Description

内服剤Internal use
 本発明は、内服剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an internal medicine.
 様々な生理活性を有する機能性成分を内包した内服剤は、健康食品としての需要が高まっている。内服剤は、体内で崩壊した時に安定的に効果を発揮するよう水中で均一に分散すること(分散性)が要求される。機能性成分が難溶性成分である場合、分散性のために食品に使用可能な乳化剤(例えばグリセリン脂肪酸エステル)を併用する(例えば、特許文献1~2)。 Demand for oral medicines containing functional ingredients having various physiological activities is increasing as health foods. An internal medicine is required to be uniformly dispersed (dispersibility) in water so as to exhibit a stable effect when disintegrated in the body. When the functional component is a poorly soluble component, an emulsifier (for example, glycerin fatty acid ester) that can be used in food for dispersibility is used in combination (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

 しかしながら、グリセリン脂肪酸エステルを乳化剤として用いると、胃の中を想定した試験液中での崩壊後に難溶性成分が再凝集して油滴を形成しやすくなる傾向にある。内服剤において、製剤が体内(例えば胃の中)で崩壊した後に効率よく吸収されるためには、再凝集を抑制する必要がある。本発明は、難溶性成分を含む内服剤において、体内の消化器官中でも良好な分散性を示し得る内服剤の提供を目的とする。 However, when glycerin fatty acid ester is used as an emulsifier, the hardly soluble component tends to re-aggregate and easily form oil droplets after disintegration in the test solution assuming the stomach. In internal use, it is necessary to suppress reaggregation in order for the preparation to be efficiently absorbed after disintegration in the body (for example, in the stomach). An object of the present invention is to provide an internal preparation containing a poorly soluble component, which can exhibit good dispersibility even in the digestive organs of the body.
