Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a drug detection method, and more particularly to a method for determining the iron content in etimicin sulfate. Background Technology
[0002] Etimicin sulfate is a chemical substance, with the English name Etimicin Sulfate, CAS number 362045-44-1, molecular weight 1445.58, and molecular formula (C 21 H 43 N5O7)2·5H2SO4, its structural formula is as follows:
[0003]
[0004] Etimicin sulfate is an aminoglycoside semi-synthetic antibiotic, suitable for various infections caused by susceptible Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia spp., Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Acinetobacter spp., Proteus spp., Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.
[0005] To improve product quality and control heavy metal content, a method for determining the iron content in etimicin sulfate was developed.
[0006] The Chinese Pharmacopoeia publishes the principles for determining iron content in drugs. These principles apply to the determination of aluminum, chromium, iron, and barium in traditional Chinese medicines, excluding mineral drugs or preparations containing mineral drugs, and can be used in conjunction with the methods for determining lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and copper (General Rule 2321). The preferred basic method is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which involves simultaneous determination of multiple elements (General Rule 0412). Other methods with comparable sensitivity to ICP-MS can also be used.
[0007] GB 5009.90-2016, the national food safety standard, specifies methods for determining the iron content in food, such as flame atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
[0008] Chinese patent CN103499482A discloses a sample digestion method for determining the iron content in drugs. This invention uses nitric acid with a concentration of 15-40%, and the iron in the drug can be completely digested through soaking and boiling reflux. The digested sample solution can be diluted and then further subjected to atomic absorption spectrophotometry for iron content determination.
[0009] Chinese patent CN102841176A discloses a method for detecting the iron content in the Tibetan medicine composition Zhenlong Xingnao capsules and its preparations, which uses a mercury-free potassium dichromate titration method to detect the iron content in the Tibetan medicine composition Zhenlong Xingnao capsules.

[0022] In this invention, the diluent in step 1 is a nitric acid solution, preferably a nitric acid solution with a volume ratio of 5-15%, and most preferably a nitric acid solution with a volume ratio of 10%. In this invention, the preparation of the test sample solution in step 2 involves dissolving etimicin sulfate raw material or a pharmaceutical preparation containing etimicin sulfate using a diluent, and, if necessary, processing it by filtration or centrifugation, to obtain the test sample solution. Preferably, the concentration of the test sample solution in this invention is 0.01-0.1% by weight / volume, and most preferably 0.2%. This invention further provides a method for preparing an iron element standard curve. The method includes accurately weighing 0.5 ml of iron element standard solution, placing it in a 50 ml plastic volumetric flask, diluting it to the mark with the diluent prepared in this invention, and shaking well to obtain a reference standard stock solution; further preparing five test solutions of different concentrations, detecting them using the detection conditions of the atomic absorption spectrometer described in this invention, obtaining spectra, and plotting the correspondence between the spectral data of the spectra and the concentrations of the test solutions using analytical geometry to form a standard curve.
[0023] In this invention, the determination in step 3 involves injecting the test sample solution using the detection conditions of the atomic absorption spectrometer described in this invention to obtain spectral data, and then converting the spectral data into the iron content of the test sample solution based on its position on the standard curve.
