Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable manufacture of the titled material safely and at a low cost free from a problem of environmental contamination, by reducing bilirubin by using a Raney catalyst to freeze it dry. CONSTITUTION:A Raney catalyst especially Raney nicked catalyst, Raney copper catalyst or Raney iron catalyst is used to reduce bilirubin and it is frozen dry to make a urobilinogen as its composition. This Raney catalyst is a metal catalyst which is obtained by processing an alloy by caustic alkali or the like and the type of metal to be alloyed is not specifically limited. The freezing dry refers to a method that an aqueous solution is frozen and water is sublimated directly under vacuum as kept frozen; freezing temperature, degree of vacuum, drying temperature are not specifically limited. The urobilinogen composition is a mixture containing several types of anisotrope obtained by reducing the bilirubin. For example, bilirubin is resolved by an alkaline solution or the like and a Raney catalyst is added to it being cooled to react and the filtrate is frozen dry. Thus, this composition is formed in the state of solid powder.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, when urobilinogen is produced using these conventional methods, there are the following problems. That is, the method using sodium amalgam as a catalyst has the problem of environmental pollution due to mercury in the waste. Furthermore, methods using vanadium or platinum as catalysts required expensive and special equipment. In particular, urobilinogen produced by these conventional methods is very unstable and easily oxidized, and cannot be used for clinical tests such as controls for urine urobilinogen measurement.

), and is generally described in literature as a Raney catalyst, and is a metal catalyst obtained by treating an alloy with caustic alkali or the like. In addition, in the Raney catalyst of the present invention, the types of alloyed metals are not particularly limited, but include a Raney nickel catalyst made from an alloy of nickel and aluminum, a Raney copper catalyst made from an alloy of copper and aluminum, and a Raney catalyst made from an alloy of copper and aluminum. A Runny iron catalyst made from an alloy of aluminum and aluminum is preferable in terms of reduction efficiency. In these Raney nickel catalysts, Raney copper catalysts, and Raney iron catalysts, the content of each of nickel, copper, and iron is not particularly limited, but the content is preferably about 30% to 60%. This is because if the amount is more than that, the catalytic ability will be weakened, and if it is less than that, it will be difficult to crush.

The urobilinogen composition of the present invention can be produced, for example, by dissolving bilirubin in an alkaline solution or the like, cooling the solution, adding a Raney catalyst to cause a reaction, and freeze-drying the filtrate. Here, "while cooling" means that the reaction is carried out at such a temperature that the urobilinogen composition obtained by adding and reacting the Raney catalyst does not immediately become different. Of course, the conditions for the Raney catalyst and the conditions for freeze-drying are not particularly limited. Further, excipients may be added before lyophilization as long as they do not participate in the reaction. Urobilinogen compositions containing excipients have a good finish after freeze-drying.

Conventionally, urobilinogen is extremely unstable, perhaps because it is obtained in liquid form, and even if stored in the refrigerator, more than 10% of it will change to a different substance within a day, making it impractical for clinical testing. There wasn't. The urobilinogen composition of the present invention is produced as a solid powder by freeze-drying, and its properties are confirmed to be stable for a long period of time from the Examples described below. The composition is very stable. Furthermore, since mercury and the like are not used, it can be produced safely without problems such as pollution, compared to urobilinogen obtained by conventional methods. Further, unlike the case of using vanadium or platinum, expensive equipment is not required and it can be manufactured at low cost. Therefore, the urobilinogen composition of the present invention can be used as a control for urine urobilinogen measurement or for other clinical tests, and in this case, it can be stored very easily, data can be obtained accurately, and It becomes possible to perform inspections at low cost.

Example 1 100 mg of bilirubin is dissolved in 100 ml of 0.4N sodium hydroxide solution, and while cooling to below 10° C., 6 g of Raney nickel catalyst having a nickel content of 50% is added and stirred for 1 hour. The filtrate obtained by filtration was divided into brown vials and freeze-dried. The freeze-drying conditions were a vacuum degree of O, 15 Torr, and a product temperature of -20°C during freezing and 25°C during quick drying. The obtained urobilinogen composition was dissolved in purified water, diluted 10 times, and quantified using the improved method of Henry et al., and the urobilinogen concentration was 9.5 engineering-Rurrich units/di. That is, a urobilinogen composition could be obtained from bilirubin at a production rate of 95%. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned 10-fold diluted solution was further diluted stepwise up to 100-fold and quantified in the same manner to create a calibration curve, linearity was obtained.
