Description

可生物吸收的聚合物组合物和医疗设备
背景技术
本说明书中引用的所有参考文献及它们的参考文献在适合用于教导额外的或备选的细节、特征和/或技术背景的情况下均通过引用的方式全文纳入本文。
本发明涉及一种用于植入体内脉管或管腔结构的医疗设备。在一个实施方案中,本发明涉及由如下物质包被的支架(stents)和合成的移植物:包含用于直接送递至周围组织的医药物质的控释基质,以及附着于其上的用于俘获该设备的血液接触面上的内皮祖细胞以在损伤部位形成成熟的功能性内皮的配体。具体而言,所述聚合物基质/药物/配体包被的设备(如支架)可用于例如疾病和病症(如再狭窄、动脉粥样硬化)的治疗以及管腔内的重建治疗。
本文的实施方案中公开的是一种新型的管状可膨胀骨架,所述骨架被制成适合于脉管结构内(包括心血管系统)的形状,并具有较低的生物排斥反应倾向。这种骨架可由使平衡了弹性、刚性和柔性的力学性能组合得以实现的可生物吸收的聚合组合物或混合物组成,或者包含这种组合物或混合物。所述聚合物组合物可包含包括可生物吸收的聚合物、二元共聚物或三元共聚物的基底材料,以及二元共聚物或三元共聚物的添加剂。有利的是,聚合物被选择用于进行酶降解及吸收。具体地,所述组合物可适用于“温和的”崩解机制,该机制使得所述组分聚合物的崩解对周围组织的损伤较小。
与使用金属设备(例如支架)相关的一个顽固问题是,会在植入部位形成覆盖在所述支架之上的瘢痕组织,即所谓的再狭窄过程。许多人已经得出这样的结论,即对于由金属支架的持久性方面所引起的支架血栓形成的持续风险,通过用以防止这种灾难为目的的药物包被所述金属并没有将其克服。相反,死亡率的增加也已经被与许多这些覆盖层关联起来。而且,金属支架和聚合物支架可阻止管腔重塑及膨胀。
关于支架,支架会妨碍组织的愈合,并会降低免疫应答的补体激活。支架在一些情况下还与炎症反应的降低以及在植入物和/或其组分材料破裂时发生创伤有关。常规支架还无法提供使植入(特别是植入至血管中)变得更容易的所需程度的形状柔性。
本发明人已经认识到开发医疗设备(如支架和脉管合成移植物)的需求,所述医疗设备是以生物相容的、可生物降解的、可生物吸收的聚合物混合物作为基底聚合物制备的,并且可用于治疗疾病(尤其是脉管系统的疾病)。所述医疗设备可改善现在使用的设备相关的问题。
正如本文所公开的那样,本发明人已经认识到,可对所述基底聚合物进行选择以使得有额外的分子自由体积来确保充分的分子运动,从而使得在生理条件下(例如在加入分子应变时)发生重结晶。增大的分子自由体积使水摄取率增加,除加速本体降解动力学(bulk degradationkinetics)之外,还增加了塑化效应。
在本文的实施方案中,所述组合物可适用于“温和的”崩解机制,该机制使得在进行崩解的同时又对周围组织友好(炎症反应更少,并且使得在植入物破裂时发生创伤的可能性更低)。通过选择具有增强的亲水性的聚合物或二元共聚物用作基底和/或添加剂,所述聚合物混合物可降低补体激活并使调理作用(opsonization)最小化或将其阻止。
在某些实施方案中,所述可生物吸收的骨架使得柔性和伸展性适宜于植入进行脉冲运动、收缩和舒张的例如心血管系统中。

发明内容
本文公开的实施方案为制备可生物吸收的医疗设备的方法,所述医疗设备例如由可生物吸收的聚合物组合物制成的支架和合成移植物。所述医疗设备是生物相容的和可生物降解的,并且在植入至患者体内后,不仅可以将药物送递至受损器官,而且可以为其提供机械支持。
在一个实施方案中,所述医疗设备可被制成将治疗药剂封装至其结构的壁中的形状,用于治疗诸如动脉粥样硬化、再狭窄等的疾病。在一个实施方案中,随着所述可生物吸收的设备崩解,该设备可对封装于其壁中的药物的或所述聚合物组合物的组成部分进行控释。在该实施方案和其他实施方案中,药物可以共价结合于构成所述医疗设备的聚合物材料或混合于其中。在某些实施方案中,所述医疗设备可以具有用于刺激植入物部位的正常内皮恢复的包被层。
在一个实施方案中,提供了一种用于制备具有包被层的聚合物医疗设备的方法。所述方法包括用可生物吸收的聚合物组合物制备聚合物医疗设备,所述聚合物组合物包含可以为可结晶的聚合物的基底聚合物。所述方法包括:制备可结晶的聚合物组合物;形成结构例如医疗设备(如支架)形式的结构;以一层或多层组合物和配体包被所述结构的内腔表面(luminal surface),所述组合物包含聚合物基质,并且包含或不包含一种或多种药物,所述配体用于识别及结合循环系统中的靶细胞。所述方法还包括包被医疗结构的相对面的步骤,对支架来说,就是以包含相同或不同的用于局部递送到周围组织中的药物的组合物包被管腔内表面(abluminal surface)。
在一个实施方案中,所述制备方法还包括这样的步骤,即在包被所述聚合物设备之前或之后将该设备设计并切割成特定的结构。在该实施方案中,组成所述包被层的所述药物和组合物可以在设计并切割所述设备结构之前或者在所述设备被包被之后施加。
在一个实施方案中,公开了一种心血管用管状可膨胀骨架(如支架),由可生物吸收的聚合物组合物或混合物制备而成,所述聚合组合物或混合物具有平衡了弹性、刚性和柔性的力学性能组合,使得所述骨架管在与合适的血管内腔插入工具连接的可膨胀送递系统(例如气囊式导管)上面可弯曲并皱缩。展开的骨架可以从窄瘪的送递构造膨胀至内腔直径足以植入到血管壁组织上。所述柔软形式的聚合物骨架还可以提供过度伸展其构形的能力,目的是有利于以最少的血管壁接触插入至血管中。另外,可以操作所述骨架以从圆柱形变成截锥形,使得易于安装、重定位及调整植入物。
在一个实施方案中,提供了可膨胀骨架形式的医疗设备,所述骨架提供了可皱缩及可膨胀但无应力银纹(stress crazing)的的结构。在其中所述医疗设备为支架的实施方案中,所述可膨胀的骨架提供了一组联锁的支柱(strut),用于将所述设备稳定于其展开的、膨胀的或植入的构造。
所述骨架聚合物的另一个实施方案在从皱缩状态向膨胀状态膨胀的径向应变过程中,通过分子重定向和结晶提供增强的力学性能。
在一个实施方案中,所述医疗设备被作为送递系统中的骨架植入物提供,所述送递系统包含与气囊式可逆膨胀或扩张工具相匹配的导管。在一个实施方案中,可以应用可被加热或冷却的气囊式膨胀设备。
在另一个实施方案中,提供的所述医疗设备具有在接触血管壁区域处是“友好的”的聚合物崩解部分。在某些实施方案中,所述崩解动力学缓慢到足以避免组织过载或其他炎症反应。
在一个实施方案中,提供了可在原位持续例如约3-4个月的最短保持30天的临床支持强度。对这类实施方案的骨架的评价标准可基于例如以分子量降低衡量的质量减少、力学性能的保持和组织的反应。
在另外的实施方案中,包含可膨胀支架的医疗设备被可操作地制成可从固态变成“橡胶态”的形状,使得外科介入更容易。在该实施方案中,所述设备在处于体内生理条件下时形成橡胶态。
任选地,可选择聚合物和设备结构,使之具有适宜于植入物与血管壁在心血管脉冲收缩和舒张过程中无摩擦接触的柔性和弹性。
优选地,一个实施方案中的所述骨架是可伸展的及有弹性的,但具有的硬度应足以能够抵抗血管中的心血管脉动压。
根据一个实施方案,所述可生物吸收的聚合物由聚(L-丙交酯)或聚(D-丙交酯)的基底聚合物构成。修饰性二元共聚物包括聚L(或D)-丙交酯-共-三-亚甲基碳酸酯或聚-L(或D)-丙交酯-共-e-己内酯,可用于连接所述基底聚合物。这些二元共聚物可被合成为嵌段二元共聚物或者为“嵌段状”无规二元共聚物,其中所述丙交酯链的长度长到足以进行结晶。晶质形态的形成可增强所述医疗设备的力学性能,提高加工条件,并提供交联部分结晶(例如热交联)的可能性。在该实施方案中,所述聚合物组合物使得在所述L和D部分之间形成丙交酯外消旋体晶体结构,以进一步提高所述医疗设备的力学性能。
还可以预见的是,所述组合物中的所述聚合物的降解时间可以通过提高降解动力学而缩短。例如,原料可以是较低分子量的组合物,并且/或者应用的基底聚合物可以是更加亲水的或易于水解链切割的。
根据本发明的实施方案,提供了用于制作基底二元共聚物的组合物和方法,所述基底二元共聚物具有一个长到足以进行结晶且不会在立体化学上阻碍结晶的部分(例如L-丙交酯或D-丙交酯),并且具有一个较小部分,例如乙交酯、聚乙二醇(PEG)或以单甲氧为末端的PEG(PEG-MME)。
除了基底聚合物、修饰性聚合物或二元共聚合物外,所述组合物还可包括其他增强降解动力学的材料和化合物,例如e-己内酯(e-caprolactone)二元共聚物部分,其中所述己内酯保持非晶质形且所产生的链节(segment)对水解更敏感。例如,这类组合物可通过与所述基底聚合物混合物混合或者与所述基底聚合物反应而制备。
所述组合物可掺有PEG二元共聚物,例如具有约1%的PEG部分的AB二嵌段或ABA三嵌段。丙交酯的力学性能(见Enderlie andBuchholz SFB May 2006)可以得到保持。PEG或PEG-MME二元共聚物的掺入还可用于促进药物与所述聚合物的附着,例如与药物洗脱医疗设备的结合。
另一个实施方案提供了一种骨架基底聚合物,该聚合物结合了较低含量(少于5%)高MW的PEG聚合物,即2-3IV二元共聚物,它使得所述丙交酯嵌段可结晶并且赋予所述基底聚合物相等的强度。
本文的实施方案的骨架可提供一种聚合物核心材料,该材料包含至少一种封装用于血管壁和管腔的局部治疗的药物。所述骨架核心降解的进度可提供例如同时缓释用于组织炎症和血小板聚集的治疗及预防的药剂。
所述聚合物组合物或混合物的另一个实施方案提供了在原位均一降解,避免了聚合物的成团释放。所述骨架可携带至少一个附着的或埋入的由不透放射物质制备的识别标记物。
