Description

  The present invention relates to a sustained-release preparation and a method for producing the same.

  Conventionally, sustained-release preparations that release room-temperature volatile chemical components such as fungicides, antibacterial agents, insecticides / insecticides, deodorants, and fragrances are known (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

For example, known sustained-release preparations include those obtained by impregnating a normal temperature volatile drug component with zeolite, nonwoven fabric, paper, or the like, and those obtained by gelling a normal temperature volatile drug component. When allyl isothiocyanate is used as a fungicide or the like, it is dissolved in ethanol to adjust volatility (see Non-Patent Document 1), or silica gel as a support is impregnated in allyl isothiocyanate, It has been proposed to make a sustained-release preparation by supporting allyl isothiocyanate in the pores of silica gel (see Patent Document 3).
JP-A-10-158112 JP-A-3-145404 JP 2005-255532 A J. Food Hyg. Soc. Japan, 35, 365-370 (1994)

  However, conventional sustained-release preparations have a high initial release rate, it is difficult to adjust the release rate, and the amount of release decreases over time, so it is difficult to stably release drug components over a long period of time. There was a problem.

  In addition, gelation of room-temperature volatile drug components is that the gelling agent is hydrophilic, whereas many drug components such as fungicides are oleophilic, and in order to disperse uniformly, the interface It was necessary to use an activator or the like. In addition, these gelled solids are usually marketed in dedicated plastic containers or glass containers, but after use, the containers become waste, which is problematic in terms of resource saving and waste reduction. was there.

  Moreover, when allyl isothiocyanate is dissolved in ethanol, volatility can be adjusted, but it has been reported that allyl isothiocyanate, which is an active ingredient, is altered (see Non-Patent Document 1).

  In addition, in the technology of impregnating and supporting allyl isothiocyanate on silica gel, the amount of impregnation is limited because the pore volume of silica gel is limited, and the creation of a preparation containing allyl isothiocyanate, which is an active ingredient, at a high concentration is possible. There was a problem that it was difficult and it was difficult to freely adjust its content.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and can slowly release a room-temperature volatile drug component that is easily vaporized in a short period of time, reducing the amount of waste, and eliminating the effect of the drug component. Provided are a sustained-release preparation that can be easily discriminated, has high safety to the human body, can contain a high concentration of drug components, and can easily adjust the content of drug components, and a method for producing the same. It is an issue.

  First: A sustained-release preparation characterized in that a silane alkoxide hydrolyzed solution and a room temperature volatile drug component are mixed and a curing catalyst is added to the mixed solution to solidify.

  Second: The first sustained-release preparation as described above, wherein the room temperature volatile drug component is at least one selected from a fungicide, an antibacterial agent, an insecticide / insecticide, a deodorant, and a fragrance.

  Third: A step of mixing a silane alkoxide hydrolyzed solution and a room temperature volatile chemical component to prepare a mixed solution, and a step of adding a curing catalyst to the mixed solution to advance a hydrolysis reaction to solidify the mixed solution. And a method for producing a sustained-release preparation.

  According to the sustained-release preparation of the present invention, a room temperature volatile drug component is mixed with a silane alkoxide hydrolyzed solution in advance, and a curing catalyst is added to the mixed solution to solidify it into a preparation. The room temperature volatile drug component that is easily converted can be released slowly.

  In addition, the volume decreases with the sustained release, and when the effect of the drug component disappears, the volume greatly decreases. Therefore, the disappearance of the effect of the drug component can be easily identified, and the amount of waste should be reduced. Can do. Furthermore, the range of selection is also wide when accommodated in a container or a package, and it can be made appropriate in consideration of resource saving and waste reduction.

  Further, silica gel as a base material has high safety, and in particular, by using a natural drug component, safety to the human body can be increased.

  In addition, normal temperature volatile drug component is mixed with silane alkoxide hydrolysis solution in advance, and a curing catalyst is added to this mixed solution to solidify it into a preparation, so that normal temperature volatile drug component is impregnated and supported on silica gel. Compared to the case, the drug component can be contained at a high concentration, and the content of the drug component can be easily adjusted.
