime reactivators to pass through the BBB after their own and dosage form modification, and to quickly and accurately detect the concentration and time-effect / dose-effect relationship of antitoxic drugs in biological samples, and to provide important technical support for responding to NAs poisoning, it is still necessary to explore rapid and highly sensitive detection methods that can be applied to quaternary ammonium oxime reactivators in biological samples. Summary of the invention

[0003] After experimental exploration, the inventors obtained a quaternary ammonium oxime anti-toxin detection method and detection kit based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The inventors found that the detection method or detection kit of the present invention has many advantages such as simple operation, fast detection speed, and high sensitivity, and can be used for the rapid detection of quaternary ammonium oxime rescue drugs for nerve agent poisoning in biological samples.

[0006] 2) Based on the signal obtained by the detection, determine the type and / or content of the quaternary ammonium salt oxime antitoxic agent in the sample to be tested.

[0007] Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a fingerprint spectroscopy technology with the advantages of high sensitivity, real-time non-destructive analysis, no need for complex sample pre-treatment, simple operation and fast detection speed. Directly applying SERS to the detection of quaternary ammonium salt oxime reactivators in biological matrices has very low sensitivity, and various biomacromolecules in biological samples, such as blood cells, proteins, amino acids, etc., will seriously inhibit the SERS detection signal, resulting in no detection signal or extremely low sensitivity. In view of this difficult problem, the present invention constructs a "stacked" Au-I - -QAO specific sensing system, using positively charged QAO compounds and coated iodine anions (I - ) nanogold, not only effectively removes the interference of proteins, amino acids and other compounds adsorbed on the surface of nanogold, but also attracts the target analytes to the hot spot of the nanosol, thereby effectively simplifying the sample pretreatment process, significantly improving the detection sensitivity and analysis speed of QAO compounds in biological samples, and avoiding the shortcomings of poor parallelism in the analysis of biological samples due to self-degradation; it realizes the qualitative and quantitative analysis of oxime reactivators in samples such as blood and brain extracts, providing a relatively strong technical support for evaluating the blood-brain barrier penetration ability of such compounds.
