Abstract:

Due to urea crystallization showing white needle, single crystal morphology and uncontrollable process of traditional crystallization, it seriously affects drug consistency evaluation. We adopt molecular dynamics simulation method to research regulating effect of different additives on urea crystal growth at molecular level, and reveal the regulation mechanism of additives on urea crystal growth. Finally, the experimental results show: ① At 101.325 kPa and 290 K, all 6 kinds of additives (trehalose, sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, lysine and arginine) can inhibit the growth of urea facet (520) to a certian extent. ② The more negative adsorption energy of the additive on the facet (520) lead to the better inhibition of crystal growth, and the trehalose is the best inhibit for the growth of facet (520). ③ The type and number of the polar group which is carried by additive determine the interactive strength between additive and crystal layer. In particular, trehalose and sucrose which contains 8 hydroxyl groups, have strong interaction with urea molecules on the urea layer,and they can form competitive adsorption with solutes in the solution layer. So they can better inhibit the growth of urea crystal facet (520).

摘要:

由于尿素结晶呈白色针状,晶貌单一,且传统结晶工艺不可控,严重影响药物的一致性评价结果。采用分子动力学模拟方法,从分子水平上研究不同种类的添加剂对尿素晶体生长的调控作用,揭示添加剂对药物晶体生长的调控机制。结果表明:① 六种添加剂(海藻糖、蔗糖、葡萄糖、山梨醇、赖氨酸、精氨酸)在101.325 kPa、290 K下相较于无添加剂时都能不同程度地抑制(520)晶面的生长;② 添加剂对尿素晶面(520)的吸附能越负,其抑制晶面生长效果越好,其中海藻糖抑制(520)晶面生长效果最好;③ 添加剂分子携带基团的种类与数目决定与晶层的相互作用的强弱,特别是海藻糖、蔗糖双糖类分子含有8个羟基,与晶层上的尿素分子氢键相互作用强,与溶液层中的溶质形成竞争性吸附,能更好抑制(520)晶面生长。
