Abstract

回復促進表面およびこの表面に結合した一時的吸着抑制材料を含む内部人工器官(例えばステント)と、該内部人工器官の製造方法とを開示する。

Description

本発明は、例えば、吸着抑制表面(non−fouling surface)を有する内部人工器官などの医療器具に関する。
身体には、動脈などの血管や他の体管腔を含めたさまざまな通路がある。これらの通路は、閉塞または弱化することがある。例えば、通路は、腫瘍で閉塞したり、プラークにより狭窄したり、動脈瘤のために弱化したりし得る。そうした際には、医療用内部人工器官を用いて通路を再開もしくは補強するか、さらには通路を内部人工器官と交換したりすることができる。内部人工器官とは、一般的に体内の通路または管腔内に留置される人工移植物をいう。多くの内部人工器官は、例えば、ステントや、ステントグラフト、被覆ステントなどの管状部材である。
内部人工器官は、体内の目的部位、例えば体管腔内の弱化または閉塞した部位に運ぶ際には、縮小または圧縮形態の内部人工器官を支持するカテーテルによって体内に送達することができる。目的部位に到達したら、管腔壁に接触することができるように内部人工器官を拡張する。
内部人工器官の設置に用いる拡張機構は、内部人工器官を径方向に拡張させる機構を含むことができる。拡張は、例えば、バルーンを担持するカテーテルと、体内での最終形態よりも寸法が縮小されたバルーン拡張型内部人工器官とを併用して行うことができる。内部人工器官を管腔壁に接触した状態で所定位置に固定するために、バルーンを膨張させて、内部人工器官を変形かつ/または拡張させる。次いで、バルーンを収縮させて、カテーテルを抜去する。
本発明は、吸着抑制表面を有する内部人工器官などの医療器具を提供することを目的とする。
一態様において、本発明は、触媒材料を含む表面と、該表面に付着させた吸着抑制材料とを有し、吸着抑制材料が表面へのタンパク質の吸着を減少させる、内部人工器官、例えばステントを特徴とする。
別の態様において、本発明は、内部人工器官の製造方法であって、表面を一時的吸着抑制層でコーティングするステップを含んでなり、表面が触媒材料を含んでなり、一時的吸着抑制層が表面へのタンパク質の吸着を減少させて、Hが表面に到達することを許容する、方法を特徴とする。
態様は以下の特徴を1つ以上含み得る。触媒材料はHの分解を触媒する。触媒材料はセラミックである。触媒材料には酸化イリジウムが含まれる。触媒材料は、窒化チタンおよび白金活性炭から選択される。
さらに、態様は、以下の特徴を1つ以上含み得る。吸着抑制材料には、親水性化合物、例えば、親水性ポリマーが含まれる。親水性化合物としては、ポリエチレングリコール(「PEG」)が挙げられる。PEGは、約1,000〜約50,000の分子量を有する。吸着抑制材料は表面から放出可能である。吸着抑制材料は、この材料を表面に結合する選択的に切断可能な結合(preferentially cleavable link)を有する。この結合は、加水分解性結合、例えばエステル結合である。吸着抑制材料は層を形成する。吸着抑制材料は、第1ブロックと、第1ブロックと表面の間の第2ブロックとを有する。第1ブロックは、タンパク質をはじくという主要機能を有し、第2ブロックは、第1ブロックと表面をつなぐ結合(linkage)という主要機能を有する。第1ブロックと第2ブロックは、選択的に切断可能な結合を介してつながっている。第1ブロックはPEGを含み、第2ブロックは、末端官能化シラン、例えばアミノシラン、例えばアミノプロピルトリエトキシシラン(「APTES」)、および/または内皮細胞結合剤、例えばRGDペプチドフラグメントを含む。第2ブロックと表面は、選択的に切断可能な結合、例えば加水分解性結合を介して結合させることができる。また、第2ブロックは、表面に永久結合させることもできる。
さらに、態様は以下の特徴を1つ以上含み得る。触媒材料を有する表面は、表面を吸着抑制層でコーティングする前に、アミノシラン、例えばAPTESで修飾するか、かつ/または表面を吸着抑制層でコーティングする前に、表面を内皮細胞結合剤、例えばRGDペプチドフラグメントで修飾する。
態様および/または実施形態は、以下のさらなる利点を1つ以上有し得る。内部人工器官、例えばステントは、植え込みにより誘発される過酸化水素を効率的に除去する回復促進(pro−healing)または触媒表面(例えば、IROX)を有する。しかし、そのような表面にタンパク質が吸着すると、その効果が減少し得る。回復促進表面上に一時的または短期吸着抑制層を形成することにより、特に、Hが高濃度で生成されている初期炎症反応ステージにおけるタンパク質の吸着および/または細胞の付着に一時的に抗することができる。吸着抑制層は、Hを表面に拡散させ、それによって、Hを水と酸素に変換させる回復促進表面の持続時間を延長することができる。過酸化水素の放出が終わるか、弱まると、吸着抑制層は生分解されるため、回復促進表面は、自然に内皮細胞で被覆されるか、その下層の内皮細胞結合剤を露出させて、内部人工器官の内皮細胞による被覆を助けることができる。吸着抑制層が表面に残留する時間は、各吸着抑制部分と表面との結合化学(linkage chemistry)を選択することにより予め決定される。結合化学は、例えば物理的引力による、共有結合または非共有結合であり得る。
他の態様、特徴、および利点は、以下の説明や図面、および特許請求の範囲から明らかになるであろう。

図1A〜1Cを見ると、ステント10の植え込み時に、ステントは、カテーテル14の先端部近くに坦持されるバルーン12上に配置され、管腔15を通って、バルーンとステントを坦持する部分が閉塞18の領域に到達するまで進められる(図1A)。次いで、ステントは、バルーン12が膨張させられることにより径方向に拡張させられ、管壁に押し付けられる。これにより、閉塞18が押し込まれて、閉塞18を取り囲む管壁が径方向に拡がる(図1B)。次いで、バルーンから圧力を放出し、カテーテルを管から抜去し(図1C)、ステント10を管腔15内に留置する。
ステントの表面近くの領域の略断面図である図2Aを見ると、吸着抑制部分を有する層22の形態の吸着抑制材料が、例えばステンレススチールまたはポリマーで形成されるステント本体20の上の、例えば、酸化イリジウム(「IROX」)などのセラミックの回復促進表面21を覆っている。図2Bを見ると、ステントの体内管腔での植え込み直後に、吸着抑制層22は、タンパク質をはじいて、タンパク質の吸着を阻止し、Hを回復促進表面21上に拡散させて、触媒的に水分子と酸素分子に分解させることができる。図2Cおよび2Dを見ると、ステントが植え込まれてから一定期間、例えば、実質的に身体がステントの植え込みを起因とする高レベルのH放出を終えるまでの期間(例えば、約1〜2週間)が経過した後に、吸着抑制層22は、生分解されるか、回復促進表面21から分離し、タンパク質は、回復促進層に移動して、この層に特異的に吸着し、次いで、これらのタンパク質上に細胞が接着し、結果として、表面が自然に内皮細胞で被覆される。
例えばステントなどの異物が生物学的環境(例えば、生体内)に導入されると、異物の表面は、通常、生体の生来の防御機構により、数秒で非特異的吸着タンパク質により被覆される。より具体的に言えば、血管内へのステント植え込みに対する人体の初期反応の1つは、血液循環系の構成要素の1つである白血球の活性化である。この活性化により活性酸素化合物が増産される。このプロセスにおける鍵分子の1つは、多種の白血球のうちの1つを構成する好中性顆粒球により放出される過酸化水素、例えばHである。Hが存在すると、平滑筋細胞の増殖が高まり、内皮細胞機能を弱め得るため、表面結合タンパク質の発現を刺激する。これらの表面タンパク質は、さらに多くの炎症細胞の接着を高める。回復促進表面上の一時的または短期吸着抑制層は、特にHが高濃度で生成されている初期炎症反応ステージにおいて、タンパク質の吸着および/または細胞接着に一時的に抗する。吸着抑制層は、Hを表面に拡散させることを可能にし、それによって、回復促進表面がHを水と酸素に変換する期間を延長する。過酸化水素の放出が終了または減少すると、吸着抑制層は生分解され、その結果、回復促進表面が自然に内皮細胞で被覆されることを可能にする。吸着抑制層が表面に残留する期間は、各吸着抑制部分と表面との結合力(または耐加水分解性)を制御することにより予め決定される。吸着抑制層は、非触媒層と共に用いてもよいし、直接ステント本体に適用してもよい。
吸着抑制層は吸着抑制部分を有する。実施形態において、強力にタンパク質を吸着する表面は細胞にも結合でき、タンパク質吸着を抑制する表面は細胞接着も抑制するであろう。親水性表面は不可逆的にタンパク質を吸着する傾向が強い。表面へのタンパク質および細胞の結合を減少させる望ましい方法は、表面に吸着抑制層を付けて表面の親水性を高める方法である。吸着抑制部分は、水性生体媒質に溶けている小分子に対する透過性により、過酸化水素を通過させて回復促進表面に到達させることできるだけでなく、付着した分子鎖による立体障害効果に起因するタンパク質吸着に抗し得る。吸着抑制層に移動性タンパク質分子が侵入してテザー鎖(例えば、ポリマー鎖)が可逆的に変形すると、セグメント濃度(例えば、ポリマーセグメントの濃度)が上昇するために鎖のエントロピー弾性と浸透圧との釣り合いによって制御される反発力が生じると考えられる。重なり反発力は、タンパク質分子が下層表面と直接接触することを阻止することができる。さらなる実施形態において、吸着抑制部分は、親水性ポリマーまたは有機分子、例えば、ポリエチレングリコール(「PEG」)分子、オリゴエチレングリコール(「オリゴEG」)分子、脂質−オリゴEG分子、Pluracol(登録商標)ポリオールまたはPluronic(登録商標)ポリオール(BASF社から入手可能)、例えば、プロピレングリコールとエチレングリコールのコポリマー、ポリ(2−ヒドロキシエチルメタクリレート)(「PHEMA」)、ポリビニルピロリドン(「PVP」)、ポリアクリル酸(「PAA」)およびその誘導体、例えば、ポリアクリルアミド(「PAAm」)、エチレン酢酸ビニルビニルアルコールコポリマー(「EVA」)、中性親水性表面基、例えばヒドロキシルを有するポリマー、負の電荷を持つ表面基、例えばカルボン酸もしくはスルホン酸またはそれらの塩を有するポリマー、グライム、ホスホリルコリンポリマー(例えば、ポリ(2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン、すなわち「PMPC」)、多糖類、リポ多糖類(例えば、ガングリオシド)、糖タンパク質(例えば、ムチン)、およびリン脂質を含む。特定の実施形態においては、吸着抑制部分はPEGである。さらなる実施形態では、約1,000〜約50,000ダルトンの分子量(MW)を有するPEGが用いられる。好適な吸着抑制部分および表面修飾技術は、パチェッティ(Pacetti)の米国特許第7,056,591号明細書;アルベルテ(Alberte)の米国特許第7,087,661号明細書;ウヤマ(Uyama)、Advances in Polymer Science、第137巻、p.24−28(1998年);スー(Su),Polym.Prep.、第28巻、p.292−294(1987年);ホフマン、ジェイ(Hoffman,J.)、Biomater.Sci.Polymer Edn.、第10巻、p.1011−1014(1999年);およびワン(Wang)、Surface and Coatings Technology、第196巻、p.307−311(2005年)に記載されている。
実施形態において、吸着抑制化合物または部分は、所望期間後に回復促進表面から放出可能である。例えば、一時的吸着抑制部分は、特定期間、特にHが最高濃度で生成されている初期炎症反応ステージの間、タンパク質の吸着および/または細胞の接着に抗する。実施形態において、この期間は、約1日〜約1カ月となるように予め決定される。過酸化水素の生成が終了または減少すると、吸着抑制化合物または部分が放出されて、回復促進表面が自然に内皮細胞で被覆され得る。いくつかの実施形態では、吸着抑制部分は生分解により放出される。例えば、吸着抑制部分は、加水分解性結合、例えば、エステルまたはアミド結合によって表面に結合する。放出時間は、結合の耐加水分解性の選択および/または加水分解性結合への水の接近の調節により制御することができる。例えば、通常、アミド結合はエステル結合よりも加水分解安定性が高い。結果として、エステル結合は、より容易に加水分解されるため、より急速に放出されるであろう。また、放出速度は、以下に詳細に説明するように加水分解性結合周囲の親水性/疎水性および立体障害を変更して加水分解時間を増減させることによって制御することもできる。別の実施形態においては、吸着抑制部分は、生物学的環境で溶解または酵素的に分解され得る。
図3A〜3Cを見ると、回復促進表面21から分離する一時的吸着抑制部分22の機構を説明する略図が示されている。特に図3Aを見ると、吸着抑制部分22の簡素化された概略構造は、結合32を介してつながっている2つのブロック31および33を有する。ブロック33は、タンパク質を反発させるという主要機能を有するのに対し、ブロック31は、反発ブロックを回復促進表面21につなぐ結合という主要機能を有する。結合32は、所定時間後、例えば、医療器具が植え込まれたときに身体がかなりの量のHを生成するのを停止するまでに要する時間の後で加水分解し得るような特定の耐加水分解性を有するように予め決定される。吸着抑制部分は、結合30を介して表面21に結合している。結合30は、共有結合性(例えば共有結合)であっても、非共有結合性(例えば、水素結合、イオン結合、ファンデルワールス力、または他の分子間力)であってもよい。
実施形態において、反発ブロック33は、上述したような、吸着抑制化合物または部分、例えば、PEG分子であり、結合ブロック31は、シランまたはシラン誘導体、例えば、アミノシランを含み、結合32は、加水分解性結合(例えば、エステルまたはアミド結合)であり、結合力は、耐加水分解性を選択するか、かつ/または加水分解性結合への水の接近を調節すること、例えば、加水分解性結合の親水性/疎水性ならびに加水分解性結合周囲の立体障害および/もしくは親水性/疎水性を変えて、加水分解時間を増減させることにより制御される。例えば、親水性は、加水分解性結合の片側もしくは両側のメチレン(−CH−)基の数を増やすこと、例えば、シラン分子の分子量(「MW」)を増大させることにより制御し得る。実施形態において、PEGのMWは、約1,000〜50,000の間で選択される。別の例としては、水分子が加水分解性結合に容易に近づけないように、加水分解性結合の片側または両側に、かさ高い側基または側鎖、例えば、メチル基、エチル基、n−プロピル基、i−プロピル基、n−ブチル基、i−ブチル基、s−ブチル基またはt−ブチル基を組み込んで加水分解性結合周囲の立体障害を増大させることができる。いくつかの実施形態において、側基は、分枝脂肪族化合物または部分から選択される。他の実施形態では、側基は、分枝芳香族化合物または部分から選択される。さらに別の例としては、例えば、PEGと加水分解性結合の間および/またはシランと加水分解性結合の間に疎水性部分を加えて加水分解性結合周囲の疎水性を高めることができる。実施形態において、結合30は、表面とシラン部分との間のSi−O結合または接着相互作用である。シラン層は、デュウェズ(Duwez)、Nature Nanotechnology、第1巻、p.122−125(2006年)に詳細に開示されている。
特に図3Bを見ると、結合32は、生物学的環境において、例えば加水分解により切断され、反発ブロック33が表面から離れる。特に図3Cを参照すると、反発ブロック33が離れてしまうと、結合ブロック31が露出され、次いで、結合30が、例えば化学結合の破断または身体の巨大分子からの衝突により弱化または無効状態になり、結合ブロック31を解放する。いくつかの実施形態において、結合ブロック31は場合に応じて有するものであり、吸着抑制部分22は反発ブロック33のみを有する。別の実施形態では、結合ブロック31は表面21に結合したまま残り、内皮細胞(「EDC」)結合剤、または、望ましい特定タンパク質の吸着を促進するEDC結合剤と結合したポリマーなど、生体に有益な部分を含む。さらなる実施形態において、EDC結合剤は、RGDペプチド、RGDペプチドフラグメントを有する化合物である。例えば、図3Bの部分31は、表面に永久結合したRGDフラグメントを有するペプチドであり得る。EDC結合剤および技術のさらなる例は、マニカ(Manicka)の国際公開第2006/124365号に開示されている。
実施形態において、回復促進表面は、表面に回復促進化合物を適用することにより得られる。実施形態において、回復促進化合物は、セラミック、例えば、酸化イリジウム(「IROX」)、窒化チタン、もしくは白金活性炭、または、過酸化物と反応するか、他の手段により回復促進性となることが知られている任意の化合物から選択される。回復促進または触媒表面は、例えばHを除去することにより回復を促進するが、回復促進表面に非特異的にすぐ吸着する表面結合タンパク質は、Hの表面への拡散を阻止し、それゆえ、表面の触媒機能を妨害する。特定の実施形態において、内皮細胞による被覆などの治療効果を有するIROX〔IROXおよび他のセラミックは、アルトら(Alt et al)の米国特許第5,980,566号明細書において詳細に論じられている〕は、さまざまな被覆法によりステント表面に適用される。例えば、IROXは、ステントをイリジウム化合物溶液に浸し、次いで乾燥させ、表面を酸化させてIROXを得るか、またはイリジウム金属もしくは酸化イリジウムの物理的蒸着、例えばパルスレーザー蒸着またはスパッタリングにより、ステント表面にコーティングすることができる。溶液コーティング法およびステントコーティングとしてIROXを使用することの利点についての詳細な説明は、米国特許第6,245,104号明細書に開示されており、この特許の全開示内容は、参照により本明細書の一部を構成する。
特定の実施形態において、回復促進表面は、2007年5月23日に出願された米国特許出願第11/752,772号(代理人整理番号10527−805001)明細書と、2007年5月23日に出願された米国特許出願第11/752,736号(代理人整理番号10527−801001)明細書およびその付属書類に記載されているような、選択された粗さおよび形態を有する。実施形態において、回復促進表面の形態は、比較的粗い表面から比較的平滑な表面までさまざまであり、それぞれ、特定の機械的効果および治療的効果を提供し得る。ある事例では、回復促進表面は、輪郭がはっきりとした粒子(defined grains)と高粗さとを特徴とする形態を有し得る。別の事例において、回復促進表面は、被覆率が高く、概して低粗さの球面(globular surface)を特徴とする形態を有する。粒子の輪郭がはっきりした高粗さ形態では、間隔をおいて配置された粒子間および粒子周囲の隙間を特徴とする高表面積が得られ、例えば吸着抑制化合物が該隙間に蒸着されて、表面に結合されることにより、付着力を大いに高め得る。また、輪郭のはっきりした粒子形態は、動作の自由度を高めることができるとともに、ステントが使用時に撓んだときに破壊されにくく、それゆえ、回復促進表面は下層の基材からの回復促進セラミックの層間剥離を起こしにくく、上層の吸着抑制コーティングの層間剥離を減少させる。より平滑な球状表面形態では、化学組成および/または形態学的特徴を選択することにより内皮細胞の増殖を促進するように調整される表面が得られる。
セラミック製回復促進表面の形態は、その外観、例えば、極大値および/または粗さなどの特定の形態学的特徴の大きさおよび配置を特徴とする。例えば、ある事例において、表面は、定義可能なサブミクロン(1/10000mm)サイズの粒子を特徴とする。実施形態において、粒子は、約50〜500nm、例えば約100〜300nmの長さLと、約5〜50nm、例えば約10〜15nmの幅Wを有する。粒子は、約5:1以上、例えば、10:1〜20:1のアスペクト比(縦横比)を有する。粒子は1つ以上の層にまたがっている。粒子間の間隔は約1〜50nmであり得る。特定の実施形態において、粒子は米粒に似ている。別の事例では、表面は、一連の浅い球状体(shallow globular feature)を有する、より連続的な表面を特徴とする。球状体は、極狭間隔で隣接している。実施形態において、表面はオレンジピールに似ている。球状体の直径は約100nm以下、最小深さ、すなわち球状体の最大高さは、例えば約50nm以下、例えば約20nm以下である。別の実施形態において、表面は、高アスペクト比を有する輪郭のはっきりした粒子とより連続的な球状表面との間の特徴を有する。例えば、表面は、低アスペクト比を有する薄い平面状のフレークを含み得る。この形態タイプは、50KXのFESEM画像で見える。
また、形態は、例えば、極大形態(local morphological maxima)の間隔、高さおよび幅などの形態学的特徴の大きさおよび配置を特徴とする。例えば、セラミックの表面は、極大の中心間距離および/もしくは高さ、ならびに/または直径および/もしくは密度を特徴とする。特定の実施形態において、平均高さ、間隔および直径は、約400nm以下の範囲、例えば約20〜200nmである。特に、平均中心間距離は直径の約0.5〜2倍である。特定の実施形態において、形態タイプは球状形態であり、極大の幅は約100nm以下の範囲、ピーク高さは約20nm以下である。特定の実施形態において、セラミックは、約5nm未満、例えば約1〜5nmのピーク高さ、および/または約15nm未満、例えば約10〜15nmのピーク間距離を有する。さらに別の特定の実施形態においては、形態は粒子タイプ形態として定義される。極大幅は、約400nm以下、例えば約100〜400nm、極大高さは、約400nm以下、例えば約100〜400nmである。セラミックの選択された両形態(球状タイプおよび粒子タイプ)は、実質的に均一な略非晶質のIROXからなる薄層上に形成可能であり、この薄層はイリジウム金属層上に形成され、イリジウム金属層は、チタンまたはステンレススチールなどの金属基材上に蒸着される。間隔、高さおよび幅のパラメータはAFMデータから計算することができる。適切な計算法は、上掲した、ともに2007年5月23日に出願された米国特許出願第11/752,772号(代理人整理番号10527−805001)および米国特許出願第11/752,736(代理人整理番号10527−801001)の付属書類に記載されている。
(実施例)
IROXのプラズマ蒸着による、医療器具、例えば内部人工器官の表面への回復促進コーティングの適用;IROXの酸素含量を増大させるための酸素プラズマによる表面処理;表面にアミン基をグラフトするアミノプロピルトリエトキシシラン(「APTES」)による表面のシラン化;弱結合(「WL」)、例えば第2エステル結合による、N−ヒドロキシスクシンイミド(「NHS」)に結合したPEG分子であるNHS−WL−PEGとグラフト化表面との反応。より具体的には、WLは以下の式を有する:
Figure 2010533563
上記式中、RおよびRは炭化水素部分または共有結合を含む。点線は、その分子がRおよびRを越えて伸びることを示す。
基材のシラン化は、エタノールと酢酸からなる溶液中で実施する。まず、100mlの無水エタノールに50μlの酢酸を加える。次いで、エタノール溶液に、エタノールと1:100容積比になるまでAPTESを加える。混合物を30分間放置した後、混合物中に基材を入れる。次いで、混合物を3時間緩やかに攪拌する。次いで、基材を溶液から取り出し、大量のエタノールですすいで未反応シランをすべて除去する。シラン化またはグラフト化基材は次の反応ステップまでエタノール中で保存する。図4Aを見ると、回復促進表面はAPTESで修飾されている。
グラフト化基材と、NHS−WL−PEG分子〔PEGは2000〜20,000の分子量を有し、日油社(Nippon Oil and Fat)(NOF)から入手可能、例えば、http://www.nof.co.jp/english/business/dds/pegylation/activated_peg.html#b1〕との反応は、まず、0.5Mの四ホウ酸ナトリウム(10水塩)のpH9.5溶液中に基材を入れて実施する。次いで、同容積のNHS−WL−PEG(10%w/w)のpH4、0.01Mリン酸ナトリウム緩衝液をホウ酸ナトリウム溶液に加える。混合物を1時間緩やかに攪拌して反応させる。反応完了時点で、基材には、弱結合を介してPEG分子が結合している。次いで、基材を大量の脱イオン(「DI」)水、次いで無水エタノールですすぎ、完全乾燥させ、使える状態になるまで乾燥保存する。図4Bを見ると、PEG−WL部分は、室温反応により、アミノシランで修飾された回復促進表面に結合している。
