- calcined apatite particles By using such calcined apatite particles, it is possible to obtain a highly effective filler that stimulates fibroblasts and enhances collagen production. That is, by making the hydroxyapatite particles into calcined hydroxyapatite, the effect of promoting collagen production is significantly improved as compared with the uncalcined particles. Furthermore, calcined hydroxyapatite has higher crystallinity and lower solubility in the living body than amorphous hydroxyapatite. Therefore, since the biological activity can be maintained for a long time in the living body, the collagen production promoting effect is easily exhibited for a long time.

(3)皮下注射用剤の作用
(4)皮下注射用剤の使用方法
(5)皮下注射用剤の物性
以下、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の成分及びその配合量に関して詳述する。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤は、ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子とハイドロゲルとを含み、更にその他の成分を含んでいてもよい。尚、ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子凝集体は、ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の凝集体である。
先ず、本実施形態に係るハイドロキシアパタイト(水酸化燐灰石)粒子に関し、組成、機能及び特性、入手方法、焼成、粒径に関して説明する。尚、ここで示すハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の物性(特に粒径)は、皮下注射用剤中に含まれるハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の物性を示すものである(皮下注射用剤中に含まれるハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の物性と、皮下注射用剤の構成原料であるハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の物性とは、製造段階による形態変化等が生じる場合もあるため、必ずしも同一とは限らない)。
ハイドロキシアパタイト(HAp:Hydroxyapatite)は、化学式Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2で示される塩基性リン酸カルシウムで、天然には歯や骨の主成分として、また鉱石として存在する。
ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子は、高い生体親和性を示す。特に皮下注射用剤として使用した場合には、ナノ粒子としてフィラー中に存在するハイドロキシアパタイト粒子が、繊維芽細胞を刺激することでコラーゲン産生を増進する。また、マイクロ粒子としてフィラー中に存在するハイドロキシアパタイト粒子は、スペーサーとして物理的に機能する。
本実施形態に係るハイドロキシアパタイト粒子としては、焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子(以下、特に断らない限り、「ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子」とある場合には、「焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子」を意味する。)を用いる。ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子を焼成(例えば、800℃で1時間)することにより、粒子の結晶性が高くなり、且つ複数の一次粒子の凝集体が熱により融着して、より強固で安定な粒子となる。特に、分散焼成法により焼成することが好適であり、融着防止剤を用いて焼成することにより凝集しにくくかつ結晶性の高いアパタイトナノ粒子を得ることができる。このように、本発明でいう「ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子」とは、特に断らない限り、一次粒子サイズの焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子のみならず、複数の一次粒子が融着した凝集体も含む概念である。
一般的なハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の製造方法としては、例えば溶液法(湿式法)が挙げられる。これは、中性若しくはアルカリ性の水溶液中でカルシウムイオンとリン酸イオンとを反応させることにより合成する方法であり、中和反応によるものや、カルシウム塩とリン酸塩を反応させるものがある。前述のように、融着防止剤共存下で焼成することにより凝集の少ない結晶性のアパタイト粒子を得る。
本実施形態に係るハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の粒径(平均粒径)は、15μm以下であり、好適には5μm以下であり、より好適には1μm以下であり、更に好適には100nm以下である。ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の粒径をこのような範囲とすることで、繊維芽細胞を刺激してのコラーゲン産生増進作用を示す。また、このような範囲とすることで、生体内で異物として認識され難いサイズであることから、マクロファージの誘因が起き難いという作用を示す。ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の粒径(平均粒径)の下限値は特に限定されないが、例えば10nm以上である。尚、ここで示すフィラー中のハイドロキシアパタイト粒子(凝集体を含む)の平均粒径は、顕微鏡により撮影した画像における各粒子(例えば、50個の粒子)の粒子経を測長し、その平均径により決定する。また、フィラーを水等に膨潤させてハイドロゲルを溶解させて、取り出したハイドロキシアパタイトの各粒子(例えば、50個の粒子)の粒子径を測長し、その平均径により決定することもできる。また、ここで示すフィラー中のハイドロキシアパタイト粒子(凝集体を含む)の平均粒径は、レーザー散乱式粒度分布測定装置(島津製作所製SALD-7500)の高濃度測定ユニットを用いて粒度分布を測定し、粒度分布測定結果より50%体積粒径(D50)を求めることによって、決定することもできる。具体的には、スライドガラス(マツナミ S7213)の間に可能な限り延伸してフィラーを挟み込み、屈折率を1.65として測定する。
ハイドロゲルは、剤に用いることができるものであれば、特に限定されないが、例えば、カルボキシメチルセルロースゲル(CMC)、ポリビニルアルコールゲル、ポリアクリル酸ソーダゲル{例えば、Carbopol(登録商標)等}が挙げられる。原料となるセルロースの安全性、安価であることなどから、カルボキシメチルセルロースゲルが好ましい。
カルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)は、セルロースの水酸基にカルボキシメチル基が導入されたセルロースエーテルである。本形態において、CMCであれば特に限定されないが、CMCのナトリウム塩であるナトリウムカルボキシメチルセルロース(Na-CMC)が好ましい。
その他の成分としては、本形態の効果を阻害しない範囲内で、粘度調整剤(例えば、グリセリン等)や、分散剤(例えば、ポリアクリル酸等)等の公知の添加剤を適宜含んでいてもよい。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤において、ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の含有率は、皮下注射用剤の全質量を基準として、1質量%以上であり、好適には15質量%以上であり、より好適には20質量%以上であり、更に好適には30質量%以上である。ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の含有率をこのような範囲とすることにより、高い弾力を示すとともに、フィラーに配合されたアパタイト粒子の沈降による分離を防止できる。また、ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子の含有率が1質量%未満(特には、15質量%未満)であると、長期保管によるアパタイト粒子とゲルの分離が顕著となり得る。
次に、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の製造方法を説明する。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤を皮下注入後、まず、ハイドロゲルが吸収分解される。本形態に係る焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子は粒径が小さいために、焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子が放出される。そして、焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子による繊維芽細胞刺激によってコラーゲン産生が増進される。前述のように、生体内にて異物として認識され難いサイズであることから、マクロファージの誘因が起き難いという作用を示し、結晶性が高いことから、生体内で長期間生体活性を維持することができる。その結果、コラーゲンリッチ組織が皮下に残存する。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の使用方法は、何ら限定されるものではないが、一般的な注射器のシリンジに充填した後、皮下用の注射において使用することができる。特に、0.20mm以下の内径を有する中空針を有する注射器用の注射用剤とすることができる。ここで、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の具体的な使用方法として、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤を含有する注射器の好適な製造方法及び本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の適用方法に関して説明する。尚、これらはあくまで一例であり、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤の使用方法はこれらには何ら限定されない。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤を含有する注射器の製造方法は、脱泡工程を含むことを特徴とする方法である。以下各々の工程に関して説明する。
まず、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤は、脱泡工程によって、皮下注射用剤に含まれるエアが除去される。本形態に係る皮下注射用剤の特性から、遠心分離機にかける方法が皮下注射用剤の脱泡工程として好適であり、減圧下で遠心分離機にかける方法が最も好適である。より具体的には、カルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)ゲルを主成分とする等、チクソトロピー性を有するフィラーを用いる場合、遠心分離によってフィラーにせん断力が加えられることで、フィラーを低粘度化させ、脱泡効率を上昇させることが可能となる。更に減圧下で遠心分離を行うことにより、当該脱泡原理と合わせ、脱泡効率を更に上昇させることが可能となる。
・レシピ01 高粘度標準脱泡
1.3KPa 9/3 90sec (圧力 公転/自転比 時間)
・レシピ02 金属系フィラー脱泡
1.3KPa 3/9 120sec
1.3KPa 7/5 90sec
1.3KPa 9/2 60sec
・レシピ03 セラミック系フィラー脱泡
1.3KPa 2/5 60sec
1.3KPa 5/5 60sec
次に、脱泡工程後の皮下注射用剤をシリンジに充填し、本実施形態に係る注射器とする。
更に、本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤は、必要に応じて、殺菌・滅菌を行ってもよい。殺菌・滅菌方法としては、例えば、高圧蒸気滅菌が挙げられる。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤及び皮下注射用剤を含有する注射器の適用方法としては、従来の皮下注射用剤及び皮下注射用剤を含有する注射器等と同様であり、特に限定されない。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤によれば、カルボキシメチルセルロースゲルを主成分として、平均粒径が15μm以下の焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子を用いることで、前記剤の全質量を基準として、1~60質量%以上の焼成ハイドロキシアパタイト粒子を配合しても、内径0.20mm以下であるような細い注射針においても使用可能となる。内径0.20mmとは、内径が大きい注射針30Gに相当する。本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤は、内径が大きい注射針32G(内径0.18mm)以下の細い注射針や、通常の注射針30G(内径0.14mm)以下の細い注射針においても使用可能であり、通常の注射針32G(内径0.12mm)以下の細い注射針においても使用可能である。
本実施形態に係る皮下注射用剤は、発明の効果をより高めるために、36-37℃(体温)におけるチクソトロピー指数が、0.1~0.5であることが好適であり、0.1~0.3であることがより好適である。チクソトロピー指数は、下記射出特性によって測定された数値である。
シリンジに充填したフィラーの針からの射出特性を評価する方法を述べる。射出特性の評価方法には、本形態に係る流動性定量評価装置を用いる。この流動性定量評価装置によって、簡易に射出特性を評価することができる。
