Description

201247179 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本杂明係關於一種適用於軟組織植入物之聚電解質錯合 物(polyelectrolyte complex,PEC)凝膠及包含該聚電解質錯 合物凝膠之軟組織填補植入物。更特定而言,該聚電解質 錯合物凝膠為包含幾丁聚醣及丫_聚麩胺酸h_pGA)之聚電 解質錯合物凝膠。 【先前技術】 皮膚的填補在從受傷中恢復或於美容或支撐等目的中, 可能成為填補的重要因素。例如皮膚在正常老化下可能會 變得鬆散或形成如鼻唇皺摺、皺紋、坑洞及缺陷等。在臉 上的皺摺或皺紋可能會影響一個人的自信心’甚至是職業 生涯,因此以軟組織填補術矯正缺陷及對抗衰老的影響也 變得日益重要。目前,軟組織填補術可藉由諸如蠟狀物 質、膠原蛋白、脂肪、矽酮、聚乳酸、聚乙烯、聚四氟乙 稀或水膠為主之聚合物組成物等材料加以填補,這些材料 可根據使用的情況而有不同形式,例如濃溶液、凝膠、珠 或懸浮物等,且可做為植入物或運送植入物之載體。理相 的軟組織填補材料應具有足夠<耐久性並可維持於指定2 置,不應從植入部位遷移。 美國第4,綱,075號專利揭露—種用於軟組織填補術的注 射植入物組合物,其包括—種生物相容微粒(如交聯_ 原蛋白或諸如肝酷或麥芽糖等生物相容之流體潤滑齊。的 水性懸料,以改善該生物材料料液的可注射性。然 150467.doc , 201247179 而,該專利之組合物不具有足夠之耐久性,所以它們無法 在體内停留足夠長的時間。 美國第6,537,574號專利涉及一種生物相容材料其包括 由-種生物可相容性陶究物質之平滑、圓形、細碎的實質 球體顆粒所組成之基質,其彼此鄰近或接觸,且提供一支 架或結構以供自體性、三維、無定向的非瘢痕性軟組織於 強化位置生長;在其中—個實施例中,在將懸浮於鼓甲基 ,’隹素鈉中之20至45 μηι或75至125 μηι的顆粒狀羥磷灰石鈣 的滅菌樣本注射至組織後,甲基纖維素於三個月内被吸 收’留下麵基磷灰石鈣於組織中。雖不難將樣本植入於軟 組織内,但維持效果不易,須於三個月内補行第二次注 射。 英國第2222176號專利提供了一個用於填補凹陷性疤 痕'不對稱眼眶底及表面骨缺陷等的改良微植入方法與設 備。該專利採用具有約2〇至3〇〇〇微米之經表面處理的微 粒丄其可經適當的生理載體和皮下注射針及注射器注射到 預疋之位置,諸如凹陷瘢痕的底#、凹陷的皮膚區域之下 以及在月與軟骨表面不規則處的軟骨膜與骨膜之下。在需 要使用硬物質之情況下,可利用某㈣鹽(包括經基磷灰 石或其他類似之晶體材料)、生物相容陶瓷、生物相容金 屬(例如特疋不銹鋼顆粒)或玻璃等生物相容材料;在某此 月兄下可此需要使用完全惰性的載體,如矽油、脂肪及 玻尿自文知(例如乙基玻尿酸酯和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮等)。然 而’廷些载體會快速降解’因此無法長期支撐目標物。 150467.doc 201247179 美國第5,344,452號專利涉及一個具組織相容性固體為主 的異質性植入物,其特別適用於將皮膚之不規則處平坦 化’但亦可用於其他目的的整形外科。該專利係使用被結 締組織包覆或嵌入至結締組織纖維之20-40微米之聚甲基 丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)顆粒,其懸浮於人體内之膠原蛋白。 然而’由於膠原蛋白係源自牛等動物,此種植入物有導致 過敏之可能。 美國專利第2008/0025950 A1號公開案揭露一種化合物 及製造方法及使用該化合物於無瘢痕傷口治療、傳輸生物 活性劑或活細胞及預防手術後或骨骼和軟骨的修復後沾黏 之方法。該化合物可為經修飾之大分子化合物,其係藉由 引進至少一個肼反應性基團和/或胺基氧基反應性基團以 促進交聯。然而,形成經修飾之大分子化合物必須使用交 聯反應。 R.A. Appell的「人工尿道括約肌與尿道周圍之注射作用 (The Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Periurethral Injections, Obstetrics and Gynecolocy Report Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 334- =2’(199()))」回顧評論中揭露各種用以治療尿道括約肌機 能不全之方式,包括使用可注射物諸如尺寸約4至100微米 之不規則开/狀的聚四氟乙烯微聚合物顆粒以及甘油與聚山 木酉欠=另種尿道周圍的可注射構件包括高度純化之牛 真皮膠原蛋白,其係與戊二酸交聯及分散於―酸鹽緩衝的 生里广现水申。Kresa等人揭露一種用以治療聲門閉合不 全之聲帶調整之方法’其中包括將先前經乾燥成玻璃狀、 150467.doc 201247179 堅硬狀態之一親水性凝膠的造型植入物導入聲帶中(Kresa et al,「Hydron Gel Implants in Vocal Cords」 Otolaryngolocy Head and Neck Surgery, Vol. 98. No. 3, pp. 242-245,(March 1988))。在前述兩篇文獻中,體内降解時 間為s平估軟組織植入物的一個重要因素。舉例來說,膠原 蛋白會迅速在體内發生水解及降解並導致相對短的臨床效 果,因此患者必須於通常每隔數月的時間再接受額外注 射,以維持組織之支撐性。然而不斷進行的注射過程不但 昂貴,亦會造成不便、不適或者疼痛及其他副作用。此 外,任何包含注射等侵入性的療程都有交叉污染和感染的 風險。因此,在此技術領域中對於可用於軟組織填補術且 更持久之注射材料仍有需求。 【發明内容】 本發明係關於一種聚電解質錯合物凝膠,其包含幾丁聚 膽及具有分子量自約1 kDa至約400kDa0mγ_ PGA)或其鹽及—種水性溶液,其中幾丁聚醣及卜聚麵胺酸 錯合物凝料於該水㈣液巾_。本發明亦提供-種軟

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) gel suitable for a soft tissue implant and a gel comprising the polyelectrolyte complex. Soft tissue fills the implant. More specifically, the polyelectrolyte complex gel is a polyelectrolyte complex gel comprising chitosan and 丫_polyglutamic acid h_pGA). [Prior Art] The filling of the skin may be an important factor in the recovery from the recovery or in the purpose of beauty or support. For example, under normal aging, the skin may become loose or form such as nasolabial folds, wrinkles, potholes, and defects. Wrinkles or wrinkles on the face may affect a person's self-confidence, or even a career, so it is increasingly important to use soft tissue filling to correct defects and fight aging. At present, soft tissue filling can be filled by materials such as waxy substances, collagen, fat, ketone, polylactic acid, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene or water-based polymer. There may be different forms depending on the conditions of use, such as concentrated solutions, gels, beads or suspensions, and the like, and may serve as an implant or carrier for transporting the implant. The soft tissue filling material of the phase should have sufficient & Durability and can be maintained at the specified position and should not migrate from the implant site. US Patent No. 4, No. 075 discloses an injection implant composition for soft tissue filling, which includes a biocompatible particle (such as cross-linking protein or biocompatible such as liver or maltose). Fluid-lubricated aqueous suspension to improve the injectability of the biomaterial feed. However, the composition of the patent does not have sufficient durability, so they cannot stay in the body enough. US Patent No. 6,537,574 is directed to a biocompatible material comprising a matrix of smooth, round, finely divided substantial spherical particles of a biocompatible ceramic material that are adjacent or in contact with one another. And providing a scaffold or structure for autologous, three-dimensional, non-oriented non-scarring soft tissue to grow in a strengthened position; in one of the embodiments, in suspension of the methyl group in the drum, the sodium of the alizarin 20 After a sterile sample of 45 μηι or 75 to 125 μηι of granular hydroxyapatite calcium is injected into the tissue, methylcellulose is absorbed within three months to leave the underlying apatite calcium in the tissue. The sample is implanted in soft tissue, but the maintenance effect is not easy, and a second injection must be made within three months. British Patent No. 2222176 provides a method for filling concave scars, asymmetric eyelids and surface bone defects. Improved micro-implantation methods and apparatus. The patent employs surface-treated microparticles having a size of about 2 to 3 micrometers which can be injected into the pre-clamped position, such as a depression, via a suitable physiological carrier and a hypodermic needle and syringe. The bottom of the scar, under the skin area of the depression, and under the pericardium and periosteum of the irregularities of the moon and cartilage surface. In the case where a hard substance is required, a certain (four) salt (including warp-base apatite or Other similar crystalline materials), biocompatible ceramics, biocompatible metals (such as special stainless steel particles) or biocompatible materials such as glass; under this month, you need to use completely inert carriers such as eucalyptus oil and fat. And hyaluronics are known from the literature (such as ethyl hyaluronic acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone). However, some of the carriers will degrade rapidly, so they cannot support the target for a long time. 467.doc 201247179 US Patent No. 5,344,452 relates to a heterogeneous implant based on a histocompatibility solid which is particularly suitable for planarizing the irregularities of the skin 'but can also be used for other purposes. The patent uses 20-40 micron polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles coated with or embedded in connective tissue fibers, which are suspended in the human body. However, 'as the collagen is derived from cattle, etc. Animals, such implants have the potential to cause allergies. US Patent Publication No. 2008/0025950 A1 discloses a compound and method of manufacture and the use of the compound in the treatment of scarless wounds, delivery of bioactive agents or living cells, and prevention of surgery Or the method of sticking the bones and cartilage after repair. The compound can be a modified macromolecular compound which promotes crosslinking by introducing at least one hydrazine reactive group and/or an aminooxy reactive group. However, a crosslinking reaction must be used to form a modified macromolecular compound. RA Appell's "The Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Periurethral Injections, Obstetrics and Gynecolocy Report Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 334- = 2' (199()))" Various methods for treating urinary sphincter insufficiency are disclosed, including the use of injectables such as irregular open/shaped polytetrafluoroethylene micropolymer particles having a size of about 4 to 100 microns, and glycerol and poly-amk 酉 另 = alternative Injectable components around the urethra include highly purified bovine dermal collagen, which is cross-linked with glutaric acid and dispersed in the acid-storing buffer. Kresa et al. disclose a method of vocal cord adjustment for the treatment of glottic insufficiency, which involves introducing a styling implant of a hydrophilic gel that was previously dried into a glass, 150467.doc 201247179 hard state, into the vocal cords (Kresa et Al, "Hydron Gel Implants in Vocal Cords" Otolaryngolocy Head and Neck Surgery, Vol. 98. No. 3, pp. 242-245, (March 1988)). In both of the above documents, in vivo degradation time is an important factor in the evaluation of soft tissue implants. For example, collagen rapidly hydrolyzes and degrades in the body and results in relatively short clinical effects, so patients must receive additional injections every few months to maintain tissue support. However, the ongoing injection process is not only expensive, but also causes inconvenience, discomfort or pain and other side effects. In addition, any invasive procedure, including injections, carries the risk of cross-contamination and infection. Therefore, there is still a need in the art for injection materials that are more durable for soft tissue filling.
