Its proportion of radioactive substances in the injection, i.e., its radiochemical purity, is a key quality indicator of injection products. At present, the detection method of radiochemical purity of radioactive drugs is still mainly radioactive thin layer chromatography, which is usually unable to separate and quantitatively determine impurities with similar structures (including radiochemical impurities and organic impurities).

[0014] The quality control method provided by the present invention adopts the mobile phase A and the mobile phase B, and performs elution according to the gradient, so as to achieve the separation of ultraviolet impurities and fluorine in the injection solution. 19 F] pyramide can be effectively separated from radiochemical impurities and fluorine [ 18 The effective separation of F]pyramide provides a basis for further testing and, based on the relevant guidelines of ICH (International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use), determines whether further control or reporting of impurities in drugs is required to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drugs.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mobile phase A and the mobile phase B are eluted according to the following gradient (wherein the usage percentages of the mobile phase A and the mobile phase B are all volume percentages):

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Chemical drug preparations are usually composed of active ingredients and excipients. The detection of the content or purity of active ingredients in preparations usually gives priority to the analytical method of active ingredients. 18 F] Labeled drugs are usually obtained from precursor compounds through chemical reactions, separation and purification, and mixing with excipients to obtain the final injection product.

[0049] The active ingredient fluorine in the injection solution of the present invention is partly involved in the embodiments 18 F] Pyramide is obtained by labeling with a precursor compound having the structural formula shown below.

[0050]

[0051] In the labeling reaction, the p-toluenesulfonic acid group TsO- of the precursor compound leaves and is replaced by fluorine [ 18 F] ion substitution to generate the radioactive active ingredient of the preparation [ 18 F]pyramide, at the same time, a small amount of stable fluorine introduced by reaction reagents, equipment pipelines, etc. 19 F] ions react with some precursor compounds to form stable fluorine [ 19 F] pyramide. The precursor compound is labeled to generate fluoro[ 18 The solution after the labeling reaction of pyramide injection is called the labeling synthesis mother solution. The labeling synthesis mother solution contains fluorine [ 18 F]pyramide, also rich in precursor compounds, fluoro[ 19 F]pyramide and other impurities, such as compounds containing fluorine [ 18 F] radiochemical impurities, organic process impurities and degradation impurities. Among them, fluorine [ 19 The content of F]pyramide needs to be controlled to avoid its interaction with radioactive fluorine [ 18 F] Competitive effects of pyramide in targeting lesions.

[0052] In the prior art, there is a method for separating fluorine by using trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and trifluoroacetic acid acetonitrile solution. 19 F]pyramide or fluoro[ 18F] pyramide, but the inventors found that fluoro[ 18 F]pyramide and fluoro[ 19 F]pyramide is unstable in an acidic environment. Therefore, using an aqueous solution of trifluoroacetic acid or an acetonitrile solution as the mobile phase for elution will result in the formation of fluorine [ 18 F] pyramide decomposes, affecting the accuracy of the test data. The main component to be tested is weakly retained on the C18 column. If the above mobile phase is used, the analysis time must be extended, which is not conducive to the inspection of radioactive drugs. In addition, the method does not conduct method applicability and specificity investigation on the detection of potential impurities, and cannot guarantee the effective identification and separation of impurities with similar structures. For example, the RRT 0.92 impurity in this method has the following structure (the F element is 18 F or 19 F corresponds to the radiochemical impurities or ultraviolet impurities with this chemical structure in the preparation).

[0053]

[0054] From the analysis of chemical structure, the precursor compound and fluorine [ 19 F]pyramide or fluoro[ 18 F]pyramide has little difference, so the preparation analysis method can be developed based on the precursor analysis method, and the residue of precursor compound in the preparation can be detected at the same time.

[0055] Therefore, the fluorine provided by the present invention [ 18 The development of the quality control method for [F]pyramide injection was based on the detection method of precursor compounds, and the initial mobile phase ratio, elution gradient, running time and other conditions were further optimized. The impurity-rich reaction mother liquor (labeled synthesis mother liquor) was also used for fluorine [ 19 F]pyramide and fluoro[ 18 F]pyramide test conditions were screened, representative optimized conditions were selected, and the quality control method provided by the present invention was obtained to achieve the quality control of fluoro[ 18 F]pyramide injection radiochemical purity and fluorine [ 19 F] The pyramide content and the detection of various actual impurities in the labeled synthesis mother liquor ensure that all impurities can be detected and the analysis time is shortened as much as possible, and the detection can be completed in just 20 minutes.

[0056] The quality control method provided by the present invention is that the ultraviolet detector is connected in series with the radiation flow detector. When performing the detection, the sample flows through the chromatographic column and is eluted by the mobile phase. The eluent first flows through the ultraviolet detector to perform fluorine [ 19 F]pyramide and UV impurities, and then the eluent flows through a radiometric flow detector for fluorine [ 18 F] Detection of radiochemical purity of pyramide and radiochemical impurities.

[0057] The information of reagents, instruments, etc. used in the examples of the present invention are shown in the following table.

[0240] Table 13-2 Fluorine 18 F]Pyramide radiochemical purity durability test results (20240719)

[0241]

[0242] It can be seen from Tables 12-1, 12-2, 13-1 and 13-2 that under various parameter conditions, the fluorine content in the sensitivity solution [ 19 F]pyramide signal-to-noise ratio should be ≥10, which meets the requirements; compared with the initial conditions, the mobile phase composition changes, the flow rate ±0.2mL / min, and the column temperature ±5℃, the fluorine [ 19 F]pyramide main peak and adjacent impurity peak separation ≥ 2.1; in the radioactive spectrum, fluorine [ 18 The separation degree between the main peak of [F]pyramide and the adjacent impurity peaks is ≥1.6, and the relative standard deviation of radiochemical purity is ≤0.57%.

[0243] In the intermediate precision verification, chromatographic columns of the same model but different batches were used on different detection instruments. The relative standard deviation of the radiochemical purity of 12 test solutions according to the repeatability experiment results was 0.38%, proving that the method has good durability under the condition of replacing the chromatographic column.

[0244] The results of the durability experiments all met the acceptance criteria, and the method had good durability.

[0245] Through the above verification, the quality control method provided in this embodiment has good reliability. On this basis, blank solution, sensitivity solution, reference solution, verification reference solution, and test solution are taken and injected into the liquid chromatograph respectively to record the chromatogram. The UV spectrum of the blank solution is as follows Figure 1 The UV spectrum of the reference solution is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, check the UV spectrum of the reference solution as Figure 3 As shown, the UV and radioactivity spectra of the test solution are as follows Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, reasonable integration, in the UV spectrum according to the external standard method combined with its linear regression equation to calculate the fluorine [ 18 Fluoride in pyramide injection 19F]pyramide content, calculated by peak area normalization method in radioactive spectrum [ 18 F] Pyramide radiochemical purity.

[0246] from Figure 5 It can be seen that at 6.839min [ 18 F] pyramide peak; combined Figure 5 , it can be seen Figure 4 The 6.845min is fluorine [ 19 F] pyramide peak, and other impurity peaks all peaked within 8 minutes; therefore, using the quality control method of this embodiment, [ 18 F] Testing of pyramide injection.

[0247] After calculation, the results of multiple batches are: Fluorine [ 18 The radiochemical purity of pyramide was 95.0% to 99.8%, and the fluorine [ 19 F] The pyramide content is 0.2μg / mL~5.0μg / mL.

[0248] Comparative Example 1 (Mobile Phase Condition 1)

[0249] This comparative example provides a fluorine [ 18 F] The quality control method of pyramide injection is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that 0.1% phosphoric acid water is used as mobile phase A, acetonitrile is used as mobile phase B, and elution is performed according to the following gradient. In this comparative example, the precursor compound is used as the analysis object.

[0250]

[0251] In this comparative example, the UV spectrum obtained is as follows Fig.13 As shown, it can be seen that the precursor compound is eluted in 2-3 minutes.

[0252] In Comparative Example 1, the precursor compound is used as the analysis object. According to the precursor compound and fluorine [ 19 F] pyramide structure can be judged that the polarity of the precursor compound is less than that of fluorine [ 19 F] pyramide polarity, therefore, when the mobile phase conditions of Comparative Examples 1-3 were applied to fluorine [ 18 F] pyramide injection, fluorine in the UV spectrum 19 F]pyramide peaks earlier, that is, the fluorine [ 19 F]pyramide will be eluted earlier, so the mobile phase conditions of this comparative example cannot achieve the fluorine [ 18 F] Separation of impurities and main components in pyramide injection.

[0253] Comparative Example 2 (Gradient Condition 1)

[0254] This comparative example provides a fluorine [ 18 F] The quality control method of pyramide injection is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that 10 mM phosphate at pH 7 is used as mobile phase A, acetonitrile is used as mobile phase B, and elution is performed according to the following gradient.

[0255]

[0256] In this comparative example, the spectrum obtained is as follows Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, it can be seen that under the elution gradient of this comparative example, fluorine [ 18 F] pyridine peaked at 12.298 min, fluorine [ 19 F]pyridine peaked at 12.302 min, and Fig.15 It shows that the elution time of other impurities in the injection solution is even more than 30 minutes. These results indicate that the detection time is long when the gradient elution in this comparative example is used, the organic impurities are concentrated in the later peaks, and the separation degree between impurities does not meet the requirements.

[0257] Comparative Example 3 (Gradient Condition 2)

[0258] This comparative example provides a fluorine [ 18 F] The quality control method of pyramide injection is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that 10 mM phosphate at pH 7 is used as mobile phase A, acetonitrile is used as mobile phase B, and elution is performed according to the following gradient.

[0259]

[0260] In this comparative example, the spectrum obtained is as follows Fig.16 and 17 As shown, it can be seen that under the elution gradient of this comparative example, fluorine [ 18 F] pyridine peaked at 9.906 min, fluorine [ 19 F]pyridine peaked at 9.903 min, and Fig.17 It shows that the elution time of other impurities in the injection is concentrated in 14-20 minutes, and even exceeds 20 minutes. These results indicate that when the gradient in this comparative example is used for elution, the main component still has a late elution time and a long detection time.

[0261] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that when the compositions of mobile phases A and B are the same, only due to the different elution gradients, the elution gradients in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 lead to a late peak time of the main component, and the peak time of the impurities (ultraviolet impurities) in the injection solution is concentrated and delayed, and the separation degree cannot meet the requirements, resulting in a prolonged detection time, thereby affecting the activity of the radioactive drug; the elution gradient in Example 1 can not only achieve effective separation of impurities and the main component, but also achieve efficient completion of fluorine [ 18 F] Testing of pyraclostrobin injection.

[0262] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
