Abstract
Description
本発明は、経口投与用吸着剤及びその製造方法に関し、特に、毒性物質の吸着速度を速めた経口投与用の吸着剤及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an adsorbent for oral administration and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to an adsorbent for oral administration having an increased adsorption rate of toxic substances and a method for producing the same.
腎疾患または肝疾患の患者は、血液中に毒性物質が蓄積し、その結果として***や意識障害等の脳症を引き起こす。これらの患者数は年々増加する傾向にある。患者の治療には、毒性物質を体外へ除去する血液透析型の人工腎臓等が使用される。しかしながら、このような人工腎臓は、安全管理上から取り扱いに専門技術者を必要とし、また血液の体外への取り出しに際し、患者の肉体的、精神的、及び経済的負担を要することが問題視されており、必ずしも満足すべきものではない。 Patients with renal or liver disease accumulate toxic substances in their blood, resulting in encephalopathy such as uremia and impaired consciousness. The number of these patients tends to increase year by year. Hemodialysis-type artificial kidneys that remove toxic substances from the body are used to treat patients. However, such an artificial kidney requires a specialized technician for handling from the viewpoint of safety management, and it is regarded as a problem that it requires a physical, mental, and financial burden on the patient when removing blood from the body. It is not always satisfactory.
人工臓器に代わる方法として、経口により摂取し体内で毒性物質を吸着し、体外に排出する経口投与用吸着剤が開発されている(特許文献1、特許文献2等参照)。しかし、これらの吸着剤は、活性炭の吸着性能を利用した吸着剤であるため、除去すべき毒素の吸着容量や毒素の有用物質に対する選択吸着性が十分とはいえない。一般的に、活性炭の疎水性は高く、***の原因物質やその前駆物質に代表されるインドキシル硫酸、DL-β-アミノイソ酪酸、トリプトファン等の低分子量のイオン性有機化合物の吸着に適さないという問題点を内包している。 As an alternative method to artificial organs, an adsorbent for oral administration, which is taken orally, adsorbs toxic substances in the body, and is discharged to the outside of the body, has been developed (see Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). However, since these adsorbents are adsorbents that utilize the adsorption performance of activated carbon, it cannot be said that the adsorption capacity of the toxin to be removed and the selective adsorption property of the toxin to useful substances are not sufficient. Generally, activated carbon has high hydrophobicity and is not suitable for adsorption of low molecular weight ionic organic compounds such as indoxyl sulfate, DL-β-aminoisobutyric acid, and tryptophan represented by the causative substance of uremia and its precursor. It contains the problem of.
そこで、活性炭吸着剤の問題点を改善するべく、原料物質として木質、石油系もしくは石炭系の各種ピッチ類等を使用し球状等の樹脂化合物を形成し、これらを原料とした活性炭からなる抗ネフローゼ症候群剤が報告されている(例えば、特許文献3参照)。前出の活性炭は、石油系炭化水素(ピッチ)等を原料物質とし、比較的粒径を均一にして、炭化、賦活により調製される。また、活性炭自体の粒径を比較的均一化するとともに、当該活性炭における細孔容積等の分布について調整を試みた経口投与用吸着剤が報告されている(特許文献4参照)。このように、薬用活性炭は、比較的粒径を均一にすることに伴い、腸内の流動性の悪さを改善し、同時に細孔を調整することにより当該活性炭の吸着性能の向上を図った。そこで、多くの軽度の慢性腎不全患者に服用されている。 Therefore, in order to improve the problem of the activated carbon adsorbent, various pitches of wood, petroleum or coal are used as the raw material to form a spherical resin compound, and the anti-nephrotic syndrome made of activated carbon using these as raw materials. Syndrome agents have been reported (see, for example, Patent Document 3). The above-mentioned activated carbon is prepared by carbonization and activation using petroleum-based hydrocarbons (pitch) or the like as a raw material and having a relatively uniform particle size. Further, an adsorbent for oral administration has been reported in which the particle size of the activated carbon itself is made relatively uniform and the distribution of the pore volume and the like in the activated carbon is adjusted (see Patent Document 4). As described above, the medicated activated carbon has improved the poor fluidity in the intestine as the particle size is relatively uniform, and at the same time, the adsorption performance of the activated carbon is improved by adjusting the pores. Therefore, it is taken by many patients with mild chronic renal failure.
薬用活性炭には、***の原因物質やその前駆物質に対する迅速かつ効率的な吸着が要求される。しかしながら、従来の薬用活性炭における細孔の調整は良好とはいえず、吸着性能も安定しなかった。そのため、一日当たりの服用量を多くしなければならない。特に、慢性腎不全患者は水分の摂取量を制限されていることから、少量の水分により嚥下することは患者にとって大変な苦痛となっていた。加えて、胃、小腸等の消化管においては、糖、タンパク質等の生理機能に不可欠な化合物及び腸壁より分泌される酵素等の種々物質の混在する環境である。その中において、***等の原因となる毒性物質、特には、窒素を含有する化合物を迅速に吸着し、そのまま便とともに体外に***する薬用の活性炭吸着剤が望まれていた。 Medicinal activated carbon is required to rapidly and efficiently adsorb the causative substance of uremia and its precursor. However, the adjustment of pores in the conventional medicated activated carbon was not good, and the adsorption performance was not stable. Therefore, the daily dose must be increased. In particular, since patients with chronic renal failure have limited water intake, swallowing with a small amount of water has been a great pain for the patients. In addition, in the digestive tract such as the stomach and small intestine, it is an environment in which compounds essential for physiological functions such as sugars and proteins and various substances such as enzymes secreted from the intestinal wall are mixed. Among them, a medicated activated carbon adsorbent that rapidly adsorbs toxic substances that cause uremia and the like, particularly nitrogen-containing compounds, and excretes them as they are with stool has been desired.
発明者は活性炭吸着剤の炭化前の原料、細孔の発達について精査した。その結果、活性炭の原料となる樹脂成分にフェノール樹脂を採用するとともに樹脂の組成を工夫することにより、樹脂炭化物由来の活性炭の細孔を好適に制御して、低分子量の含窒素化合物の迅速な吸着に好適な細孔分布を備えた活性炭を見出すに至った。 The inventor scrutinized the raw material of the activated carbon adsorbent before carbonization and the development of pores. As a result, by adopting a phenol resin as the resin component that is the raw material of the activated carbon and devising the composition of the resin, the pores of the activated carbon derived from the resin carbide can be appropriately controlled, and the low molecular weight nitrogen-containing compound can be rapidly controlled. We have found an activated carbon with a pore distribution suitable for adsorption.
本発明は、前記の点に鑑みなされたもので、フェノール樹脂に由来する活性炭において、フェノール樹脂中の樹脂組成を改良することにより、樹脂炭化物に生じる細孔中のマクロ孔の割合を高め、窒素を含有する低分子化合物を迅速に吸着可能な経口投与用吸着剤とその製造方法を提供する。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points. In activated carbon derived from a phenol resin, by improving the resin composition in the phenol resin, the proportion of macropores in the pores generated in the resin carbide is increased, and nitrogen is used. Provided are an adsorbent for oral administration capable of rapidly adsorbing a low molecular weight compound containing the above, and a method for producing the same.

本発明の経口投与用吸着剤は、出発原料をフェノール樹脂とし、特に、ノボラック樹脂とレゾール樹脂の両方を含有した複合フェノール樹脂を炭化して樹脂炭化物とし、これを賦活することにより生じた活性炭吸着剤である。はじめに、図1の工程図を用い経口投与用吸着剤の出発原料となる複合フェノール樹脂の合成工程から説明する。 The adsorbent for oral administration of the present invention uses a phenol resin as a starting material, and in particular, carbonizes a composite phenol resin containing both a novolak resin and a resole resin to form a resin charcoal, and activates the activated carbon adsorption. It is an agent. First, the process of synthesizing the composite phenol resin, which is the starting material of the adsorbent for oral administration, will be described with reference to the process diagram of FIG.
はじめにフェノール樹脂の原料となるフェノールにホルムアルデヒドが添加、混合され、両分子の架橋形成目的の酸性触媒が添加される。攪拌されながらの80ないし100℃の加熱により脱水縮合反応が進む。この段階でノボラック樹脂分が調製される(「ノボラック樹脂合成工程」)。なお、生成樹脂分は適宜洗浄される。 First, formaldehyde is added and mixed with phenol, which is a raw material for phenol resin, and an acidic catalyst for the purpose of forming crosslinks between both molecules is added. The dehydration condensation reaction proceeds by heating at 80 to 100 ° C. while stirring. At this stage, the novolak resin component is prepared (“novolak resin synthesis step”). The produced resin component is appropriately washed.
次に、ノボラック樹脂合成工程により合成したノボラック樹脂分と、フェノール及びホルムアルデヒドが追加混合される。さらに、新たに投入されたフェノールとホルムアルデヒドの架橋形成目的の塩基性触媒が添加される。これらは攪拌されながらの80ないし100℃の加熱により脱水縮合反応が進み、新たに投入されたフェノールからレゾール樹脂分が合成される。そこで、当該工程にて合成されたレゾール樹脂分とともに、先の工程にて合成されたノボラック樹脂分も含有する複合フェノール樹脂が調製される(「複合フェノール樹脂調製工程」)。なお、生成樹脂分は適宜洗浄される。 Next, the novolak resin component synthesized by the novolak resin synthesis step is additionally mixed with phenol and formaldehyde. Further, a newly introduced basic catalyst for the purpose of forming a crosslink between phenol and formaldehyde is added. The dehydration condensation reaction proceeds by heating these at 80 to 100 ° C. while stirring, and the resol resin component is synthesized from the newly added phenol. Therefore, a composite phenol resin containing the resol resin component synthesized in the relevant step and the novolak resin component synthesized in the previous step is prepared (“composite phenol resin preparation step”). The produced resin component is appropriately washed.
前述の両工程にて使用のフェノールに代えて、水酸基を有する芳香族化合物も用いられる。例えば、クレゾール(o-、m-、p-位)、p-フェニルフェノール、キシレノール(2,5-、3,5-)、レゾルシノール、各種ビスフェノール等が挙げられる。 Instead of the phenol used in both steps described above, an aromatic compound having a hydroxyl group is also used. For example, cresol (o-, m-, p-position), p-phenylphenol, xylenol (2,5-, 3,5-), resorcinol, various bisphenols and the like can be mentioned.
前述の両工程にて使用のホルムアルデヒドに代えて、次のアルデヒド化合物も用いられる。アセトアルデヒド、ベンズアルデヒド、グリオキサール、フルフラール等が挙げられる。 The following aldehyde compounds are also used in place of the formaldehyde used in both steps described above. Examples thereof include acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, glyoxal and furfural.
ノボラック樹脂合成工程に使用した酸性触媒は、無機酸、有機酸である。実施例はシュウ酸である。これに加えて、ギ酸等のカルボン酸、マロン酸等のジカルボン酸、塩酸、硫酸、リン酸等が酸性触媒として挙げられる。 The acidic catalyst used in the novolak resin synthesis step is an inorganic acid or an organic acid. An example is oxalic acid. In addition to this, carboxylic acids such as formic acid, dicarboxylic acids such as malonic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and the like can be mentioned as acidic catalysts.
複合フェノール樹脂調製工程において、レゾール樹脂分の合成に使用される塩基性触媒にはアミン化合物が使用される。アミン化合物はレゾール樹脂分の合成に多用され、安定した反応を得る上で好適である。実施例では、ヘキサメチレンテトラミン(ヘキサミン、1,3,5,7-テトラアザアダマンタン)、トリエチレンテトラミン(N,N’-ジ(2-アミノエチル)エチレンジアミン)が使用される。これらに加えて、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化マグネシウム、炭酸ナトリウム、アンモニア等も塩基性触媒として挙げられる。複合フェノール樹脂調製工程にて添加される塩基性触媒の量は、当該工程中の総仕込量の5ないし15重量%である。添加量は塩基性触媒の種類等に依存する。 In the complex phenol resin preparation step, an amine compound is used as the basic catalyst used for the synthesis of the resole resin component. Amine compounds are often used in the synthesis of resole resin components and are suitable for obtaining stable reactions. In the examples, hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine, 1,3,5,7-tetraazaadamantane) and triethylenetetramine (N, N'-di (2-aminoethyl) ethylenediamine) are used. In addition to these, sodium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, ammonia and the like can also be mentioned as basic catalysts. The amount of the basic catalyst added in the composite phenol resin preparation step is 5 to 15% by weight of the total amount charged in the step. The amount added depends on the type of basic catalyst and the like.
ノボラック樹脂合成工程におけるノボラック樹脂分の合成促進と、未反応物の低減から原料物質量は当量比(モル換算量)により規定される。ノボラック樹脂分の合成時のフェノールの当量(PN)とホルムアルデヒドの当量(FN)との当量比(R1)の関係は、前出の式(ii)より、0.5ないし0.9の範囲である。後記の実施例においても当該範囲であればノボラック樹脂分の合成に都合良い。当量比R1が0.5を下回る場合、フェノールの量が過少であり、同当量比R1が0.9を上回る場合、相対的にフェノールの量が過剰である。 The amount of the raw material is defined by the equivalent ratio (molar equivalent amount) from the promotion of the synthesis of the novolak resin component in the novolak resin synthesis step and the reduction of unreacted substances. The relationship between the equivalent ratio (R 1 ) of the equivalent of phenol ( PN ) and the equivalent of formaldehyde (F N ) during the synthesis of novolak resin is 0.5 to 0.9 from the above formula (ii). Is the range of. Even in the examples described later, if it is within the above range, it is convenient for synthesizing the novolak resin component. When the equivalent ratio R 1 is less than 0.5, the amount of phenol is too small, and when the equivalent ratio R 1 is more than 0.9, the amount of phenol is relatively excessive.
複合フェノール樹脂調製工程におけるレゾール樹脂分の合成促進と、未反応物の低減から原料物質量も当量比(モル換算量)により規定される。レゾール樹脂分の合成時のフェノールの当量(PR)とホルムアルデヒドの当量(FR)との当量比(R2)の関係は、前出の式(iii)より、1.1ないし1.8の範囲、より好ましくは1.1ないし1.6の範囲である。当該範囲に収斂すると、レゾール樹脂分とノボラック樹脂分の量の割合は好ましくなる。当量比R2が1.1を下回る場合、フェノールの量が過少であり、同当量比R2が1.8を上回る場合、相対的にフェノールの量が過剰である。当該当量比R1及びR2の範囲は好適なエマルジョン形成等を加味した範囲であり、後記の実施例の検証に基づく。 The amount of raw material is also defined by the equivalent ratio (molar equivalent) from the promotion of synthesis of the resol resin component in the complex phenol resin preparation step and the reduction of unreacted substances. The relationship between the equivalent ratio ( R 2 ) of the equivalent of phenol ( PR ) and the equivalent of formaldehyde (FR) during the synthesis of the resole resin content is 1.1 to 1.8 from the above formula (iii). , More preferably in the range of 1.1 to 1.6. When it converges within this range, the ratio of the amount of the resole resin content and the amount of the novolak resin content becomes preferable. When the equivalent ratio R 2 is less than 1.1, the amount of phenol is too small, and when the equivalent ratio R 2 is more than 1.8, the amount of phenol is relatively excessive. The range of the corresponding equivalent ratios R 1 and R 2 is a range in which suitable emulsion formation and the like are taken into consideration, and is based on the verification of the examples described later.
複合フェノール樹脂は、炭化及び賦活を経て樹脂炭化物、最終的に経口投与用の活性炭吸着剤となる。それゆえ、活性炭吸着剤は、口腔、食道、胃、十二指腸、小腸、大腸と消化管内を円滑に流動しながら***等の原因物質を吸着して、便とともに肛門から***される。そうすると、抵抗の少ない粒径ないし球形は、各種の消化管内の円滑な流動の便宜から望ましい形状である。この点に鑑み、炭化前の樹脂の段階から粒状物ないし球状物であることが望ましい。 The complex phenolic resin undergoes carbonization and activation to become a resin carbide, and finally an activated carbon adsorbent for oral administration. Therefore, the activated carbon adsorbent adsorbs causative substances such as urinary poison while smoothly flowing in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine and gastrointestinal tract, and is excreted from the anus together with stool. Then, the particle size or sphere with low resistance is a desirable shape for the convenience of smooth flow in various gastrointestinal tracts. In view of this point, it is desirable that the resin is granular or spherical from the stage of the resin before carbonization.
そこで、複合フェノール樹脂調製工程においては乳化剤が添加される。同工程にて調製される複合フェノール樹脂は、乳化剤の作用による分散により粒状物ないし球状物になる。乳化剤として、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、アラビアガム(アラビアゴム)等の水溶性の多糖類が使用される。乳化剤は炭化水素化合物であるため、以降の炭化に際しても余分な残分は生じにくい。乳化剤の添加量は、複合フェノール樹脂調製工程における総仕込量の0.1ないし1重量%である。乳化剤の種類、反応条件により適宜増減される。 Therefore, an emulsifier is added in the composite phenol resin preparation step. The composite phenol resin prepared in the same step becomes granular or spherical due to dispersion by the action of the emulsifier. As the emulsifier, water-soluble polysaccharides such as hydroxyethyl cellulose and gum arabic (gum arabic) are used. Since the emulsifier is a hydrocarbon compound, excess residue is unlikely to be generated during subsequent carbonization. The amount of the emulsifier added is 0.1 to 1% by weight of the total amount charged in the composite phenol resin preparation step. The dose may be adjusted according to the type of emulsifier and reaction conditions.
乳化剤が添加されているため、複合フェノール樹脂調製工程中の加熱と攪拌を通じてエマルジョン化が進み、反応液中に粒状物ないし球状物となった複合フェノール樹脂(複合フェノール樹脂粒子)が生じる。乳化剤の添加によりフェノール等を含む反応液の表面張力は高まり、微小な液滴が生じて球状化は促進すると考えられる。当該複合フェノール樹脂の望ましい大きさは、平均粒径200ないし700μmの粒状物ないし球状物である。当該範囲の粒径は、次述の炭化の焼成に伴う体積減少を見越した大きさである。かつ、出来上がる活性炭吸着剤は経口投与の服用に適する大きさとなる。 Since the emulsifier is added, emulsification proceeds through heating and stirring during the complex phenol resin preparation step, and a complex phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles) in the form of granules or spheres is produced in the reaction solution. It is considered that the addition of the emulsifier increases the surface tension of the reaction solution containing phenol and the like, produces fine droplets, and promotes spheroidization. The desired size of the composite phenol resin is a granular substance or a spherical substance having an average particle size of 200 to 700 μm. The particle size in this range is a size in anticipation of a volume decrease due to the firing of carbonization described below. In addition, the resulting activated carbon adsorbent has a size suitable for oral administration.
一連の工程から調製された複合フェノール樹脂(ノボラック樹脂分及びレゾール樹脂分含有の複合フェノール樹脂粒子)は、適宜の洗浄と乾燥後、図2の工程図に示す工程を経て樹脂炭化物となる。複合フェノール樹脂は、円筒状レトルト電気炉等の焼成炉内に収容され、炉内を窒素、アルゴン、ヘリウム等の不活性雰囲気下とし、300ないし1000℃、好ましくは450ないし700℃において1ないし20時間かけて炭化され、樹脂炭化物となる(「炭化工程」)。 The composite phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles containing novolak resin component and resole resin component) prepared from a series of steps becomes a resin carbide through the steps shown in the process diagram of FIG. 2 after appropriate washing and drying. The composite phenol resin is housed in a firing furnace such as a cylindrical retort electric furnace, and the inside of the furnace is placed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, argon, and helium at 300 to 1000 ° C, preferably 450 to 700 ° C. It is carbonized over time to become a resin carbide (“carbonation process”).
炭化工程の後、樹脂炭化物は、ロータリー式外熱炉等の加熱炉等に収容され、750ないし1000℃、好ましくは800ないし1000℃、さらには850ないし950℃において水蒸気賦活される(「賦活工程」)。賦活時間は生産規模、設備等によるものの、0.5ないし50時間である。あるいは、二酸化炭素等のガス賦活も用いられる。賦活後の活性炭吸着剤は、希塩酸によって洗浄される。希塩酸洗浄後の活性炭吸着剤は、例えば、JIS K 1474(2014)に準拠したpHの測定により、pH5ないし7になるまで水洗される。 After the carbonization step, the resin carbide is housed in a heating furnace such as a rotary external heating furnace and is steam activated at 750 to 1000 ° C., preferably 800 to 1000 ° C., and further at 850 to 950 ° C. (“Activation step”). "). The activation time is 0.5 to 50 hours, although it depends on the production scale and equipment. Alternatively, gas activation such as carbon dioxide is also used. The activated carbon adsorbent after activation is washed with dilute hydrochloric acid. The activated carbon adsorbent after washing with dilute hydrochloric acid is washed with water until the pH reaches 5 to 7, for example, by measuring the pH according to JIS K 1474 (2014).
希塩酸の洗浄後、必要により活性炭吸着剤は、酸素及び窒素の混合気体中において加熱処理、水洗浄され、灰分等の不純物が取り除かれる。加熱処理により残留する塩酸分等は取り除かれる。そして、各処理を経ることにより活性炭吸着剤の表面酸化物量は調整される。酸洗浄後、賦活済みの樹脂炭化物に対する加熱処理を通じて、活性炭吸着剤の表面酸化物量は増加する。当該処理時の酸素濃度は0.1ないし21体積%である。また、加熱温度は150ないし1000℃、好ましくは400ないし800℃であり、15分ないし2時間である。 After washing with dilute hydrochloric acid, if necessary, the activated carbon adsorbent is heat-treated and washed with water in a mixed gas of oxygen and nitrogen to remove impurities such as ash. The residual hydrochloric acid and the like are removed by the heat treatment. Then, the amount of surface oxide of the activated carbon adsorbent is adjusted by going through each treatment. After pickling, the amount of surface oxide of the activated carbon adsorbent increases through heat treatment of the activated resin carbide. The oxygen concentration during the treatment is 0.1 to 21% by volume. The heating temperature is 150 to 1000 ° C, preferably 400 to 800 ° C, and is 15 minutes to 2 hours.
賦活処理後、または賦活処理に続く加熱処理後の樹脂炭化物(活性炭吸着剤)は、篩別により平均粒子径150ないし500μmの粒状物ないし球状物の活性炭に選別されるのがよい。粒子径の調整及び分別により、活性炭吸着剤の吸着速度の一定化と吸着能力の安定化が図られる。粒子径の範囲特に限定されるものではないが、前記の範囲とすると、患者(服用者)の嚥下を円滑にするとともに活性炭吸着材の表面積を確保することができる。また、粒子径が揃えられると、消化管内での吸着性能は安定することができる。しかも、粒子の硬さを維持して経口投与後(服用後)の消化管内でさらに粉化することも抑制される。ゆえに、経口投与用吸着剤の活性炭の形状は好ましくは球状物である。ただし、製造に起因する真球度のばらつき等も許容されるため、粒状物も含められる。 The resin carbide (activated carbon adsorbent) after the activation treatment or after the heat treatment following the activation treatment is preferably sorted into granular or spherical activated carbon having an average particle diameter of 150 to 500 μm by sieving. By adjusting and separating the particle size, the adsorption rate of the activated carbon adsorbent can be stabilized and the adsorption capacity can be stabilized. The range of the particle size is not particularly limited, but if it is within the above range, the patient (taker) can swallow smoothly and the surface area of the activated carbon adsorbent can be secured. In addition, if the particle sizes are the same, the adsorption performance in the digestive tract can be stabilized. Moreover, the hardness of the particles is maintained, and further powdering in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration (after administration) is suppressed. Therefore, the shape of the activated carbon of the adsorbent for oral administration is preferably spherical. However, since variations in sphericity due to manufacturing are allowed, granules are also included.
既述のとおり、ノボラック樹脂合成工程及び複合フェノール樹脂調製工程を経て調製された複合フェノール樹脂は、ノボラック樹脂分とレゾール樹脂分の両方の異なる形質のフェノール樹脂を含有している。フェノール樹脂の内、ノボラック樹脂は熱可塑性樹脂であり、レゾール樹脂は熱硬化性樹脂である。従って、炭化工程の加熱温度に複合フェノール樹脂粒子が曝露された際、当該複合フェノール樹脂粒子中のノボラック樹脂分とレゾール樹脂分では耐熱性、溶融温度、揮発量等が互いに相違する。そうすると、焼成に伴う炭化は一様となるよりも、むしろ複合フェノール樹脂粒子の炭化は不均質に進行すると考えられる。炭化時の加熱焼成により複合フェノール樹脂粒子中から樹脂成分は揮発する。この揮発を通じて樹脂炭化物に割れ目、亀裂等が生じると予想される。このため、複合フェノール樹脂の樹脂炭化物由来の活性炭吸着剤には相対的にマクロ孔(およそ50nm以上)が発達しやすくなると考えられる。 As described above, the composite phenol resin prepared through the novolak resin synthesis step and the composite phenol resin preparation step contains phenol resins having different traits of both the novolak resin content and the resole resin content. Of the phenolic resins, the novolak resin is a thermoplastic resin and the resol resin is a thermosetting resin. Therefore, when the composite phenol resin particles are exposed to the heating temperature of the carbonization step, the heat resistance, melting temperature, volatile amount, etc. of the novolak resin content and the resole resin content in the composite phenol resin particles are different from each other. Then, it is considered that the carbonization of the composite phenol resin particles proceeds inhomogeneously rather than being uniform in the carbonization associated with the firing. The resin component volatilizes from the composite phenol resin particles by heating and firing during carbonization. It is expected that cracks, cracks, etc. will occur in the resin carbide through this volatilization. Therefore, it is considered that macropores (about 50 nm or more) are relatively likely to develop in the activated carbon adsorbent derived from the resin carbide of the composite phenol resin.
そこで、複合フェノール樹脂(複合フェノール樹脂粒子)中に占めるノボラック樹脂分(前者)とレゾール樹脂分(後者)の割合は、40(前者):60(後者)ないし60(前者):40(後者)の重量比の範囲が望ましく、さらには、概ね同重量ずつの重量比がより好ましい。一方の樹脂成分の割合が過少となると、樹脂炭化物由来の活性炭には相対的にマクロ孔の発達状況が悪くなり、所望の細孔設計は難しくなる。また、形状維持等も難しくなる。 Therefore, the ratio of the novolak resin content (the former) and the resole resin content (the latter) to the composite phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles) is 40 (the former): 60 (the latter) to 60 (the former): 40 (the latter). The range of the weight ratio of is desirable, and more preferably, the weight ratio of about the same weight is more preferable. If the proportion of one of the resin components is too small, the development of macropores becomes relatively poor in the activated carbon derived from the resin carbide, and the desired pore design becomes difficult. In addition, it becomes difficult to maintain the shape.
複合フェノール樹脂(複合フェノール樹脂粒子)から炭化を経て樹脂炭化物となり、さらに賦活を経て活性炭吸着剤に至る過程において、自明ながら揮発分の重量は減少する。そのため、揮発分の量が少ないほど活性炭吸着剤中の炭素量は増加し、より緻密な活性炭を得ることができる。そこで、複合フェノール樹脂(複合フェノール樹脂粒子)の揮発分は、50%以下に抑制される。 In the process from the composite phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles) to the resin carbide through carbonization and further to the activated carbon adsorbent through activation, the weight of the volatile matter is obviously reduced. Therefore, as the amount of volatile matter decreases, the amount of carbon in the activated carbon adsorbent increases, and more dense activated carbon can be obtained. Therefore, the volatile content of the composite phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles) is suppressed to 50% or less.
複合フェノール樹脂(複合フェノール樹脂粒子)は分子中に芳香環構造を有しているため、炭化率は高まる。さらに賦活により表面積の大きな活性炭吸着剤が生じる。賦活後の活性炭吸着剤は、従来の木質やヤシ殻、石油ピッチ等の活性炭と比較しても、細孔径は小さく充填密度は高い。そのため、比較的小さい分子量(分子量が数十ないし数百の範囲)のイオン性有機化合物の吸着に適する。また、複合フェノール樹脂は従来の活性炭原料の木質等と比較して窒素、リン、ナトリウム、マグネシウム等の灰分が少なく単位質量当たりの炭素の比率は高い。このため、不純物の少ない活性炭吸着剤を得ることができる。 Since the composite phenol resin (composite phenol resin particles) has an aromatic ring structure in the molecule, the carbonization rate is increased. Further, activation produces an activated carbon adsorbent having a large surface area. The activated carbon adsorbent after activation has a smaller pore diameter and a higher packing density than conventional activated carbon such as wood, coconut shell, and petroleum pitch. Therefore, it is suitable for adsorption of ionic organic compounds having a relatively small molecular weight (molecular weight in the range of tens to hundreds). Further, the composite phenol resin has a lower ash content such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sodium and magnesium as compared with the wood of the conventional activated carbon raw material, and the ratio of carbon per unit mass is high. Therefore, an activated carbon adsorbent with few impurities can be obtained.
前述の製造方法から得られた活性炭吸着剤には、後記する実施例に掲げる肝機能障害や腎機能障害の原因物質を極力速やかに吸着すること、また比較的少ない服用量で十分な吸着性能を発揮することが求められる。具備すべき性質の調和範囲を見いだすべく、活性炭吸着剤は、〔1〕水銀細孔容積値、〔2〕容積比、〔3〕BET比表面積の指標で規定される。そして、後記する実施例の傾向等から明らかなとおり、各指標の好適な範囲値が導出される。なお、以下に記載する前記活性炭の物性等の測定方法及び諸条件等は、実施例において詳述する。 The activated carbon adsorbent obtained from the above-mentioned production method adsorbs the causative substances of hepatic dysfunction and renal dysfunction listed in the examples below as quickly as possible, and has sufficient adsorption performance with a relatively small dose. It is required to demonstrate. The activated carbon adsorbent is defined by an index of [1] mercury pore volume value, [2] volume ratio, and [3] BET specific surface area in order to find a harmonized range of properties to be provided. Then, as is clear from the tendency of the examples described later, suitable range values of each index are derived. The method for measuring the physical properties of the activated carbon and various conditions described below will be described in detail in Examples.
そして、活性炭吸着剤は粒状物ないし球状物であり、その平均粒子径は特に規定されないが、150ないし500μmであることが望ましい。粒子自体の大きさが前記の範囲であると、マクロ孔等の細孔が適宜に発達し、選択吸着性の面から好ましい。また、表面積が適当となるため、吸着速度や強度の面からも好ましい。そこで、平均粒径は前記の範囲が好適となり、好ましくは150ないし500μm、より好ましくは300ないし400μmである。 The activated carbon adsorbent is a granular substance or a spherical substance, and the average particle diameter thereof is not particularly specified, but it is preferably 150 to 500 μm. When the size of the particles themselves is within the above range, pores such as macropores are appropriately developed, which is preferable from the viewpoint of selective adsorption. Further, since the surface area is appropriate, it is preferable from the viewpoint of adsorption rate and strength. Therefore, the average particle size is preferably in the above range, preferably 150 to 500 μm, and more preferably 300 to 400 μm.
本明細書及び実施例における活性炭吸着剤及び複合フェノール樹脂粒子の平均粒径はレーザー回折・散乱法によって求めた粒度分布における積算値50%における粒径とした。 The average particle size of the activated carbon adsorbent and the composite phenol form resin particles in the present specification and Examples is the particle size at an integrated value of 50% in the particle size distribution obtained by the laser diffraction / scattering method.
〔1〕水銀細孔容積(VM)は活性炭のメソ孔ないしマクロ孔の大きな細孔を評価する指標である。そこで、細孔直径7.5ないし15000nmの範囲の水銀細孔容積は0.2ないし0.5mL/gである。すなわち、マクロ孔側を発達させることにより、吸着対象物質は速く活性炭吸着剤の内部に取り込まれる。水銀細孔容積が0.2mL/gを下回る場合、マクロ孔は発達不足となる。水銀細孔容積0.5mL/gはフェノール樹脂由来の活性炭の上限と考えられる。従って、同値を上限とし、前記の水銀細孔容積の値の範囲とした。 [1] Mercury pore volume ( VM ) is an index for evaluating large pores of meso-pores or macropores of activated carbon. Therefore, the mercury pore volume in the pore diameter range of 7.5 to 15,000 nm is 0.2 to 0.5 mL / g. That is, by developing the macropore side, the substance to be adsorbed is quickly taken into the inside of the activated carbon adsorbent. If the mercury pore volume is less than 0.2 mL / g, the macropores are underdeveloped. The mercury pore volume of 0.5 mL / g is considered to be the upper limit of activated carbon derived from phenol resin. Therefore, the same value was set as the upper limit, and the range of the value of the mercury pore volume was set.
〔2〕容積比(RV)は、前掲の式(i)にて示されるとおり0.2以上である。同式(i)の容積比(RV)は、細孔直径7.5ないし15000nmの範囲(マクロ孔)の水銀細孔容積(VM)を、細孔直径0.7ないし2.0nmの範囲(ミクロ孔)の窒素細孔容積(VH)により除した商である。すなわち、ミクロ孔に比してマクロ孔の割合が高いことを示す指標である。活性炭のような吸着剤の場合、ミクロ孔、メソ孔、マクロ孔のいずれの細孔も存在している。その中で、いずれの範囲の細孔をより多く発達させるかにより、活性炭吸着剤の吸着対象、性能は変化する。本発明において所望される活性炭吸着剤は、***の原因物質やその前駆物質に代表されるインドキシル硫酸、アミノイソ酪酸、トリプトファン等の窒素を含有する低分子量のイオン性有機化合物の吸着を想定する。そして、本発明の活性炭吸着剤は、前記の吸着対象の分子を従前の活性炭吸着剤よりも速く吸着することである。 [2] The volume ratio ( RV ) is 0.2 or more as shown by the above-mentioned formula (i). The volume ratio ( RV ) of the same formula (i) is the mercury pore volume (VM) in the range of the pore diameter of 7.5 to 15,000 nm ( macropore ), and the pore diameter of 0.7 to 2.0 nm. It is a quotient divided by the nitrogen pore volume ( VH ) of the range (micropores). That is, it is an index showing that the ratio of macropores is higher than that of micropores. In the case of an adsorbent such as activated carbon, any of micropores, mesopores, and macropores is present. Among them, the adsorption target and performance of the activated carbon adsorbent change depending on which range of pores are developed more. The activated carbon adsorbent desired in the present invention assumes adsorption of low molecular weight ionic organic compounds containing nitrogen such as indoxyl sulfate, aminoisobutyric acid, and tryptophan represented by the causative substance of uremia and its precursor. .. The activated carbon adsorbent of the present invention is to adsorb the molecule to be adsorbed faster than the conventional activated carbon adsorbent.
マクロ孔側の割合が相対的に高められることにより、吸着対象は活性炭吸着剤内部へ容易に侵入できる。そして、吸着対象はマクロ孔に接続したミクロ孔に補足され、吸着は速く進む。通常、摂食から***までのうち、食物が消化により分解されて小腸内を流動する時間はおよそ6ないし10時間と考えられる。つまり、小腸内を流動する間に経口投与用吸着剤(活性炭吸着剤)が目的の吸着対象である窒素を含有する低分子を吸着する必要がある。そこで、腸管内における効率良い吸着を勘案すると、短時間の吸着が望ましいといえる。このことから、活性炭吸着剤のマクロ孔側の細孔を多く発達させることには意味がある。後記の実施例に開示するように、容積比(RV)の数値が高まるほど、吸着速度は速まる。そこで、より詳細に見ると、容積比(RV)は0.2以上であれば優位差となり、さらには0.27以上が好ましい。上限については、活性炭の構造上おそらく0.6付近と考えられる。 Since the ratio on the macropore side is relatively increased, the adsorption target can easily penetrate into the activated carbon adsorbent. Then, the adsorption target is captured by the micropores connected to the macropores, and the adsorption proceeds quickly. Usually, from feeding to excretion, it is considered that the time for food to be decomposed by digestion and flow in the small intestine is about 6 to 10 hours. That is, it is necessary for the adsorbent for oral administration (activated carbon adsorbent) to adsorb a small molecule containing nitrogen, which is the target adsorption target, while flowing in the small intestine. Therefore, considering efficient adsorption in the intestinal tract, it can be said that short-time adsorption is desirable. From this, it is meaningful to develop many pores on the macropore side of the activated carbon adsorbent. As disclosed in the examples below, the higher the value of the volume ratio ( RV ), the faster the adsorption rate. Therefore, when viewed in more detail, if the volume ratio ( RV ) is 0.2 or more, there is a dominant difference, and more preferably 0.27 or more. The upper limit is probably around 0.6 due to the structure of activated carbon.
〔3〕BET比表面積の800m2/g以上とは、吸着性能の点から活性炭吸着剤として必要とされる下限であり、好ましくは1600m2/g以上、より好ましくは1800m2/g以上に規定される。700m2/gよりも小さくなると、毒性物質の吸着性能が低下すると考えられるためである。BET比表面積が3000m2/gを超える場合、充填密度が悪化することに加えて細孔容積が大きくなることから活性炭吸着剤自体の強度が悪化し易くなる。そこで、3000m2/gが上限と考えられる。 [3] The BET specific surface area of 800 m 2 / g or more is the lower limit required as an activated carbon adsorbent from the viewpoint of adsorption performance, and is preferably 1600 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 1800 m 2 / g or more. Will be done. This is because it is considered that the adsorption performance of toxic substances deteriorates when it becomes smaller than 700 m 2 / g. When the BET specific surface area exceeds 3000 m 2 / g, the strength of the activated carbon adsorbent itself tends to deteriorate because the packing density deteriorates and the pore volume increases. Therefore, 3000 m 2 / g is considered to be the upper limit.
これらの指標に加えて、〔4〕平均細孔直径も加えられる。そこで、平均細孔直径は1.7ないし2.0nmの範囲である。活性炭吸着剤の平均細孔直径が当該範囲内に調整されることにより、分子量数十ないし数百の比較的低分子のイオン性有機化合物の吸着は良好となる。同時に、活性炭吸着剤は分子量数千ないし数万の酵素、多糖類等の生体に必要な高分子化合物の吸着を抑制できる。活性炭吸着剤の平均細孔直径が2.0nmを越える場合、酵素、多糖類等の高分子を吸着する細孔が多く存在してしまうため好ましくない。また、活性炭の平均細孔直径が1.7nm未満であると、細孔容積自体が減少し、吸着力を低下させるおそれがある。 In addition to these indicators, [4] average pore diameter is also added. Therefore, the average pore diameter is in the range of 1.7 to 2.0 nm. By adjusting the average pore diameter of the activated carbon adsorbent within the range, the adsorption of relatively low molecular weight ionic organic compounds having a molecular weight of several tens to several hundreds becomes good. At the same time, the activated carbon adsorbent can suppress the adsorption of high molecular weight compounds necessary for living organisms such as enzymes and polysaccharides having a molecular weight of several thousand to tens of thousands. When the average pore diameter of the activated carbon adsorbent exceeds 2.0 nm, there are many pores that adsorb polymers such as enzymes and polysaccharides, which is not preferable. Further, if the average pore diameter of the activated carbon is less than 1.7 nm, the pore volume itself may decrease and the adsorptive power may decrease.
〔5〕充填密度については、0.3ないし0.6g/mLに規定される。充填密度が0.3g/mL未満の場合、服用量が増加し経口投与時に嚥下し難くなる。充填密度が0.6g/mLを超える場合、フェノール樹脂由来の活性炭としての選択吸着性が伴わなくなる。このようなことから、充填密度は前記の範囲が好適となり、好ましくは0.39ないし0.45g/mLである。 [5] The packing density is specified as 0.3 to 0.6 g / mL. If the filling density is less than 0.3 g / mL, the dose will increase and it will be difficult to swallow during oral administration. When the packing density exceeds 0.6 g / mL, the selective adsorption property as the activated carbon derived from the phenol resin is not accompanied. Therefore, the packing density is preferably in the above range, preferably 0.39 to 0.45 g / mL.
前述の物性を具備する活性炭吸着剤は、経口投与を目的とした薬剤であって、腎疾患または肝疾患の治療剤または予防剤となる。活性炭吸着剤の表面に発達した細孔内に疾患、慢性症状の原因物質が吸着、保持され、体外へ排出されることにより、症状悪化は要請され、病態改善につながる。さらに、先天的あるいは後天的に代謝異常またはそのおそれのある場合、予め活性炭吸着剤を内服することにより、疾患、慢性症状の原因物質の体内濃度は下げられる。そこで、症状悪化を防ぐ予防としての服用も考えられる。 The activated carbon adsorbent having the above-mentioned physical characteristics is a drug intended for oral administration, and is a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for renal disease or liver disease. By adsorbing and retaining the causative substances of diseases and chronic symptoms in the pores developed on the surface of the activated carbon adsorbent and discharging them to the outside of the body, deterioration of the symptoms is requested, leading to improvement of the pathological condition. Furthermore, if there is a congenital or acquired metabolic disorder or a possibility of such abnormality, the concentration of the causative substance of the disease or chronic symptom in the body can be lowered by taking the activated carbon adsorbent in advance. Therefore, it may be taken as a preventive measure to prevent worsening of symptoms.
腎疾患として、例えば、慢性腎不全、急性腎不全、慢性腎盂腎炎、急性腎盂腎炎、慢性腎炎、急性腎炎症候群、急性進行型腎炎症候群、慢性腎炎症候群、ネフローゼ症候群、腎硬化症、間質性腎炎、細尿管症、リポイドネフローゼ、糖尿病性腎症、腎血管性高血圧、高血圧症候群、あるいは前記の原疾患に伴う続発性腎疾患、さらに、透析前の軽度腎不全を挙げることができる。肝疾患として、例えば、劇症肝炎、慢性肝炎、ウイルス性肝炎、アルコール性肝炎、肝線維症、肝硬変、肝癌、自己免疫性肝炎、薬剤アレルギー性肝障害、原発性胆汁性肝硬変、振戦(しんせん)、脳症、代謝異常、機能異常を挙げることができる。 Examples of renal diseases include chronic renal failure, acute renal failure, chronic pyelonephritis, acute pyelonephritis, chronic nephritis, acute nephritic syndrome, acute advanced nephritic syndrome, chronic nephritis syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, and interstitial nephritis. , Pyelonephritis, lipoid nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephritis, renovascular hypertension, hypertension syndrome, or secondary renal disease associated with the primary disease, as well as mild renal failure before dialysis. Liver diseases include, for example, fulminant hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, autoimmune hepatitis, drug allergic liver disorder, primary biliary cirrhosis, and tremor. ), Encephalopathy, metabolic disorders, and dysfunction.
活性炭吸着剤を経口投与用吸着剤として使用する際の投与量は、年令、性別、体格または病状等に影響されるため一律の規定は難しい。しかし、一般にヒトを対象とする場合、活性炭吸着剤の重量換算で1日当り1~20g、2~4回の服用が想定される。活性炭吸着剤の経口投与用吸着剤は、散剤、顆粒剤、錠剤、糖衣錠、カプセル剤、懸濁剤、スティック剤、分包包装体、または乳剤等による形態、剤型で投与される。 When the activated carbon adsorbent is used as an adsorbent for oral administration, it is difficult to uniformly specify the dose because it is affected by age, gender, physique, medical condition, and the like. However, in general, when targeting humans, it is assumed that the activated carbon adsorbent is taken 1 to 20 g per day in terms of weight, 2 to 4 times. The adsorbent for oral administration of the activated carbon adsorbent is administered in the form or dosage form of powder, granule, tablet, sugar-coated tablet, capsule, suspension, stick, packaged package, emulsion or the like.

[Volume ratio ( RV )]
The volume ratio ( RV ) was the quotient obtained by dividing the mercury pore volume (VM) by the nitrogen pore volume ( VH ) as in the above formula (i).
[物性値に関する考察]
実施例1ないし5の複合フェノール樹脂の結果より、ノボラック樹脂分の合成段階において、フェノールの当量(PN)とホルムアルデヒドの当量(FN)との当量比(R1)は0.5ないし0.9範囲からの合成を確認した。実施例の複合フェノール樹脂の揮発分は、比較例のフェノール樹脂(レゾール樹脂分単独)よりも少ない。しかも、平均粒子径も総じて大きい傾向にある。実施例5については、投入量の増加と反応容器の大きさよりエマルジョン粒子の形成が左右されたと考える。
[Consideration on physical property values]
From the results of the composite phenol resins of Examples 1 to 5, the equivalent ratio (R 1 ) between the equivalent of phenol ( PN ) and the equivalent of formaldehyde (F N ) was 0.5 to 0 at the stage of synthesizing the novolak resin component. The synthesis from the 9.9 range was confirmed. The volatile content of the composite phenol resin of the examples is smaller than that of the phenol resin of the comparative example (resole resin content alone). Moreover, the average particle size tends to be large as a whole. In Example 5, it is considered that the formation of emulsion particles was influenced by the increase in the input amount and the size of the reaction vessel.
実施例1ないし5の活性炭吸着剤によると、水銀細孔容積(VM)は比較例よりも有意に大きく、同時に、容積比(RV)も大きい。すなわち、相対的にマクロ孔は多く発達したことを確認した。なお、ミクロ孔自体も窒素細孔容積(VH)の測定から、比較例と同等の数値である。それゆえ、ミクロ孔が減少していないことも確認した。 According to the activated carbon adsorbents of Examples 1 to 5, the mercury pore volume ( VM ) is significantly larger than that of the comparative example, and at the same time, the volume ratio ( RV ) is also large. That is, it was confirmed that relatively many macropores were developed. It should be noted that the micropores themselves have the same numerical values as the comparative examples from the measurement of the nitrogen pore volume ( VH ). Therefore, it was also confirmed that the micropores did not decrease.
実施例と比較例は何れもフェノール樹脂に起因する活性炭吸着剤であり、炭化焼成、賦活の条件は同一である。これにもかかわらず、実施例のマクロ孔の発達は顕著である。実施例は熱硬化性のレゾール樹脂分に加えて熱可塑性のノボラック樹脂分も含有する性状である。実施例の活性炭吸着剤のマクロ孔がより多く発達した原因として、複合フェノール樹脂に対する炭化焼成時において、樹脂成分の熱膨張(膨張率の相違)、揮発条件の相違等が複合的に重なり合い、活性炭表面の細孔に留まらず、活性炭の粒子内部に侵入する深さの細孔が生じたと推察する。 Both Examples and Comparative Examples are activated carbon adsorbents derived from phenol resin, and the conditions for carbonization firing and activation are the same. Nevertheless, the development of macropores in the examples is remarkable. Examples are properties that contain a thermoplastic novolak resin component in addition to a thermosetting resole resin component. The cause of the development of more macropores in the activated carbon adsorbent of the example is that the thermal expansion (difference in expansion rate) of the resin component, the difference in volatile conditions, etc., overlap in a complex manner during carbonization and firing of the composite phenol resin, and the activated carbon is activated carbon. It is presumed that not only the pores on the surface but also the pores with a depth that penetrates into the particles of activated carbon were generated.
また、実施例1ないし5の複合フェノール樹脂は、ノボラック・レゾール重量比を前者50:後者50の同重量を目標とした合成例である。このように双方の重量割合の揃った実施例ではマクロ孔の発達に有利に作用した。そこで、合成時の重量変動等を勘案して40:60ないし60:40の重量比の範囲を妥当と考える。 Further, the composite phenolic resins of Examples 1 to 5 are synthetic examples in which the novolak-resole weight ratio is the same as the former 50: the latter 50. In this way, in the examples in which the weight ratios of both were the same, it had an advantageous effect on the development of macropores. Therefore, the range of the weight ratio of 40:60 to 60:40 is considered to be appropriate in consideration of the weight fluctuation at the time of synthesis.
[吸着性能評価]
前述のとおり、実施例の複合フェノール樹脂の炭化、賦活の工程を経て調製した活性炭吸着剤はマクロ孔の相体割合が大きい。この点を踏まえ、発明者は、***等の原因となり得る窒素を含有する化合物に対する吸着性能の良否を検討した。そこで、含窒素低分子化合物から「インドール、インドール酢酸、インドキシル硫酸、及びトリプトファン」の4種類の物質を選択し、実施例1ないし5と、比較例1及び2の活性炭吸着剤について、当該4種の分子の吸着率(%)を経時的(1,2,3,24時間経過時点)に測定した。これと併せて、24時間経過時点の吸着率の半分量の吸着率となる経過時間も求めた。吸着率の結果は表3ないし表6である。
[Evaluation of adsorption performance]
As described above, the activated carbon adsorbent prepared through the steps of carbonization and activation of the composite phenol resin of the example has a large phase ratio of macropores. Based on this point, the inventor examined the quality of adsorption performance for nitrogen-containing compounds that can cause uremia and the like. Therefore, four kinds of substances "indole, indole acetic acid, indoxyl sulfate, and tryptophan" were selected from the nitrogen-containing low molecular weight compounds, and the activated carbon adsorbents of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were referred to as the 4th. The adsorption rate (%) of the seed molecule was measured over time (after 1, 2, 3, 24 hours). At the same time, the elapsed time, which is half the adsorption rate at the time of 24 hours, was also determined. The results of the adsorption rate are shown in Tables 3 to 6.
インドール、インドール酢酸、インドキシル硫酸、及びトリプトファンの4種類の吸収率については、pH7.4のリン酸緩衝液に前記の物質をそれぞれ溶解して10mg/dLの濃度の標準溶液を調製した。各物質の標準溶液を溶出試験用ベッセルに500mLずつ注ぎ37℃に調温した。そして、各実施例及び比較例の活性炭吸着剤を0.1gずつ投入して、攪拌しながら経時的に分取した。分取試料の279nmの吸光度を測定して、標準溶液の吸光度の差から吸着率(%)を算出した。 For the absorption rates of the four types of indole, indole acetic acid, indoxyl sulfate, and tryptophan, the above substances were dissolved in a phosphate buffer solution having a pH of 7.4 to prepare a standard solution having a concentration of 10 mg / dL. A standard solution of each substance was poured into a vessel for elution test by 500 mL each, and the temperature was adjusted to 37 ° C. Then, 0.1 g of the activated carbon adsorbents of each Example and Comparative Example were added, and the mixture was separated over time while stirring. The absorbance at 279 nm of the sample was measured, and the adsorption rate (%) was calculated from the difference in the absorbance of the standard solution.
[吸着性能の結果・考察]
実施例1ないし5の活性炭吸着剤は、吸着性能評価に供した4種類の含窒素化合物の何れについて、どの時点においても、比較例1及び2よりも高い吸着性能を発揮した。特に、初期段階において迅速に吸着性能を発現した。吸着速度(時間)の指標からも明らかである。この結果より、実際の投与後の消化管内においても迅速な吸着が進み、体外への***が期待できる。そこで、活性炭吸着剤は腎機能、肝機能障害等の治療、予防に有効な経口投与用吸着剤となり得る。
[Results / discussion of adsorption performance]
The activated carbon adsorbents of Examples 1 to 5 exhibited higher adsorption performance than Comparative Examples 1 and 2 at any time point for any of the four nitrogen-containing compounds used for the adsorption performance evaluation. In particular, the adsorption performance was rapidly developed in the initial stage. It is also clear from the index of adsorption rate (time). From this result, rapid adsorption proceeds even in the gastrointestinal tract after the actual administration, and excretion to the outside of the body can be expected. Therefore, the activated carbon adsorbent can be an effective oral adsorbent for the treatment and prevention of renal function, liver dysfunction and the like.
本発明の経口投与用吸着剤は、経口投与により消化器官に達し、***、腎機能、肝機能障害等の原因となる窒素を含有する化合物を迅速に吸着できることから、治療剤または予防剤として有望である。また本発明の経口投与用吸着剤の製造方法は、活性炭吸着剤におけるマクロ孔を効率良く発達できることから、吸収速度の高い活性炭を得ることができる。
The adsorbent for oral administration of the present invention reaches the digestive organs by oral administration and can rapidly adsorb nitrogen-containing compounds that cause uremia, renal function, hepatic dysfunction, etc., and thus can be used as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent. Promising. Further, in the method for producing an adsorbent for oral administration of the present invention, since macropores in the activated carbon adsorbent can be efficiently developed, activated carbon having a high absorption rate can be obtained.
