Principle

1. Treatment of ampoule Fill the ampoule with purified water, heat it at 100 ℃ for 30 minutes, shake off the water while it is hot, then fill the ampoule with filtered purified water and water for injection, shake off the water, and so on for three times, in order to remove the trace free alkali, metal ions, dust, sand and other impurities on the surface of ampoule, and immediately dry it at 120-140 ℃, and reserve it. 2. Treatment of pendant glass filter Rinse the pendant glass filter with purified water, dry it at 120-140 ℃ immediately and reserve it. The cleaned ampoule should be dried at 120~140 ℃ immediately and set aside.2. Treatment of fused glass filter Rinse the fused glass filter with purified water, soak it in 1%~2% sodium nitrate sulfate solution for 12~24 hours, and then rinse it with purified water and water for injection until the rinse solution is neutral and clear, then pump it to dryness and set it aside.3. Liquid Dispensing Liquid dispensing instruments should be cleaned and dried according to the requirements and then be used. There are two general methods of liquid dispensing. (1) dilute method: the raw material is added to the solvent, once the required concentration. (2) Concentrated method: the raw material is added to part of the solvent, formulated into a concentrated solution, heated and filtered, if necessary, can add activated carbon treatment, can also be refrigerated and then filtered, and then diluted to the required concentration. 4. Filtering Filtration methods include pressurized filtration, depressurized filtration, and high hydrostatic filtration, etc. There are also many types of filters. There are also many types of filters for crude, prefiltration and fine filtration. According to the laboratory conditions, install the filtration device. 5. Filling and sealing Immediately fill and seal the filtered drug solution. Requirements for accurate dosage, the liquid does not stain the ampoule neck wall. If the drug is easy to oxidize, inert gas can be passed during the filling process. 6. Sterilization and leakage detection After the ampoule is melted and sealed, sterilize it in time according to the regulations. After sterilization, take out the ampoule while it is hot and put it into cold 1% methylene blue solution for leakage detection. 7. Aqueous solution of injection solution for intravenous drip (infusion agent) should be free of pyrogens, insoluble particles should comply with the regulations and isotonic with blood as far as possible, in addition to meeting the general requirements for injection agent. 8. Intravenous drip emulsion, the dispersed phase particle size of the majority of pure (80%) should be less than 1 μm, there shall be no more than 5 μm particles, should be non-pyrogenic, resistant to autoclave sterilization, stable during storage, and shall not be used for vertebral injection. In addition, the pH value of the injection solution for intravenous drip should be close to the pH value of human blood, no bacteriostatic agent should be added, and it should not cause abnormal changes in the blood after being fed into the human body. The preparation of infusion agent is similar to that of ampoule.

[Preparation method] (1) Liquid preparation: take about 800 ml of water for injection, add sodium chloride and stir to dissolve, add procaine hydrochloride, and add acid to adjust the PH to 4.0-4.5, then add solvent to the full amount, stir well, and then filter to get clear liquid. (Note the addition and connection of the filtration device and the principle). (2) Wash the empty ampoule: first fill with 0.1% hydrochloric acid solution, rinse and then boil with water, dry. (3) Filling and sealing of injection: pay attention to the exhaustion of the filling and sealing device, to adjust the position, and before dissolving and sealing, you can use the waste ampoule to practice the technique in order to reduce the loss. (4) Sterilization and leakage detection of ampoule: Sterilize the ampoule by circulating steam at 100 ℃ for 30 minutes, and put it into colored solution for leakage detection while it is hot. (5) Quality check of ampoule: PH value and clarification waste check. (6) Printing and packaging of ampoule.
[Note] (1) procaine hydrochloride is a weak base combined with strong acid salt, easy to hydrolyze, decarboxylation to generate aniline, for this reason, the first adjustment of PH to 4.2-5.0, because this time is the most stable, some with hot pressure 115.5 ℃ for half an hour to the bacteria (generally believe that 100 ℃ for half an hour is good). (2) sodium chloride regulates osmotic pressure, and can increase the stability of the solution, inhibit hydrolysis. (3) Oxygen, light, metal, etc. can also affect the decomposition, so in the preparation and storage should be avoided.
2. Preparation of Banlangen Injection
[Prescription] Panax quinquefolium 550 g Benzyl alcohol 10 ml Polysorbate-80 10 ml Adequate amount of water for injection Total 1000 ml Prepare 2 ml ampoule per person.
[Method of Preparation] (1) Leaching: Take Panax quinquefolium, add 6-7 times of water and soak for half an hour, decoct twice, half an hour each time, filter, combine the filtrate, and concentrate it to 600-700 ml in a straight fire, and then concentrate it to 300-350 ml in a water bath. (2) Refinement ① alcohol treatment: take the concentrate, stir and add alcohol, so that the alcohol content of 60%, refrigerated for more than 24 hours, the refrigerated liquid filtration, filtrate with 60% alcohol wash 1-2 times, filtrate heating de-alcohol to no alcohol flavor. ② ammonia treatment: take the filtrate, stirring ammonia so that the PH value of 8.5-9, refrigerated for 24 hours, filtered, water bath heating to remove ammonia to no ammonia odor, PH value of 5.5-6, and its liquid with fresh water for injection diluted to 1,000 ml, 24 hours of refrigeration, filtration, filtrate with Tween-80, benzyl alcohol, plus water for injection to 1,000 ml, filtered with a No. 3 pendant fusion funnel, that is, the clarified injection solution. (3) The process of handling, filling and sealing, sterilization, quality inspection, printing and packaging of empty ampoule is the same as the preparation of procaine hydrochloride injection.
[Note]. (1) Panax quinquefolium contains 10% water, so cast 10% more when casting. (2) The root contains sugar, starch, etc., and should be stirred frequently when concentrated to prevent coking. (3) Add alcohol treatment, mainly remove protein, gum, plant mucus, inorganic salts and other impurities. (4) The antimicrobial components of Panax quinquefolium are not heat-resistant, and the decoction or sterilization is generally not more than 100 ℃ for 1 hour. (5) Lose all the activity at PH8, but can still be restored after neutralization, and the removal of ammonia is to reduce the PH to below 7 to restore its antibacterial activity.
3. Vitamin C injection preparation
[Prescription] Vitamin C 105 g Sodium bicarbonate 49 g Sodium metabisulfite 3 g Disodium edetate 0.05 g Add 1000 ml of water for injection.
[Preparation] Take 80% of the total amount of water for injection, saturated with carbon dioxide (or nitrogen), add vitamin C to dissolve, slowly add sodium bicarbonate in stages, stirring to make soluble; the other will be sodium metabisulfite and disodium edetate dissolved in the appropriate amount of water for injection; the two liquids are combined, stirred, adjust the pH value of 6.0-6.2, add carbon dioxide (or nitrogen) saturated water for injection to the full amount of samples to determine the content of the qualified After that, filtered to clear, potted under carbon dioxide (or nitrogen) airflow, 100 ℃ circulating steam sterilization for 15 minutes, can be.
[Role and use] Vitamin drugs. Used in the prevention and treatment of scurvy, also used in acute and chronic infectious diseases and purpura and other auxiliary treatment.
[Usage and dosage] Intravenous or intramuscular injection, 0.1-0.25 g, 0.25-0.5 g a day.
[Note] (1) Vitamin C has an enediol structure in its molecule and is easily oxidized. Its aqueous solution in contact with air, automatically oxidized into dehydroascorbic acid, the latter is then hydrolyzed to generate 2,3-diketone L-gulose that is the loss of therapeutic effect, this compound is then oxidized into oxalic acid and L-butyric acid. The finished product is yellow after decomposition. Factors affecting the stability of this product are mainly oxygen in the air, solution pH and metal ions, so the production of inert gas, adjusting the pH value of the solution, adding antioxidants and metal ion chelating agent and other measures. (2) The stability of the product is related to temperature. Some experiments have proved that with 100 ℃ sterilization for 30 minutes, the content decreased by 3%, while 100 ℃ sterilization for 15 minutes to reduce only 2%, so 100 ℃ sterilization for 15 minutes is good. (3) Vitamin C is highly acidic and irritating when injected, so it is added with sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the salt to reduce injection pain. At the same time, sodium bicarbonate plays a role in regulating pH value.
4.
