- Patent Document 1 describes that it is useful for the treatment and prevention of autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases.
- Tacrolimus is widely used to treat rejection after organ transplantation, graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation, refractory active ulcerative colitis, etc.
- tacrolimus is poorly soluble in water (2.4 to 3.6 ⁇ M, room temperature) and has low bioavailability when administered orally.
- the therapeutic range of tacrolimus is narrow, and the pharmacokinetics between individuals and within individuals are large, making it difficult to control blood concentration.
- Known factors for tacrolimus pharmacokinetics include low solubility in water, the expression level of P-glycoprotein and drug metabolizing enzyme CYP3A in the gastrointestinal mucosa, and individual differences in genotype (Non-patent Document 1, 2).
- nephrotoxicity is caused by a decrease in blood flow and glomerular filtration rate due to the vasoconstrictive action of renal arterioles, and in addition, a lack of nutritional supply to tubular cells.

- the drug physically adsorbed on the polymer is gradually released from the polymer in the body regardless of a chemical reaction such as a hydrolysis reaction. In either case, the enzyme is not involved in the release of the drug from the polymer, but the difference in the binding mode between the polymer and the drug is thought to cause a difference in the release mechanism of the drug.
- Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 describe a polymer derivative obtained from a copolymer composed of polyethylene glycols and polyaspartic acid and a drug.
- a copolymer and a drug are physically adsorbed.
- the sustained release property of the polymer derivative is due to the gradual dissociation of the drug from the copolymer, and selectively exhibits a medicinal effect on the affected area and has few side effects.

実施例1乃至8の化合物の生理食塩水溶液(5mg/kg)を各群5匹ずつ尾静脈内に投与した。対照としては未投与群を設定した。他は試験例5と同様にして抗炎症効果を検討した。実施例1及び4の化合物の結果を図10に、実施例1及び3の化合物の結果を図11に、実施例1、2、5及び6の化合物の結果を図12実施例1、2、7及び8の化合物の結果を図13にそれぞれ示す。
ウシ関節軟骨由来タイプIIコラーゲン0.3mgを10週齢雌性DAラット(日本エスエルシー株式会社)に皮内投与することにより、コラーゲン関節炎を誘発した。コラーゲン関節炎誘発群及び非誘発群に対して合成例8の化合物を尾静脈内投与し、投与後24時間後に後肢足根関節の凍結病理切片を作製し、蛍光を観察した。結果を図14に示す。
