Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a method and application for simultaneously detecting the contents of saponin immunopotentiators and lipids in a composite adjuvant or a product containing the composite adjuvant. Background Art

[0002] Quillaja saponaria saponin QS-21 is an immunopotentiator extracted from the bark of the Chilean soap tree, Quillaja saponaria. QS-21 stimulates Th2 and Th1 immune responses by acting on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T cells. QS-21 also activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to the release of caspase-1-dependent cytokines, IL-1β, and IL-18. In aqueous solution, the QS-21 A isomer partially converts to the QS-21 B isomer, but the QS-21 A isomer remains the predominant molecular form. Both the QS-21 A and QS-21 B isomers exhibit equivalent adjuvant activity.

[0003] Quillaja saponin QS-7 is also an immune enhancer extracted from the bark of the Chilean soap tree, Quillaja saponaria. Its content in the bark is lower than that of Quillaja saponin QS-21. Quillaja saponin QS-7 has similar immune-enhancing effects to Quillaja saponin QS-21, but is less toxic. As saponin component A, Quillaja saponin QS-7 has been used in Matrix-M TM Composite adjuvant.

[0004] Lipids include phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, steroids and sterols, lipoproteins and other compounds. Liposomes containing lipids phospholipids and sterols have been widely used in drugs and vaccines.

[0005] QS-21, MPL and neutral liposomes are AS01 ® The key components of the adjuvant system; QS-21, QS-7 and neutral liposomes are the key components of Matrix-M TM Neutral liposomes (containing lipid dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and lipid cholesterol) are used together with saponin immunopotentiators QS-21 and QS-7 in vaccines. This is primarily to eliminate the hemolytic activity of QS-21 and QS-7 and reduce clinical side effects of the vaccine. The combination of saponin immunopotentiators and neutral liposomes has been used in a number of approved vaccines, such as GSK's Shingrix. ® Arexvy ® 、Mosquirix(RTS,S / AS01 ®) vaccines, Novavax's NVX-CoV2373 vaccine, and the R21 / Matrix-M developed and produced by the University of Oxford and the Serum Institute of India. TM vaccine.

[0006] In addition, more vaccines containing saponin immunopotentiators QS-21 and / or QS-7 and neutral liposomes / cationic liposomes are in clinical trial and non-clinical trial studies: clinical trial studies see NCT00470574, NCT00000809, NCT00001044, NCT00006387, NCT05841550, NCT05270265, NCT03293498, CTR20233995, CTR20241986, CTR20243742, CTR20243851, CTR20244652, etc.; non-clinical trial studies see CN116350770B, CN114767844A, CN115894707A, CN116747298B and CN117003896 B, etc.

[0007] In order to control the quality of vaccines, it is necessary to test the content of the main adjuvant components in the vaccine. ® In the quality control of Shingrix, two different liquid chromatography methods were used to detect the content of saponin immunopotentiator (QS-21) and lipids (dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol). ® The methods for determining the content of saponin immunopotentiators (QS-21) and lipids (dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol) in vaccines are cumbersome, time-consuming, material-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
