Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for determining residual ethanol in a ferrous succinate tablet, in particular to detecting ethanol in the ferrous succinate tablet by utilizing a gas chromatography method, and belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry. Background Art
[0002] Ferrous succinate tablets are used to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron is a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. When iron is deficient, the amount of hemoglobin synthesized by red blood cells decreases, causing the red blood cells to become smaller and their oxygen-carrying capacity to decrease, resulting in iron deficiency anemia. Oral administration of this product can supplement iron and correct iron deficiency anemia.
[0003] Ferrous succinate mainly contains ferrous iron, and its main function is to supplement iron. Ferrous iron enters the body and is converted into ferric iron, which finally participates in the metabolism of iron in the body and is used to synthesize red blood cells. Its main function is to supplement the raw materials for hematopoiesis and treat iron deficiency anemia. Figure 1 It is the chemical structural formula of ferrous succinate.
[0004] Ethanol is used in the production process of ferrous succinate, and we intend to study and control the ethanol content in ferrous succinate tablets.
[0005] Ethanol is tested under residual solvents.
[0006] Ethanol is listed as a Class III residual solvent in Part IV of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and must be controlled below 0.5%.
[0007] Ethanol, also known as alcohol, is harmful to the human body in many ways. It mainly damages the liver, the digestive system, the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system. At the same time, ethanol can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to increased gastric acid secretion, which can cause gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. The impact on the nervous system is manifested in slow brain activity, leading to symptoms such as memory loss and lack of concentration. In addition, ethanol can also affect the normal function of the intestines, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
[0008] In order to strictly control the quality of drugs and ensure the safety of clinical drug use, it is necessary to control the ethanol in ferrous succinate tablets.
[0009] Compared with the raw material of ferrous succinate, the injection contains a large amount of water, inorganic salts, etc. These components will cause certain damage to the gas phase detection capillary column, and water as a solvent will interfere with the elution of ethanol. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for the determination of ethanol in injections, which is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to establish a method for determining residual ethanol in ferrous succinate tablets. The method can accurately detect the ethanol in the ferrous succinate tablets, which is beneficial to ensuring the quality safety of the ferrous succinate tablets.
[0011] The method for detecting ethanol in ferrous succinate tablets disclosed by the present invention comprises the following steps: using a capillary column with 6% cyanopropylphenyl-94% dimethylpolysiloxane (or a similar polarity) as a stationary liquid as a chromatographic column, using nitrogen as a carrier gas, starting with a column temperature of 40°C, maintaining for 5 minutes, heating to 200°C at a rate of 20°C per minute, and maintaining for 5 minutes; and performing sample analysis by headspace injection, with an injection port temperature of 200°C and a detector temperature of 250°C.

[0013] The injection volume is 0.5 ml to 2.0 ml, and more preferably 1.0 ml.
[0014] The chromatographic column is a capillary column with 6% cyanopropylphenyl-94% dimethylpolysiloxane (or similar polarity) as the stationary liquid; more preferably, it is DB-624 (30m*0.32μm*1.8mm).
[0015] The diluent used for the injection solution can be water or 50% dimethylformamide, preferably 50% dimethylformamide.
[0016] The concentration of the test sample is 10 mg / ml to 100 mg / ml, preferably 50 mg / ml.
[0017] The present invention has the positive effects that: the method adopts the headspace sampling mode and adopts an organic solvent as a diluent, thereby reducing the interference of the solvent on ethanol; and the method has high sensitivity, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the quality of the ferrous succinate tablets.
