Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analysis and detection, and in particular to a method for detecting enantiomers of acetylcysteine injection. Background Art

[0002] Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent with a strong dissolving effect on both white and thick sputum. The sulfhydryl groups in its molecule can cleave disulfide bonds within glycoprotein polypeptide chains in sputum, thereby reducing sputum viscosity and liquefying it for easier expectoration. It can also cleave DNA fibers in purulent sputum, thus dissolving both white, sticky, and purulent sputum. Acetylcysteine contains a chiral center and exists in two configurations: L- and D-cysteine, respectively. The L-configuration is the active configuration, while the D-configuration should be controlled as an impurity.

[0003] Acetylcysteine has been used as a medication for nearly 60 years (approved for marketing in September 1963). It is the acetylated form of the non-essential amino acid L-cysteine. Currently, acetylcysteine is available in the market in injections, inhalers, tablets, and granules.

[0004] The enantiomers acetyl-D-cysteine and acetyl-L-cysteine share the same functional groups and similar physical and chemical properties. They are also unstable to oxygen and high temperatures. Therefore, the detection of enantiomers is particularly important in the quality control of acetylcysteine injection. Existing detection methods have the following problems:

[0005] Sample pretreatment is complex, and some samples require derivatization. Acetylcysteine injection has a high water content, and most normal-phase chromatography systems are hydrophobic, and most chromatographic columns are not water-resistant. No solutions have been reported in the literature.

[0006] The insufficient separation of the enantiomer peaks results in low accuracy of the test results, which is insufficient to meet the requirements of quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The sample pretreatment in the prior art is complex, and some require derivatization operations; acetylcysteine injection has a high water content, and most normal phase chromatography systems are hydrophobic systems, and most chromatographic columns are not water-resistant.
