Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food detection, and in particular to a method for rapid qualitative identification of sildenafil compounds in food based on nuclear magnetic resonance technology. Background Art
[0002] Food safety is a serious challenge facing society today. Adding harmful substances to food for profit is a common occurrence, and ensuring the safety of residents is urgent. Sildenafil-like substances are non-food ingredients that are expressly prohibited by the state from being added to food and health supplements. However, current market research indicates that many unscrupulous businesses still add sildenafil-like substances to food or food ingredients. Rapid detection of their presence is crucial for ensuring food safety.
[0003] Currently, conventional detection methods include HPLC / LC-MS / MS methods, which usually require the preparation of a large number of solvents or eluents during the experimental stage, including high-risk reagents such as hydrochloric acid and formic acid, posing potential risks to the health and safety of experimental personnel. Moreover, existing technologies usually require standard samples of target compounds as controls to establish qualitative and quantitative methods, which hinders the qualitative identification of unknown compounds in real cases. In addition, the HSQC method has a long sampling time, complicated experimental parameters, and requires a specific pulse sequence, which increases the time and labor costs of detection. Moreover, the results are not subjected to mathematical and statistical analysis, which may increase the risk of misjudgment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art to a certain extent. To this end, one object of the present invention is to provide a method for rapid qualitative identification of sildenafil compounds in food based on nuclear magnetic resonance technology.
[0005] The present invention proposes a rapid qualitative identification method for sildenafil compounds in food based on nuclear magnetic resonance technology, which comprises: Collect standard spectra of sildenafil compounds, process them with topspin / CMC-assist software, and then import them into AssureNMR to establish a standard NMR spectrum library of sildenafil compounds. The sildenafil sample spectrum to be tested was imported and simulated matched with the database results.
[0006] According to the rapid qualitative identification method of the above-mentioned sildenafil compounds provided by the present invention, the sildenafil compound standard sample spectrum is first processed by topspin / CMC-assist software for data acquisition, and the data is Fourier transformed and then automatically and manually phase corrected and baseline calibrated. The HSQC spectra of the obtained multiple sildenafil compounds are superimposed and compared, and then the AssureNMR software tool is used for data processing to establish a sildenafil substance standard nuclear magnetic spectrum library. Finally, the sildenafil sample spectrum to be tested is imported into the AssureNMR software, and the current data is processed using the Amix window.
[0007] The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum of sildenafil standard is as follows Figure 1 shown.
[0008] The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum of pretreated sildenafil is as follows Figure 2 shown.
[0009] Several characteristic chemical shifts in the hydrogen spectrum of sildenafil-like substances are as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0010] The quantile chart of the sildenafil substance library is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0011] Specifically, the characteristic chemical shifts selected from the standard nuclear magnetic spectrum library of sildenafil-like substances are as follows: .
[0012] The spectrum of the sample to be tested is imported into the AssureNMR software. If the above characteristic peaks exist in the sample to be tested at the same time, it means that the sample to be tested contains sildenafil-like substances.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation process of the sildenafil compound standard sample includes: weighing the sildenafil compound standard sample and dissolving it with DMSO-d6, and then transferring it to a nuclear magnetic resonance tube for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
[0014] Specifically, the preparation process of the sildenafil compound standard sample includes: weighing 5.0 mg of the sildenafil compound standard sample and dissolving it with 500 μL of DMSO-d6, and then transferring it to a nuclear magnetic resonance tube for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sildenafil compound standard sample includes at least sildenafil, narmosildenafil, homosildenafil, desmethylsildenafil, erythrodenafil, erythrodenafil, vardenafil, carbadenafil, phenylpropylcarbadenafil, sildenafil dimer, thio-edenafil and O-propyl-desmethylcarbadenafil.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation process of the sildenafil test sample includes: accurately weighing the test sample into a plastic stoppered centrifuge tube, adding an organic solvent, ultrasonically extracting and centrifuging the sample, taking the supernatant, concentrating it under reduced pressure, dissolving it with DMSO-d6, and transferring it to a nuclear magnetic resonance tube for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
[0017] Specifically, the preparation process of the sildenafil test sample includes: accurately weighing 5.0 g of the test sample into a 15 mL plastic stoppered centrifuge tube, adding 10 mL of an organic solvent, ultrasonically extracting the sample for 5 minutes, centrifuging the sample at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, taking the supernatant, concentrating it under reduced pressure, dissolving it with 500 μL of DMSO-d6, and transferring it to a nuclear magnetic resonance tube for nuclear magnetic resonance analysis; Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from dichloromethane, dichloroethane or methanol, more preferably dichloromethane. Extracting the sample with DCM can reduce interference from some water-soluble impurities or baselines and improve sample resolution.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nuclear magnetic resonance measurement is performed using a Bruker Avance III HD 600 MHz Fourier transform superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.
[0019] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main parameters of the Bruker Avance III HD 600 MHz Fourier transform superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer are as follows: Lock temperature: 298K; Time domain points: 64K; Pulse sequence: zg; spectral width: 20ppm; Scan times: 16 times; Spectrum center: 6.175ppm; Number of empty sweeps: 2 times; relaxation time: 1.0s.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main parameter information of the standard nuclear magnetic spectrum library of sildenafil-like substances is as follows: .
[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, standard data is imported and a classification matching method is established with the following parameters: (1) Classification method: k-nearest neighbor algorithm; (2) Classification options: Pareto scaling; minimum explained variance -95%; number of neighbors; (3) Confusion matrix: shows multiple / no assignment; minimum assignment probability - 95%; (4) Cross-validation: set aside 1% of the model table as the mode; Monte Carlo step -1.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the structure of sildenafil-like substances can be identified by a matching analysis method; the analysis method includes a k-nearest neighbor algorithm, a PLS analysis method, a SIMCA analysis method, or a PCA analysis method.
[0023] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: (1) After the database of some sildenafil-like substances is completed, subsequent testing does not require standard samples of a specific substance, saving a lot of money on purchasing standard samples and waiting time. In addition, rapid testing and identification can be performed without standard samples, effectively deterring criminals from modifying compound groups to evade supervision.
[0024] (2) Due to the high sensitivity of hydrogen atom abundance, the nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum has a shorter scanning time than the two-dimensional spectrum, which significantly reduces the time and labor costs and makes the detection faster and more rapid.
[0025] (3) Nuclear magnetic resonance uses non-destructive testing technology, which facilitates sample recovery and subsequent experiments.
[0026] (4) Use different models and multiple sample references to support the matching results and reduce the risk of misjudgment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
