Description

For producing the injection system of the substrate being formed in situ
The present invention relates to for preventing adhesion, specifically surgical adhesions, injection or application system.
At damage and Post operation, adhesion frequently occurs.They develop into accumulation and cicatrix, and cause post-operative complication.Tool Body ground, the surgical intervention of abdominal part causes the constitutional tissue adhesion in the patient of up to 94%.Peritoneum, such as serous coat, forms abdomen The liner in chamber.It is made up of visceral layer and parietal layer, wherein has serosity gap, and this serosity gap is filled with the liquid of 5 to 20ml Body, it is allowed to organ is slidably.Histologically, peritoneum include squamous epithelial cancer monolayer its be also referred to as between cortex, and slurry Thin layer of connective tissue under film.Within these few days, corticipetal damage causes being formed between this two-layer and surrounding tissue permanent Adhesion.In addition to the damage that operation causes, a cortex is also by being damaged as follows: the use of swab, perioperative surface are done Dry or contacted with Talcum by Pulvis Talci glove.Even if in Minimally Invasive Surgery, such as laparoscopy, activation process is also being run During set up.
Although the pathophysiology research of peritoneal adhesion has exceeded a century, but discovery up to now is still not exclusively 's.Fig. 1 concludes and shows the pathogeny of peritoneal adhesion and possible Therapeutic Method.Assume that the wound of peritoneal tissues causes inflammatory Reaction, and ooze out inflammatory cell and SFM.These formed fibre structure in about 3 hours, if deposited In enough fibrinolytic activity, then this fibre structure can be dissolved by serine protease plasmin within a few days ago.But It is that, if this situation does not occur, result is then to form the connective tissue of collagen-rich, the most permanent adhesion, its Then will come into question.
Although the most a few days ago, inflammatory process relates generally to neutrophilic granulocyte, but macrophage and mesothelial cell The generation of permanent adhesion plays a significant role.Two kinds of cell types all can be by plasminogen, i.e. the precursor of fibrinolysin, It is discharged in blood flow.In blood capillary, by the former activity factor of serine protease plasmin, (tissue/urine swashs plasminogen Enzyme plasminogen activating factors, t-PA/u-PA) change into fibrinolysin.These protease are also by a cortex secretion.Pass through concentration The inflammatory cytokine such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), transforming growth factor (TGF β) or the interleukin that increase trigger, activity tPA Concentration reduces at wound after-stage.This causes the fibrinolytic activity in abdominal cavity to significantly reduce, and this causes plasmin Solve between fibrin formation unbalance, and promote permanent Adhesion formation.In tissue, the reduction of activity t-PA concentration is transferred It is owing to the t-PA yield in mesothelial cell reduces and simultaneously plasminogen activating factors inhibitor type 1(PAI-1) The overexpression of the most important inhibitor of tissue plasmin activity factor.It is similar to primary wound close wherein Platelet is increasingly secreted PAI-1 thus is prevented fibrin Premature disintegration and therefore start primary wound Guan Bi, in wound After-stage, the mesothelial cell of a veins beneath the skin and endotheliocyte form plasminogen activating factors inhibitor to be occurred increasing.Therefore, Assume that t-PA/PAI-1 balance is the key point forming peritoneal adhesion.
About the treatment of permanent adhesion, there is different methods, such as:
I) constitutional prevents by avoiding damage to and inflammation,
Ii) prevent from solidifying containing serum exudate by anticoagulant,
Iii) fibre structure is dissolved by cellosolve,
Iv) apply mechanical barrier, until between cortex by separation and regenerate, and
V) prevent fibrous tissue from forming (fibrosation).
The application of cellosolve and the application of physical barriers are considered as promising Therapeutic Method;But, these methods by Do not find to be accepted by clinic in its disadvantages associated.Have been found that currently available cellosolve has the tissue adhesion activity of deficiency, according to It is presumably due to its short-half-life etc. in blood plasma.It is thus desirable to high dose produce strong side effect, and prevent its application. Known cellosolve is that (alteplase, can be with for the t-PA albumen alteplase that generates of streptokinase, urokinase and restructuringObtain) and modified forms reteplase (reteplase is purchased from).Alteplase is in blood plasma Half-life be only 3 to 6 minutes, the plasma half-life of the reteplase of modified forms increases to 13 to 16 minutes.Accordingly, it would be desirable to Multiple using with infusion pump to obtain continuous levels of drugs, it produces high side effect.
Physical barriers also has been used for reducing adhesion.But, post-operative complication can't be demonstrated actively up to now Effect.Currently available physical barriers system is limited to local application region.Known physical barriers is mainly absorbable tissue, as The combination of oxidized fibre cellulose fiber, hyaluronic acid and carboxymethyl cellulose or PEG gel.
Such as, by US2011/0052712A1 it is known that utilize biodegradable polymer as adhesion barrier.The document Proposing the preparation for generating adhesion barrier, it includes in a large number from biodegradable polymer and at least one water-soluble poly The granule of the combination of polymers of compound, it deposits organizationally with form membrane, to prevent adhesion.Use rear water-soluble polymer Purpose is from tissue imbibition such that it is able to realizes film and is formed and the offer of water so that granule gradually decomposes and discharges possibility Including activating agent.These granules can comprise such as antiinflammatory, as activating agent.But, by the property of the film that said preparation obtains Matter depends on using the retrievable water yield of site, and cannot be conditioned with reproduction form.
Have also been proposed and the activating agent preventing adhesion is put on damage or surgical site.Owing to liquid is maintained at the most for a long time Ideal position, have developed such system in the past: wherein activating agent may be encapsulated in biodegradable polymerization In thing, it is provided in pre-formed matrix.But, fixed system is uncomfortable for patients, particularly in abdominal cavity district.Cause This, have also been proposed the gel used that replaces, and it can comprise activating agent.Therefore, WO2004/011054 such as discloses polymerization Thing storage composition, it includes the polymeric matrix being made up of the different types of polymer with as little as high molecular, and this gathers Polymer matrix includes difficult miscible in the solvent of water, to improve the plasticity of polymer.The compositions proposed is polytype polymerization The compound system of thing, therefore produce and in application with high costs and complicated.
By comprising the water solublity or water-swelling polymer absorbing in substrate by water, the water from surrounding is used for The shortcoming of substrate formed known architectures is present in the activating agent that substrate includes, it is discharged the most rapidly by water so that make It is being initially present too high surfactant concentration by site.Be preferably uniformly to discharge, and be started without so-called " quick-fried Fried ".For realizing this target, US2009/0004273 proposes by utilizing polymeric system encapsulating protein and peptide, this polymer System is formed without hydrogel when system contact tissue fluid.For bringing the substantially continuous linear release of activating agent and preventing from opening Exploding during the beginning, two kinds of different polymeric systems that application is made up of with hydrophilic component hydrophobic components, it can be such as with dress Put film or coating form is supplied.
Live for making implant use personality, it is also proposed that be formed in situ film or implant.To this end, such as, DE10001863 retouches Having stated the implant being formed in situ, it is formed in situ by mixed carrier material the most at once and solvent so that at least Component Vectors material dissolves, thus forms liquid crystalline phase in the body.Carrier material provides in powder form, and such as by injection It is dried and obtains.Specifically, when it also includes activating agent, it is necessary to carefully make carrier material be sufficiently mixed, so that activating agent It is evenly distributed in the substrate of generation.
Further, the carrier system being formed in situ has been described for implant and has produced.Owing to the substrate in health is formed Cannot directly apply temperature and pH value change and reactive component, the most the most frequently used technology is solvent deposition.Therefore, exist In known method, implant is most often through the insoluble polymer dissolved in organic solvent and tissue fluid (lymph) Contact and be cured.For promoting precipitation, wherein in some known methods, as it has been described above, water absorption component is added compositions, Such as swellable polymers.Depend on carrier system and the organic solvent used, realize viscosity increase by forming viscogel, or Formed by substrate and realize real carrier system precipitation.To this end, often use lactic acid and the copolymer of glycolic, its precipitation can be led to Cross solvent and polymeric oxidizer controls.Depend on when the molecular size of medicine activity component, release dynamics and release continue Between all can be regulated as one sees fit.Two kinds of technology described in the prior areTechnology, it utilizes N-methyl-2-pyrrolidine Ketone is as water-miscible solvent;WithTechnology, it utilizes slightly water-soluble solvent.It is a known fact that, water miscibility is relatively Height causes implant to be formed comparatively fast, therefore causes matrix porous higher, and slightly water-soluble solvent or high concentration polymer solution Implant is caused to be formed slower.Former approach causes embedding component to discharge rapidly and activating agent initial release is higher, so-called " explode ".The latter's method causes sustained release, and after discharging and only starting from certain time.Based onThe product of technology Can be purchased, it is correlated with the form of hormone preparation of carcinoma of prostate treating advanced hormone.
This system is beneficial in that it directly can be used in preferable site and activating agent also can be in the phase of using Between be embedded into substrate.However, it is known that the greatest problem of the implant being formed in situ be morphology Control and the therefore medicine of implant The control of thing release.The form of implant depends on the condition using site, and therefore repeatability is nearly impossible, and hinders The only predetermined set of release dynamics.
Therefore, the most known system the most still has the disadvantage in that, and also not met application.Therefore, the mesh of the present invention Mark be to provide overcome these shortcomings, convenient use, use process is without complicated or expensive measures and contributes to being reliably prevented Damage and the system of postoperative intestinal adhesion.Additionally, system will provide the probability of delivery of active agent, wherein the release of activating agent will be Foreseeable, adjustable and occur with constant manner, and it is not resulted in the blast when starting, and without long delay.
It is also an object of the invention to provide such application system: it can be injected directly on expection site;Its energy Enough absorbing activity agent, specifically hydrophilizing agent, such as nucleic acid, protein or peptide, and they can be discharged with control mode;It can be Use site and produce stable film, and the releasing properties of this film is adjustable and optimizable.In addition, it will thus provide such Application system: it is PHYSIOLOGICALLY COMPATIBLE, and do not hinder the activity of protein, peptide and nucleic acid, therefore allow release activated product.
It is also an object of the invention to provide can effectively prevent surgical adhesions and contribute to preventing executing of permanent adhesion Use system.
Above-mentioned target is that the sprayable application system limited by claim 1 is realized.Sprayable application system, Hereinafter it is also referred to as injection system, including at least one lipophilic formed by least one polymer dissolved in a solvent Property component and at least one aqueous components and optionally at least a kind of activating agent.It can include further component.
Surprisingly it has been found that, the concrete compositions that the present invention limits provides such carrier material: conveniently use, stable, can Use on preferable site and with desired level, and activating agent can be provided to reach the preferable time period and with preferable rate of release Activating agent is provided.
Useful character is realized by injection system, and this injection system includes two kinds of components, and one of which component has Dissolving at least one polymer in a solvent, and another component has at least one aqueous solvent, wherein component is before administration At once or it is blended together each other during using and by spray application, wherein the component of the present invention is formed in situ substrate, This substrate is decomposed after predetermined amount of time, and discharges the activating agent optionally included in this time period with control mode.
By the film of the System forming according to the present invention, there is high-quality and use site at its place that plays a role Place keeps the scheduled time.Only by the combination of feature of present invention, it is possible to obtain the carrier material with desirable properties.
The key character of the present invention is polymer type and type of solvent and administration form, i.e. the most at once or During injection or the contact of two kinds of components of injection period chien shih.
One of them basic feature of system according to the present invention is lipophilic ingredients, and it includes based on glycolic and lactic acid At least one polymer and at least one biocompatible solvent of described polymer, this solvent has predetermined logP value, as It is described in more below.This lipophilic ingredients the most at once or injection time with include at least one aqueous solvent At least one hydrophilic component blends, and produces substrate by the precipitation of polymer, and this substrate forms physical barriers in injection site, Can effectively prevent surgical adhesions.In a preferred embodiment, lipophilic ingredients and/or hydrophilic component include at least one Activating agent, it embeds film during injection and film are formed, and therefrom discharges with control mode, additionally by physiology and/or life The thing section of learning to do stops surgical adhesions.
Being particularly advantageous in that of this application system, owing to specifically using the selection of component, polymeric matrix passes through polymer Precipitate from solvent and formed in injection period.If activating agent is embedded in compositions in this polymeric matrix comprises work Property agent.Polymer precipitation will mean, and exceed the solubility limit of polymer and polymer not re-dissolved or be dissolved completely in solvent In.By regulating each component, it may be predetermined that the porous of settling rate and film synthesis speed and therefore gained substrate, this Cause controlling releasing properties.In view of the transmutability of these polymer, there is multiple probability to regulate optimal properties;But, look for The easiest to the optimal solution for concrete condition.Therefore, it is described below being capable of the ginseng that Optimal system selects Number.
The key factor of system of the present invention is mainly: polymer used, for dissolving the solvent of polymer, polymer, Solvent and aqueous components content, and the optionally content of activating agent and form.
For substrate formed material should sterilizing, and its activating agent that must be allowed for comprising is in certain time Duan Qizhong can stick together and be formed or synulotic control release.This time period is in the range of at least two weeks up to Six weeks, preferably two to surrounding.Additionally, material must have certain quality so that it keeps its stability to be enough to realize preferable mesh The target time, i.e. be used for preventing adhesion.
Suitably the important parameter of polymeric oxidizer is molal weight (molecular weight).The suitably selection of molecular size is set up solid On the basis of having viscosity (natural logrithm of the relative viscosity of concentration C based on solute).In a way known, by At CHCl at 25 DEG C3In with 0.1% measure PLGA polymer intrinsic viscosity.For system of the present invention, the most such poly- Compound: its intrinsic viscosity in the range of 0.1 to 0.8, specifically 0.15 to 0.7.If this value is less than 0.1, then polymer is usual Too small, and sufficiently long activity can not be continued.If this value is excessive, then cannot ensure enough film qualities;Additionally, until release The delay started may be long.For realizing optimal properties, it is possible to use have the polymeric blends of different molal weight.
The molal weight of PLGA polymer also can be determined by conventional method, such as, passes through gel permeation chromatography.Find Molal weight PLGA polymer in the range of 10 to 63kDA is especially suitable for.
There is further factor and contribute to selecting to be suitable to the polymer of the application system of the present invention.The system of the present invention must Must be sprayable, this represents that it must be solvable maybe can be suspended in biocompatible solvent.
The quality of the film formed by the application system of the present invention and the tolerance of mechanical stability are the product of substrate and/or film Matter, it can be determined by the method described in embodiment.Fig. 2 shows that the film quality combined about multiple polymers and solvent exists Test result described in embodiment.Film quality is substantially selected by solvent and polymer molar quality determines.Determine about it, Clearly based on the total weight polymers of polymer used at supernatant (loss) and the percentage ratio in precipitation (substrate quality).Resultant layer Or the substrate quality of gained film is most important for the system of the present invention, because system must act at least two weeks and up to six Week.This is only possible in the case of the layer preferable release dynamics of sufficiently stable offer simultaneously of the film formed or formation. Therefore, substrate quality should be at following scope: 80 to 100%, preferably 90 to 100%, most preferably 95 to 100%, and wherein this value exists Determine under room temperature, i.e. about 25 DEG C, during wherein the method is described in embodiment.
Substrate quality depends on the molal weight etc. of polymer.It has been found that have the feelings of higher molar mass at polymer Under condition, by relatively large polymer doped matrix, and in the case of polymer has relatively low molar mass, polymer can be there is Loss (is formed for film).For example, it was discovered that the ratio for lactide and Acetic acid, hydroxy-, bimol. cyclic ester is 75:25 and intrinsic viscosity is 0.5 to 0.7 PLGA polymer for i.e. there is relatively high molal weight and use the polymer with esterification end group, almost 100% Amount of polymers used formed substrate.On the contrary, find that the ratio for lactide and Acetic acid, hydroxy-, bimol. cyclic ester is 50:50 and intrinsic viscosity < 0.6 And for having the PLGA polymer of free end group, polymer runs off during substrate is formed, i.e. it is not embedded into substrate.This Plant effect to be increased by solvent or improve.
As it has been described above, polymer used is one of system solvent.According to the present invention, ethanol acidic group and lactyl polymerization Thing, the most poly-(lactide-co-glycolide), it is common that poly-(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide), hereinafter it is also referred to as PLGA polymer, is used for application system.Polymer based on D, L-lactide can be used and based on mapping pure L-lactide Polymer.
Known lactyl and/or glycolic based polyalcohol quite a while, controlling delivery systme is also.Generally, PLGA polymer is processed to microgranule or implant, and then it can be applied in many ways.PLGA polymer is biocompatible And biodegradable, and its character may be adapted to different purposes.
The present invention utilizes the ethanol acidic group and lactic acid-based polymers dissolved in a solvent.The release dynamics of these polymer Regulated by its molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and end group thereof.
Therefore, by specifically chosen polymer and solvent, whether optional gained substrate realizes what diffusion was dominated, corrodes main Lead, or diffusion is leading and corrodes the release dominating both.The rapid substrate of high-quality realized according to the present invention is formed and constitutes in fact The important tool showing linear release kinetics and be lost without initial activity agent.
It has been found that PLGA polymer is more suitable for the body of the present invention than pure polylactide (PLA) or pure PGA (PGA) System.By regulation lactic acid units and the ratio of glycolic acid units, can domination property the most in a way known, specifically Degraded character.In the application system of the present invention, such PLGA polymer have been demonstrated it is preferable that its lactide unit with The ratio of glycolide units is in the range of about 75 to about 25 to about 25 to about 75.Statement " lactide unit and the ratio of glycolide units " All the time the mol ratio of unit in polymer is meant.The mixture of different types of PLGA polymer can also be used.Can make With the mixture of any kind of PLGA polymer, such as, the wherein mol ratio of lactide unit and glycolide units and/or rub Your quality or intrinsic viscosity and/or lactide unit kind (D/L or L) and/or the different polymeric blends of end group.Can pass through Conventionally test finds the mixture being most suitable for particular use.
The degradation rate of PLGA polymer depends on PGA or PLA content, and wherein PLGA copolymer degradation speed is usually shorter than PLA polymer or PGA polymer.It is therefore preferable that PLGA polymer.The shortest degradation time passes through lactide and the ratio of Acetic acid, hydroxy-, bimol. cyclic ester Polymer for 50:50 realizes.Due to methyl other in lactic acid monomer, the increase of PLA content hinders the hydrolysis of polymer, Increasing hydrophobicity, this causes degradation time longer simultaneously.And, the increase of PGA content or pure three-dimensional enantiomer L-in polymer The use of lactic acid, compared with monomer D-/L-lactic acid, extend the depolymerization time by increase polymer crystallinity, Because water diffuses more readily in amorphous domain.Therefore, more promptly degrade than crystal region in these regions.Therefore, poly- Compound degree of crystallinity steadily increases during degrading.Therefore, by regulating this ratio, degree of crystallinity can be set and degradation time is Predetermined value.Additionally, degradation rate can be promoted by shorter polymer chain and free end group.Free end group, i.e. free hydroxyl group and trip From carboxyl, increase the hydrophilic of polymer so that water and the diffusion rate of inclusions thereof in polymeric matrix increase.Additionally, By reduction intramatrical pH value, catalytic polymer hydrolyzes free carboxy.Therefore, there is the polymer of free end group according to this Invention is preferably used.
According to the present invention it is preferred to use such PLGA polymer: there is free end group, its lactide unit and Acetic acid, hydroxy-, bimol. cyclic ester The ratio of unit is 40:60 to 60:40, more preferably from about 50:50, and/or its intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.6.When use has esterification end During the PLGA polymer of base, preferred lactide unit and the PLGA polymer that ratio is 75:25 of glycolide units.
Suitable PLGA polymer can be purchased, as resomer polymer (be purchased from Evonik Industries AG, Essen, Germany), specifically, fromSeries orThe resomers of series.The suitableeest When polymer be, such as,502H, 503H and 504H orRG755S.Table 1 below lists the most poly- The properties of compound:
Table 1: usedThe character of polymer

Polymeric matrix becomes biocompatibility monomer lactic acid and glycolic by ester hydrolytic degradation, and it is subsequently by Cray cloth This circulation is metabolised to CO2And water.The degradation model of PLGA implant is based on bulk erosion, it is characterised in that water diffuses into Polymeric matrix is faster than depolymerization.Therefore, this causes the homogeneous quality of the whole cross section of polymeric matrix to be lost.Degraded Journey can be subdivided into three parts generally:
1. hydration: Polymer absorption water also expands, and its small portion ester bond is the most destroyed.But, mass loss is not also sent out Raw.
2. degraded: average molar mass significantly reduces.The hydroxy-acid group produced after ester linkage breaking causes in substrate under pH value Fall, therefore causes the autocatalysis that ester ruptures.The mechanical strength of polymer and/or mechanical stability are lost.
3. solution: at the end of degraded, low molecular weight fraction and oligomer are dissolved in the medium of surrounding, and molten Solve polymer segments so that be hydrolyzed into free carboxy acid.
Degradation time determines encapsulated macromole and the release of nano carrier material, because in view of its size, it is main Matrix erosion to be passed through is released so that can specifically control rate of release by degradation rate.The degraded of PLGA polymer Time can be controlled by the molal weight of its composition and polymer.In the case of commercially available PLGA polymer, intrinsic viscosity Degree is generally shown as molal weight size.
The viscoelasticity of system works equally, as shown in Fig. 3 and embodiment.
It is essential for the application system of the present invention, produce and keep its mechanical strength and/or stability foot Enough long-time to prevent adhesion the high quality material degraded subsequently.When the carrier system quilt formed by the application system of the present invention When loading activating agent, additionally need activating agent and discharge with preferable release dynamics.
The substrate quality of the film obtained by the application system of the present invention depends on polymer used, molten for its solution Agent and water solubility thereof.It has been found that the quality being used for the solvent the dissolving PLGA polymer substrate to producing with it has quite Impact.Therefore, dissolve produced substrate after PLGA in a solvent combines with aqueous phase and depend on type and the consumption of solvent, It is particularly depending on its hydrophilic.
On the other hand, the selection of solvent additionally depends on polymer type used.Polymer lipotropy is the highest, solvent lipotropy Must be the highest.The lipotropy of polymer depends on its end group etc., because the PLGA ratio with free acidic group has esterification end group PLGA more hydrophilic.
On the one hand, solvent must make the polymer of selection be dissolved to the sprayable degree of polymer, and on the other hand, solvent exists Dissolubility in water must be sufficiently high, so that precipitating rapidly after two kinds of component injections.The useful parameter that appropriate solvent selects It it is logP value.
Because as it appears from the above, substrate quality changes according to polymer molar quality also by solvent, the present invention enters one Step key character is solvent.The important parameter selecting solvent is the miscible degree with water.The highest with the miscible degree of water, substrate is formed more Hurry up, but, porous also increases.The miscible degree of water is the lowest, and substrate is formed the slowest, and quality is the highest.
The miscible degree of water of solvent can be determined by logP value.
LogP value represents Octanol/water Partition Coefficients, i.e. the concentration ratio of 1-capryl alcohol and aqueous solvent in two-phase system.LogP value It is defined as follows:
log P = log c 0 s i c &Omega; s i = log c 0 s i - log c &Omega; s i .
Being calculated or determined of logP value is known per se.The algorithm being adapted to determine that logP value is XlogP3, such as Cheng etc. Described (Cheng T., Zhaoy, Lix, Lin F., Xu Y., Zhang X.Et al., Computation of Octanol- Water Partition Coefficients by Guiding an Additive Model with Knowledge.J.Chem.Inf.Model.2007;47:2140-2148).The logP value calculated in this way is for lipotropy Material generates on the occasion of generating negative value with for hydroaropic substance.It has been found that in the system of the present invention, lipotropy can be used not bery High material so that preferably have XlogP3 negative value or the most minimum XlogP3 on the occasion of solvent.
It is proved such solvent and is suitable to the system of the present invention: its XlogP3 value is less than 0.2, preferably shorter than 0, particularly In the range of-0.2 to-1.5, particularly preferred XlogP3 value solvent between-0.25 and-1.0.If XlogP3 value is relatively Height, then the lipotropy of polymer used is higher.
It has been found that use site when the solvent logP polymer solution less than 0.2 mixes with aqueous components and is injected into Time upper, the form can predefine and reproduce that precipitates occurs, and this produces the polymeric film with desirable properties.
The lipotropy of polymer used is the highest, and the lipotropy of solvent for use must be the highest, and the miscible degree of its water must be got over Low.The difference between polymer solubility in solvent or water is the biggest, and the impact on film Cambium periodicity is the biggest.Therefore, as Fruit PLGA polymer used is to have esterification end group and therefore have the PLGA polymer of relatively highly lipophilic, then solvent for use should be same Sample has relatively highly lipophilic.Compared with the solvent of highly lipophilic, there is the miscible degree of poor water, therefore cause Super matrix quality.It has been found that When close to solubility limit and solvent, the system of polymer and solvent has that possible optimal water is miscible spends, it is thus achieved that most preferably tie Really so that after aqueous phase adds, film is formed quickly and completely, and wherein the polymer of high percentage is present in substrate.
Polymer dissolubility in a solvent has impact equally.Polymer dissolves the most abundant in a solvent, needs after a while The most water are from film precipitation polymers and form film.On the other hand, dissolubility must make enough polymer solubilized in a solvent. It has been found that such solvent suitably forms high quality film: for PLGA used, the dissolubility under its room temperature is at least 5% (mass/volume) (m/v), preferably 5 to 60%, particularly dissolubility 10 to 30%.The selection of appropriate solvent should be based on following relevant Property: solvent reduces with the increase of polymer molar quality for the dissolubility of polymer.The lipotropy of polymer is the highest, i.e. poly- Compound degree of esterification is the highest and/or polymer chain is the longest, and the lipotropy of solvent must be the highest.Therefore, when using highly lipophilic to gather When compound and highly-water-soluble solvent, polymer is by only with minimum degree soluble, and the polymer that lipotropy is relatively low, such as, tool There are free acidic group and the polymer of relatively low molar mass, are soluble in hydrophilic solvent.On the other hand, polymer dissolves the most abundant, Then precipitation needs the most water.It is 5 to 15% and the XlogP3 value of solvent is in the range of-0.3 to-1.0 when selecting dissolubility When polymer and solvent, fabulous result can be obtained.Under this combination, polymer add water time very rapidly precipitate and Form high quality film.XlogP3 value solvent in this range will be known to those skilled in the art.
Therefore, the solvent being highly suitable for is by the miscible degree of water good for combination and following polymer solubility: in desired quantity In the case of polymer, the dissolubility in solvent close to application temperature i.e., the saturation limit at 30 to 40 DEG C.In office In the case of He, the dissolubility under room temperature must be sufficiently high to form stable solution.
Tetraethylene glycol (TEG), glycerol formal and dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) have been observed that particularly suitable.Solvent tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol Polyethylene Glycol, also referred to as tetraethylene glycol (TEG) or glycogen (glycofurol), be the solvent of parenteral application for a long time.Up to 50% Concentration be employed, and in this diluent, solvent only shows hypotoxicity.
Glycerol formal is odorless solvent, has hypotoxicity, by 1, and 3-bis-Alkane-5-alcohol and 1,3-dioxolanes-4-first The mixture composition of alcohol.It is the fine solvent of multi-medicament and cosmetics.Especially in veterinary drug, it is used as injection solvent. Glycerol formal is commercially available, such as, withWith.The Ivumec of 0.27%TMGo through to execute under Corii Sus domestica With, and generally apply with 0.1mg/kg.

SiRNA and the cotransfection of plasmid DNA and determine tPA/PAI-1 ratio by Western blotting
As above transfect in 24 orifice plates, but have some distinguishing characteristicss.In each case, 750ng plasmid DNA is used It is 10 to carry out being combined (based on plasmid DNA amount) with 30pmol siRNA with l-PEI with N/P ratio.Culture medium is changed after 6h. After transfection, by western blot analysis protein, i.e. tissue-specific plasminogen activity factor and Class1 fibrinolysin Former activity factor inhibitor (PAI-1).Owing to protein is secretary protein, it can be detected in cell supernatant, Make to remove the 20 each cell supernatants of μ l at different time points, the sample (n=3) of every kind of prepared product is merged, and Centrifugal 10min at 14.000rcf and 4 DEG C, to separate dead cell.Sample is stored on ice all the time, and cold at-20 DEG C Freeze, until final analysis.

Statistical evaluation
Unless otherwise indicated, result is given with meansigma methods ± standard deviation.Show by means of non-paired t test computational statistics Write difference.Assume that significance,statistical is respectively at α=0.05(*) or α=0.01(**).
The relevant parameter that appropriate solvent selects is i) medicine relevance grade, ii) good organization's tolerance level, the iii) miscible degree of water, Iv) polymer dissolubility in a solvent.Based on these parameters, select some solvents for screening further.
Being widely used in and using the solvent of injectable storage system is tetraethylene glycol (TEG) (tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol Polyethylene Glycol), also referred to as sugar Protoplasm [28,29].Since the sixties, tetraethylene glycol (TEG) is the most with up to 50%(v/v) concentration be used as parenteral solvents (vein, muscle), and under this dilution factor, only show hypotoxicity [30].
Glycerol formal is tasteless solvent, has hypotoxicity equally, by 1, and 3-bis-Alkane-5-alcohol and 1,3-dioxolanes- Mixture composition [30] of 4-methanol.It is the fine solvent of multi-medicament and cosmetics.Recently, it is mainly used in veterinary drug, makees For injection solvent.Such as, IvomecTM0.27% subcutaneous administration being approved for pig, and apply [31] with 0.1ml/kg.
About dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) and ethyl lactate, almost without any research set up at solvent compatible In property.Ethyl lactate is used as the parenteral suitable carrier of anabolic agent, and does not consider its GRAS number, be considered to have with Toxicity and slight hemolysis that anesthetis is relevant are active.DMI is mainly locally used as penetration enhancers, and it is observed gently equally Micro-hemolytic activity [30,34].Additionally, the research of Matschke etc. can show, glyceride has good toleration, is PLGA/ The appropriate solvent [33] of PLA polymer.To this end, test triacetin, have hypotoxic short chain triglyceride [35, 36], it is described the most, as an alternative the alternative of NMP and DMSO, for the preparation extending release being formed in situ [29,37-39].
Film quality is determined according to solvent for use
The important prerequisite condition forming the storage system being formed in situ is polymer dissolubility in a solvent.At document In, assume that based on PLGA the dissolubility of the system that is formed in situ is at least 10%(m/v) [40].Different PLGA polymer are molten typical case Dissolubility data in agent such as NMP and DMSO and in ethyl lactate is collected [41].Respectively study display, polymer molten Xie Du increases with molal weight and reduces.Additionally, the water yield needed for in-situ precipitate and polymer dissolubility in solvent for use Relevant.Polymer dissolubility in solvent for use is the best, forms the water needed for storing substrate the most.On the contrary, the water yield of needs Increase with polymer content and reduce.
First preparation and dissolubility test utilize Model PolymersRG503H is carried out.In order to more preferably visualize, Aqueous phase blue dyes light blue dyes.For whole test solvent, 10%(m/v can be prepared) polymer solution.But film, About the incorporation in substrate of stability, homogeneity and aqueous phase, demonstrate clearly difference the most visually.Result exists in display In Fig. 4.Visible, in the case of triacetin is as solvent, it is impossible to enough to realize homogeneous membrane, contrary formation is clearly visible W/O emulsion.Other solvents all cause film to be formed, and wherein the incorporation of aqueous phase is dramatically different.Based on color substrates, the incorporation of aqueous phase Reduce according to following order: triacetin≤ethyl lactate < < tetraethylene glycol (TEG) < glycerol formal~DMI.
If, with aqueous phase incorporation in the polymer matrix in the LogP value comparison diagram 4 of each solvent, will clearly deposit At the dependency of film quality Yu the water solubility of solvent for use, it is characterized by polymer low-loss in supernatant.Must be false If triacetin and ethyl lactate, as lipophilic solvent (XlogP > 0), the miscible degree of its water is less than another solvent, therefore The failure film quality of soluble substrate.Therefore, the solution for great lipophilic PLGA polymer will only consider these solvents. Possibly, solvent mixture is more suitable for.Although injection can not be generated in the case of the test setting utilizing triacetyl glycerol Film, but ethyl lactate causes the most inhomogeneous porous membrane structure, the most only can mix very small amount dyestuff.On the contrary, sweet when using When oil formal, DMI or tetraethylene glycol (TEG), form film in situ.Therefore, if it can, preferably XlogP value is the solvent less than 0.
For can preferably evaluated for film quality, determine by returning title (backweighing) dry matrices in injection test (loss) and the amount of polymers of (implant) in precipitating in amount supernatant.When drawing solvent partition coefficient P for substrate quality, As shown in Figure 4 B, find that film quality is the linear function of the miscible degree of aqueous solvent.Chart clearly illustrates, substrate is formed can be with solvent The miscible degree of water increases and improves.<under the P value of 0.25, the polymer volume of about 80% is impregnated in substrate.
About test further, test and the different polymer of solvent glycerin formal, DMI and tetraethylene glycol (TEG) combination.Three second Acyl glyceride is not studied further owing to failure film is formed, ethyl lactate due to unstable and porous heterogeneity membrane structure also And not studied further due to its strong hemolytic activity.
The tissue tolerance of solvent
Additionally, the impact that the solvent of research 11 hours sections is on metabolizing cells viability.Metabolizing cells viability is passed through Cell ATP value determines, cell ATP value is the tolerance of viability.In the case of material has acute toxicity, under this value is rapid Fall, therefore, it is possible to identify the tissue tolerance of solvent.Fig. 5 show all test solvent by the LD of measuring and calculation50Value, as temperature Educate the function of time.
The toleration of solvent reduces according to following order: glycerol formal > > DMI > tetraethylene glycol (TEG).At LD50Value is about 1g/ml's In the case of, under the incubative time less than 6h, glycerol formal demonstrates the minimum toxicity in test solvent.Sweet with DMI and four Alcohol is compared, and this shows that toleration raises 220 times and 400 times at the end of test respectively.

Biological material analysis
The biomaterial analyzed is the biodegradable copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic, poly-(D, Pfansteihl-copolymerization-ethanol Acid) (PLGA) polymer, from Boehringer Ingelheim(trade name), it is used by FDA approval In parenteral administration.
The dependency of the polymer of substrate quality and selection
As it has been described above, the polymer content percentage ratio that can mix film changes according to the water solubility of solvent for use.Similar Ground, will utilize different polymer research substrate quality in more detail.Owing to about test polymer, tetraethylene glycol (TEG) can not be steamed Send out, the most not data of this solvent.Fig. 2 shows the result of the polymer with following composition: (a) PLA/PGA50:50, tool There is free acidic group (H series);(b) PLA/PGA75:25, has esterification end group (S series).Due to its higher lactic acid content and Esterification end group, the latter is than H series more lipotropy.
Sample chart, in the case of polymer molar quality is higher, all has relatively large polymer to be incorporated in two series Enter substrate.This effect is significant for DMI in H series, and is all significant for two kinds of solvents in S series.When Use glycerol formal andDuring 755S, almost the polymer volume of 100% forms substrate (97.6 ± 0.6%).
The comparison of series of polymers and test solvent combination shows, compared with H series and with in two series of polymers DMI compares, and glycerol formal is lost reduction by 20% with the polymer volume of S series.These results can be again by two kinds of solvents The miscible degree of different water explain, it causes polymer different solubilities in a solvent, and the power learning aid forming film Have a significant impact.Although two series all can be soluble in DMI, but S series is insoluble in glycerol formal compared with H series.The latter shows Strong expansion performance is shown.Therefore, it is necessary to it is assumed that S series in glycerol formal is configured proximate to the body of solubility limit System.In conjunction with the miscible degree of good water of glycerol formal, this causes film quickly and completely to be formed.
The viscoelasticity of the film being formed in situ
In dynamic shearing is tested, the viscoelasticity of analyzing film.To this end, should by having the oscillatory shear limiting amplitude and frequency Power puts on sample, and determines the detrusion of gained, and it characterizes also referred to as phase shift again by amplitude and frequency.This Two kinds of response parameters can be converted into storage modulu G` and loss modulus G`` by mathematical method subsequently, and wherein storage modulu characterizes Storage share in the kinetics introduced or strain energy of distortion, is therefore reusable share (elastic share), and mould is lost Amount is the tolerance owing to vibrating the energy discharged in the form of heat, therefore constitutes the share (viscosity share) lost.In figure 3, H system Two modulus of the different films of row are shown at the driving frequency of 1Hz.
When being compared to each other elasticity and the viscosity share of two kinds of films, obtain the viscoelastic personality that different solvents is the most different Sensitivity.Although in the case of 502H film, viscoelasticity can by select suitable solvent (maximum factor: be respectively 29(G`) and 22(G``)) rather broadly regulated, but 504H film is demonstrated that rheology shows, and unrelated with solvent for use.The latter shows Go out the mechanical strength [46] of 2 to the 4kPa of the meat fiber (8 to 17kPa) that can be equal to, and there is the main damage based on elasticity Consumption factor (G`/G``) > 1 so that in testing these films behave like solid.Unique exception is DMI, its original position film Based on viscosity, its loss factor is 0.85.Thickness > 500 μm these films with502H film is compared relatively thick (DMI:500 μm, glycerol formal: 600 μm, tetraethylene glycol (TEG): 800 μm).The latter is at the plate vertical spread of flow graph, and only demonstrates The thickness of 300 μm, and unrelated with solvent for use.
Based onThe loss factor of the film of 502H all < 1, and demonstrate that gel sample shows, between solvent Notable strength difference is apparent.Only in the case of tetraethylene glycol (TEG), can realize film-strength can be equal to504H, its Loss factor is 0.79.The intensity respectively 130 and DMI of 900Pa and glycerol formal are not even roughly the same, Er Qiexian Illustrate that notable viscosity is main performance (loss factor > 0.5).

The preparation of the film being formed in situ
Based on the experience from the injection test carried out, have developed such preparation: include i) PLGA polymer, molten In one in the used three kinds of solvents of Xie Yu, ii) aqueous phase, and iii) plasmid DNA, as model active agents.In theory, The plasmid DNA of " exposed " and complex form can be impregnated in substrate.But, due to " exposed " plasmid DNA the most relatively inefficient transfect Cell, before embedding film, plasmid DNA is compound (N/P ratio 10) with l-PEI, and as nanoscale polycomplex doped matrix. By so, it still prevents Medium Culture pH and declines, and pH declines and occurs to pass through polymer during polymer architecture is degraded Monomer is released in substrate, and typically comprises the problem [47] of sensitivity macromole.
Polycomplex can be impregnated in as follows stromatolysis in aqueous phase [44] or be dispersed in PLGA solution [28, 45].But, it has been found that directly add a small amount of water (about 5%) in utilizing the preliminary test as an example of PLGA/ tetraethylene glycol (TEG) system Polymer can be caused to precipitate.Therefore, in the case of jet film high capacity, need to use high concentration plasmid DNA solution, but, High concentration plasmid DNA solution has low stability and easily forms aggregation.Therefore, protein formulation [28,45] it is similar to In PLGA solution, disperse the polycomplex as lyophilized products or to be resuspended in aqueous phase before use be favourable.Logical Often, preparation composition is as follows:
1) lipophilic phase (1ml): the 10%(m/v in glycerol formal, tetraethylene glycol (TEG) or DMI) PLGA polymer (502H, 504H)
2) aqueous favoring (1ml): water for injection
3) activating agent: the lyophilizing polycomplex being resuspended in lipotropy or aqueous favoring
The polycomplex preparation of powder type
In pharmaceutical industry, lyophilizing is one of standard method of stabilization formulations during storing.By molecule is embedded assistant In agent substrate, can during drying stabilization formulations.Depend on being dried phase, different protective agents can be used.Therefore, cryoprotective agent Prevent solution from crystallizing in refrigerating process.System is solidified into subcooling films, and be separated the most completely (solidification liquid, glass). On the contrary, freeze drying protectant provides the protection in the progress further of refrigerating process.It replaces activating agent under the formation of hydrogen bridge Key with water.
Polycomplex also can be lyophilized under adding cryoprotective agent and freeze drying protectant so that after can preventing resuspension Aggregation formed [48,49].As lyophilized products, polycomplex preferably can be stored [48], and up to 1mg/ml The solution concentration of plasmid DNA concentration becomes possible [50].Sugar, such as sucrose or trehalose, serves as freeze drying protectant and cryoprotection Agent, and have been observed that and be suitably stable for polycomplex [48,49].The water-soluble substances similar to it can promote big point further Sub-activating agent discharges based on PLGA film from be formed in situ.During substrate is formed, the hole that water is filled is dissolved due to these materials And produce, can be spread from substrate subsequently by this hole activating agent.About the similar effect of substrate high capacity be described [27, 33]。
The different sugar [48,49] of the concentration that test uses in standard base.Polycomplex based on l-PEI is being frozen It is resuspended to after Gan in water for injection, does not homogenizes, and test its transfection effect to human bronchial epithelial cell Power.Realizing good transfection efficiency under each concentration applied together with disaccharide sucrose, its effect is compared with brand-new polycomplex Increase by 10 times.Result shows in fig .15.Suitable value was described by [48] such as Talsma.Can expect that may result in granule exists More than the only 2 times concentration of osmotic effect mixing increase in cell [50].But, particle size measures display, and particle size exists It is slightly increased after lyophilizing.The particle size of the granule of brand-new is~100nm, and depends on disperse medium used, and granule is freezing 200-300nm is grown at PI < 0.2 time after Gan.
For the polycomplex of powder type can be used and mixed preparation, should be equal in mortar after freeze drying by it Matter and pass through Ultra-Turrax(UT) or glass homogenizer (H) be dispersed in PLGA solution.Tested by transfection and agar Sugar gel electrophoresis analysis polycomplex stability after homogenization and the subsequently resuspension in water for injection.To pneumonocyte The test result of system shows to homogenize and does not changes Transfection efficiencies (Figure 15 B).Add the plasmid DNA topology under Heparan sulfate right According to also without the difference (Fig. 7) demonstrated in water for injection between lyophilizing polycomplex.
For all three process for dispersing (UT, homogenizer dissolve), it is resuspended in the sample in water for injection (untreated) Similar band figure is all demonstrated with those polycomplexs passing through homogenize (grinding in mortar) before resuspension.With right Compare according to not compound plasmid DNA, the most all observe lax form (relaxed form) slightly Increase.For water for injection, the degraded of plasmid DNA is inconspicuous.
As an example, glycerol formal shows as solvent.The band that untreated or before homogenizing sample compares with water Do not find differences between figure.Utilize homogenizer as process for dispersing, the most unchanged be observed.Utilize Ultra-Turrax, PDNA mainly stays in gel pockets with complex form.Here, for untreated samples, compared with another sample, can detect that two The most weak individual band.It should be noted, however, that when using equivalent Heparan sulfate, under the influence of glycerol formal, the biggest Amount pDNA stays in bag with complex form.About the UT sample homogenized, gel is observed slightly stain;But, heavy at this Shen, the plasmid DNA without pieces is destroyed and can be observed.

Determine the release dynamics of the plasmid-DNA polycomplex of preparation
Activating agent in theory can from polymeric matrix diffusion, (diffusion be leading due to i) activating agent from being released in of implant Release) or the erosion (corrode leading release) [51,52] of ii) substrate.About activating agent from bulk erosion polymers substrate Release, such as the situation of PLGA system, describes a phase or two according to drug loading, polymer molar quality used and polymer concentration Phase release characteristic [53,54].
Additionally, the initial release of activating agent can occur, precipitate completely even up to polymer.Mole matter according to polymer Amount, solvent for use and incorporation select, the release dynamics of the film that test is formed in situ.Test following combination:
1. lipophilic phase (1ml):502H or 504H10%(m/v), be dissolved in glycerol formal, tetraethylene glycol (TEG) or In DMI
2. aqueous favoring (1ml): water for injection
3. activating agent: the polycomplex (l-PEI/pDNA) of lyophilizing, homogenize form
After freeze drying, polycomplex is homogenized in mortar, and be resuspended in aqueous favoring (mix and select A) or logical Cross homogenizer and be dispersed in lipotropy PLGA solution (mix and select B).502H and 504H uses different solvents Two kinds incorporation select release characteristics show in figure 6.
Figure line shows: figure (A):502H, the polycomplex in aqueous favoring;Figure (B): RG502H, lipophilic mutually in polycomplex;Figure (C):504H, the polycomplex in aqueous favoring, figure (D):504H, lipophilic mutually in polycomplex.
When observation polycomplex mixes film by being dissolved in aqueous favoring in the ban, it may be clearly seen that polymer used Molal weight and the solvent for use appreciable impact (Fig. 6 A, C) on release dynamics.Utilize DMI as solvent, combination short chain polymerization Thing502H, activating agent can not be impregnated in (Fig. 6 A).During polymer precipitates, the polycomplex of 100% is just It is released.But, utilize longer chain polymer504H, it is achieved that general biphase release.This includes The release (stage 1, spill release characteristic) that initial propagations is leading, then corrodes leading release (stage 2, linear kinetics) (Fig. 6 C).To this end, it is readily apparent that when using DMI, the most all realize the highest initial release, its basis Mix selection and polymer chain length and change between 10% to 100%.
On the contrary, glycerol formal shows low initial release, spreads leading release the most slowly.Only along with matrix erosion Start to corrode, it was observed that polycomplex accelerated release in vitro, it depends on that the chain length of polymer used is respectively after 15 and 26 days Start.But, film based on tetraethylene glycol (TEG) shows, at 32%(respectively502H) and 50%( After medium initial release 504H), observe time frame in medium to zero release.Only in the situation of longer chain polymer Under, there is the low release (Fig. 6 C) caused after 26 days due to matrix erosion.
But, when (mixing and select B) during polycomplex being dispersed in lipotropy PLGA solution, whole polymer/solvent The polycomplex initial release rate of combination and the diffusion from substrate all reduce, and release is substantially carried out corroding leading releasing Put (Fig. 6 B, D).Test solvent demonstrates the similar release profiles that varying strength postpones that has, and wherein rate of release is according to following Order increases: tetraethylene glycol (TEG) < < glycerol formal < DMI.Although the release characteristic of DMI and glycerol formal appears clearly from short chain The erosion rate of 502H polymer is shorter than long-chain 504H polymer (the 17th day-ratio-the 29 day), but in the case of tetraethylene glycol (TEG), Due to the strong delay of substrate, between polymer, zero difference can be observed (5.4%-is than-8.8% cumulative release after 30 days).
In a word, DMI demonstrates the fastest release for whole combinations of long-chain or short chain polymer and different incorporation selection. The release continuously of up to 100% activating agent release is available504H, real by incorporating active agents into aqueous favoring Existing.Mix the release that the polycomplex display of film based on tetraethylene glycol (TEG) is dominated without diffusion.Observe time interim, in initial release After, the additionally pDNA amount of releasable up to 14%, wherein initial release changes between 0 and 48%.Mixing the situation selecting A Under, it is of a relatively high, and when polycomplex be dispersed in lipophilic mutually in time, can be observed without initial release.Based on glycerol acetonide The film of formaldehyde demonstrates low initial release, and unrelated with embedding grammar;But, even if when using these films, polycomplex The most only can be released by matrix erosion after 23 days.

Analyze in-vitro transfection effect
First release in vitro feature is determined as it has been described above, by utilizing reporter gene luciferase to carry out.At these On the basis of data and dosage form require, selective polymer504H, DMI is as solvent in combination, comes for film.Two Plant activating agent and will be impregnated in the aqueous favoring of substrate with lyophilized form.By preliminary test, it is contemplated that the activating agent initial release of 55%. This can largely facilitate adhesion region after surgery use cover Post operation acute stage (the 2nd to 5 day) [79-81].But, Here, the non-physiology of tPA concentration should be avoided to increase, because can increase peritoneum oozes out (bleeding) risk.Alternatively, survey Try by504H and the film without initial release of glycerol formal composition.Reaffirming at this, polycomplex is dissolved in parent In aqueous phase.First with activating agent 1 analyzed in vitro preparation, this activating agent 1 and l-PEI are incorporated in lyophilizing under interpolation 10% sucrose again.Separately Outward, with 1:1 form of mixtures use coding by the pMetLuc plasmid of the luciferase of emiocytosis, as comparison.
About the testing in vitro in cell analysis, mesothelial cell (Met5A) is made to grow on insert, and subsequently will polymerization Thing film is ejected on cellular layer.Hole can be divided into dual chamber system by the application of insert, and wherein mistress and Nei room are equivalent to peritoneum Original position dissect, constant mass exchange can be carried out between it so that cell can be supplied from top side and bottom side with medium.Carefully Born of the same parents' form is controlled by optics by optical microscope, but on film, injection causes it to have difficulties.Can divide by utilizing insert Analyse the expression of reporter gene luciferase through 30 day time in two Room.
Figure 10 shows room.Give in water for injection, wherein use complete plasmid DNA dosage with bolus, and without Delivery systme is compared, and the film being formed in situ demonstrates that luciferase level reduces by 103To 104Times.Gene expression is described above Carry out.At these about in the research of release dynamics, the film on DMI basis demonstrates the initial release of 56%pDNA consumption, and In further process, until within the 26th day, demonstrating the release of further 38%.According to this release characteristic, for DMI basis For film, have been observed that gene expression increases after 2 days, after again 7 days, drop to base value, and increased again by the 23rd day To medium value.On the contrary, when glycerol formal is used as solvent, gene expression is in biphase middle generation, and without at the beginning of polycomplex Begin to discharge.After 10 days before express the most medium increase of speed control, further maximum, Qi Zhongji can be observed after 23 days Twice is increased because expressing.Low molecular weight fraction instruction in cell culture medium starts to corrode.
Including glycerol formal andThe tPA of the substrate of 504H expresses display in Figure 10 A with independent The film (inactive film) of medicament and inactive dose compares.It is similar to luciferase expression, without activating agent independent of storage system Medicament produces high protein level in the time through 29 days, and wherein tPA concentration increases by 100 to 40 times compared with base value.Class As concentration Recomposed tPA (alteplase) in intraperitoneal gives blood plasma realize [82] afterwards.Therefore, can be real by matrix formulations Existing value presents and is in close proximity to physiological condition.For blood plasma and peritoneal fluid, the free tPA-antigen concentration of 4 to 6ng/ml Being described [82-84], additionally the meansigma methods of 1.3ng/ml tPA is restricted to PAI-1 [84].Surprisingly, by inactive Film use the value being slightly increased, wherein when release starts by active membrane (there is the activating agent of embedding) with inactive Film is compared and is realized 4 times of increases.This effect is until walking flat on the 16th day, and is down to base value in 2ng/ml, tPA level.This is assumed It is because the following fact: (seeing the 7.3rd chapter) can be released by the 15th day from substrate almost without more polycomplexs.Surveying At the end of examination, substrate is not corroded completely so that embeds polycomplex and can be detected (Figure 10 B) in jet film.
