Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a fat emulsion injection, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] O / W lipid emulsions are oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions with an average particle size of 0.1 to 1 μm, made from an oil phase, an aqueous phase, and an emulsifier. Nutritional lipid emulsions and drug-loaded lipid emulsions, for example, are widely used in clinical practice.
[0003] As a drug delivery system, O / W fat emulsion has certain wound targeting properties, especially high affinity for inflammation and wound sites. It can selectively accumulate at inflammation and wound sites, increase the concentration of drugs in local tissues, avoid direct contact between drugs and body fluids, and reduce irritation at the injection site.
[0004] Because fat emulsions are submicron emulsions, they are thermodynamically unstable and can exhibit instabilities such as aggregation and flocculation. The presence of emulsion particles in the product can affect product yield and content. Furthermore, the presence of emulsion particles can lead to further aggregation, resulting in large emulsions, which can pose a risk of blood vessel occlusion during injection. Furthermore, during the preparation and storage of fat emulsions, the formulation, preparation process, and storage temperature can all affect their stability. Therefore, selecting an appropriate stabilizer can help improve the physical stability of fat emulsions.
[0005] The dosage of lipid substances in fat emulsion prescriptions is high and easily contaminated by microorganisms in the external environment. Therefore, the fat emulsion injections used in clinical practice are mostly single-dose packaging, which cannot meet the needs of multiple use of some drugs and will also cause a certain amount of drug waste. Among the intravenous fat emulsion products that have been launched on the market, Disodium EDTA (US5714520A) has been added, but the antibacterial effect of disodium EDTA is low and it can only delay but not inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the product. It must be used within 12 hours after opening. The use of 2% benzyl alcohol in the prescription of PROPOFOL 28 for pets cannot effectively inhibit mold. US6140373A also discloses further improvements, such as adding other additives on the basis of benzyl alcohol, such as EDTA and sodium benzoate with antibacterial effects. However, it still does not meet the requirements of the pharmacopoeia (the bacterial lg value decreases by 3 in 7 days). At the same time, there is a risk of cardiac and nervous system toxicity when the dosage of benzyl alcohol is too high (Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery 14(8)516–526; European Medicines Agency 1997 Drug Review Report).
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fat emulsion injection with good antibacterial efficacy, higher safety and stability to meet the needs of multiple clinical uses. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The stabilizer added to the fat emulsion injection of the present invention is intended to increase the stability of the fat emulsion injection.

[0057] Antibacterial agents are usually added to fat emulsion injections to ensure their quality and safety. The stabilizer chloromethyl phenol in the present application itself has certain antibacterial activity, and can enhance the antibacterial efficacy of the preparation product through synergistic effect with other antibacterial agents, especially the antibacterial activity against molds is superior to that reported in the prior art (US6140373A), thereby reducing the probability of contamination by microorganisms in the external environment after opening the preparation. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the stabilizer and the antibacterial agent reduces the amount of the antibacterial agent. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0109] Test Example 1: Stability Test
[0110] This test example compares the stability of the fat emulsion injections of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-11.
[0111] All samples were sterilized, cooled to room temperature, and placed at room temperature for 1-3 hours before testing.
[0112] The stability results of fat emulsion injection are shown in Table 3 below.

[0115] Note: Oil droplets can be observed visually under illumination. "—" indicates no oil droplets were observed, "+" indicates a small amount of oil droplets were observed, and "++" indicates significant oil droplets were observed. The emulsion particle size distribution was determined using a Malvern MS3000 particle size analyzer.
[0116] The above test results show that: (1) No obvious oil droplets were observed in Examples 1-9, and the absolute value of their Zeta potential was significantly greater than that of Comparative Examples 1-10 (see the results in Figure 1 , significant difference: p = 1.82 × 10 -12), indicating that the addition of chlorocresol can significantly increase the stability of the emulsion particles in the fat emulsion; (2) In Examples 2 and 3, the amount of chlorocresol is increased and the amount of sodium oleate is reduced, and the emulsification effect of Example 1 can also be achieved, proving that chlorocresol can partially replace the emulsifier sodium oleate and has the effect of increasing the stability of the emulsion; (3) Examples 1, 8, and 9 show that under the preparation method of the present invention, the same prescription can obtain a stable emulsion without oil droplets; (4) Comparative Examples 1-10 do not add chlorocresol, and their emulsification effects are inferior to those of Examples 1-9, with clearly visible oil droplets; (5) The particle size distribution of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that the fat emulsion obtained in Example 1 has a uniform particle size distribution, while the fat emulsion obtained in Comparative Example 2 has an uneven particle size distribution. The above experimental results show that chlorocresol as a stabilizer can significantly increase the stability of fat emulsion injection. (6) Comparative Example 11 uses more than 5% of antibacterial agent, and the emulsion emulsification effect is very poor, with a large number of oil droplets.
[0117] Test Example 2: Antibacterial efficacy test
[0118] The antibacterial efficacy of the fat emulsion injections of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-10 was tested according to Section 1121 of Part IV of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition). The steps of culture medium preparation, bacterial solution preparation, suitability test, test sample inoculation, antibacterial efficacy determination, and surviving bacterial count determination were described in Section 1121 of Part IV of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition).
[0119] The criteria for determining antibacterial efficacy are shown in Table 4 below, where "A" represents the desired antibacterial efficacy standard. In exceptional cases, if the antibacterial agent may increase the risk of adverse reactions, the antibacterial efficacy standard "B" should be met. For example, if the antibacterial agent may increase the risk of adverse reactions, the antibacterial efficacy standard should be at least 3% of the lg value within 7 days.

[0123] Note: NR test bacteria did not recover growth.
[0124] NI did not increase, which means that the amount of test bacteria increased by no more than 0.51g compared with the previous measurement time.
[0125] The results of the comparison of the antibacterial efficacy of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1, 2, 4, and 10 are shown in Table 5 below.

[0128]
[0129] Note: NI stands for no increase, meaning the number of test bacteria increased by no more than 0.5 log relative to the previous measurement time. " / " indicates that the number of colonies is too large to be counted.
[0130] The antibacterial test data show that the antibacterial effects of Examples 1-3 on Aspergillus niger, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7 days, 14 days, and 28 days) are all better than those of Comparative Examples 1, 2, 4, and 10. This indicates that the synergistic antibacterial effect of chlorocresol and benzyl alcohol is better than that of Comparative Example 1 (single antibacterial agent, benzyl alcohol), better than that of Comparative Example 2 (synergistic antibacterial agents, methylparaben and propylparaben), and better than that of Comparative Example 4 (synergistic antibacterial agents, ethanol and benzyl alcohol), and Comparative Example 10 (synergistic antibacterial agents, ethanol and propylparaben) is optimized.
