ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of thymalfasin combined with ganciclovir eye drops (gel) in the treatment of herpes simplex virus epithelial keratitis.Methods:This study enrolled 80 patients with herpes simplex virus epithelial keratitis who were treated at the Department of Ophthalmology, Fenyang Hospital, between January 2019 and December 2020. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 patients in each group using the random number table method. All patients were treated with ganciclovir eye drops (gel) for 3 weeks. The control group received conventional treatment, while the observation group received both conventional treatment and thymalfasin treatment. All patients were followed up for 2 years. The proportion of patients who achieved a significant response and an effective response within 10 days of treatment, as well as the recurrence rate, were compared between the two groups. Additionally, the changes in cellular immune function were compared between the two groups.Results:In the control group, there were 10 cases that achieved a significant or effective response within 10 days of treatment, while in the observation group, there were 28 cases. The therapeutic effect of the observation group was superior to that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 16.24, P < 0.001). The recurrence rate of the observation group within 2 years was significantly lower than that of the control group (10.00% vs. 30.00%, χ2 = 5.00, P < 0.05). After treatment, the counts of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 +, and natural killer cells, which are indices of cellular immune function, were significantly increased in the observation group compared with both their pre-treatment levels and the levels measured concurrently in the control group ( tbetween-group= 19.27, 20.85, 11.32, 15.82, all P < 0.001). Conclusion:The combination of thymalfasin and ganciclovir eye drops (gel) for the treatment of herpes simplex virus epithelial keratitis can improve both the therapeutic effect and the immune function of patients, which helps to reduce the recurrence rate.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To develop an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of nine trace D-amino acids in thymalfasin, combined with deuterated acid hydrolysis and precolumn-derivatization. METHODS: The sample was hydrolyzed by deuterated acid, followed by precolumn-derivatization with Nα-(2, 4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (FDAA). The analysis was then performed on an ACCQ-TAGTM ULTRA C18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm), with mobile phase comprising water containing 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile gradiently eluted at a flow rate of 0.3 mL•min-1. Nine D-amino acids in thymalfasin were correctly quantified using standard curves by Xevo G2-S Q-TOF coupled with electrospray ion source in positive ion mode. RESULTS: The standard curves of the nine D-amino acids derivatives had good linearity in the ranges of the tested concentrations (r>0.991 2). The limits of quantitation of all D-amino acids derivatives were as low as 0.05-0.30 pmol. The precision and recoveries met the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015). The contents of D-amino acids in the samples from five companies were determined to be 25.16-1 322.01 μg•g-1. Among them, D-glutamate, D-aspartate, D-lysine and D-serine had higher contents, which were 1 105.45-1 322.01, 614.15-740.50, 358.06-388.76 and 138.78-291.60 μg•g-1, respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is sensitive, efficient and reliable, working well for simultaneous determination of nine trace D-amino acids in thymalfasin, which provides a reference for the comprehensive control of racemic peptide impurities in this synthetic polypeptide drug.
ABSTRACT
We utilized a multi-step derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the determination of common amino acid enantiomers, combined with deuterated hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, to identify nine trace D-amino acids in thymalfasin. We optimized the conditions for multi-step derivatization, the volume of reagent for redissolving samples, and the conditions for chromatography and mass spectrometry with isopropanol and trifluoroacetic anhydride as derivatization reagents, and validated the procedure, including sensitivity, linear range, precision, accuracy and recovery. Sixteen pairs of D/L-amino acids and glycine derivatives were separated within 29 min, with the limit of quantification as low as 0.09-2.79 μmol·L-1. Nine amino acid derivatives of thymalfasin showed a good linear relationship within the concentration range examined (r2>0.992 3). The precision results showed that RSD values were less than 10.90%. Accuracy test results of a reference substance ranged from 76.69% to 128.18%. Average recoveries of spiked samples ranged from 70.41% to 125.39%. For the nine D-amino acids assayed, D-Asp and D-Glu content in six batches of thymalfasin were highest, ranging 0.41%-0.49% and 0.25%-0.33%, respectively, with others less than 0.25%. The method is sensitive, efficient and reliable, available for seventeen common amino acids and their enantiomers, and works well with simultaneous determination of nine trace D-amino acids in thymalfasin, providing a reference for the comprehensive control of racemic peptide impurities in this synthetic polypeptide drug.
