摘要:

核磁共振技术（NMR）因其快速、准确、全谱、可客观反映多糖特异性结构等独特优势，已经成为多糖结合疫苗质量研究的关键分析手段。然而，现行国内外指南多适配于小分子药物，缺少针对多糖-蛋白结合物等大分子的技术标准。本文系统梳理了NMR技术在大/小分子检测中的关键差异，从分子结构复杂性、仪器参数、样品预处理到谱图解析难度等进行了对比分析。结合国内外应用实践，阐述了该技术在工艺开发、质控体系及其构建、标准品标定及稳定性研究全生命周期中的应用价值。在此基础上，本文提出了以“全面整体”为核心的审评理念，并围绕菌种传代稳定性、定量分析策略论证等议题，探讨了技术审评的潜在新导向，以期为构建大分子生物制品NMR分析标准体系提供思路借鉴。

Abstract:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has emerged as a pivotal analytical platform for the quality study of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, driven by its rapid, accurate, and comprehensive (RAC) nature. While current international and domestic guidelines are predominantly address small-molecule pharmaceuticals, highlighting a notable gap in methodological and regulatory standardization for the standardized application of NMR to complex macromolecules such as polysaccharide-protein conjugates. This article systematically delineates the critical technical distinctions between small- and large-molecule NMR analysis, providing a comparative analysis that spans from inherent molecular structure complexity and instrument parameter requirements to sample preparation rigor and spectral resolution challenges. By integrating recent global advances and practical industrial applications, we elucidate the multifaceted value of this technology throughout the complete product lifecycle, from early-stage process development and quality control system construction to reference standard characterization and stability studies. A key innovation of this work lies in articulating a novel evaluation paradigm centered on the concept of holistic “comprehensive integrity”. We further explore forward-looking regulatory considerations, including potential new orientations for technical review regarding strain passage stability and the justification of quantitative analysis strategies, with a view to providing references for establishing an NMR analysis standard system for macromolecular bioproducts.
