已经报道了通过使左氧氟沙星(LF)与柠檬酸(CA)以(1:1)摩尔比反应来改善稳定性和效力。然而,已知CA对胃肠道有刺激性,应尽量减少。在一种新颖的方法中,本实验旨在制备还原CA的LF-CA盐,(2:1)摩尔比,研究结构,并研究其溶解度,稳定性,和效力提高。采用溶剂滴落研磨和缓慢蒸发的方法制备了新的比例组成盐,以电热为特征,差示扫描量热法,和粉末X射线衍射以确认物理上新的固态形成。接下来,傅里叶变换分光光度法确定了LF和CA之间的化学相互作用。之后,使用单晶X射线衍射法进行的全面结构研究确定了新盐的3D结构,这决定了固体的物理化学行为。最后,稳定性,溶解度,并进行效力测试以研究新LF-CA组合物的益处。因此,这个实验成功地合成了盐,结合了4.5个水分子,命名为LFCA(2:1)-4.5水合物。这种新的固态盐在溶解度上与既定的(1:1)摩尔比相当,稳定性,和效力,比单独的LF高。此后,CA部分减少,这种新的组合物具有进一步发展的潜力,作为一种稳定的药物制剂,更安全,更有效的抗生素。
Stability and
potency improvement have been reported by reacting levofloxacin (LF) with citric acid (CA) in a (1:1) molar ratio. However, CA is known to be irritant to the gastrointestinal tract and should be minimized. In a novel approach, this experiment aimed to prepare LF - CA salt with reduced CA, the (2:1) molar ratio, study the structure, and investigate its solubility, stability, and
potency improvement. Solvent-dropped grinding and slow evaporation methods were used to prepare the new ratio composition salt, characterized by electrothermal, differential scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray diffractometry to confirm the physically new solid-state formation. Next, Fourier transform spectrophotometry identified the chemical interaction between LF and CA. After that, a comprehensive structural study using single-crystal X-ray diffractometry determined the 3D structure of the new salt, which determined the solid physicochemical behavior. Finally, stability, solubility, and
potency tests were done to investigate the benefits of the new LF-CA composition. As a result, this experiment successfully synthesized the salt, which bound 4.5 water molecules, named LFCA (2:1) - 4.5 hydrate. This new solid-state salt was comparable with the established (1:1) molar ratio in solubility, stability, and
potency, higher than LF alone. Hereafter, with a reduced CA portion, this new composition holds potential for further development in drug formulation as a stable, safer, and more efficient antibiotic.
