Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heparin sodium bulk drugs, and particularly relates to a heparin sodium bulk drug and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Heparin sodium is an acidic mucopolysaccharide with anticoagulant effects. As a natural anticoagulant substance, heparin sodium has attracted the attention of countries around the world. Although heparin sodium has been used clinically for more than 60 years, there is still no product that can completely replace it so far. Therefore, it remains one of the most important biochemical drugs for anticoagulation and antithrombosis. Heparin has a strong anticoagulant effect and is the first choice drug for preventing and treating thromboembolic diseases such as deep vein thrombosis. With the in-depth research, it is found that heparin not only has anticoagulant, antithrombotic and lipid-regulating effects, but also has a variety of biological functions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiviral and anti-cancer.
[0003] The heparin sodium bulk drug is derived from crude heparin. Crude heparin is sourced from the small intestinal mucosa of healthy animals, which contains a large amount of impurity proteins, impurity nucleic acids, microorganisms, etc. It is necessary to go through physical and chemical extraction and separation processes to obtain heparin with a complete natural structural group in a targeted manner, so as to produce the heparin sodium bulk drug. However, the heparin bulk drugs produced in China have problems of low titer and low extraction rate, and most of them are exported to foreign countries at a low price in the form of crude heparin sodium. In view of the problems existing in the current production of heparin sodium, it is of great significance to study the technology for efficient extraction, separation and purification of heparin.
[0004] However, most of the existing heparin sodium extraction and purification methods use acid-base treatment to remove impurity proteins, nucleic acids and other substances, use multiple oxidation methods to remove pigment substances, and use multiple ethanol fractionation methods to remove other heteropolysaccharides. The above acid-base treatment method is prone to high residual amounts of nucleic acids and pigments, resulting in an increase in the number of subsequent oxidations; acid treatment and multiple oxidations are prone to partial inactivation of heparin sodium, making it difficult to obtain heparin sodium with a high titer; multiple ethanol fractionations are prone to reduce the yield and cause waste of materials.
[0005] The advantages of the enzymatic extraction of heparin polysaccharide are mild reaction conditions, and the yield can be significantly improved by removing protein impurities through enzymatic methods. However, this technology also has certain limitations: (1) The optimal temperature and optimal pH value of the enzyme are often within a very small range. To increase the enzyme activity to the maximum value, the enzyme reaction temperature and pH must be strictly controlled. A slight fluctuation in the reaction conditions may greatly reduce the enzyme activity, so the requirements for test equipment are relatively high. (2) During the enzymatic extraction process, the enzyme may react with the polysaccharide, causing polysaccharide degradation. (3) The enzyme itself is also a protein, so the enzyme needs to be inactivated and the protein impurities need to be removed after extracting heparin.
[0006] Zhou Xianwan from Peking University used the enzymatic hydrolysis method to refine heparin sodium and achieved good results (Zhou Xianwan, He Wei. Refinement of Heparin Sodium by Enzymatic Degradation. Chinese Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1999, 6(18): 488-490). However, in the preparation process, the heparin content in the enzymatic hydrolysate is generally above 100,000 U / L, but the heparin sodium adsorbed from the enzymatic hydrolysate by ion exchange is incomplete, and the residual solution often contains a relatively high amount of heparin sodium, thus affecting the recovery rate of heparin sodium. This requires first selecting a resin with good adsorption effect, strong adsorption capacity, alkali resistance, and heat resistance; and determining the optimal adsorption conditions of the resin. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides a heparin sodium raw material drug and its preparation method, which has the characteristics of simple operation, short process time, and high product recovery rate. The obtained heparin sodium not only has high purity and high activity, but also is used as an injection-grade heparin sodium raw material drug.

[0009] S1. Dissolve the crude heparin sodium in a sodium chloride solution to obtain a crude product solution;
[0010] S2. After enzymatic hydrolysis of the crude product solution, perform alcohol precipitation to obtain a precipitate;
[0011] S3. After dissolving the precipitate, purify it on a strongly basic anion exchange column to obtain an eluate;
[0012] S4. After purifying the eluate on a weakly basic anion exchange column again, the heparin sodium raw material drug is obtained;
[0013] In step S3, the strongly basic anion exchange column is filled with a strongly basic quaternary ammonium type anion resin, which is obtained by performing a quaternary ammonium saltification reaction on a tertiary amine anion exchange resin and a quaternary ammonium halide;
[0014] In step S4, the weakly basic anion exchange column is filled with a weakly basic imidazole type anion resin, which is obtained by performing a condensation reaction on a primary amine anion exchange resin and an alkenyl acyl chloride, and then performing a copolymerization reaction with vinyl imidazole.
[0015] In the present invention, after enzymatic hydrolysis of the crude heparin sodium, heparin sodium is fully released from the protein complex; heparin sodium is first purified on a strongly basic anion exchange column to remove impurities such as heteroproteins and heteropolysaccharides, and then decolorized on a weakly basic anion exchange column to remove impurities such as pigments; through two-step purification of the strongly basic anion exchange column and the weakly basic anion exchange column, the present invention avoids the introduction of foreign substances, improves the activity of heparin sodium, and also ensures the purity of the product.
