Description

刺激感が抑制された眼科組成物Ophthalmic composition with suppressed irritation
 本発明は、刺激感が抑制された眼科組成物、眼科組成物用の刺激抑制剤、眼科組成物の刺激を抑制する方法及び眼刺激の評価方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an ophthalmic composition in which the sensation of irritation is suppressed, an irritation inhibitor for the ophthalmic composition, a method for suppressing irritation of the ophthalmic composition, and a method for evaluating eye irritation.
 TRP(Transient Receptor Potential)チャネルは膜貫通領域を有する陽イオンチャネルであり、4量体として機能すると考えられている。TRPチャネルは感覚受容のさまざまな局面で機能する陽イオンチャネルファミリーであり、多様な刺激に応答する多くのTRPチャネル分子が存在する(非特許文献1)。TRPM8は清涼感、TRPA1は痛み、TRPV1は灼熱感に関与する細胞センサである。眼においてもTRPA1及びTRPV1が不快感や痛みに関与していることが報告されている(非特許文献2)。 The TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) channel is a cation channel having a transmembrane region and is considered to function as a tetramer. TRP channels are a family of cation channels that function in various aspects of sensory receptor, and there are many TRP channel molecules that respond to various stimuli (Non-Patent Document 1). TRPM8 is a refreshing sensation, TRPA1 is a pain, and TRPV1 is a cell sensor involved in a burning sensation. It has been reported that TRPA1 and TRPV1 are also involved in discomfort and pain in the eye (Non-Patent Document 2).
 l-メントールは、TRPM8アゴニストであり、点眼剤等において清涼化剤として用いられるが、TRPA1アゴニストでもあるため、眼に清涼感とともに刺激感を与えることも知られている。 L-Menthol is a TRPM8 agonist and is used as a refreshing agent in eye drops and the like, but since it is also a TRPA1 agonist, it is also known to give a refreshing sensation and an irritating sensation to the eyes.
 本発明の課題は、刺激感が抑制された眼科組成物、眼科組成物用の刺激抑制剤、眼科組成物の刺激を抑制する方法及び眼刺激の評価方法を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide an ophthalmic composition in which a feeling of irritation is suppressed, an irritation inhibitor for the ophthalmic composition, a method for suppressing irritation of the ophthalmic composition, and a method for evaluating eye irritation.
 本発明者は、鋭意研究を重ねた結果、特定の成分を含有する眼科組成物が、l-メントール等のTRPA1アゴニストによる、眼への刺激感を抑制出来ること、特に、l-メントール等の清涼感を維持しつつ刺激感を抑制出来ること、さらに、上記課題を解決できることを見出した。 As a result of diligent research, the present inventor has been able to suppress the irritation to the eyes caused by TRPA1 agonists such as l-menthol in ophthalmic compositions containing specific components, in particular, refreshing of l-menthol and the like. It was found that the stimulus can be suppressed while maintaining the sensation, and that the above problems can be solved.

 具体的には以下のプロトコールに従って実施した。前日に準備(上記した細胞培養)を行っていた96ウェルプレートをインキュベーターより取り出し、DMEM培地をデカンテーションで除去した。100μL/ウェルの緩衝液(pH 7.4、5.37 mM KCl、0.44 mM KH2PO4、137 mM NaCl、0.34 mM Na2HPO4、5.56 mM D-glucose、20 mM HEPES、1 mM CaCl2、0.1% bovine serum albumin、2.5 mM probenecid、残余 精製水)で優しく洗浄し、1.5μM Fluo-8で溶解した同上の緩衝液を50μLずつウェルに添加した後、37℃、5%CO2インキュベーターで1時間処理した。インキュベーター処理後、Fluo-8が入った同上の緩衝液をデカンテーションで除去し、100μL/ウェルの同上の緩衝液で優しく洗浄した。さらに、180μL/ウェルの同上の緩衝液を添加して、Flexstation II (レジスタードトレードマーク) 又はFlexstation III (レジスタードトレードマーク) マイクロプレートリーダー(Molecular Devices、Sunnyvale、CA、USA)で測定を開始した。マイクロプレートリーダー測定開始30秒後に被験試料を20μL/ウェル添加し、添加後5秒~120秒間における蛍光量の最大値を測定し、この値を蛍光量とした。
[Test Example 1] Confirmation test for suppression of irritation by l-menthol Menthol is known to activate the stimulus receptor TRPA1 to stimulate it. Therefore, l-menthol and a test sample (Example) were administered to the above-mentioned cells, and it was confirmed whether the test sample inhibited TRPA1 activity by l-menthol.
Using a Ca 2+ concentration indicator (Fluor-4 or Fluor-8 (manufactured by AAT Bioquest, Inc.), it was observed whether the TRP activity was changed. The Ca 2+ concentration indicator was T-REx-293 that previously held hTRPA1. It was taken up into cells, and the amount of fluorescence was measured with a microplate reader.
Specifically, it was carried out according to the following protocol. The 96-well plate prepared the day before (the above-mentioned cell culture) was taken out from the incubator, and the DMEM medium was removed by decantation. 100 μL / well buffer (pH 7.4, 5.37 mM KCl, 0.44 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 137 mM NaCl, 0.34 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 5.56 mM D-glucose, 20 mM Gently washed with HEPES, 1 mM CaCl 2 , 0.1% chloride serum albumin, 2.5 mM pH probecid, residual purified water), and 50 μL of the same buffer solution dissolved in 1.5 μM Fluo-8 was added to the wells. After that, it was treated with a 5% CO 2 incubator at 37 ° C. for 1 hour. After incubator treatment, the same buffer containing Fluo-8 was decanted and gently washed with 100 μL / well of the same buffer. In addition, 180 μL / well of the same buffer was added and measurements were initiated on a Flexstation II (registered trademark) or Flexstation III (registered trademark) microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). .. 20 μL / well of the test sample was added 30 seconds after the start of the microplate reader measurement, and the maximum value of the fluorescence amount was measured from 5 seconds to 120 seconds after the addition, and this value was taken as the fluorescence amount.

[試験例2]l-メントールのTRPA1活性化の可視化、経時観察及び結合能力評価
 上記試験例1と同様の原理に基づき、Ca2+濃度に応じて蛍光量が増すCa2+濃度指示薬Fluo-8を用いてTRPの活性化度を測定した。Ca2+濃度指示薬を予めhTRPA1遺伝子を保持したT-REx-293細胞内に取り込ませておき、蛍光顕微鏡システム(Leica, LAS AF6000)にて蛍光量を可視化した。
[Test Example 2] l-visualization of TRPA1 activation of menthol, based on the same principle as time-series observation and binding capacity evaluation in Test Example 1, the Ca 2+ concentration indicator Fluo-8 fluorescence amount is increased in accordance with the Ca 2+ concentration The degree of activation of TRP was measured using. The Ca 2+ concentration indicator was previously incorporated into T-REx-293 cells carrying the hTRPA1 gene, and the amount of fluorescence was visualized with a fluorescence microscope system (Leica, LAS AF6000).
 カバーガラス上に約60×10cell/mLのhTRPA1遺伝子を保持したT-REx-293細胞DMEM懸濁液をスライドガラス1枚あたり20μL滴下して、37℃、5%COインキュベーターで一晩インキュベートした。インキュベートしたカバーガラスをインキュベーターより取り出し、培地をデカンテーションで除去した。カバーガラスを緩衝液 (pH 7.4、5.37 mM KCl、0.44 mM KH2PO4、137 mM NaCl、0.34 mM Na2HPO4、5.56 mM D-glucose、20 mM HEPES、1 mM CaCl2、残余 精製水)で優しく洗浄した後、蛍光指示薬Fluo-8/緩衝液を添加し、37℃、5%CO2インキュベーターで1時間処理した。インキュベーター処理後、カバーガラスをチャンバー上に設置し、蛍光顕微鏡システム(Leica, LAS AF6000)にて蛍光量を可視化及び経時観察した。 20 μL of T-REx-293 cell DMEM suspension carrying the hTRPA1 gene of about 60 × 10 4 cell / mL was added dropwise to each slide glass on a cover glass, and overnight at 37 ° C. in a 5% CO 2 incubator. Incubated. The incubated cover glass was removed from the incubator and the medium was decanted. Buffer the cover glass (pH 7.4, 5.37 mM KCl, 0.44 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 137 mM NaCl, 0.34 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 5.56 mM D-glucose, 20 mM HEPES. After gently washing with (1 mM NaCl 2 , residual purified water), the fluorescent indicator Fluo-8 / buffer was added, and the mixture was treated in a 5% CO 2 incubator at 37 ° C. for 1 hour. After the incubator treatment, the cover glass was placed on the chamber, and the amount of fluorescence was visualized and observed over time with a fluorescence microscope system (Leica, LAS AF6000).
 本試験の流れは以下の通りである。
(1)緩衝液中で蛍光試薬の発光量が安定しているのを確認した後に、緩衝液をl-メントール(66.7μM)を含有する緩衝液に替え、TRPA1を活性させる。
(2)TRPA1の活性化が確認できた後に、l-メントール(66.7μM)を含有する緩衝液を、さらに同濃度のl-メントールと各被験試料(テトラヒドロゾリン塩酸塩 0.003125w/v%、ペパーミントオイル0.015w/v%)との組み合わせに替え、TRPA1活性が阻害されるか確認を行う。
(3)TRPA1活性の阻害効果が確認できた後に、l-メントールと各被験試料を含有する緩衝液を、(1)で用いたl-メントールを含有する緩衝液に戻し、TRPA1が再び活性化されるか確認を行う。
The flow of this test is as follows.
(1) After confirming that the amount of light emitted from the fluorescent reagent is stable in the buffer solution, the buffer solution is replaced with a buffer solution containing l-menthol (66.7 μM) to activate TRPA1.
(2) After the activation of TRPA1 was confirmed, a buffer solution containing l-menthol (66.7 μM) was added, and the same concentration of l-menthol and each test sample (tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride 0.003125 w / v%) were added. Instead of the combination with peppermint oil 0.015 w / v%), it is confirmed whether TRPA1 activity is inhibited.
(3) After confirming the inhibitory effect on TRPA1 activity, the buffer solution containing l-menthol and each test sample was returned to the buffer solution containing l-menthol used in (1), and TRPA1 was activated again. Check if it is done.
 l-メントールによるTRPA1活性化を蛍光顕微鏡にて可視化した結果を図2に示す。ボルネオールを被験試料として用いたものはTRPA1活性阻害効果を示した後に、試験液をl-メントールに戻すと再度、TRPA1活性を示した(図2の参考例参照)。一方、(A-1)充血除去成分であるテトラヒドロゾリン塩酸塩及び(A-3)成分を含む精油であるペパーミントオイルを被験試料として用いたものは、TRPA1活性阻害効果を示した後に、試験液をメントールのみのものに戻すと阻害効果が見られないか、再活性化が弱かった(図2の実施例参照)。
 すなわち、本発明の(A-1)成分及び(A-3)成分は、それぞれ、TRPA1受容体に対する阻害効果をしばらくの間、持続出来たと考えられる。
The result of visualizing TRPA1 activation by l-menthol with a fluorescence microscope is shown in FIG. The sample using borneol as a test sample showed TRPA1 activity inhibitory effect, and then returned to l-menthol to show TRPA1 activity again (see the reference example in FIG. 2). On the other hand, those using tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, which is a decongestant component (A-1), and peppermint oil, which is an essential oil containing the component (A-3), as test samples showed a TRPA1 activity inhibitory effect, and then the test solution was used. Returning to menthol-only ones showed no inhibitory effect or weak reactivation (see Examples in FIG. 2).
That is, it is considered that the components (A-1) and (A-3) of the present invention were able to sustain the inhibitory effect on the TRPA1 receptor for a while.
