At present, the purification process in industrial production suffers from large amount of solid waste, high solvent toxicity, and low sinomenine hydrochloride yield. In this study, a new purification process for sinomenine hydrochloride was proposed by using the extract obtained from acid extraction of Caulis Sinomenii as the starting material.The process included the following steps: alkalization, extraction, water washing, acid–water stripping,drying, and crystallization. 1-Heptanol was used as the extractant. The distribution coefficients of sinomenine and sinomenine hydrochloride in 1-heptanol–water system were 27.4 and 0.0167, respectively.The dissociation constants of sinomenine hydrochloride were 8.27 and 11.24, respectively. Process parameters of the new purification process were optimized with experimental design. The extractant1-heptanol and sinomenine hydrochloride in the crystallization mother solution can be recycled in the new process. The purity of the obtained sinomenine hydrochloride crystals exceeded 85%, and the yield was about 70%. Compared with current industrial processes, safer extractant, less solid waste, and higher sinomenine hydrochloride yield can be achieved using the new purification process of sinomenine hydrochloride provided in this study.展开更多

The study was performed at several temperatures between 298.15 and 323.15 K at 5 K intervals.The assembly has been characterized by evaluating the micellar parameters, such as the critical micelle concentration(CMC) and the counter ion binding(β), of the CTAC + MFH mixture. The values of the CMC for the assembly of the CTAC + MFH mixture were reliant on the composition of alcohols in the mixed solvents and the temperature. The CMC values of the CTAC + MFH mixture increased with increasing temperature;that is, assembly was delayed by increased temperature. The micellization of the CTAC + MFH mixed system was delayed in alcoholic media. The observed-ΔG0mvalues for the association of the CTAC + MFH mixed system demonstrated a spontaneous aggregation process under all study conditions.Based on the-ΔH^(0)_(m) and +ΔS^(0)_(m) values, the association of the CTAC + MFH mixture is exothermic and the interaction forces acting between the CTAC and MFH species are hydrophobic, ion–dipole, and electrostatic interactions. The transfer properties and enthalpy–entropy compensation were also assessed and described comprehensively.展开更多

The study was performed at several temperatures between 298.15 and 323.15 K at 5 K intervals.The assembly has been characterized by evaluating the micellar parameters, such as the critical micelle concentration(CMC) and the counter ion binding(β), of the CTAC + MFH mixture.

The observed-ΔG0mvalues for the association of the CTAC + MFH mixed system demonstrated a spontaneous aggregation process under all study conditions.Based on the-ΔH^(0)_(m) and +ΔS^(0)_(m) values, the association of the CTAC + MFH mixture is exothermic and the interaction forces acting between the CTAC and MFH species are hydrophobic, ion–dipole, and electrostatic interactions. The transfer properties and enthalpy–entropy compensation were also assessed and described comprehensively.
文摘Aims:To determine the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation(MWA)and transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome(DHL)in patients with primary liver cancer(PLC)and metastatic liver cancer(MLC).Materials and methods:The medical records of patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer who underwent MWA combined with TACE containing DHL from March 2019 to March 2022 were collected and analyzed.Treatment-related adverse events(AEs)were recorded.Local tumor response was evaluated according to the modified RECIST criteria.Local tumor progression-free survival(LTPFS)and overall survival(OS)were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Altogether,96 patients with liver cancer were included(PLC,n=45;MLC,n=51).Forty(41.7%)patients experienced AEs during treatment,and eight(8.3%)patients developed grade 3 AEs.Compared to before treatment,the serum total bilirubin level and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio significantly increased after treatment.The median LTPFS was 14.5 months in patients with PLC and 10.7 months in patients with MLC.The median OS was not reached in patients with PLC or MLC.The 1-month and 3-month disease control rates reached more than 80%in both groups.Conclusion:MWA combined with TACE with DHL may be a safe and effective method for the treatment of liver cancer.
文摘Objectives: A non-clinical study was performed to establish a LC-MS/MS method to determine the in vivo active components of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection in the plasma of Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods: Ten male SD rats were administered tail vein with a single dose of 10 mg/kg, and the concentrations of doxorubicin hydrochloride in plasma, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Results: The final concentration of doxorubicin hydrochloride ranged from 500 ng/mL to 250,000 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was 500 ng/mL;the main pharmacokinetic parameters: T<sub>1/2</sub> was (19.282 ± 10.305) h, C<sub>max</sub> was (118514.828 ± 26155.134) ng/mL, AUC<sub>0-24</sub> and AUC<sub>0-∞</sub> were (1216659.205 ± 192706.268) ng/mL⋅h and (2082244.523 ± 860139.487) ng/mL⋅h, MRT<sub>0-24</sub> and MRT<sub>0-∞</sub> were (9.237 ± 0.423) h and (26.52 ± 14.015) h, respectively, and clearance (CL) was (0.005 ± 0.002) mL/h⋅ng. Conclusions: The method is simple, rapid, and sensitive, which can be used for the determination of doxorubicin hydrochloride concentration in the plasma of SD rats and pharmacokinetic non-clinical studies.
