Description

本発明は、硝子体可視化剤に関する。   The present invention relates to a vitreous body visualization agent.

硝子体切除術は、多くの眼疾患を治療する上で不可欠な手術手技である。当該手術は、透明な硝子体を見極めながら切除する(図1a)ため、熟練を要する上、いかに硝子体を残さず切除するかが問題となる局面が多く(図1a)、難易度の高い手術であった。   Vitreous resection is an indispensable surgical technique for treating many eye diseases. Since this surgery involves excision while identifying the transparent vitreous body (FIG. 1a), it requires skill, and there are many situations in which excision without leaving the vitreous body is problematic (FIG. 1a), which is a highly difficult operation. Met.

2001年頃より、硝子体切除術時にトリアムシノロンアセトニド(ケナコルト、登録商標)を硝子体腔内に投与して硝子体を可視化する手技が普及し始めた。この手技は、トリアムシノロンアセトニドを投与することにより、硝子体に当該薬剤の白い粒子を付着させ、透明な硝子体の辺縁を白く浮かび上がらせ、硝子体と眼房水及び眼内灌流液とを明確に区別する方法であり、これにより硝子体手術が従来よりも容易かつ安全になった(図1b)。   From around 2001, a technique for visualizing the vitreous body by administering triamcinolone acetonide (Kenacort, registered trademark) into the vitreous cavity at the time of vitrectomy began to spread. In this procedure, by administering triamcinolone acetonide, the white particles of the drug adhere to the vitreous body, the edges of the transparent vitreous body appear white, and the vitreous body and aqueous humor and intraocular perfusate are removed. This is a distinct method, which makes vitrectomy easier and safer than before (FIG. 1b).

しかし、トリアムシノロンアセトニドは、ステロイド製剤であり、副作用も多く、特に眼圧上昇と易感染性が問題になっている。眼圧上昇の例としては、トリアムシノロンアセトニドを硝子体内に注射した場合の合併症として、黄斑変性において30%に高眼圧が出現したという報告(非特許文献1)や、網膜静脈閉塞に伴う黄斑浮腫においては78%に高眼圧が出現し、そのうち11%で手術が必要だったという報告(非特許文献2)などがある。易感染性の例としては、硝子体への注射での眼内炎の発生頻度は0.38%であったという報告(非特許文献3)がある。硝子体切除術時にトリアムシノロンアセトニドを使用した場合の眼内炎の発生頻度は低いといえるが(非特許文献4)、硝子体内への注射では眼内炎の頻度は高く、眼内にステロイドが存在する時点で、感染症には十分に注意する必要があった。   However, triamcinolone acetonide is a steroid preparation and has many side effects, and in particular, increased intraocular pressure and easy infection are problems. Examples of elevated intraocular pressure include reports of high intraocular pressure appearing in 30% of macular degeneration as a complication when triamcinolone acetonide is injected intravitreally (Non-Patent Document 1), and accompanying retinal vein occlusion In macular edema, high intraocular pressure appeared in 78%, of which 11% reported that surgery was necessary (Non-patent Document 2). As an easily infectious example, there is a report (Non-patent Document 3) that the incidence of endophthalmitis upon injection into the vitreous was 0.38%. Although it can be said that the incidence of endophthalmitis when triamcinolone acetonide is used during vitrectomy is low (Non-patent Document 4), intraocular inflammation is frequent and steroids are present in the eye. At present, it was necessary to pay close attention to infections.

本発明の硝子体可視化剤の投与形態は、注射投与、とりわけ注射による局所投与が望ましい。   As the dosage form of the vitreous body visualization agent of the present invention, injection administration, particularly local administration by injection is desirable.

本発明の硝子体可視化剤の投与量は、投与する患者の症状、特に眼の状態、年齢、投与方法等によって異なるが、硝子体可視化剤を硝子体腔内に投与して、硝子体が視認出来得る量であればよい。炭酸脱水素酵素阻害を有する化合物は、硝子体手術時に、通常0.01〜1mgを投与すると硝子体が視認できる。好ましくは、0.04〜0.4mgの投与である。これを硝子体腔内(体積は約4ml)に均等に拡散した場合の濃度に換算すると、通常は0.0025〜0.25mg/mlであり、好ましくは0.01〜0.1mg/mlに該当する。例えば、アセタゾラミド10mg/mlを1回あたり1眼に100μlを硝子体腔内に投与することにより、硝子体腔内のアセタゾラミドの濃度は0.25mg/mlになり、硝子体を視認可能にすることができる。   The dose of the vitreous body visualization agent of the present invention varies depending on the symptom of the patient to be administered, particularly the state of the eye, age, administration method, etc. Any amount can be obtained. A compound having carbonic acid dehydrogenase inhibition can visually recognize a vitreous body by administering 0.01 to 1 mg usually at the time of vitreous surgery. Preferably, the dose is 0.04 to 0.4 mg. When this is converted into the concentration when uniformly diffused into the vitreous cavity (volume is about 4 ml), it is usually 0.0025 to 0.25 mg / ml, preferably 0.01 to 0.1 mg / ml To do. For example, when 100 μl of acetazolamide 10 mg / ml per dose is administered into the vitreous cavity, the concentration of acetazolamide in the vitreous cavity becomes 0.25 mg / ml, and the vitreous body can be made visible. .

本発明の硝子体可視化剤の使用対象は、ヒト、非ヒト霊長類、イヌ、ネコ、ウサギ、ラット、又はマウスなど、眼疾患に罹患し得る任意の動物とする。   The target for use of the vitreous body visualization agent of the present invention is any animal that can suffer from an eye disease, such as a human, non-human primate, dog, cat, rabbit, rat, or mouse.

本発明における硝子体手術とは、硝子体自体に障害があり該硝子体を切除する手術及び眼疾患を治療する上で硝子体を切除しなければならない手術を意味する。   The vitreous surgery in the present invention means an operation in which the vitreous body itself is damaged, and an operation in which the vitreous body has to be removed in order to treat an eye disease.

本発明の硝子体可視化剤を適応できる眼疾患としては、網膜はく離、眼内炎、硝子体出血、硝子体混濁、糖尿病網膜症、増殖性硝子体網膜症、増殖糖尿病網膜症、黄斑部疾患(黄斑円孔、黄斑前膜、黄斑浮腫、加齢黄斑変性)、網膜中心静脈閉塞症、網膜静脈分枝閉塞症などが挙げられる。好ましくは、網膜はく離、黄斑部疾患又は糖尿病網膜症である。   Examples of eye diseases to which the vitreous body visualization agent of the present invention can be applied include retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous opacification, diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, macular disease (macular disease) A hole, anterior macular membrane, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration), central retinal vein occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion, and the like. Preferably, retinal detachment, macular disease, or diabetic retinopathy.

本発明の硝子体可視化剤を硝子体腔内に投与した場合、硝子体を切除しても、手術後眼内に残留した硝子体可視化剤が炭酸脱水素酵素阻害作用を有するため、頻度の高い術後合併症である高眼圧症を抑制することができる。さらに、本発明の硝子体可視化剤にはトリアムシノロンアセトニドに見られる易感染性の副作用はなく、トリアムシノロンアセトニド使用による術後感染症の潜在的な危険性を回避できる。   When the vitreous body visualization agent of the present invention is administered into the vitreous cavity, even if the vitreous body is excised, the vitreous body visualization agent remaining in the eye after surgery has a carbonic acid dehydrogenase inhibitory action, so that a high frequency operation is performed. Ocular hypertension, a post-complication, can be suppressed. Furthermore, the vitreous visualization agent of the present invention has no infectious side effects seen with triamcinolone acetonide, and avoids the potential risk of postoperative infections due to the use of triamcinolone acetonide.

本発明の硝子体内注射用組成物は、前記炭酸脱水素酵素阻害作用を有する化合物を含有する。眼疾患、特に眼圧上昇又は黄斑浮腫に対して、硝子体内に局所注射することにより、即効性を有し、経口投与により認められる副作用を回避することができる。   The composition for intravitreal injection of the present invention contains the compound having the carbonic acid dehydrogenase inhibitory action. For eye diseases, particularly increased intraocular pressure or macular edema, local injection into the vitreous has immediate effect and avoids side effects observed by oral administration.

以下に、本発明を実施例によってさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらの例によって何ら限定されるものではない。   Examples The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

培養網膜色素上皮細胞APRE−19を、様々な濃度のブリンゾラミド、アセタゾラミド、トリアムシノロンアセトニド(ケナコルト、登録商標)を含む培地で培養し、WST−1 assayにより50%細胞生存濃度を求めた。
APRE−19細胞はAmerican Type Culture Collectionから購入した。培地は10% Fetal Bovine SerumとPenicillin(50units/ml)、 Streptomycin(50μg/ml)を含むDulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/Ham’s F12 Mediumを使用し、37℃、5%COで培養した。96well plateに100,000cells/wellとなるように細胞をまき、インキュベータで培養した。3日後培地を吸引し、Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution(HBSS)で前記細胞を洗浄し、様々な濃度のアセタゾラミド、ブリンゾラミド、トリアムシノロンアセトニドを含む培地で培養した。30分後、薬剤含有培地を吸引し、HBSSで洗浄し、通常の培地で培養した。3時間後、WST−1試薬(Premix WST−1、登録商標)を10μl加え培養した。1時間後、マイクロプレートリーダーでホルマザン色素の吸光度(OD450nm)を測定した。薬剤を含まない培地で培養した細胞における吸光度を100%として、細胞生存率を算出した。
(Experiment 2)
Cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells APRE-19 were cultured in media containing various concentrations of brinzolamide, acetazolamide, and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenacort, registered trademark), and 50% cell viability was determined by WST-1 assay.
APRE-19 cells were purchased from American Type Culture Collection. The medium was Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium / Ham's F12 Medium containing 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, Penicillin (50 units / ml) and Streptomycin (50 μg / ml) at 37 ° C., 2 %. Cells were seeded on a 96-well plate at 100,000 cells / well and cultured in an incubator. Three days later, the medium was aspirated, the cells were washed with Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), and cultured in a medium containing various concentrations of acetazolamide, brinzolamide, and triamcinolone acetonide. After 30 minutes, the drug-containing medium was aspirated, washed with HBSS, and cultured in a normal medium. After 3 hours, 10 μl of WST-1 reagent (Premix WST-1, registered trademark) was added and cultured. After 1 hour, the absorbance (OD450 nm) of the formazan dye was measured with a microplate reader. The cell viability was calculated with the absorbance in cells cultured in a medium containing no drug as 100%.

結果を、図3及び4に示す。
ブリンゾラミドのAPRE−19細胞における細胞生存率は、原液である1%(10mg/ml)製剤では1%であったが、2倍希釈(5mg/ml)では10%に上昇し、4倍希釈(2.5mg/ml)では99%となった。アセタゾラミドでは、100mg/m
lで30%、10mg/mlで54%、5mg/mlで77%、2.5mg/mlで87%、1.25mg/mlで92%となだらかに変化した(図3)。トリアムシノロンアセトニドでは原液である40mg/ml製剤では7%であったが、2倍希釈(20mg/ml)では104%となった(図4)。
ブリンゾラミド、アセタゾラミド及びトリアムシノロンアセトニドの今回の実験条件でのAPRE−19細胞における50%細胞生存濃度は、それぞれ約3mg/ml、10mg/ml、30mg/mlであった。
The results are shown in FIGS.
The cell viability of brinzolamide in APRE-19 cells was 1% in the stock solution of 1% (10 mg / ml), but increased to 10% at 2 times dilution (5 mg / ml) and diluted 4 times ( 2.5 mg / ml) was 99%. For acetazolamide, 100 mg / m
It gradually changed to 30% at 10 mg, 54% at 10 mg / ml, 77% at 5 mg / ml, 87% at 2.5 mg / ml, and 92% at 1.25 mg / ml (FIG. 3). Triamcinolone acetonide was 7% in the 40 mg / ml formulation as the stock solution, but it was 104% in the 2-fold dilution (20 mg / ml) (FIG. 4).
The 50% cell viability concentrations in APRE-19 cells under the current experimental conditions for brinzolamide, acetazolamide and triamcinolone acetonide were about 3 mg / ml, 10 mg / ml and 30 mg / ml, respectively.

各薬剤につき、雄性日本白色ウサギ(体重2.5−3.0kg)3羽3眼を使用した。ウサギを固定具に固定し、ペントバルビタール(ネンブタール、登録商標)静脈注射で全身麻酔後、片眼に対して27G鋭針を前房に刺入し前房水を100μl除去し、硝子体内に27G鋭針にて薬剤100μlを注射した。ブリンゾラミド(エイゾプト、登録商標)、アセタゾラミド(シグマ社)及びトリアムシノロンアセトニド(ケナコルト、登録商標)の濃度は、実験2から算出した50%細胞生存濃度、それぞれ3mg/ml、10mg/ml、30mg/mlを用いた。コントロールとしては、生理食塩水を注射した。
処置前、処置後6時間、1日、3日、7日後に眼圧測定、眼底検査、網膜電位(ERG)の測定を行った。まず塩酸オキシブプロカイン(ベノキシール、登録商標)にて点眼麻酔後、開瞼器で開瞼し、電子眼圧計(トノペンXL、登録商標)にて眼圧を測定した。眼圧測定は各時点で3回行い、平均値を測定値とした。次に散瞳剤であるトロピカミド・塩酸フェニレフリン(ミドリンP、登録商標)を点眼し、ペントバルビタールで全身麻酔し、20分間暗順応させ、ポータブルERG(LE−2000、登録商標)でERGを測定した。フラッシュERGを4回加算平均し、a波、b波の潜時と振幅を測定した。その後、倒像鏡にて眼底検査を行い、眼底写真を撮影した。全検査終了後、ペントバルビタール過剰投与でウサギを屠殺し、眼球摘出を行い、組織標本を作製した。
眼圧、ERGの値はpaired t−testにて検定し、投与前の値と比較した。
(Experiment 3)
For each drug, 3 male Japanese white rabbits (body weight 2.5-3.0 kg) 3 eyes were used. A rabbit is fixed on a fixture, and after general anesthesia by intravenous injection of pentobarbital (Nembutal, registered trademark), a 27G sharp needle is inserted into the anterior chamber for one eye, and 100 μl of anterior aqueous humor is removed. 100 μl of drug was injected with a sharp needle. The concentrations of brinzolamide (Eizopt®), acetazolamide (Sigma) and triamcinolone acetonide (Kenacort®) were 50% cell viability calculated from Experiment 2, 3 mg / ml, 10 mg / ml, and 30 mg / ml, respectively. Was used. As a control, physiological saline was injected.
Before treatment, 6 hours after treatment, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days later, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination, and retinal potential (ERG) measurement were performed. First, after ophthalmic anesthesia with oxybuprocaine hydrochloride (Benoxeal, registered trademark), the eyelid was opened with an eyelid opener, and the intraocular pressure was measured with an electronic tonometer (Tonopen XL, registered trademark). The intraocular pressure measurement was performed three times at each time point, and the average value was taken as the measured value. Next, myopic tropicamide / phenylephrine hydrochloride (Midrin P, registered trademark) was instilled, general anesthetized with pentobarbital, dark-adapted for 20 minutes, and ERG was measured with portable ERG (LE-2000, registered trademark). . The flash ERG was averaged four times and the latency and amplitude of the a and b waves were measured. Thereafter, the fundus was examined with an inversion mirror and a fundus photograph was taken. After completion of all examinations, the rabbits were sacrificed by pentobarbital overdose, and the eyeballs were removed to prepare tissue specimens.
The intraocular pressure and ERG values were tested by paired t-test and compared with the values before administration.

結果を、図5〜7に示す。
ERGは各波の潜時と振幅を計測することで網膜障害を鋭敏に判定できる。ウサギERGa波はヒトと同様に視細胞に発生母体を有し、視細胞活動を反映する。b波はグリア細胞の活動を主に反映するとされ、さらに双極細胞の電気活動関与も考えられている。今回の実験ではすべての薬剤においてERGa波、b波の潜時、振幅に変化はなく、網膜機能障害を認めなかった(図5、6)。
眼圧はトリアムシノロンアセトニドでは投与前後で変化はなかった。ブリンゾラミドとアセタゾラミドでは投与後6時間で投与前より有意に眼圧下降を認め、さらに術後1日以降の眼圧が安定していることを認めた。その他の測定時点では有意差はなかった(図7)。
眼底検査では、すべての薬剤において投与後に網膜、視神経、脈絡膜に異常はなく、眼内の炎症所見等の異常所見はみられなかった。眼組織を光学顕微鏡にて観察したところ、毛様体や網膜に細胞の変性や壊死、炎症細胞の遊走などの異常所見はなかった。
これらの結果から今回の条件での炭酸脱水素酵素阻害剤の眼組織における安全性が確認できた。さらに硝子体可視化剤として使用した炭酸脱水素酵素阻害剤が術後高眼圧を抑制する可能性が示された。
The results are shown in FIGS.
ERG can determine retinal damage sensitively by measuring the latency and amplitude of each wave. Rabbit ERGa waves, like humans, have a developmental matrix in photoreceptor cells and reflect photoreceptor activity. The b wave is considered to reflect mainly the activity of glial cells, and the electric activity of bipolar cells is also considered to be involved. In this experiment, ERGa wave and b wave latencies and amplitudes did not change in all drugs, and no retinal dysfunction was observed (FIGS. 5 and 6).
Intraocular pressure did not change before and after administration of triamcinolone acetonide. In the case of brinzolamide and acetazolamide, the intraocular pressure was significantly decreased 6 hours after the administration, and the intraocular pressure after 1 day after the operation was further stabilized. There was no significant difference at other time points (FIG. 7).
In the fundus examination, all drugs had no abnormalities in the retina, optic nerve and choroid after administration, and there were no abnormal findings such as inflammatory findings in the eye. When the ocular tissue was observed with an optical microscope, there were no abnormal findings such as cell degeneration or necrosis or migration of inflammatory cells in the ciliary body or retina.
From these results, the safety of the carbonic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor in the eye tissue under the present conditions was confirmed. Furthermore, it was shown that a carbonic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor used as a vitreous body visualizing agent may suppress postoperative high intraocular pressure.
