Various possibilities have been proposed regarding the mechanism by which Krestin exerts its medicinal effects, and among them, the activation effect of Krestin on immunocompetent cells present in the gastrointestinal tract has been pointed out to be important. The lectin-like activity of Krestin is thought to be important for this action, and the expression of Krestin-like activity depends on the dissolution state of Krestin, that is, the spread of Krestin molecules in the gastrointestinal tract. It is thought that the two-dimensional and three-dimensional spread of the molecule centering on the active site within the molecule of Krestin, which has lectin-like activity, and the state of the three-dimensional structure are important. It is also known that the lectin-like activity is inhibited by the substances that coexist when Krestin is dissolved. have. As a dosage form for drugs with properties similar to Krestin, it is considered most desirable to take a solution in which Krestin is dissolved in water. The application of this poses a number of problems. Therefore, the dosage form of Crestin currently used clinically is a fine powder.

The clinical dose of Krestin is 1 for cancer patients.
3g or more per day. The current Krestin powder is a fine powder and has a small bulk density, so it sticks to the mouth when taken, and the volume is too large to drink at once, requiring a large amount of water to be taken. I'm having problems. Furthermore, due to its unique color tone and odor, problems such as patients identifying the drug as Krestin and realizing that they have cancer have arisen, and it has been desired to develop a dosage form suitable for Krestin. .

Generally, in order to simplify administration, fine powders are granulated using a suitable binder or disintegrant, formed into tablets, or encapsulated in capsules. However, in the case of Krestin, as mentioned above, the state of dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration, that is, the spread of the molecular structure of Krestin, etc., is thought to control its drug activity, and the activity changes depending on the dosage form. It is necessary to be especially careful about this.

For example, many granules, tablets, and capsules of Korean carrot extract and other Chinese herbal medicines are commercially available, but these drugs are mixtures of various polysaccharides and low-molecular substances, and are relatively water-soluble. In addition to excellent dispersibility, formulation design of such drugs is relatively easy because the content of active ingredients in granules and tablets is low. However, special considerations are required regarding the dosage forms of pharmaceuticals containing protein as a main component, such as enzyme preparations and blood preparations. In other words, the activity of proteins or polysaccharides containing proteins often changes significantly depending on heat, pressure, or the substances they are mixed with.

In order to provide appropriate dosage forms for these substances, there are various problems that have not been seen in the case of conventional low-molecular-weight compounds and synthetic drugs. For example, when making granules, there are problems such as reduction in activity due to various heat treatments and deactivation due to insolubilization. As a method to solve these problems, it is attempted to stabilize polysaccharides containing proteins, which are active ingredients, by mixing large amounts of various saccharides, amino acids, and inorganic compounds. Therefore, the content of active ingredients such as protein and protein-containing polysaccharide must be reduced.

Until now, there have been almost no studies or technical reports on the relationship between the dosage form of a substance such as Krestin, which is a polysaccharide bound to proteins, and its activity.

Krestin has an average molecular weight of 100,000 or more, its composition is not a simple polysaccharide, but a protein polysaccharide with proteins bound to it, and the dose required to express its activity is relatively large. It is important to formulate a drug by solving the contradictory issues of not changing the drug's efficacy and not increasing the dosage.

In other words, since Krestin is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide bound to proteins, when considering the mechanism of drug efficacy when administered orally, it is difficult to formulate a drug using simple conventional formulation techniques. Difficult technical challenges remain.

In other words, it solves the problem of being a fine powder and having a large volume, which makes it difficult to swallow when administering medication.
It is also important to establish a formulation form and formulation method that does not impair biological activity. In other words, in order to solve the difficulty of swallowing due to fine powder, it is necessary that the particles have a specific particle size or a specific particle size distribution, which solves the problem of the large volume of medication making it difficult to swallow. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to increase the bulk density of the particles as much as possible. Furthermore,
As mentioned above, such particles must be able to dissolve quickly in the gastrointestinal tract after administration and exhibit the characteristic effects of Krestin.

An example of a method for powdering a protein polysaccharide or protein such as Krestin is a spray drying method, a method for producing powder using a so-called spray dryer. The powder obtained by this method may lose the pharmacological activity of Krestin depending on the operating conditions of the spray dryer, such as the heat treatment conditions during drying, the air volume, and the solution supply rate. By adjusting the speed, Krestin can be powdered without compromising its pharmacological activity.

Crestin powder obtained by the spray-drying method is a hollow particle with a diameter of 1 to 100 μm and has a large surface area, but the air adsorbed on the particle surface and the air contained therein may be mixed with water. prevents contact (wetting) and dissolves or is suppressed. In addition, the bulk density of the powder obtained by this spray drying method is usually
It is less than 0.30 g/cm 3 , and when this fine powder is administered, the above-mentioned problems occur.

Therefore, we have carefully studied not only the method of powdering Krestin but also the method of granulating it, and investigated the characteristics and pharmacological activity of the obtained particles. We have repeatedly considered this issue in order to resolve the issue.

In other words, as a result of various studies on how to increase the bulk density without changing the properties of the powder, we compressed the spray-dried powder using a tablet machine (slug machine) or roller compactor.

As a dosage form that is easy to administer, it is known to mix fine powder with additives such as suitable disintegrants, binders, excipients, etc. and granulate it, but Mechanism: dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract
If the dispersion state affects the pharmacological activity of the product, a wide range of studies including evaluation of its medicinal efficacy are required. It has been found that in addition to physical properties such as bulk density, the type and content of additives added during granulation are important factors.

The inventors have prepared spray-dried powder using a roller compactor or tablet machine (slug machine).
Using heavy powder obtained by weighting or freeze-drying or evaporation-drying powder as a granulation raw material, we investigated additives, particle size, bulk density, solubility, and manufacturing method, and conducted animal experiments. As a result of examining the expression of pharmacological activity and the ease of clinical administration, we found that products containing Krestin in an amount of 50% by weight or more and less than 90% by weight, and that were processed using fluidized granulation, extrusion granulation, or rolling granulation. Granular preparations with a specific particle size distribution granulated by the granulation method have high dissolution properties in water, do not impair pharmacological activity when administered to living organisms, and are similar to Krestin spray-dried powder and current It was discovered that Krestin does not have the difficulty of taking the drug, which is seen in commercially available products, such as the fact that it sticks to the mouth and is too large to drink at once. Based on these findings, the present invention was developed. It was completed.
