However, hyaluronic acid is strongly water-soluble, and therefore, it is used as a thickener in an organic solvent system, various emulsion stabilizers in an oily base, a coating enhancer for liposomes, Although it is expected to be used as an embedding base, a capsule base, etc., it cannot be sufficiently applied (JP-A-3-143540, JP-A-54-363).
88 etc.). That is, assuming a step of acetylating hyaluronic acid, acetylation of general low-molecular substances is often performed in a system of acetic anhydride and pyridine, but as described above, hyaluronic acid is strongly water-soluble, Acetylation in an acetic anhydride-pyridine system is difficult, and the degradation of hyaluronic acid in the reaction process is unavoidable. In addition, the results were the same as those examined in dozens of other methods. For this reason, it is extremely difficult to produce a hyaluronic acid derivative having a high acetylation rate, and the original properties of hyaluronic acid are often lost.

On the other hand, for example, JP-A-3-143540 discloses an emulsion stabilizer in which an acyl group such as an acetyl group is introduced into a repeating unit of hyaluronic acid. However, the modification ratio of this hyaluronic acid derivative is extremely low, and the ratio of acyl group / N-acetyl group is a fraction or less. That is, only one acyl group is introduced into several to several tens of repeating units, and at such a modification rate, the function as an emulsifier is not provided unless a highly oily acyl group such as a palmitoyl group is introduced. In fact, it cannot be performed, and since the pyridine system is used, an attempt to increase the modification rate results in the decomposition of hyaluronic acid. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hyaluronic acid having a high acetylation rate having various unique physical properties while retaining the inherent functions of hyaluronic acid, and a method for producing the same. is there.

In this embodiment, low molecular weight acetylated hyaluronic acid having a molecular weight of about 10 kd or less can be obtained. Example 5 About 200 ml of acetic acid was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask, 2 g of fine powdered hyaluronic acid having a molecular weight of 2,000,000 was dispersed therein, and 4 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid was further added. When swollen, acetic anhydride 10
After dropwise adding 0 ml over 30 minutes, the reaction was carried out with stirring at 50 ° C. for 28 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, and the purified reaction product precipitated on the fiber was washed three times with 100 volumes of pure water, and then dried under vacuum to obtain acetylated hyaluronic acid. FIG. 3 shows the results of 1 H-NMR analysis of the acetylated hyaluronic acid obtained as described above. In the figure, the acetylation reaction time is shortened as the process proceeds to (A) to (F). As is clear from the figure,
When the acetylation reaction time is short, a peak indicating an N-acetyl group derived from hyaluronic acid itself is large, but as the reaction time is increased, a peak indicating an acetyl group bonded to another site is significantly increased. It is understood that the acetylation of other alcoholic hydroxyl groups has progressed beyond the amount of N-acetyl groups. Thus, in the present invention, the ratio of acetyl group / N-acetyl group is 1 or more, and a high acetylation rate hyaluronic acid having an acetylation degree of 1 or more, which has been practically impossible in the past, is obtained. .

And when it is blended in an emulsion or the like, various effects can be exhibited, such as increasing smoothness during use. In addition, if lipophilicity is increased by acetylation or the like, affinity with the stratum corneum having a lipid membrane on the surface is increased, and biocompatibility can be improved.

Further, the highly acetylated hyaluronic acid according to the present invention has an advantage that when blended in cosmetics or the like, the spinnability, which is a disadvantage of hyaluronic acid, is significantly reduced. Table 2 below shows the results of the solubility test of the high acetylation ratio hyaluronic acid (acetylation degree: about 1.5) in various solvents.
