Abstract
Description
本発明は、ε−ポリリジンを主成分とする極細繊維及び繊維構造体、それらを製造するための方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an ultrafine fiber and a fiber structure mainly composed of ε-polylysine, and a method for producing them.
近年、数十〜数百ナノメートル（ｎｍ）の直径を有する、いわゆるナノ繊維が注目され、ドラッグデリバリー、足場材料、創傷被覆材などのバイオメディカル分野、発光体用電子銃や各種センサーなどのエレクトロニクス分野、高性能フィルターなどの環境対応分野への応用が期待されている。特にバイオメディカルの分野においては、足場材料や細胞接着基材等への応用面からナノレベルでの構造制御が重要となるため、直径が極めて細い繊維（ナノ繊維）の作製が望まれている。そのような極細繊維を製造する方法としては、例えば電界紡糸法がある。 In recent years, so-called nanofibers having a diameter of several tens to several hundreds of nanometers (nm) have attracted attention, biomedical fields such as drug delivery, scaffolding materials, wound dressing materials, electronics such as electron guns for light emitters and various sensors. Application to environmentally friendly fields such as high performance filters is expected. In particular, in the biomedical field, since structural control at the nano level is important from the viewpoint of application to scaffold materials, cell adhesion substrates, and the like, it is desired to produce fibers (nanofibers) with extremely small diameters. As a method for producing such an ultrafine fiber, for example, there is an electrospinning method.
また、ポリカチオンは、そのカチオン性と分子量効果（分子鎖の凝集力や、強度や接着性等の物理的特性など）の両方を利用し、医薬・抗体等の固定、化粧品、接着剤、塗料、紙力増強剤等に広く利用されている。これらはナノ繊維化することで、高い比表面積を有するようになるため、細胞接着性の向上や医薬・抗体等の固定サイト数増加などの効果が得られる。これらの特徴と天然由来である特性を活かして、天然由来のポリカチオンを繊維化する研究が進められている（特許文献１）。特許文献１は、セルロース又はキトサン等の多糖類を電界紡糸法によって極細繊維とする発明であり、これらの材料を有機溶媒に溶解したものを紡糸液とし、電界紡糸法によって極細繊維とした後、必要に応じてアルカリ処理をすることによって水不溶性のセルロース極細繊維ないしキトサン極細繊維を得たことが開示されている。 Polycations use both their cationic properties and molecular weight effects (molecular chain cohesion, physical properties such as strength and adhesiveness), fixing pharmaceuticals and antibodies, cosmetics, adhesives, paints It is widely used as a paper strength enhancer. Since these nanofibers have a high specific surface area, effects such as an improvement in cell adhesion and an increase in the number of fixed sites for drugs / antibodies can be obtained. Taking advantage of these characteristics and properties that are naturally derived, research into fiberizing naturally-derived polycations is underway (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 is an invention in which a polysaccharide such as cellulose or chitosan is made into an ultrafine fiber by an electrospinning method, a solution obtained by dissolving these materials in an organic solvent is used as a spinning solution, and after making an ultrafine fiber by an electrospinning method, It is disclosed that a water-insoluble cellulose ultrafine fiber or chitosan ultrafine fiber was obtained by performing an alkali treatment as necessary.
多糖類であるキトサンやポリアミノ酸であるポリリジン等は生体毒性が低く、特にポリリジンは優れた生体親和性から、医療機器のコーティング材、ドラッグデリバリー、医薬・抗体の固定担体、抗菌性、食品添加剤などの用途で有効に用いられる。 Polysaccharides such as chitosan and polyamino acids such as polylysine have low biotoxicity, especially polylysine because of its excellent biocompatibility, coating materials for medical devices, drug delivery, pharmaceutical / antibody immobilization carriers, antibacterial properties, food additives It is effectively used for such applications.
ポリリジンには、α位のアミノ基とカルボキシル基等が縮合したα−ポリリジンと、ε位のアミノ基とカルボキシル基等が縮合したε−ポリリジンの２種類が存在する。α−ポリリジンは、ポリカチオンの特性により、バイオメディカル分野において、インターフェロン誘導物質の効果の向上、薬物透過性の向上、ＤＮＡ等とのポリイオンコンプレックス、遺伝子及び核酸等のデリバリーなどの用途に使用することができると報告されている。しかしながら、このような用途では生体毒性が重要となってくるが、α−ポリリジンは少なからず細胞毒性を示すという報告もある（非特許文献１）。上記用途では、α−ポリリジンのカチオン性を利用しており、天然由来のε−ポリリジンはα−ポリリジンの代替として適している。ε−ポリリジンを含有した極細繊維の例としては、他のポリマー中にポリリジンを含有することで作製した極細繊維の例があげられる（特許文献２）。特許文献２は、生体適合性繊維の不織布に骨補填材を含有する骨再生用材料に関する発明であり、生体適合性ポリマーの一例としてポリリジンが開示されている。但し、実施例には、ポリ乳酸不織布のみが示されており、ポリリジンを材料として繊維ないし不織布とした例はない。 There are two types of polylysine: α-polylysine in which an α-position amino group and a carboxyl group are condensed, and ε-polylysine in which an ε-position amino group and a carboxyl group are condensed. α-polylysine should be used in the biomedical field for purposes such as improving the effects of interferon inducers, improving drug permeability, polyion complexes with DNA, delivery of genes and nucleic acids, etc. It has been reported that However, biotoxicity is important for such applications, but there are reports that α-polylysine exhibits cytotoxicity (Non-Patent Document 1). In the above application, the cationic property of α-polylysine is used, and naturally-derived ε-polylysine is suitable as an alternative to α-polylysine. As an example of the ultrafine fiber containing ε-polylysine, an example of an ultrafine fiber produced by containing polylysine in another polymer can be given (Patent Document 2). Patent Document 2 is an invention relating to a bone regeneration material containing a bone grafting material in a nonwoven fabric of biocompatible fibers, and polylysine is disclosed as an example of a biocompatible polymer. However, only the polylactic acid nonwoven fabric is shown in the Examples, and there is no example of using fiber or nonwoven fabric with polylysine as a material.
特許文献３は、セルロース等の糖質とε−ポリリジンと電解質とを含む組成物の発明であり、この組成物を含有する繊維が開示されている。実施例においては、セルロースに対して０．１％のε−ポリリジンを含む、レーヨンビスコースの紡糸原液を湿式紡糸してε−ポリリジンを含有する繊維を得たことが開示されている。 Patent Document 3 is an invention of a composition containing a sugar such as cellulose, ε-polylysine and an electrolyte, and a fiber containing this composition is disclosed. In Examples, it is disclosed that a fiber containing ε-polylysine was obtained by wet spinning a spinning stock solution of rayon viscose containing 0.1% ε-polylysine with respect to cellulose.
上記のとおり、ε−ポリリジンを繊維に一部含有させることやε−ポリリジンを添加した極細繊維は公知であった。しかしながら、ε−ポリリジンはその分子量が繊維化するには低すぎるためか、未だにε−ポリリジンを繊維化し、ε−ポリリジンを主成分として含む極細繊維は得られていなかった。
上記の状況に鑑み、本発明は、カチオン性ポリペプチドであるε−ポリリジンを主成分として含む極細繊維を提供することを課題とする。
As described above, a very fine fiber in which ε-polylysine is partially contained in the fiber and ε-polylysine is added has been known. However, since ε-polylysine has a molecular weight that is too low for fiber formation, ε-polylysine has yet to be made into fibers and ultrafine fibers containing ε-polylysine as a main component have not been obtained.
In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide an ultrafine fiber containing ε-polylysine, which is a cationic polypeptide, as a main component.
本発明者らは、前述の従来技術の問題点に鑑み、鋭意研究を重ねた。その結果、トリフルオロ酢酸に溶解したε−ポリリジン溶液はコンプレックス構造を形成することで繊維化に必要な曳糸性を発現し、ε−ポリリジンを主成分とする極細繊維が得られることを見出した。この方法で得られた極細繊維は、そのカチオン性を巧みに利用して種々のポリアニオンとコンプレックスを作ることが可能であり、ポリイオンコンプレックスにより多岐な分野で利用可能である。 In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present inventors have conducted extensive research. As a result, it was found that the ε-polylysine solution dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid exhibits a spinnability necessary for fiberization by forming a complex structure, and an ultrafine fiber mainly composed of ε-polylysine can be obtained. . The ultrafine fibers obtained by this method can make complex with various polyanions by utilizing their cationic properties, and can be used in various fields by polyion complexes.

（ε−ポリリジン極細繊維）
本発明は、ε−ポリリジン（以下、ＥＰＬと記述する。）を主成分として含む、具体的には、繊維に対して３０重量％以上のＥＰＬを含有する極細繊維である。ＥＰＬを主成分とすることにより、抗菌性などをはじめとするＥＰＬの性質を効果的に利用することが可能となる。また、フッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物を含有させることで、十分な紡糸性で極細繊維が得られるため、比表面積が大きく、ＥＰＬ極細繊維の特性を十分に引き出すことが可能となる。
(Ε-polylysine microfiber)
The present invention is an ultrafine fiber containing ε-polylysine (hereinafter referred to as EPL) as a main component, specifically containing 30% by weight or more of EPL with respect to the fiber. By using EPL as a main component, it becomes possible to effectively use the properties of EPL including antibacterial properties. Further, by adding a compound having a fluorine atom and a carboxyl group, an ultrafine fiber can be obtained with sufficient spinnability, so that the specific surface area is large, and the characteristics of the EPL ultrafine fiber can be sufficiently extracted.
本発明の極細繊維は、ＥＰＬを主成分として構成されている。極細繊維におけるＥＰＬの構成比率は、主成分であれば、特に制限されるものではないが、繊維に対して３０重量％以上であり、５０重量％以上であることが好ましく、８０重量％以上であることがより好ましく、ＥＰＬのみで構成されていることが更に好ましい。ＥＰＬの本来の特徴である抗菌性や生体親和性、生体毒性の低さなどの特性を活かすためには、極細繊維におけるＥＰＬの構成比率が高いほど好ましい。 The ultrafine fiber of the present invention is composed mainly of EPL. The composition ratio of EPL in the ultrafine fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is a main component, but is 30% by weight or more, preferably 50% by weight or more, and 80% by weight or more with respect to the fiber. More preferably, it is more preferably composed only of EPL. In order to make use of characteristics such as antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, low biotoxicity, etc., which are the original characteristics of EPL, the higher the EPL component ratio in the ultrafine fibers, the better.
また、ＥＰＬは分子量が低く、それ単独では満足できる紡糸性が得られない場合もあり、紡糸性を改善するために、ＥＰＬの特性を著しく損なわない範囲で、他の成分と混合して極細繊維を得ることも可能である。他の成分の種類は特に限定されないが、ポリフッ化ビニリデンやナイロン６、ナイロン６，６、ポリウレタン、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリエチレンオキサイド、天然コラーゲン、ポリ乳酸、キトサンなどを例示することができる。ＥＰＬの生体親和性の高さを活かすためには、生体親和性に優れるポリビニルアルコールやポリエチレンオキサイド、キトサンなどが特に好ましい。 In addition, EPL has a low molecular weight and may not provide satisfactory spinnability by itself, and in order to improve the spinnability, it is mixed with other components within a range that does not significantly impair the properties of EPL, and ultrafine fiber. It is also possible to obtain Although the kind of other component is not specifically limited, Polyvinylidene fluoride, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, polyurethane, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, natural collagen, polylactic acid, chitosan, etc. can be illustrated. In order to take advantage of the high biocompatibility of EPL, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, chitosan and the like that are excellent in biocompatibility are particularly preferable.
また、ＥＰＬは潮解性を有しており、潮解性の制御が必要な場合もあり、潮解性を抑制するために、ＥＰＬの特性を著しく損なわない範囲で、他の成分と混合して極細繊維を得ることも可能である。他の成分の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、前述のポリマー等が使用できる。 In addition, EPL has deliquescence and may require deliquescence control. In order to suppress deliquescence, it is mixed with other components within a range that does not significantly impair the properties of EPL. It is also possible to obtain The kind of other component is not specifically limited, The above-mentioned polymer etc. can be used.
本発明の極細繊維に用いるＥＰＬを得る方法は、特に制限はなく、微生物を用いる製造法、化学合成法等、いかなる製造法によるものでもよい。なかでも、微生物を用いて製造されるＥＰＬ、例えば、特開２００５−３１８８１５号公報等に記載されたε−ポリ−Ｌ−リジンの製造法によって得られるＥＰＬ、すなわち、ストレプトマイセス属に属するＥＰＬ生産菌であるストレプトマイセス・アウレオファシエンス（Streptomyces aureofaciuens）を培地に培養し、得られる培養物からＥＰＬを分離、採取することによって得られたＥＰＬが特に好ましい。また、ＥＰＬは市販品をそのまま利用してもよく、カチオン性ポリマーとしての機能を失わない程度に、化学修飾等を実施して使用してもよい。 The method for obtaining the EPL used for the ultrafine fiber of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any production method such as a production method using a microorganism or a chemical synthesis method may be used. Especially, EPL manufactured using microorganisms, for example, EPL obtained by the manufacturing method of epsilon-poly-L-lysine described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2005-318815 etc., ie, EPL which belongs to Streptomyces genus An EPL obtained by culturing Streptomyces aureofaciuens, which is a production bacterium, in a medium and separating and collecting EPL from the resulting culture is particularly preferred. EPL may be a commercially available product as it is, or may be used after chemical modification or the like to such an extent that the function as a cationic polymer is not lost.
本発明において使用するＥＰＬは、遊離の形で用いることができるが、アミノ基が塩の状態であっても、同等の効果を奏する。ＥＰＬの塩は、無機塩であっても有機酸塩であってもよい。無機塩としては、塩酸、硫酸、およびリン酸などを挙げることができる。また、有機塩としては、クエン酸、グルコン酸、酢酸、酒石酸、乳酸、フマル酸、コハク酸、リンゴ酸、アジピン酸、プロピオン酸、ソルビン酸、安息香酸のナトリウム塩、カリウム塩、カルシウム塩、鉄塩等が挙げることができる。これら無機酸および有機酸も１種または２種以上混合して用いることができる。得られるＥＰＬの極細繊維は、遊離の形でも、塩の形でも、差異はない。 The EPL used in the present invention can be used in a free form, but has the same effect even when the amino group is in a salt state. The salt of EPL may be an inorganic salt or an organic acid salt. Examples of inorganic salts include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid. Organic salts include citric acid, gluconic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, adipic acid, propionic acid, sorbic acid, sodium salt of benzoic acid, potassium salt, calcium salt, iron A salt etc. can be mentioned. These inorganic acids and organic acids can also be used alone or in combination. There is no difference in the resulting EPL ultrafine fibers in free or salt form.
本発明の極細繊維は、１０ｎｍ〜２０００ｎｍ、好ましくは３０ｎｍ〜１０００ｎｍの繊維径を有する、長繊維又は短繊維である。極細繊維の繊維径が小さくなると繊維比表面積が大きくなるので好ましいが、繊維径が２０００ｎｍ以下であれば十分な高比表面積を生かした高い抗菌性等の効果が得られるので好ましく、１０００ｎｍ以下であれば更に好ましい。また、繊維径が大きくなると繊維１本あたりの力学強力が高くなるが、繊維径が１０ｎｍ以上であれば満足できる材料強度やハンドリング性を示すようになるので好ましく、３０ｎｍ以上であれば十分な特性となるのでより好ましい。本発明の極細繊維の繊維長は特に制限されず、図１に示される写真のように繊維の長さ方向に延在する構造を有するものであればよく、フィブリルは含まない。 The ultrafine fibers of the present invention are long fibers or short fibers having a fiber diameter of 10 nm to 2000 nm, preferably 30 nm to 1000 nm. When the fiber diameter of the ultrafine fiber is decreased, the fiber specific surface area is increased, which is preferable. However, if the fiber diameter is 2000 nm or less, a high antibacterial effect utilizing a sufficiently high specific surface area is obtained, and preferably 1000 nm or less. More preferred. In addition, as the fiber diameter increases, the mechanical strength per fiber increases. However, if the fiber diameter is 10 nm or more, satisfactory material strength and handling properties are exhibited, and if the fiber diameter is 30 nm or more, sufficient characteristics are obtained. This is more preferable. The fiber length of the ultrafine fiber of the present invention is not particularly limited, as long as it has a structure extending in the length direction of the fiber as shown in the photograph shown in FIG. 1 and does not include fibrils.
本発明の極細繊維は、単一繊維であってもよいし、複合繊維あるいは２種以上の繊維が混合されてなる混合繊維であってもよい。 The ultrafine fiber of the present invention may be a single fiber, a composite fiber or a mixed fiber obtained by mixing two or more kinds of fibers.
本発明の極細繊維は、特に限定されるわけではないが、フッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物を含有することが好ましい。ここで、フッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物とは、構造中にフッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物をいう。該化合物は、例えば、繊維化の過程で使用する、ＥＰＬを溶解するために使用した溶媒に由来するものである。特定の理論に拘束されるものではないが、繊維化の過程で溶媒を十分に除去しても得られた極細繊維にフッ素原子が残存するという事実は、ＥＰＬとフッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物とがコンプレックスを形成し、得られた極細繊維においてもかかるコンプレックスが保持されていることを示していると推定される。より詳しくは、紡糸溶液の状態で、ＥＰＬのアミノ基と、フッ素原子とカルボキシル基を有する化合物のカルボキシル基とがイオン結合でコンプレックスを形成し、続く電界紡糸においては電界の力によって凝集が促進され、分子集合体様の挙動をする、と推定される。またこのコンプレックスの形成によって、ＥＰＬを主体とする極細繊維を得るために必要な、十分な曳糸性が得られるようになると考えられる。すなわち、本発明のＥＰＬを主成分とする極細繊維がフッ素原子を含む場合には、特に優れた紡糸性で極細繊維が得られたことを意味している。 The ultrafine fiber of the present invention is not particularly limited, but preferably contains a compound having a fluorine atom and a carboxyl group. Here, the compound having a fluorine atom and a carboxyl group means a compound having a fluorine atom and a carboxyl group in the structure. The compound is derived, for example, from the solvent used to dissolve EPL used in the fiberization process. Although not bound by any particular theory, the fact that fluorine atoms remain in the ultrafine fibers obtained even after sufficient removal of the solvent during the fiberization process is a compound having EPL, fluorine atoms and carboxyl groups Are forming a complex, and it is presumed that this complex is also retained in the obtained ultrafine fiber. More specifically, in the spinning solution, the amino group of EPL and the carboxyl group of the compound having a fluorine atom and a carboxyl group form a complex by ionic bond, and in the subsequent electrospinning, aggregation is promoted by the force of the electric field. It is estimated that it behaves like a molecular assembly. Moreover, it is thought that sufficient spinnability necessary for obtaining ultrafine fibers mainly composed of EPL can be obtained by forming this complex. That is, when the ultrafine fiber mainly composed of the EPL of the present invention contains a fluorine atom, it means that the ultrafine fiber was obtained with particularly excellent spinnability.
本発明で利用できるフッ素とカルボキシル基を有する化合物としては、トリフルオロ酢酸、３，３，３−トリフルオロプロピオン酸、トリフルオロメタンスルホン酸、ペンタフルオロプロピオン酸等を例示することができ、これらの化合物は、ＥＰＬの紡糸溶液の溶媒として使用することができる。これらのなかでも、トリフルオロ酢酸を使用した場合には、その揮発性が高いためにＥＰＬの凝集性が高まり、かつ、ＥＰＬとトリフルオロ酢酸がコンプレックス構造を形成するためか、特に優れた紡糸性を発現するため、より好ましい。トリフルオロ酢酸とのコンプレックスにより極細繊維中に含まれるフッ素原子の量は、特に限定されないが、電界紡糸過程の安定性や得られる極細繊維の特性を鑑みて、適宜設定することができるが、繊維に対して０．１〜１０重量％の範囲を例示することができる。 Examples of the compound having fluorine and carboxyl groups that can be used in the present invention include trifluoroacetic acid, 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, and the like. Can be used as a solvent for EPL spinning solutions. Among these, when trifluoroacetic acid is used, the cohesiveness of EPL is increased due to its high volatility, and the EPL and trifluoroacetic acid form a complex structure. Is more preferable. The amount of fluorine atoms contained in the ultrafine fiber due to the complex with trifluoroacetic acid is not particularly limited, but can be appropriately set in view of the stability of the electrospinning process and the characteristics of the obtained ultrafine fiber. The range of 0.1 to 10% by weight can be exemplified.
本発明のＥＰＬ極細繊維中にフッ素とカルボキシル基を有する化合物が含有される場合、例えば、赤外吸収スペクトル測定や元素分析によってＣ−Ｆ結合の存在を確認することができ、具体的な方法は後述の実施例に示される。 When a compound having fluorine and a carboxyl group is contained in the EPL ultrafine fiber of the present invention, for example, the presence of a C—F bond can be confirmed by infrared absorption spectrum measurement or elemental analysis. This will be shown in the examples described later.
本発明の極細繊維は、２種類以上の繊維を混繊して使用してもよい。混繊して繊維集合体として使用する場合は、混繊する繊維の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、適宜選択することができるが、繊維集合体中にＥＰＬを主成分として含んでいることがより好適である。得られる繊維集合体中のＥＰＬの構成比率は特に制限されるものではないが、５０重量％以上であることが好ましく、８０重量％以上であることが更に好ましい。混繊する繊維の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、使用する用途を鑑みて、適宜選択できるが、ポリフッ化ビニリデンやナイロン６、ナイロン６，６、ポリウレタン、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリエチレンオキサイド、天然コラーゲン、ポリ乳酸、キトサンなどを例示することができる。 The ultrafine fiber of the present invention may be used by mixing two or more kinds of fibers. When mixed and used as a fiber assembly, the type of fiber to be mixed is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected, but the fiber assembly contains EPL as a main component. Is more preferred. The constituent ratio of EPL in the obtained fiber assembly is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50% by weight or more, and more preferably 80% by weight or more. The type of fiber to be mixed is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected in view of the application to be used. Polyvinylidene fluoride, nylon 6, nylon 6, 6, polyurethane, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, Natural collagen, polylactic acid, chitosan and the like can be exemplified.

The form of the fiber assembly is not particularly limited, but can be any form such as a sheet form, a block form, and a spherical form. Moreover, the fiber assembly may be composed only of the ultrafine fibers of the present invention, or may be combined with other materials.
