Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analytical detection, and particularly to an extraction method and a detection method for antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in plasma. Background Art
[0002] Macromolecular polypeptide substances - antibacterial peptides isolated from organisms such as insects and mammals have characteristics such as high-efficiency sterilization, low drug resistance, and no residue. Antibacterial peptide NZ2114 is a derivative peptide obtained by amino acid modification of the first fungal defensin Plectasin, which has antibacterial specificity against Gram-positive bacteria and its antibacterial activity is superior to that of the parent peptide. In addition, NZ2114 has advantages such as intracellular bactericidal activity, no hemolytic activity, low cytotoxicity, and a long drug half-life, and is expected to become a new type of antibacterial drug. However, the inability to quantitatively detect antibacterial peptide NZ2114 after in vivo metabolism has always been a technical bottleneck restricting its clinical application.
[0003] Currently, the detection methods for antibacterial peptides mainly include biological assay, immunological method, in vivo imaging technology, chromatography, etc. The biological assay is a detection method based on functional specific biological responses to determine the biological activity of the substance to be tested, and is mainly used for the determination of the purity, stability, and potency of biological products. However, this method is easily affected by active metabolites, biological matrices, and environmental factors, and has a relatively high detection limit, unable to meet the needs of trace detection. In addition, the currently widely used immunological method is mainly ELISA. This technology mainly relies on the binding of antigens and antibodies, so it is easily interfered by substances such as endogenous enzymes and proteins, resulting in cross-reactions and even false positives, and the specificity of this method is relatively poor. Therefore, this method is not suitable for detecting endogenous complex samples such as plasma. The in vivo imaging technology mainly realizes the qualitative detection of drugs in animals by fluorescently labeling the target substance, and is an effective means for drug in vivo tracing. Therefore, this technology can be used to explore the metabolism of new drugs in animals. Chromatography technology has been widely used in the research of fields such as medicine, chemistry, environment, and agronomy due to its advantages of high resolution, wide applicability, strong specificity, and low detection limit. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology combines a chromatograph with a mass spectrometer in series. The mass spectrometer distinguishes chemically or biologically similar proteins and peptides (intact or peptide fragments) according to their different mass-to-charge ratios, improving the analysis sensitivity and specificity for the target substance. In addition, LC-MS uses ion fragments as marker signals, has a higher response to the target substance, and a lower detection limit.
[0004] Currently, there are few analytical methods for detecting polypeptide substances such as antibacterial peptides using high-performance liquid chromatography technology. In the prior art, CN117534742A discloses an extraction, purification, and detection method for antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in feed. This method targets the antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in feed and is not applicable to the detection of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in plasma.

LC-QTOF-MS / MS detection conditions 6.1 Chromatographic conditions Chromatographic column: ACQUITY UPLC BEH C8 Column, 130 Å, 1.7 µm, 2.1 mm×100 mm; Mobile phase A: 100% ultrapure water; Mobile phase B: 100% acetonitrile; Column temperature: 45 °C; Flow rate: 0.3 mL / min; Injection volume: 3 μL; The elution gradient of the chromatographic mobile phase is shown in Table 1.
[0043] Table 1 Elution gradient of the chromatographic mobile phase
[0044] 6.2 Mass spectrometry conditions Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) was adopted, with the electrospray (ES) detection mode of the ion source, curtain gas (CUR) 35 psi, nebulizing gas (GS1) 50 psi, auxiliary heater (GS2) 50 psi, deionized spray voltage (ISV) 5500 V, and ion source temperature (TEM) 450 °C.
[0045] Using the above-mentioned pretreatment and LC-QTOF-MS / MS detection conditions, the specificity, linear relationship, detection limit, quantitation limit, recovery rate, precision, and matrix effect of the detection method were investigated.
[0046] Example 2 In this example, the mass spectrometry precursor ions of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 were determined as follows: Antibacterial peptide NZ2114 was ionized by electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive ion mode to obtain a large number of ion fragments. After scanning by the mass analyzer and ion detector (parallel reaction monitoring, PRM scanning mode), a high-resolution mass spectrometry map of the target peptide segment was collected. Precursor ions with relatively high signal intensities were screened. Three precursor ions with relatively strong signal intensities could be seen from the first-order mass spectrometry map, which were 735.98 m / z ([M+6H]+), 883.03 m / z ([M+5H]+), and 1103.54 m / z ([M+4H]+) respectively. Two precursor ions with high-intensity signals of 735.98 m / z ([M+6H]+) and 883.03 m / z ([M+5H]+) were also screened from the second-order mass spectrometry map. Finally, 735.98 m / z ([M+6H]+) and 883.03 m / z ([M+5H]+) were used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of antibacterial peptide NZ2114.
[0047] Example 3 In this example, the specificity of the detection method was investigated as follows: A certain concentration of NZ2114 standard solution was added to the blank plasma sample to make its final concentration 1080 ng / mL, thus obtaining a 1080 ng / mL NZ2114 standard sample; then a certain volume of standard solution was added to the blank matrix treated by the pretreatment method of Example 1 to make its final concentration 1080 ng / mL, obtaining a blank matrix plus standard sample; finally, a 20 g female SPF mouse was taken, intragastrically injected with 0.5 mL of 1 g / kg antimicrobial peptide NZ2114, blood was taken from the eyeball 1 h later, plasma was taken after centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 10 min, and then detection was carried out according to the detection method of Example 1.
[0048] The detection results are as Figures 1 to 4 shown. The detection results of the treated blank matrix are as Figure 1 shown, Figure 2 showing that the peak emergence time of antimicrobial peptide NZ2114 is 3.5 min, Figure 3 it can be seen from the chromatogram that there are fewer impurity peaks in the chromatographic peaks before 5.3 min and they can be separated from the target peak, so the pretreatment method can effectively reduce the interference of endogenous components in plasma on antimicrobial peptide NZ2114. Figure 4 showing that the peak emergence time of antimicrobial peptide NZ2114 in the biological sample is also 3.5 min and there are no miscellaneous peaks around it, and specific detection of antimicrobial peptide NZ2114 in the biological sample can be achieved.
[0049] Example 4 In this example, the linear relationship of the detection method was investigated, and the steps are as follows: NZ2114 standard solution was added to the blank plasma sample to make its final concentrations 40 ng / mL, 120 ng / mL, 360 ng / mL, 1080 ng / mL, 3140 ng / mL and 9720 ng / mL respectively, and then detection was carried out according to the detection method of Example 1 to obtain the peak area.
[0050] A matrix correction standard curve was established with the added concentration of antimicrobial peptide NZ2114 as the abscissa and the corresponding peak area as the ordinate. The results are as Figure 5 shown. The linear equation is y = 227.79x - 14182, and the correlation coefficient R² is 0.9991, indicating that antimicrobial peptide NZ2114 has a good correlation in the concentration range of 40 - 9720 ng / mL.
[0051] Example 5 In this example, the detection limit and quantification limit of the detection method were investigated, and the steps are as follows: The test was carried out according to the steps of Example 4. When the added concentration was 40 ng / mL, accurate quantification of NZ2114 in plasma could be achieved, and S / N≥10 was satisfied. When the added concentration was 15 ng / mL, S / N≥3. Therefore, 15 ng / mL was taken as the detection limit for the instrument to detect antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in plasma, and 40 ng / mL was taken as the lower limit of quantification for this detection method.
[0052] Example 6 In this example, the recovery rate of the detection method was investigated, and the steps were as follows: A certain concentration of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 solution was added to the blank matrix to obtain low, medium, and high concentration matrix spiked samples with final concentrations of 40 ng / mL, 1080 ng / mL, and 9720 ng / mL respectively. The samples at the three concentration levels were detected according to the detection method of Example 1. The peak areas detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were substituted into the matrix correction standard curve of the current batch to calculate the actual concentration of antibacterial peptide NZ2114. The ratio of the actual concentration to the theoretical concentration was the added recovery rate. The results are shown in Table 2. The added recovery rates of low, medium, and high concentrations were 89.28%, 103.41%, and 94.91% respectively.
[0053] Table 2 Recovery rate test data
[0054] Example 7 In this example, the precision of the detection method was investigated, and the steps were as follows: A certain concentration of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 solution was added to the pre-treated blank matrix to obtain low, medium, and high concentration matrix spiked samples with final concentrations of 40 ng / mL, 1080 ng / mL, and 9720 ng / mL respectively. The samples at the three concentration levels were detected according to the detection method of Example 1. The peak areas were detected on the instrument intra-day and inter-day respectively, substituted into the correction standard curve established in the current batch, and the actual concentration of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 was calculated, and the coefficient of variation (RSD / %) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 3. The intra-day relative errors of low, medium, and high concentration samples were 6.67%, 4.78%, and 2.75% respectively, and the inter-day relative errors were 7.7%, 6.3%, and 6.19% respectively, all lower than 15%. It shows that the precision of this method is good and meets the requirements of the relative standard error (RSD) lower than 15% or 20% in the quantitative analysis method of biological samples.
[0055] Table 3 Precision test data
[0056] Example 8 In this example, the matrix effect of the detection method was investigated, and the steps were as follows: Using the pre-treated blank matrix and acetonitrile as solvents respectively, add antibacterial peptide NZ2114 solutions at certain concentrations to make their final concentrations 40 ng / mL, 1080 ng / mL, and 9720 ng / mL respectively, to obtain matrix-spiked samples and organic-phase spiked samples after low, medium, and high concentration treatments. Detect them on the machine according to the detection method of Example 1 to obtain the peak area of antibacterial peptide NZ2114. The ratio of the latter to the former peak area is the matrix effect value of each concentration sample. The results are shown in Table 4, indicating that there is a certain matrix inhibition effect in low, medium, and high concentration samples, especially in low concentration samples. Therefore, a matrix-corrected standard curve should be used for correction during the determination of biological samples.
[0057] Table 4 Matrix effect test data
[0058] In summary, the present invention has established an LC-QTOF / MS / MS detection method for antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in mouse plasma, and has carried out methodological verification on this method, confirming the feasibility of this method.
[0059] Example 9 In this example, the detection method of Example 1 was used to detect antibacterial peptide NZ2114 in the plasma of mice administered by gavage, and the steps are as follows: After the mice were fasted for 12 h (drinking water freely during this period), the mice were gavaged with 0.5 mL of antibacterial peptide NZ2114 solution at a concentration of 1 g / kg. Blood samples were obtained by eye bleeding at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 12, and 24 h after administration, dropped into EP tubes containing 2% sodium heparin, and inverted up and down to make the blood fully contact with sodium heparin. After standing at 4 °C for 20 - 30 min, centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was transferred to a clean EP tube to obtain plasma samples at each time point, with 3 replicates set at each time point. 100 μL of plasma samples at each time point were taken respectively, and DL-dithiothreitol with a final concentration of 1 mM was added to obtain the biological samples to be detected, and the detection method of Example 1 was used for detection to obtain the blood drug concentration. Using Graphpad Prism software, a blood drug concentration-time curve was plotted with the administration time as the abscissa and the blood drug concentration as the ordinate, as Figure 6 shown.
[0060] It can be seen that after the 1 g / kg antibacterial peptide NZ2114 solution was administered to mice by gavage, the drug showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing twice in their bodies, and the drug-time curve finally tended to be stable. From the drug-time curve, it can be seen that the metabolic times of 4.5 h and 6 h are the two peaks respectively, so the drug-time curve shows a bimodal shape.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
