This application claims the U.S. Patent application No.13/841 submitted on March 15th, 2013,138 and the U.S. Provisional Application No.61/616 that submits on March 27th, 2012, the priority of 037, its disclosure is incorporated to herein by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to device, compositions and method, it is for reducing from the nutrient of food absorption taken in or the amount of other compounds in gastrointestinal tract (GI track), and other purposes.
Background technology
Term " overweight " refers to the body weight higher than normal range.Overweight and obesity disease by calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) determine, BMI be in order to kilogram metering body weight divided by with the height of meter Ji Liang square.The overweight BMI that is usually defined by is 25kg/m 2to 29.9kg/m 2, obesity is defined by BMI>=30kg/m usually 2, and serious fatness is defined by BMI>=40kg/m usually 2(or under the existence of other medical science coexisting diseases BMI>=35kg/m 2).BMI is less than about 22.0kg/m 2desirable, although this may be difficulty and perhaps be unpractical target for many individualities.
Overweight and obesity disease becomes worldwide healthy epidemic diseases along with day by day popularizing.The data collected by 2007 based on Center for Disease Control (CDC) and NIH, in the U.S., the American more than 2/3rds is overweight and the American of 26% to 55% fat.In the world, Overweight and obesity disease affects developed country and developing country simultaneously.Such as, be fat at the population of Britain about 23%, by contrast, be about 11% to 23% in Mexico, be about 30% to 40% in South Africa, and be about 10% in Pakistan.
Overweight and obesity disease is relevant to many health risks, comprises type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, cancer and apoplexy etc., and premature death.Compared with the individuality of normal type, BMI is 26.5kg/m 2to 29.9kg/m 2relevant mortality risk is increased to 1.5 times.BMI>=30kg/m 2the mortality risk of a variety of causes of those individualities be increased to 2 to 3 times.Economic implications is very large; The cost of the Overweight and obesity disease of the publication citation U.S. of Brookings Institution (Brookings institute) is annual at least 1,470 hundred million dollars.From the visual angle of medical science and economics, slimming argument is all clearly.
At present, can be used for slimming method and comprise behavior modification (metatrophia and exercise therapy), Drug therapy and fat surgical operation.By means of only going on a diet and tempering the needs of patients Drug therapy of object of failing to realize to lose weight.The FDA approved medicines of two classes clearly for losing weight.Sympathomimetic drug (such as, phendimetrazine, diethylpropion, phentermine (phentermine)) stimulates the release of norepinephrine and/or suppresses its re uptake in teleneuron.Draw an analogy, this effect is similar to caffeine, but the effect produced than caffeine is much better than.Sympathomimetic not only causes appetite inhibiting but also can cause hypertension and potential myocardial infarction, and therefore FDA restriction uses < 12 weeks to it.Ephedrine is the one of this apoplexy due to endogenous wind, and it exits from the market because of these adverse side effects recently.
Malabsorption medicine is the another kind of medicine of FDA approval for obesity.Orlistat (orlistat) is unique representative of this kind of medicine.Orlistat changes fat digestion by suppressing pancreatic lipase, causes 30% institute to absorb fatty malabsorption.This fat excretion in feces, instead of by body absorption.Orlistat be uniquely obtain FDA approval can for a long time for the medicine (up to 4 years) of obesity.
For the patient suffering from serious fatness, the unique confirmed mechanism that long term weight alleviates is bariatric surgery.Bariatric surgery is affected by malabsorption and/or restriction and loses weight.Malabsorption (orlistat as above) refers to feeding incomplete absorption.Health does not absorb the calorie of the whole amount be present in meals or given food.Restriction refers to the size reducing stomach, thus produces early stage satiety and reduce food consumption.
The Overweight and obesity patient not meeting the BMI standard of serious fatness will not perform the operation as the feasible selection lost weight, because be usually limited to severe obesity for the Insurance coverage of these programs.Therefore, Overweight and obesity patient a kind of FDA only can be used to permit for slimming medicine.Therefore, for the needs lost weight and the existence of body weight control succedaneum is very large.

Detailed description of the invention
The invention provides compositions, apparatus and method, it avoids affecting from the absorption digestive tract losing weight and/or body weight control etc. by making nutrient or other compounds (such as toxin) isolation.Said composition, apparatus and method use one or more component be made up of compressible absorption bases material.In numerous embodiments, this host material is applicable to conventional application.This compressible absorption bases material has and is configured to be packaged into efficiently in little space and/or is configured to absorb under one's belt and basic size, shape and/or the geometry retaining material through digestion.This device and compositions also can comprise one or more of hydrogel, solubility or insoluble fibre, wax and/or natural gum, to provide the mechanical performance of expectation and/or absorption or shielding properties.
Said composition and device decrease the nutraceutical calorie absorption of intake body.The operational approach of this device can be called " malabsorption ", wherein nutrient is absorbed by host material (such as, spongy material) and isolates in the gastrointestinal tract.Therefore, segregate nutrient not by intestinal metabolism or absorption, and is drained together with host material.This device is inertia and passively works and substantially do not disturb body metabolism, in fact, and the nutrient that absorbs with the Absorption of other digestion activities from intestinal villi of this device " shielding ".
In some embodiments, compressible absorption bases material can be spongy material, and can be the form of " spongy pipe " and/or " sponge drop ".Although pipe can be simple shape the most directly perceived for host material, host material can be or may not be the shape of pipe, because other geometries will be suitable and/or favourable in some embodiments.Such as, determine shape by mechanically sponge being ground to form fritter to produce without any and be erose sponge sheet unique separately each other, it can be suitable and/or favourable in some embodiments.The surface configuration comprising volume ratio sponge in sponge is even more important.
Spongy material can be naturally occurring material can be maybe foamed artificial type sponge, and it comprises the space of multiple opening---can be such as opening irregular or regular in shape or closed " unit "---and limited by spongy substrate " cell-wall ".Spongy material can also be such material, space that is that it has rule or the irregular sky replaced and that close, its there is the geometry of restriction or amorphous space or restriction with the mixing of irregular or amorphous space.In some embodiments, spongy material has the structure designed geometrically can disintegrating (collapse) under machinery, chemistry or heat effect or its combination, and can present the shape of expansion subsequently, the shape of expansion can be the shape of original-shape (before compression) or another kind of expection.The shape expanded usually in response to the interaction of gastric content and/or with the chemical interaction being present in suitable additives in device after remove machinery, chemistry or heat effect and occur.
When host material is subject to mechanical compress, heat and/or chemical treatment (such as, by making materials chemistry modification, crosslinked (crosslinking), compound or covalent bonding compound etc.) time, its size and/or volume can be decreased to size much smaller than the volume of original unpressed size and/or expansion and/or volume.Compressible character allows multiple host material component efficient packet to load in little space, such as, for the capsule sent or other carriers.Such as, size or the volume of compression can be less than about 50% of dilation dimension, or in other embodiments, be less than about 40% of the size of expansion or volume, be less than about 30%, be less than about 25%, be less than about 20%, be less than about 15%, be less than about 10%, be less than about 5%, be less than about 1%, be less than about 0.5% or be less than about 0.1%.Usually, the mechanical compress applied in release or chemical restraint (such as, by chemical reaction, destruction, crosslinked etc.) or both after, material can present its initial larger shape.
The mechanism of the expansion of host material may be also elastic return, although wherein material also inelastic body itself, but after a period of time of compression and/or pressurization, still can have enough stiffness (such as, molecule creep time long enough) thus material still can present its original-shape at least in part.
Host material mechanically can be flattened and stacking or compress simply, to be then encapsulated in such as in the conventional medicine capsule swallowed.Host material is usually by can being compressed and can forming by the material elastic and/or with resilience of absorbing fluid and/or material in digestive tract.Host material has inner porosity usually as natural sponge.The unit of sponge or sponge-like material can be arbitrary and/or unbodied (the artificial or natural sponge such as, with usually commercially available is the same).Alternatively, in some embodiments, the unit of spongy material can be more regular and/or rule on geometry, as cellular or other geometries and/or volume arrangement.
Relative to the device comprising the amorphous of natural fiber and/or non-geometric structure, the geometry of host material also can provide to the expansion of this device and its digestible fluid absorbs and/or the amplification of hold facility and/or the effect of multiplication.Relative to amorphous device (such as, there is erose device), this amplification and/or multiplication effect can be at least 2 times, at least 5 times, at least 10 times, at least 50 times or at least 100 times.Therefore, these embodiments need this device or the compositions of much smaller quantity, quality, volume, dosage or amount.Such as, in some embodiments, user only needs to swallow piller or capsule (such as, the pill of stock size or capsule).With amplification as herein described and/or the effect of doubling consistent, this piller or capsule effectively can provide larger digestible fluid absorbability and therefore make it isolate or shield and avoid being crossed body absorption.
In some embodiments, that can be the routine produced by conventional method or the natural sponge of spongy material.In other embodiments, sponge-type materials can be produced by such as foaming agent, activating agent, penetrating agent, and by extrusion molding, blow molding, injection mo(u)lding, thermoforming, machinery or the formation such as chemistry engraving and shaping.Alternatively, spongy material can by by smaller fragment and/or geometry and/or the unit that is shaped arbitrarily be assembled into comparatively big unit and making, it allows carefully to select sponge like morphology.Such as, spongy material can pass through expressing technique, blow molding process, injection or the preparation of thermoforming moulding technology, or can mechanically and/or chemically die or mechanically engraving or formation.Spongy material can for partly or entirely elastic, elastomeric, be with or without resilience force, recoil or partially rigid or semirigid and/or plastics.Figure 17 to Figure 20 describes and is applicable to some exemplary spongy material of the present invention.
Usual selection spongy material makes cell-wall will have " shape memory ", and namely once make applied machinery and/or the release of chemical compression stress, then unit usually recovers at least in part or is expanded to its original size and/or shape.In some embodiments, spongy material can only expand due to the moisture absorption making host material expand and shrink, and is similar to because air is compressed into swelling (swelling) caused in expandable plastic matrix (such as expandable bounce-back room).
The expansion mechanism of institute's release spongy material can be that under the physiological condition such as making material be in stomach by the recovery of shape-memory material, (such as, at 37 DEG C) presents its original-shape at least in part.Elastomer or material with resilience can be used for spongy material such as elastomeric material as latex, guayule, polyurethane rubber, silicone rubber, cellulose, nano-cellulose, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber or biomaterial such as elastin laminin, collagen and/or other native proteins, or after the time period extended, can maintain and preserve its original-shape under compression or return to shape memory or present any other suitable material difform.Alternatively, the mechanism that expands may be because the absorption of fluids of sponge to a great extent---such as, when comprising the material as hemicellulose with high-selenium corn power, and can sponge shelf structure be expanded hydrodynamic force.
Spongy substrate can be safe for people is swallowed material form.The example of suitable material comprises: the polymer of polyurethane, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylate, EVA, natural rubber, silicon, silicone rubber, latex, EPDM rubber, n-butyl acetate rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, PVA, PLA or copolymer.Suitable elastomeric biomaterials comprises silicones, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polyolefin and polydiene elastomer, poly-(vinyl chloride), natural rubber, Guayule rubber, Heparinized Polymers, hydrogel, polypeptide and elastomer, it can with other polymer or natural or artificial elastomer and/or filler as clay, starch, elastic fiber, elastic microfibers, elastic nano fiber mixing, and it can also mix with inertia and/or native compound such as cellulose and its derivant, elasticity and non-resilient filler and powder.
