    [0102] It can be seen from the data in Table 8 that in the N1 composition, three impurities, U1, U2 and U3, have almost no change during storage, and have no visible relationship with the content of the halogenated hydrocarbon in the composition.

    Embodiment 9

    [0103] According to the preparation method of Embodiment 1, sustained-release microspheres of entecavir, oxybutynin, raloxifene, rivastigmine, naloxone, naltrexone, buprenorphine, selegiline, buspirone, blonanserin, asenapine, olanzapine, lurasidone, N2 and N3 were prepared. The compositions were shown in Table 9. The particle size scope of the microspheres was controlled to be 30 μm to 120 μm, the content of a quaternary ammonium salt impurities was less than 0.05%, and the content of a halogenated hydrocarbon was about 0.69 to 0.9%. Changes of the quaternary ammonium salt impurities stored at 5° C.±3° C. and 20° C.±5° C. for 12 months, 24 months and 36 months were investigated. The results were shown in Table 9.

    [0104] It can be seen from the changes of the quaternary ammonium salt impurities of each composition in Table 9 that when the content of the halogenated hydrocarbon content does not exceed 0.9% and the initial value of the quaternary ammonium impurities does not exceed 0.04%, the quaternary ammonium impurities of the composition is still less than 0.2% during storage at two temperatures. Meanwhile, when the content of the halogenated hydrocarbon is larger or the initial value of the quaternary ammonium salt impurities is higher, the increase of the quaternary ammonium salt impurities is larger during storage at two temperatures.
