Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title highly pure microparticles having a very fine average particle diameter and being useful as, e.g., a carrier material in the medical field, by spray-drying an acidic aqueous solution of chitosan. CONSTITUTION:Chitosan obtained by deacetylating chitosan present in the integuments of Crustacea such as crabs or lobsters is dissolved in a 0.1-10wt% aqueous solution of an acid such as acetic acid or hydrochloric acid to obtain an acidic aqueous solution of chitosan of a concentration of 0.05-20wt%. This solution is spray-dried without a coagulant, a suspending agent or the like by spraying into hot air of 100-180 deg.C to obtain the title microparticles of an average particle diameter <=10mu.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to chitosan microparticles, and more specifically, to chitosan particles with high purity useful as carriers for medical products, materials for injections, adsorbents for chromatography, carriers for bioreactors, etc. Regarding chitosan microparticles.

(Prior art) Chitosan, which is obtained by deacetylating chitin, has been known, and due to its unique properties, it has been used as a variety of adsorbents,
Research is being conducted on its use as a carrier for medical products and as a medical material.

For example, when using chitosan as a variety of carriers, a technique for granulating chitosan is important. The most commonly proposed technique is to prepare an acid aqueous solution of chitosan, neutralize it with an alkali, and granulate it, taking advantage of the property that chitosan is re-precipitated by adding an alkali therein.

According to these granulation methods, granular chitosan having an average particle size of about several mm to several 100 μm is provided.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned known methods all involve coagulating chitosan in an aqueous medium, and although granular chitosan with a relatively large average particle size can be obtained, for example, It is very difficult to obtain chitosan microparticles with a size of about several tens of micrometers, and furthermore, it is impossible to obtain chitosan microparticles with a size of about several micrometers. This is because chitosan is granulated in an aqueous medium, and if the chitosan particles are small, they tend to aggregate in the aqueous medium, and it is difficult to dry them in such a small state without causing aggregation. This is because it is extremely difficult.

In addition, in the case of the conventional method, when granulating chitosan, a coagulant such as alkali is used to precipitate chitosan from an acid aqueous solution of chitosan, and a surfactant is used to stably disperse the precipitated chitosan particles. Since a clouding agent and the like are required, there is a problem that each of these sleeve auxiliary agents is mixed into the obtained chitosan granules, resulting in chitosan granules containing impurities. This problem is very important when trying to use chitosan granules in the medical field, and chitosan granules produced by conventional methods could hardly be used in the medical field.

In addition, recently, chitosan has been shown to have an immunostimulating effect.
In addition, it has been reported that chitosan can be used as a sustained release carrier for physiologically active substances, but for such uses, chitosan is required to have an average particle size on the μm order and to be free of impurities. Therefore, chitosan granules according to the prior art could hardly be used.

Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail. The present inventor has been conducting extensive research on the granulation of chitosan, and has discovered that chitosan is dissolved in an aqueous acid solution at an appropriate concentration, and as in the prior art,
When drying the resulting aqueous solution by spray-drying, in which the resulting aqueous solution is dried by volcanic stones in heated air rather than being added to a coagulation bath and coagulated, no coagulant or suspending agent is used. It was discovered that chitosan microparticles of 10 μm or less can be obtained extremely easily without any problems. Moreover, the chitosan microparticles with a size of 10 μm or less obtained in this way are spherical with almost no corners, and since no coagulant or suspending agent is used, the chitosan microparticles obtained in this way are It has extremely high purity and has been used not only for general purposes such as adsorbents, but also as a carrier material particularly in the medical field.

The chitosan used in the present invention is obtained by deacetylating chitin present in the outer skin of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp, and is a well-known material in itself.
Salts with various degrees of acetylation and various molecular weights are commercially available and can be easily produced. The chitosan used in the present invention may have any degree of deacetylation and any molecular weight among these known chitosan as long as it can be dissolved in an aqueous acid solution.

The acid concentration of the aqueous acid solution depends on the concentration of chitosan to be dissolved, but is generally preferably about 0.1 to 10% by weight, and the concentration of chitosan may be any concentration.
Generally 0.05 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight
It is about 10% by weight. If the concentration is less than the above range, the economic efficiency will be poor, and if it exceeds the above concentration, the viscosity of the chitosan aqueous solution will increase, making it inconvenient to handle, and the average particle size of the obtained chitosan microparticles may exceed 10 μm. I don't like it because it is. By adjusting the concentration of chitosan, the liquid feeding speed during spraying, etc., it is possible to provide various chitosan microparticles ranging from submicron to nearly 10 μm.

By making the value even closer to 7, chitosan microparticles can be easily obtained. Further, an organic solvent such as alcohol may be added to an extent that chitosan does not coagulate. Furthermore, an appropriate amount of useful drugs such as enzymes, physiologically active substances, etc. may be added in advance to the aqueous chitosan solution.

By spraying the chitosan acid aqueous solution as described above into hot air at about 100 to 180°C in such a spray dryer, water evaporates from the solution while leaving fine droplets, and the chitosan microparticles of the present invention are formed. is obtained. The chitosan microparticles of the present invention thus obtained are spherical bodies with almost no corners, and the average particle size is 10 μm or less. Since some acid may remain in the obtained chitosan microparticles, the remaining acid may be sufficiently removed by further washing with water or by neutralizing and washing with water, so that a small amount of acid remains. For applications where there is no problem, it may be left as is.

(Action/Result) The chitosan microparticles of the present invention as described above are spherical microparticles with an average particle size of 10 μm or less and a narrow particle size distribution, and are similar to conventionally known chitosan particles with a large average particle size. Not only is it useful as an exchange material for gel chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, etc., dialysis material, ion exchanger, carrier for bioreactors, etc., but also because it has an average particle size of 10 μm or less and high purity. It is useful for applications in the medical field that could not be used conventionally, such as as a carrier for physiologically active substances and as a material for intravenous injections.
