Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of A01P13 / 00, more particularly to a dispersible oil suspension containing a benzylazole and a method for preparing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Benzylazole can be combined with glyphosate to produce significant synergistic effects, effectively improving the immediate and sustained effects, and can be used to prepare formulations such as dispersible oil suspensions, suspensions, aqueous emulsions, water-dispersible granules, granules, etc. However, the addition of high glyphosate content makes it easy for pipe clogging to occur during the production process, and dispersible oil suspensions can cause problems such as pasting and degradation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN113491269A provides a herbicide composition containing benzylazole, glyphosate, a surfactant, a pH adjuster, a structure stabilizer, a solvent and an oil base. However, there is a risk of pasting even in scale-up experiments in the production process, and the large number of components leads to a decrease in production efficiency. In addition, depending on the raw materials and preparation method, the composition may cause pipe clogging problems.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a dispersible oil suspension containing benzylazole and glyphosate ammonium salt, which can reduce the number of raw materials and solve the problems of pasting, clogging of pipes, etc. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In response to some of the problems present in the prior art, a first aspect of the present invention provides a benzylazole-containing dispersible oil suspension comprising as ingredients, by weight, 22-44 parts of glyphosate ammonium salt, 0.5-1.5 parts of benzylazole, 3-8 parts of a wetting and dispersing agent, 10-15 parts of an emulsifier, 1-2 parts of a structure modifier, and 100 parts of a supplemental solvent.

[0006] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the glyphosate ammonium salt to benzylazole is (28-38:1), preferably 33:1.

[0007] In one embodiment, the wetting and dispersing agent is one or more of sulfonate, polycarboxylate, and sulfate dispersants, preferably, the wetting and dispersing agent is one or more selected from TSC-930, SP-OF3498D, GY-EM05, and WELOD461.

[0008] In one embodiment, the emulsifier is one or more selected from OD21, ODE286, TSC901.

[0009] In one embodiment, when the emulsifier is OD21, the wetting and dispersing agent is one or more selected from TSC-930, SP-OF3498D, GY-EM05, when the emulsifier is ODE286, the wetting and dispersing agent is SP-OF3498D, when the emulsifier is TSC901, the wetting and dispersing agent is SP-OF3498D.

[0010] Preferably, the weight ratio of the wetting / dispersing agent to the emulsifying agent is 5:(11 to 14), more preferably 5:12.

[0011] The applicant unexpectedly discovered through experiments that by selecting the combination of emulsifier and wetting dispersant of a specific type and mixing ratio in this application, under the condition of the presence of a small number of auxiliary agents, the obtained dispersible oil suspension has better viscosity, is free from the risk of pasting during the grinding process and at room temperature, and reduces the decomposition rate of benzylazole after hot / low temperature storage, thereby extending the shelf life. The applicant believes that the possible reasons are the system formed by the specific wetting dispersant and emulsifier, the interaction between the long carbon chains, and the polar groups carried by the specific wetting dispersant and emulsifier can enhance the dispersion stability between the pharmaceutical ingredient molecules through the comb structure of the wetting dispersant, thereby avoiding the escape of the benzylazole molecules under extreme conditions.

[0012] In one embodiment, the structure modifier is white carbon black and / or organobentonite.

[0013] Preferably, the structure-controlling agent is white carbon black and organic bentonite in a weight ratio of (1-3):1, more preferably in a weight ratio of (1-2):1.

[0014] The applicant unexpectedly found through experiments that under the condition of the presence of the specific auxiliary in the present application, a small amount of solids would aggregate at the bottom of the obtained dispersible oil suspension, and even after adding organic bentonite, a small amount of solids would aggregate at the bottom. To solve the situation of solid aggregation, those skilled in the art usually improve the dispersibility of the raw pharmaceutical ingredients by adjusting the auxiliary to be added. However, the applicant found that adjusting the specific auxiliary in the present application would cause high oil deposition rate and decomposition problem of benzylazole under hot / low temperature storage conditions. The applicant unexpectedly found that when the structure modifier is white carbon black and organic bentonite in a weight ratio of (1-2):1, under the condition of blending the specific wetting dispersant and emulsifier auxiliary in the present application, the obtained dispersible oil suspension has no solids aggregate at its bottom, and at the same time does not affect the oil deposition property and cold resistance and heat resistance of the dispersible oil suspension in the present application, and avoids the impact of the structure modifier on the oil deposition property and cold resistance and heat resistance. The applicant believes that the possible cause is that, under the conditions of the presence of the specific wetting and dispersing agent and emulsifying agent in this application, the specific weight ratio of white carbon black and organic bentonite forms a three-dimensional structure in the oleic acid methyl ester solvent, maintains a constant viscosity, and there is no risk of pasting.

[0015] In addition, the applicant unexpectedly discovered that, by the combination of the specific structure adjuster, wetting dispersant and emulsifier in the present application, and at the same time, by the specific preparation method in the present application, in the presence of single solvent methyl oleate, the resulting dispersible oil suspension has better dilution stability and sustained foaming. The applicant believes that each molecule is controlled in the space of the three-dimensional structure, and the large and small molecular chains are blended with each other, avoiding the tighter entanglement over time, and the whole system maintains a more stable viscosity.

[0016] Moreover, the applicant has unexpectedly discovered that the dispersible oil suspension obtained in the present application has favorable dispersibility, penetration, wettability, adhesion, target adhesion, evaporation resistance, spreadability, and the like, without the addition of additional fast penetrating agents, other surfactants, and the like.

[0017] In the present application, the solvent is not particularly limited and can be conventionally selected by those skilled in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the solvent is methyl oleate.

[0018] In one embodiment, the benzylazole-containing dispersible oil suspension further comprises 5 to 10 parts by weight of a synergist.

[0019] In the present application, examples of the synergist include anionic surfactants such as fast penetrating agent T, diethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, anionic-nonionic double-structure sulfonates, nonionic surfactants such as aliphatic alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, aliphatic alcohol polyoxyethylene ether polyoxypropylene ether, and Tween, and decanamide-based substances.

[0020] Trademarks of synergists in this application include 3075V, FTRT (FTRT is a registered trademark) TT, FIRT (FIRT is a registered trademark) TV3, T-100, 245-LQ-(TH), L-1505-LQ-(AP), 4166, and the like.

[0021] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a dispersible oil suspension comprising mixing a benzylazole, a wetting and dispersing agent, an emulsifier, a structure modifier and a solvent to form an oil phase, adding the oil phase to a sand mill, circulating the oil phase, followed by adding ammonium glyphosate salt and grinding.

[0022] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the dispersible oil suspension includes dissolving benzylazole in methyl oleate, then adding the remaining raw materials and shearing to form a uniform oil phase; adding hot water of 0 to 50°C into a sand mill, adding the oil phase, and adding glyphosate ammonium salt for grinding after the circulation of the oil phase becomes normal.

[0023] The applicant has found through experiments that the weight ratio of glyphosate ammonium salt in the dispersible oil suspension in this application is relatively high, and in the preparation process, glyphosate ammonium salt is prone to settling and blocking, which leads to clogging of the circulation line. However, the applicant has unexpectedly found that the benzylazole, specific wetting and dispersing agent, emulsifier, structure modifier, and solvent in this application are first mixed, and then the oil phase is circulated, and then glyphosate ammonium salt is added, in this case, the problem of clogging of the pipeline caused by glyphosate ammonium salt is avoided, and in the later stage, the processability during grinding is good, and an ideal particle size distribution can be obtained. The applicant believes that the possible cause is that glyphosate ammonium salt is added to the oil phase formed in this application, and in this case, due to the fluidity of the oil phase, glyphosate ammonium salt can be dispersed and circulated well in the early stage after adding it, which avoids clogging of the pipeline caused by localized precipitation of glyphosate ammonium salt, and the dispersible oil suspension obtained by this method has little residue after falling over.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0025] The dispersible oil suspension in the present application solves the decomposition problem of benzylazole in the prior art, and the dispersible oil suspension does not have the problem of pasting, has excellent high and low temperature resistance, and has favorable dilution stability, sustained foaming property and suspension rate.
