Parenteral N-acetylcysteine has a wide variety of clinical applications, but its use can be limited by a poor chemical stability. We managed to control parenteral N-acetylcysteine stability, and to study the influence of additives on the decrease of N-acetylcysteine degradation. First, an HPLC-UV dosing method of N-acetylcysteine and its main degradation product, a dimer, was validated and the stability without additive was studied. Then, the influence of several additives (ascorbic acid, sodium edetate, tocopherol and zinc) and of temperature on N-acetylcysteine dimerization was evaluated. Finally, the influence of zinc gluconate at different concentrations (administrable to patients) was investigated. Zinc gluconate at 62.5 µg·mL allows the stabilization of 25 mg·mL N-acetylcysteine solution for at least 8 days when stored at 5 ± 3 °C.
注射用N-乙酰半胱氨酸有多种临床应用,但其使用可能因化学稳定性差而受到限制。我们成功控制了注射用N-乙酰半胱氨酸的稳定性,并研究了添加剂对N-乙酰半胱氨酸降解减少的影响。首先,验证了N-乙酰半胱氨酸及其主要降解产物二聚体的HPLC-UV定量方法,并研究了无添加剂时的稳定性。然后,评估了几种添加剂(抗坏血酸、依地酸钠、生育酚和锌)以及温度对N-乙酰半胱氨酸二聚化的影响。最后,研究了不同浓度(可用于患者)的葡萄糖酸锌的影响。当在5±3℃储存时,62.5μg·mL的葡萄糖酸锌可使25mg·mL的N-乙酰半胱氨酸溶液稳定至少8天。
