Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drug detection and testing technology, and in particular relates to an HPLC method for detecting histamine content in tylosin tartrate. Background Technology
[0002] Tylosin tartrate is a macrolide antibiotic, specifically designed to combat mycoplasma, Gram-positive bacteria, and some Gram-negative bacteria. It boasts a broad antibacterial spectrum and low toxicity. As a widely used veterinary antibiotic internationally, tylosin tartrate is commonly added to livestock and poultry feed. Its main indications are diarrhea and respiratory diseases caused by susceptible bacteria and mycoplasma. Adding tylosin to feed can significantly promote growth rate and shorten the feeding cycle.
[0003] Histamine is a biogenic amine found in many plants and animals. Small amounts of histamine play an important regulatory role in responses and inflammation, but excessive amounts can lead to histamine poisoning. High concentrations of histamine are often found in fermented products. Most veterinary drugs are processed through fermentation, but there are currently no regulations specifying the limits for histamine in veterinary drugs. Organic impurities in these drugs can cause significant interference, and a mature and efficient method for measuring histamine content in veterinary drugs is lacking. Since conventional spectroscopic methods are easily affected by impurities, this paper uses high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the histamine content in tylosin tartrate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting histamine content in tylosin tartrate. The method uses high performance liquid chromatography to detect histamine content in tylosin tartrate. By optimizing the process steps and gradient elution conditions, the separation degree can be improved and the analysis time can be shortened.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] An HPLC method for detecting histamine content in tylosin tartrate includes:

Then add 2.5g of sodium chloride and continue to shake to dissolve, obtaining the solution.
[0019] ② Transfer the solution collected in step ① into a separatory funnel, add diethyl ether for two extractions, allow to stand and separate the layers, and then combine the extracts to obtain the final extract.
[0020] ③ Evaporate the extract obtained in step ② to dryness in a water bath, then add 2 mL of methanol to completely dissolve it, thus obtaining the test solution.
[0021] The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution mentioned in step ① is 2-3 mol / L.
[0022] The constant temperature oscillator in step ① operates under the following conditions: oscillation time 20-30 min, temperature 37℃, rotation speed 200 rpm. When the oscillation reaches the middle of the time, 2.5 g of sodium chloride is added and oscillation continues to dissolve.
[0023] In step ①, the extraction reagent is diethyl ether, and the extraction is performed by shaking twice, 5 mL each time, for 3 min.

[0052] Example 1
[0053] The HPLC determination of histamine content in tylosin tartrate is performed according to the following steps:
[0054] Chromatographic conditions
[0055] Chromatographic column: C18 column, dimensions: 4.6*150mm, particle size: 5μm; flow rate: 1.0mL / min, wavelength: 254nm, column temperature: 35℃, injection volume: 10μL, with gradient elution.
[0056]
[0057] ① Preparation of the test sample: Weigh 0.4 g of tylosin, dissolve it in 5 mL of water, and add an equal volume of 10% trichloroacetic acid while shaking. After filtration, add 5 mL of 2 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution and 0.3 mL of benzoyl chloride. Place the solution in a constant temperature shaker and shake at 37°C for 10 min. Then add 2.5 g of sodium chloride and continue shaking for 10 min to dissolve it. Transfer the dissolved solution to a separatory funnel and extract it twice with diethyl ether, 3 min each time. Evaporate the extracted solution to dryness in a 50°C water bath, add 2 mL of methanol to dissolve and mix the residue to obtain the test sample solution.
[0058] ② Preparation of histamine standard solutions: Prepare 2.5 mL of standard stock solutions with concentrations of 0.0008 mg / mL, 0.004 mg / mL, 0.008 mg / mL, 0.012 mg / mL, and 0.016 mg / mL, respectively. Then add the same volume of 10% trichloroacetic acid solution to each stock solution. Repeat the subsequent steps of the test solution preparation to obtain the standard solutions.
[0059] ③ Blank solution: Take 2.5 mL of water, add the same volume of 10% trichloroacetic acid solution, and repeat the subsequent steps of the test sample preparation to obtain the blank solution.
[0060] ④ Determination: Measure 10 μL each of the blank solution, standard solution, and test solution, inject them into the HPLC system, and record the chromatograms. Plot a linear graph with histamine peak area on the ordinate and concentration on the abscissa. Calculate the histamine content in the test sample based on the peak area using the standard curve method.
[0061] This embodiment discloses a method for detecting histamine in tylosin tartrate. During the experiment, an internal standard method was used to plot a standard curve for histamine content. Currently, there is no HPLC method for detecting histamine in tylosin tartrate, and other methods use external standard methods to plot standard curves. Compared to these, the internal standard method is more accurate and reliable. The selection of extraction reagents, extraction methods, and HPLC detection conditions were determined to ensure good HPLC resolution and effective detection of histamine content in tylosin tartrate.
[0062] The results show that the standard curve is Y = 5001.1x + 7.7912, with good linearity and R0. 2 =0.9992. A certain concentration of histamine standard was added to tylosin tartrate, and the sample was detected according to the established HPLC method. The same sample was injected five times consecutively, and the RSD of the HPLC precision was 0.13%. The same sample was injected at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours, and the RSD of the sample stability was 1.25%. The experiment proved that the method established in this example has high accuracy, strong specificity, and good reproducibility, and can effectively detect the histamine content in tylosin tartrate.
[0063] Method Validation
[0064] The prepared histamine standard was diluted 10, 20, 50, 80, 100 and 200 times respectively, and then added to the test sample of this experiment. The test was performed using the detection method of this experiment. The experiment was repeated 3 times to obtain the recovery rate and standard deviation. The histamine content in the sample was calculated according to formula (I).
[0065]
[0066] In the formula: X — the histamine content in tylosin tartrate, in units of (μg / g);
[0067] C—The concentration of histamine in tylosin in the sample solution is (detection peak area - 7.7912) / 5001.1 * 0.04, in units of (μg / μL);
[0068] m — the mass of the sample, in grams (g);
[0069] V – Volume of the sample solution, in milliliters (mL);
[0070] When the concentration of the standard solution added to the sample solution was between 0.0008 and 0.016 mg / mL, the average recovery rate of histamine in tylosin tartrate ranged from 97.89% to 101.24%. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.04 μg / mL using a standard solution concentration with a signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of 3:1 as the standard concentration, and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.77 μg / mL using a standard solution concentration with a signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of 10:1 as the standard concentration.
