Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorption resin technology, specifically relating to amino-containing bilirubin adsorption resin. Background Technology
[0002] Bilirubin is a metabolic byproduct produced by the breakdown of aging red blood cells in the human body. Excessive accumulation can be toxic to organs and tissues, leading to serious conditions such as liver failure and neonatal jaundice. The clearance of bilirubin mainly relies on the synergistic action of the liver, intestines, and kidneys, and is also influenced by the body's metabolic state.
[0003] Under normal circumstances, the liver is the core organ for clearing bilirubin, and the intestines and kidneys also participate in the final excretion. If there is an abnormality in the body, bilirubin will accumulate in the body and cause jaundice. Common causes include: excessive production, liver processing disorders, and obstructed excretion. Therefore, there is an urgent need for efficient auxiliary clearance methods.
[0004] Bilirubin is lipid-soluble and readily binds to albumin, making it difficult to remove effectively with conventional hemodialysis. Adsorption technology uses physical or chemical interactions (such as hydrophobic binding, electrostatic attraction, and specific binding) between the adsorbent and bilirubin to "capture" and remove it from the blood.
[0005] Commonly used adsorbents include activated carbon and resins, but existing adsorbents or adsorption methods have many drawbacks. For example, activated carbon has high adsorption efficiency but poor biocompatibility, and carbon particle shedding can easily cause thrombosis; although resins can remove bilirubin, they disrupt electrolyte balance and cause severe platelet loss; drugs and conventional hemodialysis have limited bilirubin removal rates, especially for conjugated bilirubin. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an adsorbent material with good bilirubin adsorption properties and few side effects. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for synthesizing a resin containing amino functional groups and its application. The resin synthesized by this invention has a specific surface area of 450-600 m². 2 With a single particle strength greater than 6N, the resin of this invention can effectively capture bilirubin from a relatively long distance. The bilirubin adsorption capacity of the resin is 35.0-45.0 mg / g.
[0007] A method for synthesizing resins containing amino functional groups includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of aqueous phase: After adding water to the reactor and heating, add polyvinyl alcohol and stir until completely dissolved. Add magnesium sulfate and sodium carbonate and continue stirring until completely dissolved for later use. Add 25-35 grams of polyvinyl alcohol, 25-35 grams of magnesium sulfate, and 55-65 grams of sodium carbonate per liter of water to the aqueous phase.
[0008] (2) Preparation of oil phase: Divinylbenzene, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, styrene, dichlorohexane, toluene and dodecyl peroxide are mixed evenly to form the oil phase; The mass ratio of divinylbenzene, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, styrene, dichlorohexane, toluene, and dodecyl peroxide in the oil phase is 8-12:12-18:3-8:12-18:25-35:1.
[0009] (3) Polymerization: Slowly add the oil phase to the aqueous phase, stir until constant, and continue stirring at a constant speed for 10 min; raise the temperature from 45℃ to 78℃ at a rate of 5℃ / 10 min, and after the resin has set for 3 h, continue to raise the temperature from 78℃ to 85℃ at a rate of 5℃ / 10 min, keep it at the temperature for 2 hours, and continue to raise the temperature from 85℃ to 95℃ at a rate of 5℃ / 10 min, keep it at the temperature for 6 h, and then take it out. The mass ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is 3-4:1.
[0010] (4) Extraction of porogen: Dry the above-synthesized resin to a moisture content of less than 10%, and sieve the resin with a particle size of 0.5-1.25 mm using a sieve separator; put the sieved resin into a container, add ethyl acetate, the amount of ethyl acetate should cover the resin, heat to 50°C, turn on the stirring, extract for 4 hours, then replace with new ethyl acetate and continue extraction, repeat 6 times to complete the extraction of porogen. (5) Under ice-melting conditions, the resin from which the porogen was extracted was added to tetrahydrofuran to fully swell, and NaH was added. The mixture was stirred at 0°C until the reaction was complete. 1,2-dibromoethane was added, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 24 hours under dry conditions. After the reaction was completed, the resin was filtered out and washed with tetrahydrofuran. Then it was extracted with anhydrous ethanol for 23 hours. In this step, the mass ratio of resin to tetrahydrofuran is 3:4-6, and the amounts of NaH and 1,2-dibromoethane added are both 45%-55% of the resin mass in this step.
[0011] (6) After the above-extracted resin is fully swollen with anhydrous ethanol, ammonia and ethylenediamine are added and reacted at 65°C for 24 hours. The resin is washed with water, and then the organic solvents and impurities outside the resin skeleton are extracted with anhydrous ethanol. The ethanol is washed away with purified water to obtain the resin containing amino groups. In this step, the resin and ethylenediamine have the same mass, and the amount of ammonia added is 50% of the mass of ethylenediamine.
[0012] The present invention also provides the application of the resin synthesized above in bilirubin adsorption.
[0013] The ammonia water used in this invention is conventional ammonia water with a concentration of 25%-28%.
[0014] The divinylbenzene raw material used in this invention has a divinylbenzene mass percentage of 80%, the hydroxyethyl methacrylate raw material has a hydroxyethyl methacrylate mass percentage of 99%, the styrene raw material has a styrene mass percentage of 99%, the dichloroethane raw material has a dichloroethane mass percentage of 99%, the toluene raw material has a toluene mass percentage of 99%, and the dodecyl peroxide raw material has a dodecyl peroxide mass percentage of 90%.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The polymerization process utilizes two benign porogens, dichloroethane and toluene, to create pores. This results in a larger resin specific surface area, a longer resin phase separation time, longer polymer chains, and a more uniform pore structure, which is beneficial for bilirubin adsorption. The use of benign porogens also results in relatively smaller resin pores, preventing the adsorption of beneficial proteins (albumin). Additionally, the use of dodecyl peroxide extends the resin setting time, increasing resin strength. The synthesized resin has a specific surface area of 450-600 m². 2 / g, single particle strength greater than 6N.
[0016] 2. 1,2-Dibromoethane is selected as the linker arm. One end of the dibromoethane is grafted onto the resin skeleton, and the other end is combined with an amino group. This is equivalent to an amino-containing arm growing on the resin skeleton, which allows the functional group (amino group) to extend and effectively capture bilirubin at a greater distance.
[0017] 3. The resin of this invention mainly uses amino adsorption. The selected molecules containing two amino groups can combine with the grafted 1,2-dibromoethane on the one hand, and contribute functional amino groups on the other hand. The bilirubin adsorption capacity of this invention is 35.0-45.0 mg / g. Detailed Implementation
