Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, and in particular to a dopamine hydrochloride injection and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Dopamine hydrochloride injection is a common emergency treatment drug, indicated for shock syndromes caused by myocardial infarction, trauma, endotoxin sepsis, cardiac surgery, renal failure, congestive heart failure, etc.; and for shock that cannot be corrected after blood volume resuscitation, especially shock with oliguria and normal or low peripheral vascular resistance. Because it can increase cardiac output, it is also used for heart failure unresponsive to digitalis and diuretics.
[0003] Dopamine hydrochloride is a white or off-white lustrous crystal; it gradually decomposes upon exposure to air and light, releasing impurities and darkening in color. When formulated as dopamine hydrochloride injection, this readily decomposable property affects the safety of the drug.
[0004] Most commercially available dopamine hydrochloride injections currently use sodium bisulfite to inhibit decomposition, but this still fails to achieve the desired effect. Dopamine hydrochloride still decomposes during long-term storage, leading to a decrease in content, an increase in impurities, and affecting product safety. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a dopamine hydrochloride injection and its preparation method. The dopamine hydrochloride injection prepared by this invention has fewer impurities decomposed during long-term storage, more stable quality, and higher drug safety.
[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: providing a dopamine hydrochloride injection solution, which, by mass percentage, is composed of the following raw materials: 2% dopamine hydrochloride, 0.2-0.5% nicotinamide, 0.5-1% glycerol, with the balance being water for injection. The optimal composition is: 2% dopamine hydrochloride, 0.3% nicotinamide, 0.8% glycerol, with the balance being water for injection.
[0007] Another method for preparing the above-mentioned dopamine hydrochloride injection is provided, and the specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0008] Step S1: Preparation process;
[0009] Add nicotinamide and glycerin to the mixing tank according to the prescription amount, and add water for injection accounting for 40% of the total weight of the dopamine hydrochloride injection solution. Stir to dissolve, then add water for injection accounting for 60% of the total weight of the dopamine hydrochloride injection solution, add dopamine hydrochloride, stir to dissolve, and add water for injection to make up the volume to obtain the dopamine hydrochloride mixed solution.
[0010] Step S2: Filling process;
[0011] The dopamine hydrochloride mixture obtained in step S1 was cooled to 2-8°C, pressurized with nitrogen for 12 hours, and then heated to 30°C. After the solution was completely reconstituted, it was filtered through a 0.22μm microporous membrane and filled into brown borosilicate glass ampoules. The ampoules were then sealed with a high-temperature flame to obtain dopamine hydrochloride injection.
[0012] Step S3: Sterilization process;
[0013] The dopamine hydrochloride injection obtained in step S2 is subjected to autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes and leak detection is performed to obtain the dopamine hydrochloride injection.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention enables dopamine hydrochloride injection to decompose with fewer impurities during long-term storage, resulting in more stable quality and higher drug safety; This invention uses a combination of nicotinamide and glycerin to inhibit the generation of impurities, which is superior to using nicotinamide and glycerin alone, achieving unexpected results.
