Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry, specifically relates to a method for detecting the content of carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives in a sample and its use, and in particular relates to a method for detecting the content of carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives in a sample, which is highly specialized, has high accuracy, good precision, low quantification limit, and low detection limit, and its use. [Background technology]

[0002] The prior art, for example, the two patents of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, publicly report that carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives have antitumor and antitumor metastasis activities as drugs and have a wide future use. The carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives are dicarboxylic acid derivatives containing oxidative ring-opening of uronic acid adjacent diol structure, which are obtained after unfractionated heparin (UFH) undergoes a two-step oxidation reaction, that is, (1) in glycosaminoglycan, the adjacent diol in uronic acid is oxidatively ring-opened to form a dialdehyde structure, and (2) the dialdehyde structure is further oxidized to obtain a dicarboxylic acid structure. The carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives belong to heparin derivatives and are linear and structurally heterogeneous mucopolysaccharide substances. In the study of drug metabolism, it is necessary to measure the content of the drug in a biological sample in order to evaluate the drug metabolism kinetics of the drug. It is difficult to directly detect the complete structure from biological samples, and biological samples contain multiple endogenous substances, such as proteins, phospholipids, etc., so the conventional polysaccharide testing method is easily affected by endogenous substances and cannot quantitatively measure carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives. Therefore, how to provide an accurate detection method for carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivatives is an urgent problem to be solved. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0075] Example 2 In this example, the detection method for a carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivative according to the present application was used in a pharmacokinetic study (with compound (a) as the detection target), and the specific details are as follows.

[0076] (1) Test method (1.1) Experimental animals: Six healthy male adult SD rats, three of which will be used to collect blank plasma and prepare a calibration curve, and three of which will be used to detect blood concentrations after a single dose to the rats.

[0077] (1.2) Drug preparation: Carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivative H1011 is weighed out and a 60 mg / kg drug solution is prepared in water.

[0078] (1.3) Medication and sample collection: After administration of 60 mg / kg by subcutaneous injection, Blood samples were taken at 0 h, 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 24 h. Whole blood was collected and placed in K2EDTA anticoagulant tubes, then centrifuged for 15 min and separated to obtain plasma samples.

[0079] (1.4) Preparation of calibration curve: (1.4.1) Weigh out the carboxylated glycosaminoglycan derivative H1011 and prepare a 1 mg / mL aqueous solution. Dilute the H1011 aqueous solution stepwise using the blank plasma to prepare standard solutions of 2 μg / mL, 4 μg / mL, 8 μg / mL, 16 μg / mL, 32 μg / mL, 64 μg / mL, 128 μg / mL, and 256 μg / mL. Hydrolyze the solution at 85°C for 72 hours. (1.4.2) Perform pre-detection treatment on the hydrolyzed standard solution. Add 1% by volume of trifluoroacetic acid (5%, v / v) and twice the volume of acetonitrile / methanol (v / v, 50 / 50) to the hydrolyzed standard solution, mix uniformly, leave at -20°C for 20 minutes, centrifuge, collect the supernatant, dry it, and then redissolve it in ultrapure water. (1.4.3) Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection was performed to obtain spectra. The chromatography conditions are as shown in Table 2, and the mass spectrometry conditions are as shown in Table 3.

[0080] [Table 5]

[0081] [Table 6]

[0082] (1.4.4) Relationship between the mass spectrum peak area of ​​H1011 standard solution and compound (a) Between A calibration curve was created, and the mass spectrum signal of compound (a) was MS (ESI, neg. ion) m / z: 432.0 [MH] -The linear equation is y=36.2154x-0.3216, and the correlation coefficient is R 2 =0.9987, where y is the mass spectrum peak area and x is the standard solution concentration.

[0083] (1.5) Detection of the content of H1011 in plasma samples: (1.5.1) The plasma sample obtained in step (1.3) is hydrolyzed at 85°C for 72 hours, and then 1% by volume of trifluoroacetic acid (5%, v / v) and twice the volume of acetonitrile / methanol (v / v, 50 / 50) are added thereto, mixed uniformly, left to stand at -20°C for 20 minutes, centrifuged, and the supernatant is collected and dried, and then redissolved in ultrapure water. (1.5.2) Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection was performed to measure the mass spectrum peak area of ​​compound (a). The chromatography conditions were as shown in Table 2 above, and the mass spectrometry conditions were as shown in Table 3 above. (1.5.3) The concentration of H1011 in the plasma sample at each time point can be calculated from the mass spectrum peak area of ​​compound (a) in conjunction with the calibration curve prepared in step (1.4), and pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated based on the drug concentration-time curve.

[0084] (2) The test results are as shown in Table 4.

[0085] [Table 7]

[0086] (3) Methodological verification (3.1) Expertise An ultrapure water control solution and a blank plasma control solution were prepared and subjected to the same high-temperature hydrolysis and pretreatment processes as described above. After undergoing liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection under the same conditions as described above, no signal peak at 432.0 Da, i.e., the mass spectrum signal peak of compound (a), was detected in the ultrapure water control and plasma control solutions. This demonstrates that the ultrapure water and blank plasma do not affect the detection, and that the detection method is highly professional.

[0087] (3.2) Quantitation limits and detection limits After calculation, the quantification limit of this method is 0.8 μg / mL and the detection limit is 0.2 μg / mL.

[0088] (3.3) Accuracy Three concentrations of 1 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, and 120 μg / mL were set and the H1011 plasma samples were tested. After calculation, the recovery rate was 82.6%-110.8%, and the RSD (relative standard deviation) values ​​of the six experimental results at each concentration were 4.2%, 2.2%, and 1.3%, respectively.
