Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel hyaluronic acid derivative having a hydrophobic group introduced therein, a pharmaceutical composition containing the hyaluronic acid derivative, and particularly a pharmaceutical composition containing a medicinal protein and / or peptide.
- the pharmacological activity of proteins and peptides is largely attributed to their higher order structures, and the pharmacological activity of proteins and peptides is impaired by denaturation and aggregation caused by external environments such as contact with organic solvents and air interfaces, pressure, temperature, and pH. It is known that It is also known that the risk of antigenicity is increased by administering a denatured or aggregated protein into the body. In sustained-release preparations containing protein or peptide as the active ingredient, the stability of the protein or peptide is ensured from the formulation process until the active ingredient is released in vivo after administration through the storage period of the preparation. Is required.
- Non-patent Documents 1 and 2 Attempts to commercialize sustained-release preparations based on biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid-polyglycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) have been widely made. Protein denaturation or aggregation due to the operation for (emulsification, drying, acidification, etc.) has been reported (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).
- the base material used for the preparation must be non-antigenic, non-mutagenic, non-toxic and biodegradable.

- HA hyaluronic acid
- HA is considered to be preferable as a base material for a sustained-release preparation from the viewpoint of safety.
- Many preparations using HA as a base material have been reported so far, with the aim of using modified HA for the purpose of improving blood retention (Patent Document 1) and improving the retention in the knee joint.
- Patent Document 2 an HA derivative having an introduced alkyl chain

- BMP bone morphogenetic protein
- Patent Document 5 As an example of a pharmaceutical preparation using a polyamino acid derivative as a base material, use of a polyglutamic acid into which tocopherol has been introduced has been reported (Patent Document 5).
- Non-Patent Document 3 Thermodynamic evaluation of the pullulan derivative after protein incorporation shows that the incorporated protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonding with the hydroxy group of pullulan (Non-patent Document 11).
- Patent Document 6 carboxymethyl cellulose
- Non-Patent Document 12 Non-Patent Document 12
- Patent Document 8 published after the priority date of the present application discloses a composition containing a hyaluronic acid derivative having a crosslinkable group and a hydrophilic polysaccharide derivative having a hydrophobic group, the hyaluron having a crosslinkable group.
- Compositions have been reported in which the acid derivative is prepared by a cross-linking reaction of hyaluronic acid or a derivative having a group capable of cross-linking in the presence of a hydrophilic polysaccharide derivative.

It has been reported that these HA-based carriers are efficiently taken up in cells expressing CD44 in vitro (for example, Non-Patent Document 20). However, HA is known to be instantaneously taken up and metabolized by the HARE receptor present in the sinusoidal endothelium such as the liver when systemically administered, and rapidly disappears from the blood (Non-Patent Documents 29 to 31). ). Therefore, efficient cancer targeting using an HA base material requires a carrier that suppresses uptake in the liver and has improved blood retention.

実施例2-2で調製した、HA-Na(50kDa)を出発原料とするHA-TBA 68.26mgを無水DMSOに溶解した。そこに脱水ピリジンに溶解させたコレステリル N-(6-イソシアネートヘキシル)カーバメート(CHI、4.15mg)を滴下し、窒素下、80℃にて9.5時間攪拌した。反応溶液を酢酸エチルにて再沈殿後、遠心分離にて回収した。得られた白色固体を再度DMSOに溶解し、0.3M NaCl溶液、蒸留水、10mM HCl溶液、蒸留水に対して透析し(Slide-A-Lyzer、分画分子量3500Da、PIERCE社製)、得られた透析液を凍結乾燥し、50k HA-O-C6-Cholを得た。測定溶媒としてDMSO-d6を用いた1H-NMRスペクトル(500MHz Bruker社製)から実施例2-3-1記載の式にて算出したHAユニットに対するコレステリル基の導入率を表40に示す。
実施例26で調製した50k HA-O-C6-Chol-1%および99k HA-O-C6-Chol-2%を用い、溶媒として超純水に溶解した他は実施例17と同様の方法にてDLS測定を行った。z平均粒子サイズを表41に示す。
