Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は,長時間にわたりツロブテロールを制御された速度で経皮吸収させるために用いられる貼付剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、ツロブテロールは慢性気管支炎、気管支喘息などの治療薬もしくは予防薬として用いられている。しかしながら、ツロブテロールは、例えば、経口投与すると極めて短時間でその効果が失われてしまい、かつ一時的なツロブテロールの血中濃度の上昇に伴う副作用を引き起こす危険性が指摘されている。
そこで、比較的長時間にわたりツロブテロールを所定血中濃度に維持するために、支持体上にツロブテロールを含有する粘着剤の層が設けられた貼付剤を用いてツロブテロールを経皮吸収させることが行われている。しかしながら従来提案されている経皮吸収用粘着剤はそれぞれに品質的、薬効的問題を有し、必ずしも優れた貼付剤とはいい難い。
【0003】
例えば、特開平4−99720号公報(日東電工、北陸製薬)、特開平5−194202号公報(LTSローマン)、特開平7−285854号公報(日東電工、北陸製薬)、特許3260765号公報(日東電工、北陸製薬)、等において経皮吸収型製剤が提案されている。
【0004】
これらの提案は主として、粘着剤に対する飽和溶解度以上のツロブテロールを膏体層に含有し、ツロブテロールの一部が膏体層中に結晶状態で分散した製剤である。しかしながら、膏体層中に固体である薬剤結晶が存在する製剤は、例えば、皮膚に接触する膏体層界面(表面)において薬剤結晶が析出し易く、製剤の皮膚接着性が低下することとなる。また、ポリマー中での薬剤分子の拡散速度が液体中のそれよりも格段に遅いため、膏体層中での薬剤結晶析出が迅速に進行せず、徐々に膏体層中で薬剤の結晶化が進行することに起因して、製剤の皮膚接着性および薬剤放出性が経時的に変化することが予想される。
上記のように、粘着剤に対する飽和溶解度以上の濃度で薬剤を含有することにより、膏体層中での薬剤の一部が結晶状態で存在する製剤は、品質の安定性に問題を有することがあり、必ずしも経皮吸収性、薬効の持続性および皮膚接着性に優れた製剤になるとは言い難い。
【0005】
さらに、特開平11−228395号公報(日東電工)には、膏体中にツロブテロールが結晶でなく、溶解状態で5重量%以上含有されていることを特徴とする経皮吸収製剤が提案されている。しかしながら本製剤は高価なツロブテロールを大量に使用しなければならない上に、薬物の生物学的利用率が結晶析出型製剤に比べて小さくなりがちであるという欠点を有する。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、皮膚接着性などの粘着物性の貼付後経時変化が少なく長時間の一定した薬物放出を可能にし、さらに少量の薬物でも高い経皮吸収を可能として薬物利用率を向上させた、ツルブテロールを含有する貼付剤を提供することにある。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、鋭意研究を重ねた結果、本発明者らは、ツロブテロールが膏体層中に2.5重量%以上5.0重量%未満の低濃度で溶解している経皮吸収型製剤が本目的に合致し、しかも皮膚接着性、皮膚低刺激性等にも優れていることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
【0013】
本発明の貼付剤は、薬物不透過性支持体の少なくとも片面に粘着剤層が設けられてなり、該粘着剤層が、(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル共重合体76〜95重量%、ツロブテロール2.0重量%以上5.0重量%未満、スクワラン、パルミチン酸イソプロピル及び流動パラフィンからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種以上の疎水性オイル2.0〜20重量%、並びに、必要に応じて添加される、乳酸、酢酸及びメタクリル酸コポリマーからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種以上の酸性物質0〜2.0重量%で構成されるアクリル系粘着剤組成物よりなり、上記(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル共重合体が、メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル75〜85重量%、メタクリル酸ラウリル10〜30重量%、及びアクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル5〜15重量%からなることを特徴とする。
【0014】
本発明の貼付剤に用いられるアクリル系粘着剤組成物には、基剤として(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル共重合体が使用される。
上記(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル共重合体は、主成分として、メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルが含有されることを必要とする。
上記メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシル以外の(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルを用いた場合、例えば、上記アルキルエステルの炭素数が6未満のものであると、ツロブテロールの飽和溶解度が大きい。したがって、このような共重合体はツロブテロールとの親和力が大きすぎるため、ツロブテロールの皮膚への分配率が低く,ツロブテロールの経皮吸収性が低くなる。また、(メタ)アクリル酸ラウリルのように、アルキルエステルの炭素数が大きいものを主成分とする共重合体は極めてやわらかく粘着剤としての凝集力に乏しくなる。
上記メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルの含有量は、少なくなっても、多くなっても、ツロブテロールの経皮吸収性が低くなるので、共重合体中75〜85重量%に制限される。
【0015】
さらに、上記共重合体は、構成する従成分として、メタクリル酸ラウリル及びアクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルを含有する。
上記メタクリル酸ラウリル及びアクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルの含有量は、少なくなっても、多くなっても凝集力及び粘着力のバランスが崩れ、皮膚用粘着剤としての性能を維持できなくなるので、共重合体中、メタクリル酸ラウリルは10〜20重量%であり、アクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルは5〜15重量%である。
【0016】
また、共重合成分として、ジビニルベンゼン、エチレングリコールジ(メタ)アクリレート等の多官能性単量体を全単量体中0.001〜0.1重量%の割合で含有させて凝集力を向上させてもよい。
【0017】
本発明の貼付剤には、粘着性基剤としての(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル共重合体に加えて、疎水性オイルとして、スクワラン、パルミチン酸イソプロピル及び流動パラフィンよりなる群から選択される少なくとも一種以上が添加され、スクワラン及びパルミチン酸イソプロピルが併用されるのが好ましい。
上記疎水性オイルの含有量は、少なくなると、粘着性基剤を柔らかくして貼付剤の肌への密着をよくすると同時に、ツロブテロールの基剤中への飽和溶解度を減少させ、それによってツロブテロールの経皮吸収性を増大させる、という効果がなくなり、多くなると、基剤の凝集力が不足し貼付時のり残りしやすくなるので、粘着剤層を形成するアクリル系粘着剤組成物中2.0〜30重量%に制限される。
【0018】
上記アクリル系粘着剤組成物には、貼付剤中のツロブテロールの保存安定性を向上させ、さらに、貼付剤中からのツロブテロールの経皮吸収性をコントロールすることを目的として、必要に応じて、乳酸、酢酸及びメタクリル酸コポリマーよりなる群から選択される少なくとも一種以上の酸性物質が添加されてもよい。
上記酸性物質の含有量は、多くなるとツロブテロールの経皮吸収性が減少するので、アクリル系粘着剤組成物中0〜2.0重量%が好ましい。
【0019】
前記共重合体は、通常の溶液重合法(ラジカル重合法)などにより調製され、例えば、上記メタクリル酸2−エチルヘキシルを含む3種の(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステルおよび、必要に応じて多官能性単量体と溶媒とを反応容器に仕込み、アゾ化合物、過酸化物などを触媒として60〜80℃にて窒素雰囲気下で攪拌しながら重合反応を行うのが好ましい。
【0020】
本発明のおいては、(メタ)アクリル酸共重合体と疎水性オイルと、必要に応じて添加される酸性物質との混合物からなるアクリル系粘着剤組成物を基剤とし、ツロブテロールがその中に2.0重量%以上5.0重量%未満の割合で溶解状態で含有され、好ましい含有量は2.5〜4.8重量部である。
ツロブテロールの含有量が2.5重量%を下まわると経皮吸収速度が小さく、血中濃度を薬効が発現するレベルに到達させるには、貼付剤の面積を大きくする必要が生じる。また、ツロブテロール含有量が5.0重量%以上の場合には経皮吸収速度があまりに大きすぎるため、適切な血中濃度を保たせるためには貼付剤の面積を場合によっては1cm程度に小さくする必要が生じ、実用的にはかえって不便である。
【0021】
経皮吸収によりツロブテロールの薬効を、例えば、24時間にわたり持続的に発現させるためには、患者1人あたり24時間で約0.3〜3mgのツロブテロールが皮膚を介して一定速度で吸収される必要がある。必要量のツロブテロールを経皮吸収させるためには、本発明の貼付剤においては、貼付剤に含有されるツロブテロール量が約0.5〜5mgであればよい。このような量のツロブテロールが含有されるように粘着剤層の厚みおよび貼付剤の面積が以下のように適宜決定すればよい。
【0022】
上記粘着剤層の厚みは20〜150μmが好ましい。粘着剤層の厚みが20μmを下まわると粘着力が不充分となり、貼付剤が皮膚表面から剥離し易くなる。
また、製造工程においても均一な厚みの粘着剤層を形成するのが困難となる。
逆に150μmを上まわると、製造工程において溶剤を除去するときに高温で長時間を必要とする。そのため、ツロブテロールが多量に揮発する。
貼付剤の面積は、粘着剤層のツロブテロール含量や粘着剤層の厚み、目的とするツロブテロールの投与量などにより異なる。貼付時の異和感を少なくし、貼付部の粘着による力学的な皮膚刺激を低減させるためには、貼付剤の面積を小さくすることが好ましいが、あまりに小さいと取り扱いが困難となり、1.0〜10cmが適当である。
【0023】
本発明の貼付剤に用いられる支持体としては,通常の貼付剤の支持体として使用される薬物不透過性の素材、特にガスバリアー性の素材のフィルムやシートが用いられる。支持体の素材としては、例えば、ポリエステル、ポリアミド、ポリ塩化ビニリデン等のフィルム、あるいはこれらのフィルムとポリエステル不織布とのラミネート体が好適に使用できる。
【0024】
貼付剤の粘着剤層表面は、必要に応じて剥離紙で保護される。剥離紙としては例えば、ポリエステル、ポリ塩化ビニリデン等からなるフィルム;上質紙とポリオレフィンなどとのラミネートフィルムが用いられる。通常、粘着剤との剥離性を付与するために、粘着剤層との接触面はシリコン処理などがなされている。
【0025】
本発明の貼付剤は、例えば、上記共重合体、疎水性オイル、必要に応じて酸性物質、およびツロブテロールよりなる組成物を有機溶媒に溶解させた溶液を支持体上に塗布乾燥し、あるいは、上記剥離紙上に塗布・乾燥後支持体に密着・転写する通常の溶液塗工法により製造される。
上記組成物を含む溶媒を塗工して形成される粘着剤層の乾燥は、ツロブテロールの揮発を最小限とするため、通常、室温〜90℃前後で行われる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a patch used for percutaneously absorbing tulobuterol at a controlled rate over a long period of time.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, tulobuterol has been used as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and the like. However, it has been pointed out that tulobuterol, for example, loses its effect in an extremely short time when administered orally, and has a risk of causing side effects associated with a temporary increase in blood concentration of tulobuterol.
Therefore, in order to maintain tulobuterol at a predetermined blood concentration over a relatively long period of time, transdermal absorption of tulobuterol is performed using a patch in which a layer of an adhesive containing tulobuterol is provided on a support. ing. However, the conventionally proposed adhesives for percutaneous absorption have quality and medicinal effects, respectively, and are not necessarily excellent patches.
[0003]
For example, JP-A-4-99720 (Nitto Denko, Hokuriku Pharmaceutical), JP-A-5-194202 (LTS Roman), JP-A-7-285854 (Nitto Denko, Hokuriku Pharmaceutical), Patent 3260765 (Nitto) Denko, Hokuriku Pharmaceutical), etc. have proposed transdermal absorption preparations.
[0004]
These proposals are mainly preparations containing tulobuterol having a saturation solubility or higher with respect to the pressure-sensitive adhesive in the plaster layer, and a part of tulobuterol dispersed in a crystalline state in the plaster layer. However, in a preparation in which a solid drug crystal is present in the paste layer, for example, the drug crystal is likely to be deposited at the paste layer interface (surface) in contact with the skin, and the skin adhesiveness of the preparation is reduced. . In addition, since the diffusion rate of drug molecules in the polymer is much slower than that in liquid, drug crystal precipitation in the plaster layer does not proceed rapidly, and the drug crystallizes gradually in the plaster layer. It is expected that the skin adhesiveness and drug release of the preparation will change over time due to the progression of
As described above, by containing the drug at a concentration equal to or higher than the saturation solubility in the adhesive, a preparation in which a part of the drug in the plaster layer exists in a crystalline state may have a problem in quality stability. Yes, it is not necessarily a preparation with excellent transdermal absorbability, sustained drug efficacy, and skin adhesiveness.
[0005]
Furthermore, JP-A-11-228395 (Nitto Denko) proposes a transdermally absorbable preparation characterized in that tulobuterol is contained in the paste in a dissolved state, not in the form of crystals. Yes. However, this preparation has the disadvantages that a large amount of expensive tulobuterol must be used and the bioavailability of the drug tends to be smaller than that of the crystal precipitation type preparation.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to improve the drug utilization rate by allowing a constant drug release for a long time with little change over time after application of adhesive physical properties such as skin adhesiveness, and further enabling high transdermal absorption even with a small amount of drug. Another object is to provide a patch containing tulbuterol.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that percutaneous absorption preparations in which tulobuterol is dissolved in the plaster layer at a low concentration of 2.5% by weight or more and less than 5.0% by weight. Was found to be suitable for this purpose and excellent in skin adhesiveness, skin hypoallergenicity and the like, thereby completing the present invention.
[0013]
The patch of the present invention comprises an adhesive layer provided on at least one side of a drug-impermeable support, and the adhesive layer comprises (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester copolymer 76 to 95% by weight, tulobuterol 2 0.0 wt% or more and less than 5.0 wt%, at least one or more hydrophobic oils selected from the group consisting of squalane, isopropyl palmitate and liquid paraffin, and added as necessary The acrylic (meth) acrylic acid composition comprising 0 to 2.0% by weight of at least one acidic substance selected from the group consisting of lactic acid, acetic acid and methacrylic acid copolymer The alkyl ester copolymer is 75-85% by weight 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, 10-30% by weight lauryl methacrylate, and 2-acrylic acid 2- Characterized by comprising the hexyl 5-15 wt%.
[0014]
In the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition used in the patch of the present invention, a (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester copolymer is used as a base.
The (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester copolymer needs to contain 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate as a main component.
When (meth) acrylic acid alkyl esters other than 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate are used, for example, the saturated solubility of tulobuterol is large when the alkyl ester has less than 6 carbon atoms. Therefore, since such a copolymer has too high affinity with tulobuterol, the distribution ratio of tulobuterol to the skin is low, and the transdermal absorbability of tulobuterol is low. Further, a copolymer mainly composed of alkyl ester having a large number of carbon atoms such as lauryl (meth) acrylate is very soft and has poor cohesive strength as an adhesive.
Even if the content of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate is decreased or increased, the transdermal absorbability of tulobuterol is lowered, so that it is limited to 75 to 85% by weight in the copolymer.
[0015]
Furthermore, the copolymer contains lauryl methacrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate as secondary components constituting the copolymer.
Even if the content of the lauryl methacrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is decreased or increased, the balance of cohesive force and adhesive force is lost, and the performance as a skin adhesive cannot be maintained. Among them, lauryl methacrylate is 10 to 20% by weight, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is 5 to 15% by weight.
[0016]
In addition, polyfunctional monomers such as divinylbenzene and ethylene glycol di (meth) acrylate are added as a copolymerization component in a proportion of 0.001 to 0.1% by weight in the total monomer to improve cohesion. You may let them.
[0017]
The patch of the present invention has at least one selected from the group consisting of squalane, isopropyl palmitate and liquid paraffin as the hydrophobic oil in addition to the (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester copolymer as the adhesive base. The above is added, and squalane and isopropyl palmitate are preferably used in combination.
When the content of the hydrophobic oil is reduced, the adhesive base is softened to improve the adhesion of the patch to the skin, and at the same time, the saturation solubility of the tulobuterol in the base is reduced, thereby allowing the If the effect of increasing the skin absorbability is lost and the amount increases, the cohesive force of the base becomes insufficient and it tends to remain at the time of sticking, so 2.0-30 in the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer Limited to weight percent.
[0018]
In order to improve the storage stability of tulobuterol in the patch, and to control the transdermal absorbability of tulobuterol from the patch, the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains lactic acid as needed. In addition, at least one acidic substance selected from the group consisting of acetic acid and methacrylic acid copolymers may be added.
The content of the acidic substance is preferably 0 to 2.0% by weight in the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition because the transdermal absorbability of tulobuterol decreases as the content increases.
[0019]
The copolymer is prepared by an ordinary solution polymerization method (radical polymerization method) or the like, for example, three kinds of (meth) acrylic acid alkyl esters containing 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate and, if necessary, multifunctional. It is preferable that the monomer and the solvent are charged into a reaction vessel, and the polymerization reaction is performed while stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere at 60 to 80 ° C. using an azo compound, a peroxide or the like as a catalyst.
[0020]
In the present invention, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a mixture of a (meth) acrylic acid copolymer, a hydrophobic oil, and an acidic substance added as necessary is used as a base, and tulobuterol is contained therein. Is contained in a dissolved state at a ratio of 2.0 wt% or more and less than 5.0 wt%, and the preferred content is 2.5 to 4.8 parts by weight.
When the content of tulobuterol is less than 2.5% by weight, the percutaneous absorption rate is low, and it is necessary to increase the area of the patch in order to reach the blood concentration to a level where a medicinal effect is exhibited. In addition, when the tulobuterol content is 5.0% by weight or more, the percutaneous absorption rate is too high. In order to maintain an appropriate blood concentration, the area of the patch is sometimes reduced to about 1 cm 2. In practice, it is inconvenient.
[0021]
In order to continuously develop the efficacy of tulobuterol through transdermal absorption, for example, about 0.3 to 3 mg of tulobuterol needs to be absorbed through the skin at a constant rate in 24 hours per patient. There is. In order to percutaneously absorb the necessary amount of tulobuterol, the amount of tulobuterol contained in the patch may be about 0.5 to 5 mg in the patch of the present invention. What is necessary is just to determine suitably the thickness of an adhesive layer and the area of a patch so that such an amount of tulobuterol may be contained as follows.
[0022]
As for the thickness of the said adhesive layer, 20-150 micrometers is preferable. When the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is less than 20 μm, the adhesive strength becomes insufficient, and the patch becomes easy to peel from the skin surface.
In addition, it is difficult to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a uniform thickness in the manufacturing process.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 150 μm, it takes a long time at a high temperature to remove the solvent in the production process. Therefore, a large amount of tulobuterol volatilizes.
The area of the patch varies depending on the tulobuterol content of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the target dosage of tulobuterol, and the like. In order to reduce discomfort during application and reduce mechanical skin irritation due to adhesion of the applied part, it is preferable to reduce the area of the patch, but if it is too small, handling becomes difficult. 10 cm 2 is suitable.
[0023]
As the support used in the patch of the present invention, a drug-impermeable material used as a support for ordinary patches, particularly a film or sheet of a gas barrier material is used. As a material for the support, for example, a film of polyester, polyamide, polyvinylidene chloride or the like, or a laminate of these films and a polyester nonwoven fabric can be suitably used.
[0024]
The adhesive layer surface of the patch is protected with a release paper as necessary. As the release paper, for example, a film made of polyester, polyvinylidene chloride or the like; a laminate film of fine paper and polyolefin is used. Usually, in order to give peelability to the pressure-sensitive adhesive, the contact surface with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is subjected to silicon treatment or the like.
[0025]
The patch of the present invention is, for example, a solution obtained by dissolving a composition comprising the above-mentioned copolymer, hydrophobic oil, if necessary, an acidic substance, and tulobuterol in an organic solvent, applied onto a support and dried, or It is produced by a usual solution coating method in which the release paper is applied and dried, and then is adhered and transferred to the support.
Drying of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a solvent containing the above composition is usually performed at room temperature to around 90 ° C. in order to minimize the volatilization of tulobuterol.
[0026]
