Description

癒着防止用組成物Anti-adhesion composition
 本発明は、癒着防止用組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to an adhesion preventing composition.
 癒着とは、互いに分離しているべき組織の表面が線維性の組織で連結または融合された状態のことをいう。癒着は、外傷や炎症に伴い組織の表面にフィブリンを含む滲出液が生じ、この滲出液が器質化して組織表面が連結または融合されることにより生じる。外科手術において組織の表面にできる外傷や、外傷により引き起こされる炎症、および外科手術において組織表面が乾燥することによる炎症は、癒着が生じる原因となっている。 Adhesion refers to a state where the surfaces of tissues that should be separated from each other are connected or fused with a fibrous tissue. Adhesion occurs when exudate containing fibrin is generated on the surface of the tissue due to trauma or inflammation, and the exudate is organized and the tissue surfaces are connected or fused. Injuries that occur on the surface of tissues during surgery, inflammation caused by the trauma, and inflammation caused by drying of the tissue surface during surgery cause adhesions.
 癒着は、時に、不妊、腸の通過障害、慢性骨盤痛の原因となり得る。また、外科手術後に生じた癒着を剥離するために、再度の外科手術が必要となることもある。これらのことから、癒着を防止する必要があり、癒着防止のためにこれまでに様々な手段が講じられている。 Adhesion can sometimes cause infertility, bowel passage problems and chronic pelvic pain. In addition, another surgical operation may be required in order to peel off the adhesion that has occurred after the surgical operation. For these reasons, it is necessary to prevent adhesion, and various measures have been taken to prevent adhesion.
 癒着防止のためのそのような手段のいくつかは、外傷または炎症部位とその隣接組織の間に配置して組織の連結または融合を防止する物理的バリアを設けることである。そのような物理的バリアとしては、シート状のものおよびゲル状のものが知られている。 Some such means for preventing adhesions are to place a physical barrier between the site of trauma or inflammation and its adjacent tissue to prevent tissue connection or fusion. As such a physical barrier, a sheet form and a gel form are known.
 シート状のものは、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)フィルム(Preclude(商品名)(WL Gore and Associates,Inc.))、ヒアルロン酸(HA)とカルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)を含有するシート(Seprafilm(商品名)(Genzyme GmbH))、再生酸化セルロースシート(Intraceed(商品名)(Johnson&Johnson))などがある。このうちPTFEフィルムは、生分解性でないため、体内に残存するという問題がある。HAととCMCを含有するシートおよび再生酸化セルロースシートは、生分解性であるものの、肝切除後に生じる癒着のような重篤な癒着を完全に防止できず、癒着防止の効果の点で改善の余地があった。 The sheet-like material is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film (Prelude (trade name) (WL Gore and Associates, Inc.)), a sheet (Seprafilm (product) containing hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Name) (Genzyme GmbH)), regenerated oxidized cellulose sheet (Intraceded (trade name) (Johnson & Johnson)) and the like. Among these, the PTFE film is not biodegradable and has a problem of remaining in the body. Although the sheet containing HA and CMC and the regenerated oxidized cellulose sheet are biodegradable, serious adhesion such as adhesion occurring after hepatectomy cannot be completely prevented, and the effect of preventing adhesion can be improved. There was room.
 ゲル状のものは、鉄イオン架橋ヒアルロン酸ゲル(Intergel(商品名)(Lifecore Biomedical,LLC))などがある。しかしながら、鉄イオン架橋ヒアルロン酸ゲルは、主に腹腔内の鉄イオンの濃度上昇とハイドロゲルの長期残存により重篤な炎症を引き起こすことから、現在では、臨床において使用されていない。この他、アルギン酸、HA、CMCまたはこれらの混合物を含有するゲルを、癒着防止の物理的バリアとして用いることが提案されているものの(特許文献1および2、ならびに非特許文献1~3)、これらのゲルについては、癒着防止効果を十分に発揮できる最適な物性は、明らかではなかった。 Examples of gels include iron ion cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel (Intergel (trade name) (Lifecore Biomedical, LLC)). However, iron ion-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gels are not currently used in clinical practice because they cause severe inflammation mainly due to an increase in the concentration of iron ions in the peritoneal cavity and the long-term remaining of the hydrogel. In addition, although it has been proposed to use a gel containing alginic acid, HA, CMC or a mixture thereof as a physical barrier for preventing adhesions ( Patent Documents 1 and 2, and Non-Patent Documents 1 to 3), For these gels, the optimum physical properties capable of sufficiently exerting the adhesion preventing effect were not clear.
 このような物理的バリアの他に、外科手術中に組織を処置する前に、外科手術に関連する組織の表面を、生体適合性があり且つ薬理学上許容される水溶性のポリペプチド、多糖類、合成ポリマー、これらの塩および錯体、これらの混合物からなる群の中から選択される親水性ポリマー材料の水溶液で被覆して、乾燥に起因する組織の癒着を防止することが提案されている(特許文献3)。 In addition to such a physical barrier, prior to treating the tissue during surgery, the surface of the tissue associated with the surgery may be treated with a biocompatible and pharmacologically acceptable water-soluble polypeptide, It has been proposed to coat with an aqueous solution of a hydrophilic polymer material selected from the group consisting of sugars, synthetic polymers, salts and complexes thereof, and mixtures thereof to prevent tissue adhesion due to drying. (Patent Document 3).

 このような状況の下、癒着防止効果の高い癒着防止用組成物が求められていた。 Under such circumstances, an anti-adhesion composition having a high anti-adhesion effect has been demanded.
 本発明者らは、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、(a)低エンドトキシンアルギン酸の1価金属塩、(b)カルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩、および(c)細胞を組合せて用いる癒着防止用組成物が癒着防止効果の高いものであることなどを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors have found that (a) a monovalent metal salt of low endotoxin alginic acid, (b) carboxymethylcellulose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (c) an adhesion using a combination of cells.

The following embodiments are examples for explaining the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist thereof.
1.癒着防止
 「癒着」とは、互いに分離しているべき組織の表面が線維性の組織で連結または融合された状態のことをいう。癒着の原因は、外科手術において組織の表面にできる外傷や、外傷により引き起こされる炎症、外科手術において組織表面が乾燥することによる炎症などである。これらの外傷や炎症に伴い組織の表面にフィブリンを含む滲出液が生じ、この滲出液が器質化して組織表面が連結または融合されることにより癒着が形成される。
 「癒着防止」とは、癒着の形成を減少させることをいう。癒着防止は、必ずしも癒着の形成を完全に防止することまでも必要とせず、本発明の組成物を適用しなかった場合の状態と比較して、癒着の形成が防止されていればよい。すなわち「癒着防止」は癒着の軽減と言い換えてもよく、例えば、癒着の頻度、範囲および程度から選ばれる少なくとも1つが軽減されていればよい。「癒着防止」は、例えば、実施例に記載した癒着のグレード評価を行った場合に、本発明の組成物を適用しなかった場合の平均癒着のグレードと比較して、平均癒着のグレードがより低くなっていればよい。あるいは、「癒着防止」は、例えば、実施例に記載した癒着のExtent評価を行った場合に、本発明の組成物を適用しなかった場合の平均癒着のExtentと比較して、平均癒着のExtentがより低くなっていればよい。「癒着防止」は、好ましくは、外科手術に起因して生じる癒着、より好ましくは、外科手術に起因して生じる腹膜癒着の防止である。すなわち、「癒着防止」は、好ましくは、術後の癒着防止である。
1. Anti-adhesion “Adhesion” refers to a condition in which the surfaces of tissues that should be separated from each other are connected or fused with a fibrous tissue. Causes of adhesion include trauma that can occur on the surface of a tissue during surgery, inflammation caused by the trauma, inflammation due to dry tissue surface during surgery, and the like. With these trauma and inflammation, exudate containing fibrin is generated on the surface of the tissue, and this exudate becomes organized and the tissue surface is connected or fused to form an adhesion.
“Anti-adhesion” refers to reducing the formation of adhesions. The prevention of adhesion does not necessarily need to completely prevent the formation of adhesions, and it is only necessary that the formation of adhesions be prevented as compared with the state where the composition of the present invention is not applied. That is, “adhesion prevention” may be rephrased as adhesion reduction. For example, it is sufficient that at least one selected from the frequency, range, and degree of adhesion is reduced. “Adhesion prevention” means that, for example, when the adhesion grade evaluation described in the Examples is performed, the average adhesion grade is higher than the average adhesion grade when the composition of the present invention is not applied. It only has to be low. Alternatively, “adhesion prevention” means, for example, when the extent evaluation of adhesion described in the Examples is performed, compared to the extent of average adhesion when the composition of the present invention is not applied, the extent of average adhesion Should be lower. “Anti-adhesion” is preferably prevention of adhesions resulting from surgery, more preferably peritoneal adhesions resulting from surgery. That is, “adhesion prevention” is preferably prevention of postoperative adhesion.

3.アルギン酸の1価金属塩
 「アルギン酸の1価金属塩」は、アルギン酸の6位のカルボン酸の水素原子を、NaやKなどの1価金属イオンとイオン交換することでつくられる水溶性の塩である。アルギン酸の1価金属塩としては、具体的には、アルギン酸ナトリウム、アルギン酸カリウムなどを挙げることができるが、特には、市販品により入手可能なアルギン酸ナトリウムが好ましい。アルギン酸の1価金属塩の溶液は、架橋剤と混合したときにゲルを形成する。
3. Monovalent metal salt of alginic acid “Monovalent metal salt of alginic acid” is a water-soluble substance formed by ion exchange of the hydrogen atom of the 6-position carboxylic acid of alginic acid with monovalent metal ions such as Na + and K + . It is salt. Specific examples of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid include sodium alginate and potassium alginate. In particular, sodium alginate that is commercially available is preferable. A solution of a monovalent metal salt of alginic acid forms a gel when mixed with a crosslinking agent.
 本発明に用いる「アルギン酸」は、生分解性の高分子多糖類であって、D-マンヌロン酸(M)とL-グルロン酸(G)という2種類のウロン酸が直鎖状に重合したポリマーである。より具体的には、D-マンヌロン酸のホモポリマー画分(MM画分)、L-グルロン酸のホモポリマー画分(GG画分)、およびD-マンヌロン酸とL-グルロン酸がランダムに配列した画分(MG画分)が任意に結合したブロック共重合体である。アルギン酸のD-マンヌロン酸とL-グルロン酸の構成比(M/G比)は、主に海藻等の由来となる生物の種類によって異なり、また、その生物の生育場所や季節による影響を受け、M/G比が約0.4の高G型からM/G比が約5の高M型まで高範囲にわたる。 “Alginic acid” used in the present invention is a biodegradable polymer polysaccharide, a polymer in which two types of uronic acids, D-mannuronic acid (M) and L-guluronic acid (G), are polymerized in a straight chain. It is. More specifically, D-mannuronic acid homopolymer fraction (MM fraction), L-guluronic acid homopolymer fraction (GG fraction), and D-mannuronic acid and L-guluronic acid are randomly arranged. This is a block copolymer in which the fractions (MG fraction) are bound arbitrarily. The composition ratio (M / G ratio) of D-mannuronic acid and L-guluronic acid of alginic acid varies depending on the type of organism mainly derived from seaweed, etc. It ranges from a high G type with an M / G ratio of about 0.4 to a high M type with an M / G ratio of about 5.
 アルギン酸の1価金属塩は高分子多糖類であり、分子量を正確に定めることは困難であるが、一般的に重量平均分子量で1000~1000万、好ましくは1万~1000万、より好ましくは2万~300万の範囲である。例えば、ゲル浸透クロマトグラフィー(GPC)法により測定した重量平均分子量の好ましい範囲として、30万~200万が挙げられる。また、例えば、GPC-MALS法により測定した重量平均分子量の好ましい範囲として、1000~30万、より好ましい範囲として5万~30万が挙げられる。 The monovalent metal salt of alginic acid is a high molecular weight polysaccharide, and it is difficult to accurately determine the molecular weight, but generally the weight average molecular weight is 10 to 10 million, preferably 10,000 to 10 million, more preferably 2 It ranges from 10,000 to 3,000,000. For example, a preferable range of the weight average molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) method is 300,000 to 2,000,000. Further, for example, a preferable range of the weight average molecular weight measured by GPC-MALS method is 1,000 to 300,000, and a more preferable range is 50,000 to 300,000.
 通常、高分子多糖類の分子量をゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーにより算出する場合、10~20%以上の測定誤差を生じうる。例えば、40万であれば32~48万、50万であれば40~60万、100万であれば80~120万程度の範囲で値の変動が生じうる。したがって、アルギン酸の1価金属塩について、好適な重量平均分子量範囲は、少なくとも2万以上、より好ましくは5万以上、さらに好ましくは10万以上である。分子量が高すぎるものは製造が困難であるとともに、水溶液とする際に粘度が高くなりすぎる、溶解性が低下する、長期間の保存で物性を維持しにくいなどの問題を生じるため、重量平均分子量が500万以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは300万以下である。 Usually, when the molecular weight of the high molecular polysaccharide is calculated by gel filtration chromatography, a measurement error of 10 to 20% or more may occur. For example, the value may vary in the range of about 32 to 480,000 for 400,000, 400,000 to 600,000 for 500,000, and about 800 to 1,200,000 for 1,000,000. Therefore, a suitable weight average molecular weight range for the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid is at least 20,000, more preferably 50,000, and even more preferably 100,000. If the molecular weight is too high, it is difficult to produce and causes problems such as excessively high viscosity when used as an aqueous solution, poor solubility, and difficulty in maintaining physical properties during long-term storage. Is preferably 5 million or less, more preferably 3 million or less.
 一般に天然物由来の高分子物質は、単一の分子量を持つのではなく、種々の分子量を持つ分子の集合体であるため、ある一定の幅を持った分子量分布として測定される。代表的な測定手法はゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーである。ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーにより得られる分子量分布の代表的な情報としては、重量平均分子量(Mw)、数平均分子量(Mn)、分散比(Mw/Mn)が挙げられる。 Generally, a polymer substance derived from a natural product does not have a single molecular weight but is an aggregate of molecules having various molecular weights, and thus is measured as a molecular weight distribution having a certain width. A typical measurement technique is gel filtration chromatography. Representative information on the molecular weight distribution obtained by gel filtration chromatography includes weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), and dispersion ratio (Mw / Mn).
 分子量の大きい高分子の平均分子量への寄与を重視したのが重量平均分子量であり、下記式で表される。
 Mw=Σ(WiMi)/W=Σ(HiMi)/Σ(Hi)
 数平均分子量は、高分子の総重量を高分子の総数で除して算出される。
 Mn=W/ΣNi=Σ(MiNi)/ΣNi=Σ(Hi)/Σ(Hi/Mi)
 ここで、Wは高分子の総重量、Wiはi番目の高分子の重量、Miはi番目の溶出時間における分子量、Niは分子量Miの個数、Hiはi番目の溶出時間における高さである。
The weight average molecular weight places importance on the contribution to the average molecular weight of a polymer having a large molecular weight and is represented by the following formula.
Mw = Σ (WiMi) / W = Σ (HiMi) / Σ (Hi)
The number average molecular weight is calculated by dividing the total weight of the polymer by the total number of polymers.
Mn = W / ΣNi = Σ (MiNi) / ΣNi = Σ (Hi) / Σ (Hi / Mi)
Here, W is the total weight of the polymer, Wi is the weight of the i-th polymer, Mi is the molecular weight at the i-th elution time, Ni is the number of molecular weights Mi, and Hi is the height at the i-th elution time. .
 天然物由来の高分子物質の分子量測定では、測定方法により値に違いが生じうることが知られている(ヒアルロン酸の例:Chikako YOMOTA et.al.,Bull.Natl.Health Sci.,Vol.117,pp135-139(1999)、Chikako YOMOTA et.al.,Bull.Natl.Inst.Health Sci.,Vol.121,pp30-33(2003))。アルギン酸塩の分子量測定については、固有粘度(Intrinsic viscosity)から算出する方法、SEC-MALLS(Size Exclusion Chromatography with Multiple Angle Laser Light Scattering Detection)により算出する方法が記載された文献がある(ASTM F2064-00 (2006),ASTM International発行)。なお、当該文献では、サイズ排除クロマトグラフィー(=ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィー)により分子量を測定するにあたっては、プルランを標準物質として用いた較正曲線に加え多角度光散乱検出器(Multi Angle Light Scattering:MALS)を併用すること(=SEC-MALSによる測定)を推奨している。また、SEC-MALSによる分子量を、アルギン酸塩のカタログ上の規格値として用いている例もある(FMC Biopolymer社、PRONOVATM sodium alginates catalogue)。 It is known that the molecular weight of a high molecular weight substance derived from a natural product may vary depending on the measurement method (examples of hyaluronic acid: Chikako YOMOTA et.al., Bull. Natl. Health Sci., Vol. 117, pp 135-139 (1999), Chikako YOMOTA et.al., Bull. Natl. Inst. Health Sci., Vol. 121, pp 30-33 (2003)). Regarding the molecular weight measurement of alginate, there is a method of calculating from intrinsic viscosity (Intrinsic Viscosity), SEC-MALLS (Size Exclusion Chromatography with Multiple Laser Light Scattering, which is calculated by the Ft. (2006), issued by ASTM International). In this document, when measuring the molecular weight by size exclusion chromatography (= gel filtration chromatography), in addition to a calibration curve using pullulan as a standard substance, a multi-angle light scattering detector (MULTIS) (= Measurement by SEC-MALS) is recommended. In addition, there is an example in which the molecular weight by SEC-MALS is used as a standard value on a catalog of alginate (FMC Biopolymer, PRONOVA sodium alloys catalog).
 本明細書中においてアルギン酸塩の分子量を特定する場合は、特段のことわりがない限り、ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーにより算出される重量平均分子量である。 In the present specification, when the molecular weight of the alginate is specified, it is a weight average molecular weight calculated by gel filtration chromatography unless otherwise specified.
 ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィーの代表的な条件としては、プルランを標準物質とした較正曲線を用いることが挙げられる。標準物質として用いるプルランの分子量としては、少なくとも160万、78.8万、40.4万、21.2万および11.2万のものを標準物質として用いることが好ましい。その他、溶離液(200mM硝酸ナトリウム溶液)、カラム条件などを特定できる。カラム条件としては、ポリメタクリレート樹脂系充填剤を用い、排除限界分子量1000万以上のカラムを少なくとも1本ないし3本用いることが好ましい。代表的なカラムは、TSKgel GMPWx1(直径7.8mm×300mm)およびG2500PWXL(直径7.8mm×300mm)(東ソー株式会社製)である。 Typical conditions for gel filtration chromatography include using a calibration curve with pullulan as a standard substance. The molecular weight of pullulan used as the standard substance is preferably at least 1.6 million, 788,000, 404,000, 212,000 and 112,000 as the standard substance. In addition, eluent (200 mM sodium nitrate solution), column conditions, etc. can be specified. As column conditions, it is preferable to use a polymethacrylate resin filler and use at least one to three columns having an exclusion limit molecular weight of 10 million or more. Typical columns are TSKgel GMPW x1 (diameter 7.8 mm × 300 mm) and G2500PW XL (diameter 7.8 mm × 300 mm) (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation).
 アルギン酸の1価金属塩は、褐藻類から抽出された当初は、分子量が大きく、粘度が高めだが、熱による乾燥、凍結乾燥、精製などの過程で、分子量が小さくなり、粘度は低めとなる。したがって、製造の各工程において適切な温度管理をすることにより、分子量の異なるアルギン酸の1価金属塩を製造することができる。製造の各工程における温度が低めとなるよう管理することで分子量の大きいアルギン酸の1価金属塩が得られ、温度が高くなるほど分子量の小さいアルギン酸の1価金属塩が得られる。また、原料とする褐藻類を適宜選択する、あるいは、製造工程において、分子量による分画を行う、などの手法によっても、分子量の異なるアルギン酸の1価金属塩を製造することができる。さらに、各手法で製造したアルギン酸の1価金属塩について、分子量あるいは粘度を測定した後、異なる分子量あるいは粘度を持つ別ロットのアルギン酸の1価金属塩と混合することにより、目的とする分子量を有するアルギン酸の1価金属塩とすることも可能である。 The monovalent metal salt of alginic acid initially has a large molecular weight and a high viscosity when extracted from brown algae, but the molecular weight becomes small and the viscosity becomes low in the process of drying by heat, lyophilization and purification. Therefore, monovalent metal salts of alginic acid having different molecular weights can be produced by performing appropriate temperature control in each production process. A monovalent metal salt of alginic acid having a large molecular weight can be obtained by controlling the temperature in each step of the production to be lower, and a monovalent metal salt of alginic acid having a smaller molecular weight can be obtained as the temperature is increased. Moreover, the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid from which molecular weight differs can also be manufactured by the method of selecting suitably the brown algae used as a raw material, or performing the fractionation by molecular weight in a manufacturing process. Furthermore, the molecular weight or viscosity of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid produced by each method is measured, and then mixed with another lot of monovalent metal salt of alginic acid having a different molecular weight or viscosity to have the target molecular weight. It is also possible to use a monovalent metal salt of alginic acid.

8). Viscosity of Compositions of the Invention The composition of some embodiments of the invention is a fluid liquid, ie, a solution. The viscosity of the composition of the present invention of this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention can be obtained. For example, the viscosity is 5 mPa · s to 100,000 mPa · s, preferably 10 mPa · s to 20000 mPa · s. The composition of some embodiments of the present invention is a viscosity that can also be applied to a subject, such as with a syringe.
 本発明の組成物の粘度は、付着性の観点から10mPa・s程度以上、組成物の取り扱いやすさの観点から、20000mPa・s程度以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは、2000mPa・s~10000mPa・s、1000mPa・s~5000mPa・s、または10mPa・s~10000mPa・sである。 The viscosity of the composition of the present invention is preferably about 10 mPa · s or more from the viewpoint of adhesion, and preferably about 20000 mPa · s or less from the viewpoint of easy handling of the composition, and more preferably 2000 mPa · s to 10,000 mPa. S, 1000 mPa · s to 5000 mPa · s, or 10 mPa · s to 10000 mPa · s.
 本発明の組成物の粘度は、例えば、アルギン酸濃度、アルギン酸の分子量、アルギン酸のM/G比、カルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩の濃度、カルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩の分子量、アルギン酸の1価金属塩とカルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩との混合比等を制御することにより調整することができる。 The viscosity of the composition of the present invention includes, for example, alginic acid concentration, alginic acid molecular weight, alginic acid M / G ratio, carboxymethylcellulose or pharmaceutically acceptable salt concentration, carboxymethylcellulose or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. By adjusting the molecular weight, the mixing ratio of the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid and carboxymethylcellulose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the like.
 アルギン酸の1価金属塩の溶液の粘度は、溶液中のアルギン酸濃度が高い場合に高く、溶液中のアルギン酸濃度が低い場合に低くなる。またアルギン酸の分子量が大きい場合に高く、小さい場合に低くなる。例として、分子量約20~50万Daのアルギン酸を用いて、10mPa・s~20000mPa・sの粘度を得るには、約1%w/v~3%w/vのアルギン酸水溶液とすればよい。より分子量が小さいアルギン酸を用いる場合は、これよりアルギン酸の濃度を高める必要がある。アルギン酸水溶液の粘度は、例えば、回転粘度測定器(コーンプレートタイプ)(TVE-20LT,TOKI SANGYO CO.,LTD.JAPAN)などを用いて、公知の方法で測定することができる。公知の方法は、例えば、第16改正日本薬局方 一般試験法粘度測定法(円すい-平板形回転粘度計)である。 The viscosity of the monovalent metal salt solution of alginic acid is high when the concentration of alginic acid in the solution is high, and is low when the concentration of alginic acid in the solution is low. Also, it is high when the molecular weight of alginic acid is large, and low when it is small. For example, in order to obtain a viscosity of 10 mPa · s to 20000 mPa · s using alginic acid having a molecular weight of about 200 to 500,000 Da, an aqueous alginate solution of about 1% w / v to 3% w / v may be used. When alginic acid having a smaller molecular weight is used, it is necessary to increase the concentration of alginic acid. The viscosity of the aqueous alginate solution can be measured by a known method using, for example, a rotational viscometer (cone plate type) (TVE-20LT, TOKI SANGYO CO., LTD. JAPAN). A known method is, for example, the 16th revision Japanese Pharmacopoeia, General Test Method Viscosity Measurement Method (cone-plate rotational viscometer).
 アルギン酸の1価金属塩の溶液の粘度は、M/G比によって影響を受けるため、例えば、溶液の粘度等により好ましいM/G比を有するアルギン酸を適宜選択することができる。本発明に用いるアルギン酸のM/G比は、約0.4~4.0であり、好ましくは約0.8~3.0、より好ましくは約1.0~1.6である。 Since the viscosity of a solution of a monovalent metal salt of alginic acid is affected by the M / G ratio, for example, an alginic acid having a preferable M / G ratio can be selected depending on the viscosity of the solution. The M / G ratio of alginic acid used in the present invention is about 0.4 to 4.0, preferably about 0.8 to 3.0, more preferably about 1.0 to 1.6.
 前述のように、M/G比が主に海藻の種類によって決まることなどから、原料として用いられる褐藻類の種類はアルギン酸の1価金属塩の溶液の粘度に影響を及ぼす。本発明で用いられるアルギン酸としては、好ましくは、レッソニア属、マクロシスティス属、ラミナリア属、アスコフィラム属、ダービリア属の褐藻由来であり、より好ましくはレッソニア属の褐藻由来であり、特に好ましくはレッソニア・ニグレッセンズ(Lessonia nigrescens)由来である。 As described above, since the M / G ratio is mainly determined by the type of seaweed, the type of brown algae used as a raw material affects the viscosity of a monovalent metal salt solution of alginic acid. The alginic acid used in the present invention is preferably derived from a brown algae of the genus Lessonia, Macrocystis, Laminaria, Ascofilum, Davilia, more preferably a brown alga of the genus Lessonia, particularly preferably Lessonia It is derived from Niscens (Lessonia nigrescens).
 カルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩の溶液の粘度は、溶液中のカルボキシメチルセルロース濃度が高い場合に高く、溶液中のカルボキシメチルセルロース濃度が低い場合に低くなる。またカルボキシメチルセルロースの分子量が大きい場合に高く、小さい場合に低くなる。例として、分子量約10万Daのカルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウムを用いて、400mPa・s~20000mPa・sの粘度を得るには、約1%w/v~2%w/vのカルボキシメチルセルロース水溶液とすればよい。より分子量が小さいカルボキシメチルセルロースを用いる場合は、これよりカルボキシメチルセルロースの濃度を高める必要がある。カルボキシメチルセルロース水溶液の粘度は、例えば、回転粘度測定器(コーンプレートタイプ)(TVE-20LT,TOKI SANGYO CO.,LTD.JAPAN)などを用いて、公知の方法で測定することができる。公知の方法は、例えば、第16改正日本薬局方 一般試験法粘度測定法(円すい-平板形回転粘度計)である。 The viscosity of the solution of carboxymethylcellulose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is high when the carboxymethylcellulose concentration in the solution is high, and is low when the carboxymethylcellulose concentration in the solution is low. Moreover, it is high when the molecular weight of carboxymethyl cellulose is large, and low when it is small. As an example, in order to obtain a viscosity of 400 mPa · s to 20000 mPa · s using sodium carboxymethylcellulose having a molecular weight of about 100,000 Da, an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose solution of about 1% w / v to 2% w / v may be used. . When carboxymethylcellulose having a smaller molecular weight is used, it is necessary to increase the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose. The viscosity of the aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose solution can be measured by a known method using, for example, a rotational viscosity measuring device (corn plate type) (TVE-20LT, TOKI SANGYO CO., LTD. JAPAN). A known method is, for example, the 16th revision Japanese Pharmacopoeia, General Test Method Viscosity Measurement Method (cone-plate rotational viscometer).
 アルギン酸の1価金属塩とカルボキシメチルセルロースまたはその薬学的に許容される塩とを混合して得られる組成物の粘度は、混合前の各溶液の粘度が同じであれば、混合前とほぼ同じになる。混合前の一方の溶液の粘度が高い場合には、これに、低い粘度の他方の溶液を混合することで、得られる組成物の粘度を下げることができる。混合前の一方の粘度の溶液が低い場合には、これに、高い粘度の他方の溶液を混合することで、得られる組成物の粘度を上げることができる。このようにして、5mPa・s~100000mPa・sの粘度を得ることができる。 The viscosity of the composition obtained by mixing the monovalent metal salt of alginic acid with carboxymethylcellulose or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is almost the same as before mixing if the viscosity of each solution before mixing is the same. Become. When the viscosity of one solution before mixing is high, the viscosity of the composition obtained can be lowered | hung by mixing the other solution of low viscosity with this. When the solution of one viscosity before mixing is low, the viscosity of the composition obtained can be raised by mixing the other solution of high viscosity with this. In this way, a viscosity of 5 mPa · s to 100,000 mPa · s can be obtained.

[procedure]
Rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal administration equivalent to 35 mg / kg pentobarbital, and the body weight was measured with an electronic balance. The rats were then laparotomized with a midline incision. Next, the abdominal wall was pinched with tweezers and lifted to cut the abdominal wall. As a preparation prior to performing a hepatectomy, a left lateral lobe was drawn from the back of the abdominal cavity and a gauze was laid under it. Next, we moved on to actual hepatectomy. Specifically, a ruler was applied to the liver, a position where the separation cross-section was 3 cm was searched, and both ends were cauterized by bipolar and marked. A straight line was cut between the marked two points. In the Control group, the abdomen was immediately closed and the treatment was terminated. In the group to which the anti-adhesive material was applied, the anti-adhesive material was applied after removing the gauze. MSC i. p. Group and MSC i. v. In the group, the mesenchymal stem cells were then immediately administered by injection. Next, the abdominal wall and skin were sutured twice and closed. A biodegradable thread was used for suturing the abdominal wall, and a non-absorbable thread was used for suturing the skin. One week after laparotomy, rats were sacrificed by administering about 2 mL of somnopentyl stock solution as an excessive amount of anesthesia, and the body weight was measured with an electronic balance. Thereafter, the abdomen was opened again, and the adhesion was evaluated as follows.
 [癒着の評価]
 癒着の評価は、目視により行った。腹腔内の以下の各部位について下記スコアリング法に基づき癒着スコアをつけた。
 部位:肝離断面、大網、腹膜、小腸、正中創直下
 癒着スコア:
  Grade0:癒着が全く見られない。
  Grade1:自重により剥離する程度の癒着(生理的な癒着)
  Grade2:ピンセットによる剥離が可能な癒着(鈍的な癒着)
  Grade3:ハサミ、メスを使わないと剥離できない癒着(鋭的な癒着)
[Evaluation of adhesions]
Adhesion was evaluated visually. An adhesion score was assigned to each of the following sites in the abdominal cavity based on the following scoring method.
Site: Hepatic section, omentum, peritoneum, small intestine, directly under the median wound Adhesion score:
Grade 0: No adhesion is seen at all.
Grade 1: Adhesion to the extent that it peels off due to its own weight (physiological adhesion)
Grade 2: Adhesion that can be peeled off with tweezers (blunt adhesion)
Grade 3: Adhesion that cannot be removed without using scissors and scalpel (sharp adhesion)
 [結果]
 癒着の評価の結果を図1および2に示し、体重測定の結果を図3に示す。
 癒着の評価については、Alginate/CMC群が一部肝切除モデルにおいて高い癒着防止効果を示した他、このゲルにMSCを封入したAlginate/CMC+MSC群で、ほぼ同等の高い癒着防止効果を示した(図1および2)。
 体重については、Alginate/CMC+MSC群では、他の群と比べ高い体重増加率を示し、MSCの投与により肝切除後の術後ストレスが軽減されたことが示唆された(図3)。また、Alginate/CMC群では、体重の変化があまり見られず、このゲルの適用による悪影響はないことが示唆された。
[result]
The results of adhesion evaluation are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the results of body weight measurement are shown in FIG.
Regarding the evaluation of adhesion, the Alginate / CMC group showed a high adhesion prevention effect in a partial hepatectomy model, and the Alginate / CMC + MSC group in which MSC was encapsulated in this gel showed almost the same high adhesion prevention effect ( Figures 1 and 2).
Regarding the body weight, the Alginate / CMC + MSC group showed a higher rate of weight gain than other groups, suggesting that postoperative hepatic resection stress was reduced by the administration of MSC (FIG. 3). In the Alginate / CMC group, the change in body weight was not so much, suggesting that there was no adverse effect by the application of this gel.

 [手順]
 ペントバルビタール35mg/kg相当の腹腔投与によりラットに麻酔をかけ、体重を電子天秤で測定した。その後、ラットを、正中切開で開腹した。次に、腹壁をピンセットでつまんで持ち上げ、腹壁を切断した。肝切除を行う前準備として、left lateral lobeを腹腔の奥から引き出し、その下にガーゼを敷いた。次に、実際の肝切除に移った。具体的には、ものさしを肝臓にあて、離断面が3cmになる位置を探し、その両端に、バイポーラで焼灼し、印をつけた。印をつけた2点の間を直線的に切除していった。Control群では、この後すぐ閉腹して処置を終了した。癒着防止材を適用する群では、この後、ガーゼを除去したのちに癒着防止材を適用した。次に、腹壁と皮膚を二回に分けて縫合し閉腹した。腹壁を縫合する際には生分解糸を用い、皮膚を縫合する際には非吸収糸を用いた。閉腹から一週間後に、ラットに過剰量の麻酔として約2mLのソムノペンチル原液を投与して屠殺し、体重を電子天秤で測定した。
その後、再び開腹し、以下の通り癒着を評価した。
[procedure]
Rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal administration equivalent to 35 mg / kg pentobarbital, and the body weight was measured with an electronic balance. The rats were then laparotomized with a midline incision. Next, the abdominal wall was pinched with tweezers and lifted to cut the abdominal wall. As a preparation prior to performing a hepatectomy, a left lateral lobe was drawn from the back of the abdominal cavity and a gauze was laid under it. Next, we moved on to actual hepatectomy. Specifically, a ruler was applied to the liver, a position where the separation cross-section was 3 cm was searched, and both ends were cauterized by bipolar and marked. A straight line was cut between the marked two points. In the Control group, the abdomen was immediately closed and the treatment was terminated. In the group to which the anti-adhesive material was applied, the anti-adhesive material was applied after removing the gauze. Next, the abdominal wall and skin were sutured twice and closed. A biodegradable thread was used for suturing the abdominal wall, and a non-absorbable thread was used for suturing the skin. One week after laparotomy, rats were sacrificed by administering about 2 mL of somnopentyl stock solution as an excessive amount of anesthesia, and the body weight was measured with an electronic balance.
Thereafter, the abdomen was opened again, and the adhesion was evaluated as follows.

[Evaluation of adhesions]
Adhesion was evaluated as follows.
(1) Separation Section The following (a) and (b) were evaluated for the liver separation section described in [Procedure] above.
(A) Adhesion grade Adhesion was evaluated visually. An adhesion score was assigned to the hepatic section based on the following scoring method.
Adhesion score:
Grade 0: No adhesion is seen at all.
Grade 1: Adhesion to the extent that it peels off due to its own weight (physiological adhesion)
Grade 2: Adhesion that can be peeled off with tweezers (blunt adhesion)
Grade 3: Adhesion that cannot be removed without using scissors and scalpel (sharp adhesion)
(B) Adhesive Extent
Of the 3 cm hepatic section, the width at which adhesions were formed was measured with a ruler and expressed in mm (thus, the maximum extent of the section is 30 mm).
(2) Non-separation section Other than the hepatic section, the following evaluations (a) and (b) were performed on the liver surface, omentum, peritoneum, small intestine, directly under the midline, and the like.
(A) Adhesion grade Adhesion was evaluated visually. Adhesion scores were assigned based on the following scoring method for sites other than the hepatic section. The site was not specified, and the maximum value of the observed adhesion score was recorded as the adhesion score of the test animal.
Adhesion score:
Grade 0: No adhesion is seen at all.
Grade 1: Adhesion to the extent that it peels off due to its own weight (physiological adhesion)
Grade 2: Adhesion that can be peeled off with tweezers (blunt adhesion)
Grade 3: Adhesion that cannot be removed without using scissors and scalpel (sharp adhesion)
(B) Adhesive Extent
For sites other than the hepatic section, the width at which adhesions were formed was measured with a ruler and expressed in mm. Similar to (2) and (a) above, the site was not specified, and the maximum value of the width at which the observed adhesion was formed was recorded as the adhesion extent of the test animal.

 [結果]
 癒着の評価の結果を図4(離断面)および図5(非離断面)に示した。
 離断面においては、各群とも、Control群に比べて癒着が抑制される傾向が認められた(図4(a)および(b))。
 非離断面において、本発明のAlginate/CMCゲルによる、顕著な癒着防止効果が確認された(図5(a)および(b))。陽性対照として用いたSeprafilm(商品名)およびInterceed(商品名)では癒着防止効果は認められず、Control群に比べて癒着が増悪する傾向が認められた。一方、Alginate/CMCゲルでは、各群とも優位な癒着防止効果が確認された。また、低エンドトキシン処理していないCMCに比べ、低エンドトキシン処理したCMCを用いることにより、癒着防止効果が高まる傾向が認められた。
 体重については、Control群、陽性対照群、およびAlginate/CMC群間で有意差はなく、本発明のAlginate/CMCゲルの適用による悪影響はないことが示唆された。
 
[result]
The results of adhesion evaluation are shown in FIG. 4 (separated section) and FIG. 5 (non-separated section).
In the separation plane, in each group, there was a tendency for adhesion to be suppressed as compared to the Control group (FIGS. 4A and 4B).
In the non-separated cross section, the remarkable adhesion preventing effect by the Alginate / CMC gel of the present invention was confirmed (FIGS. 5A and 5B). In the case of Seprafilm (trade name) and Interceed (trade name) used as positive controls, no adhesion prevention effect was observed, and a tendency for adhesion to worsen was observed compared to the Control group. On the other hand, with the Alginate / CMC gel, a superior adhesion prevention effect was confirmed in each group. Moreover, the tendency for the adhesion prevention effect to increase was recognized by using CMC treated with low endotoxin as compared with CMC not treated with low endotoxin.
Regarding body weight, there was no significant difference among the Control group, the positive control group, and the Alginate / CMC group, suggesting that there was no adverse effect due to the application of the Alginate / CMC gel of the present invention.
