また、請求項7に係る発明としては、針状形状を有する突起部と、前記突起部を支持する支持基板とを備えた針状体であって、突起部側層と支持基板側層の少なくとも2層を備え、前記突起部側層形成材料がプルラン、デキストランから選択される材料を含み、前記支持基板側層形成材料がヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、メチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロースから選択される材料を含むことを特徴とする針状体とした。
本構成の針状体の製造方法とすることにより、得られる針状体の突起部側層と支持基板側層の剥離強度を小さなものとすることができ、針状体を皮膚に穿刺後に突起部側層を皮膚に接触させた状態で支持基板側層のみを皮膚から剥離することができる。
突起部側層形成材料の水溶液を供給する工程の後、一旦乾燥工程を設けることにより、針状体の製造方法は、凹版に突起部側層形成材料の水溶液を供給する工程の後に乾燥をおこなうことなく凹版に支持基板側層形成材料の水溶液を供給する工程をおこなった針状体の製造方法と比較して、得られる針状体の突起部側層と支持基板側層の剥離強度を小さなものとすることができる。
本発明の針状体1において、針状の突起部34の寸法は皮膚に穿刺孔を形成するのに適した細さと長さを有することが好ましい。具体的には、図2に示す突起部34の高さHは10μm以上1000μm以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。突起部の高さHは、支持基板32から突起部34の先端までの距離である。
突起部の高さHは、前記範囲内で針状体を穿刺した際に形成される穿刺孔を皮膚内のどのくらいの深さまで形成するかを考慮して決定することが好ましい。
特に、針状体を穿刺した際に形成される穿刺孔を「角質層内」に留める場合、針状体の突起部の高さHは例えば10μm以上300μm以下、より好ましくは30μm以上200μm以下、の範囲内にすることが望ましい。
また、針状体を穿刺した際に形成される穿刺孔を「角質層を貫通し、かつ神経層へ到達しない長さ」に留める場合、針状体の突起部の高さHは200μm以上700μm以下、より好ましくは200μm以上500μm以下、さらに好ましくは200μm以上300μm以下、の範囲内にすることが望ましい。
さらに、針状体を穿刺した際に形成される穿刺孔を「穿刺孔が真皮に到達する長さ」とする場合、針状体の突起部の高さHは200μm以上500μm以下の範囲内とすることが好ましい。また、針状体を穿刺した際に形成される穿刺孔を「穿刺孔が表皮に到達する長さ」の場合、針状体の突起部の高さHは200μm以上300μm以下の範囲内とすることが好ましい。
突起部の幅Dは、突起部を基板面と平行に投影した際の支持基板と接している突起部の長さのうち最大の長さである。例えば、突起部が円錐状である場合、突起部と支持基板と接している面の円の直径が幅Dとなる。突起部が正四角錐である場合、突起部と支持基板と接している面の正方形の対角線が幅Dとなる。また、突起部が円柱である場合、突起部と支持基板と接している面の円の直径が幅Dとなる。突起部が正四角柱である場合、突起部と支持基板と接している面の正方形の対角線が幅Dとなる。
実施形態に係る針状体において、突起部が錐形状のように先端角を有し、角質層を貫通させる場合、突起部の先端角θは5°以上30°以下、より好ましくは10°以上20°以下、の範囲内であることが望ましい。なお、先端角θは突起部を支持基板面と平行に投影した際の角度(頂角)のうち最大のものを指す。
図3(a)に記載の本発明の針状体にあっては、支持基板32内で突起部側層16と支持基板側層18が分離している。
図3(b)に記載の本発明の針状体にあっては、支持基板32内で突起部側層16と支持基板側層18が分離しており、さらに、支持基板32内における突起部側層16が支持基板の外形よりも小さい面積で形成されている。
図3(c)に記載の本発明の針状体にあっては、支持基板32と突起部34の接合位置で、突起部側層16と支持基板側層18が分離している。
図3(d)に記載の本発明の針状体にあっては、突起部34内で、突起部側層16と支持基板側層18が分離している。
突起部側層16と支持基板側層18を形成する材料の水溶液をそれぞれ調製する。
次に、針状パターンを有する凹版10を用意する(図4(a))。針状体の形状を決定する原版の製造方法としては、針状体の形状に応じて適宜公知の製造方法を用いてよい。このとき、微細加工技術を用いて原版を形成してよく、微細加工技術として、例えば、リソグラフィ法、ウェットエッチング法、ドライエッチング法、サンドブラスト法、レーザー加工法、精密機械加工法などを用いても良い。原版から凹版を形成する方法としては、適宜公知の形状転写法を用いてよい。例えば、(1)Ni電鋳法により、Niの凹版を形成、(2)溶融した樹脂を用いた転写成形、など、が挙げられる。
次に、図4(b)に示すように、前記凹版10に突起部側層を形成する材料の水溶液16´を供給する。突起部側層を形成する材料の水溶液16´の溶媒は針状体材料を溶解する溶媒であればよく、水を用いる。なお、水とあわせアルコール等の他の溶媒成分を添加しても良い。
次に、支持基板側層を形成する材料の水溶液18´を乾燥し、固化する。乾燥方法は、自然乾燥、ホットプレートを用いた底面加熱、熱風乾燥による乾燥など環境に応じて適宜選択してよい。ただし、乾燥温度は、水溶液が沸騰しない温度でおこなう必要がある。乾燥温度は、少なくとも110℃以下の温度でおこなうことが好ましい。
乾燥終了後に凹版10から剥離すると針状体1を得ることができる。突起部側層を形成する材料の水溶液16´と支持基板側層を形成する材料の水溶液18´が互いに混ざり合わない液液分散系を形成することから、突起部側層を形成する材料の水溶液16´と支持基板側層を形成する材料の水溶液18´が2層状態を保ちながら乾燥し、2層構造を有する針状体を得ることができる。
まず、本発明の突起部側層16と支持基板側層18を備える針状体を用意する(図7(a))。次に、本発明の針状体を皮膚Sに穿刺する(図7(b))。最後に、本発明の針状体を突起部側層16と支持基板側層18界面で剥離する(図7(c))。以上のように、本発明の針状体では、突起部側層と支持基板側層を剥離容易にすることにより、針状体を皮膚に穿刺後に突起部側層を皮膚に接触させた状態で支持基板側層のみを皮膚から剥離することができ、皮膚に穿刺している針状体を目立たなくすることができる。
まず、本発明の突起部側層16と支持基板側層18を備える針状体の支持基板側に粘着テープ2を貼着させる。粘着テープ2は、基材22上に粘着層21を備える。図8(a))。次に、粘着テープ2に固定された針状体を皮膚Sに穿刺する(図8(b))。最後に、本発明の針状体を突起部側層16と支持基板側層18界面で剥離する(図8(c))。

実施例1~実施例5及び比較例1~比較例3の針状体を支持基板に対して垂直に切断し、その断面を走査型電子顕微鏡により観察したところ、実施例1~5は2層構造を有していた。比較例3は、突起部側層と支持基板側層との界面において、アルギン酸ナトリウムとプルランが混ざり合っている様子が観察された。実施例4は2層構造が確認されたものの、突起部側層と支持基板側層との界面においてヒドロキシプロピルセルロースとプルランが一部混ざり合っている様子が観察された。比較例1及び比較例2は、単層構成であり界面は確認されなかった。
<針状体の90度剥離強度測定>
日本工業規格 JIS K6854-1(1999)「接着剤―はく離接着強さ試験方法―第1部:90度はく離試験」を参考に、突起部側層と支持基板側層の密着強度を測定した。凹版から剥離した針状体を、巾15mmの短冊状に切り出した。短冊状に切り出した針状体の一部を突起部側層と支持基板側層に剥離し、端部を引っ張り試験機のつかみ部分に固定した。このとき、90度剥離となるように端部を固定した。上記状態からつかみ移動速度50mm/minで引張試験をおこない、最大力を剥離強度とした。針状体の強度測定結果を表1に示す。なお、比較例1及び比較例2では、突起部側層と支持基板側層の接着強度が高く、突起部側層と支持基板側層の界面で剥離させることができなかった。
