Comparative example
Hyperfiltration process: 300 μ L placebo solutions and sample solution are respectively placed in centrifugal ultrafiltration pipe, and (shut off molecular weight
In 3KD), and it is centrifuged 20min at 10000r/min, the centrifugation of 300 μ L PBS solutions is added into chimney filter, washes for repeated washing 3 times
Remove unbonded ingredient.Blank control ultrafiltrate and sample ultrafiltrate are collected respectively, are extracted with 200 μ L methylene chloride, by dichloromethane
The solution of alkane part is sucked out with liquid-transfering gun, volatilizes solvent, is redissolved solvent with methanol, is passed through HPLC and is carried out separation detection.
Three-phase laminar flow micro-fluidic chip principle prepared by the present invention are as follows: in flow process, have affinity interaction with biological target
Large biological molecule and free drug small-molecule mixture from the free drug small molecule of three-phase laminar flow micro-fluidic chip mix
Object outlet 5 flows out, and does not have the free drug small molecule of affinity interaction to enter organic solvent extraction across PBS phase with biological target
Phase finally flows out and collects from the organic solvent outlet 6 of free drug small molecule of the extraction without affinity interaction, obtains experimental group
Free drug small molecule of the extraction without affinity interaction organic solvent outlet 6 flow out dichloromethane solution II, be added to
Separation identification is carried out in HPLC-MS, compared with the dichloromethane solution III that blank control group organic solvent outlet 6 is collected,
By comparing the chromatogram of experimental group and blank control group, the determining active constituent for having affinity interaction with biological target.
In chip microscale channel, solution is flowed with laminar flow.Solute in solution flow process, in each fluid
Molecule is because concentration difference is spread.Diffusion velocity is related to molecular size.The big diffusion velocity of molecule is slow, the small expansion of molecule
It is fast to dissipate speed.In three-phase laminar flow micro-fluidic chip prepared by the present invention, there are the drug of affinity interaction and biology big with biological target
Molecular diffusion rates are slow, mainly flow out from the large biological molecule outlet 4 for having affinity interaction with bio-target molecule;Do not have with biological target
There is the free drug small molecule diffusion velocity of affinity interaction fast, passes through the isolation of intermediate buffering solution and mutually enter organic solvent extraction phase
(the i.e. organic extraction solvent such as methylene chloride that organic extraction solvent injection port 3 introduces in Fig. 2, finally from extraction without affinity interaction
Free drug small molecule organic solvent outlet 6 flow out and collect, volatilize again with methanol dissolution after, in HPLC-MS into
Row separation identification, by comparing the chromatogram of experimental group and blank control group, determines the ingredient of chromatographic peak area significant change i.e.
To there is the active constituent of affinity interaction with biological target.
This chip pre-treating method is integrated with large biological molecule and separation of small molecuies, free drug small molecule extracting and enriching two
A functional unit is not required to be centrifuged, and easily integrated with other separation methods etc., the time is short, favorable reproducibility, high-efficient.Compare traditional experiment
The room hyperfiltration process time shortens 3 times or more.
Further detection is made to the effect of above-described embodiment.
Bio-target molecule of the present invention can be greater than 8000 for tetra- serobila of G-, haemocyanin, alpha-glucosidase, molecular weight
Nucleic acid and protein.Sample to be tested I includes the compound of Chinese medical extract, compound library.It is micro- using three-phase laminar flow of the invention
Fluidic chip screens the effect of active constituent, also with following example: the ligand one affine with tetra- serobila of G- in screening macleaya cordata
Sample, significant effect.
With three-phase laminar flow micro-fluidic chip prepared by the present invention screening macleaya cordata in G- tetra- serobilas (anti-tumor biological target
Point) affine ingredient as a result, as shown in Figure 3.
As a result: to ultrafiltration result and three-phase laminar flow micro-fluidic chip prepared by the present invention use respectively fingerprint spectrum method into
The comparison of row peak area.It is found that in 10~45 minutes, the peak area difference RSD that chip method of the present invention obtains is greater than table 1
20% has 46 peaks, and hyperfiltration process has 33 peaks;In the difference peak of RSD > 20%, peak area accounts for all chromatographic peak gross areas
Percentage is greater than 5%, and chip method of the present invention has 4 ingredients, and hyperfiltration process only has 2 ingredients;Chip method of the present invention
Peak area accounts in all chromatographic peak gross area percentages, and minimum chip is 0.019%, and minimum hyperfiltration process is 0.010%.
