冻干制剂的内毒素检测和换算问题
QC注册申报分析方法
对于内毒素的限度,一般以EU/ml、EU/mg或EU/剂来表示,对于冻干制剂,由于其冻干后再加入标示量的溶剂复溶后,其体积与标示量和实际过量灌装的装量均有差异,个人认为应该以EU/剂来设定限度,即报告每瓶产品中总的内毒素量,总内毒素量 = 检测浓度(EU/ml) × 复溶体积(ml)

那么问题来了,这里复溶体积(ml)是否应基于实际复溶体积计算?还是直接使用标示量(体积)计算?

如果以实际复溶体积计算,那么实际复溶体积又如何测量呢?

USP PF49(3) 的一篇启动文章“Selecting an Appropriate Volume for the Subvisible Particles Per Container Calculation”曾经讨论过类似的问题——不溶性微粒的结果如何从 counts/ml换算成counts/container.  结论性段落如下,供参考:

There is no single “correct” approach for selecting a volume multiplier. It may also be acceptable and justifiable to use different volume multipliers across different programs, but a volume multiplier selection should be selected for a given program for tracking historical results and ensuring product quality and stability assessment. As a hypothetical example, a liquid DP during the clinical and commercial stage may use the labeled volume (minimum deliverable volume/nominal volume); for a lyophilized DP at the early clinical stage, the reconstitution volume may be used, while later at the pivotal or commercial stage the minimum deliverable volume (equivalent to labeled dose) may be used. For a legacy commercial product presented as a lyophilized DP in a vial, the reconstitution volume may be used as the volume multiplier for maintaining historical tracking consistency. The resulting particles-per-container value is often similar among each of these multiplier selections. Nevertheless, maintaining a consistent multiplier selection is important for monitoring product consistency and stability. For products with variable dosage (such as weight based) or dosage that could be less than the contents of a single vial or a combination of multiple vials, the practice of using the labeled volume to determine the particles per container is still recommended as it is representative of the volume that could be used from that container.

使用标示量复溶体积or实际复溶体积是基于你自己的产品风险和实际情况来决定的。若你的冻干制剂标示量为5 mL,实际复溶体积测量为5.02±0.05 mL应选择标示量计算EU/剂。

实际复溶体积又如何测量:

重量法:

一:测量复溶用溶剂的密度(如水或者其他)
二:称量空瓶重量(W1), 注入复溶液后称量(W2)→ 计算体积:
V=(W2−W1)/ρ

容量法:

一:使用经校准的移液枪或刻度吸管直接量取复溶液体积。

建议使用EU/剂;建议使用实际复溶体积。
