Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a vecuronium bromide lyophilized agent for injection and its manufacturing process, belonging to the field of pharmaceutical technology. Background Technology
[0002] Vecuronium bromide, chemically known as 1-[3α,17β-diacetoxy-2-β(1-piperidinyl)-5α-androstane-16β-yl]-1-methylpiperidine bromide, is an adjunct to general anesthetics that promotes musculoskeletal relaxation. Currently available vecuronium bromide formulations are primarily injection solutions and lyophilized powder for injection. Vecuronium bromide injection solutions suffer from poor physical and chemical stability, leading to quality degradation and instability with prolonged storage. While existing lyophilized powder for injection improves the stability of the formulation, it requires the addition of a strong acid to increase solubility. The resulting acidic solution can severely irritate blood vessels, causing injection pain. Furthermore, studies have shown that intravenous injection pain is related to the pH of the injection solution; appropriately increasing the pH can help reduce injection pain.
[0003] Chinese patent CN201310489082.6 discloses a lyophilized powder injection of vecuronium bromide for injection and its preparation method. This lyophilized powder injection is made of vecuronium bromide, mannitol, lactose, trehalose, citric acid, and disodium hydrogen phosphate. However, it involves a large number of raw materials, resulting in high production costs. In addition, due to differences in individual constitutions, the use of lactose can cause severe lactose intolerance. Furthermore, the pH of the dissolved lyophilized powder injection is between 3.8 and 4.2, which can easily cause injection pain. CN201410102893.0 discloses a pharmaceutical composition for injection of vecuronium bromide and its preparation method. This pharmaceutical composition consists of vecuronium bromide, citric acid, and disodium hydrogen phosphate. Although it does not use amino acids or lactose, the pH of the dissolved pharmaceutical composition is also between 3.8 and 4.2, which can easily cause injection pain. Summary of the Invention

[0100] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, through accelerated and long-term experiments, the content of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 decreased significantly while the content of related substances increased significantly, while the content and related substances of Examples 1 to 8 of the present invention did not change significantly, indicating that the product of the present invention has better stability. Compared with Comparative Example 3, the addition of povidone K30 in the present invention helps to improve the stability of the lyophilized vecuronium bromide injection product.
[0101] 2. Evaluation of Vascular Pain: Samples from Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-4 of this invention were administered to mice via the femoral artery. Vascular pain was appropriately evaluated by measuring electromyography (EMG). Each group of Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-4 consisted of 6 mice. After femoral artery administration, the EMG area was measured. The percentage of the EMG area obtained was calculated (referred to as the vascular pain index = EMG value of the calculated EMG peak area / calculated reference value; the smaller the vascular pain index value, the weaker the reduction in vascular pain). Based on the vascular pain index, the degree of vascular pain caused by the injectable vecuronium bromide lyophilized preparation was evaluated. The judgment criteria were: a vascular pain index greater than 60% indicated reduced vascular pain, suggesting a slight vascular stimulation effect; a vascular pain index less than 60% indicated more severe pain and a stronger vascular stimulation effect. The experimental results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0103]
[0104] As shown in Table 3, compared with Comparative Example 4, the vascular pain index of the vecuronium bromide lyophilized powder for injection in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was higher. This indicates that by preparing the vecuronium bromide lyophilized powder for injection using the raw materials of the present invention and controlling its pH to neutral, vascular pain was significantly reduced, and the vascular irritation effect was slight, which could significantly reduce the vascular pain generated during administration. Compared with Comparative Example 3, the vascular pain index of Examples 1-8 was greater than 60%. Povidone K30 is more helpful in maintaining the stability of the drug in the physiological pH environment of blood vessels and accelerating the dissolution of the drug, which can reduce the irritation of vecuronium bromide to blood vessels, thereby further reducing the vascular pain generated during administration. It was further found that Examples 7 and 8 of the present invention had a more significant effect on reducing vascular pain.
[0105] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate and not limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Any modifications or partial substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
