Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、膵外分泌機能診断剤として有用な新規化合物およびその用途に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
膵外分泌機能検査は慢性膵炎、急性膵炎、膵臓癌等の膵臓疾患の診断に有用な検査法である。また、病態の把握や投薬管理、疾患の予後の評価にも有用な検査法である(総説 Arvanitakis and Cooke. Gastroenterology 74:932 (1978)、Niederau and Grendell. Gastroenterology 88:1973 (1985)、Goldberg. Bull. Mol. Biol. Med. 15:1 (1990)、Lankisch. Int. J. Pancreatology 14:9 (1993)、Bank and Chow Gastroenterologist 2:224 (1994)、Steer et al. New Eng. J. Med. 332:1482 (1995))。
【0003】
膵外分泌機能検査の標準検査法とされているのは、ゾンデを口から十二指腸まで挿入し十二指腸液を採取する検査法で、現在ではセクレチンを静脈内投与することにより膵液の分泌を誘起してから採取するセクレチン試験が一般的である。この方法は直接膵液の量や成分を分析することから正確度が高い。しかしながら、被験者の負担が非常に大きいため、繰返し試験やスクリーニング試験として用いることのできる検査法ではない。また、験者にも技術的熟練が要求されるため、一部の医療機関でしか実施できない検査法である。さらに、X線透視下でゾンデの位置を確認しながら十二指腸液を採取するため、X線被曝の問題もある。
【0004】
このため、繰返し試験やスクリーニング試験には、ゾンデの挿入を必要としない簡易法が用いられている。その一つが、膵臓から分泌されるコレステロールエステルハイドロラーゼ、エステラーゼの合成基質 FDL (Fluorescein diraulate )を経口投与した後10時間蓄尿し、分解産物であるFluoresceinの尿中***率を測定するPancreolauryl test(PLT)である(US Patent No.3917812、Barry et al. Lancet (1982) Oct. 2 p.742、Scharpe and Iliano Clin. Chem. 33:5 (1987))。
【0005】
しかしながらこの方法も、検査に長時間を要するため、通院患者に頻繁に実施することはできないし、健康診断等で実施するには適当でない。
かかる状況下、被験者への負担が小さく、かつ結果が短時間で得られる簡易膵外分泌機能検査法の開発が望まれるところである。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明は、被験者への負担が小さく、かつ結果が短時間で得られる簡易膵外分泌機能検査を可能にする膵外分泌機能診断剤を提供することを目的とする。
また、本発明は、膵外分泌機能検査に利用できる新規な化合物を提供することも目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、13C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物を慢性膵炎ラットに経口投与し、投与後の呼気CO2中の13C濃度を測定することにより、膵外分泌機能検査を行うことができることを見出し、本発明を完成するに到った。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物またはその塩を提供する。本発明の化合物またはその塩は、フルオレセインの3'位と6'位の二つの水酸基の両方またはどちらか一方に13Cまたは14Cで標識された酸がエステル結合した化合物またはその塩であるとよく、13Cまたは14Cで標識された酸は、カルボン酸を例示することができ、カルボン酸の中でも脂肪酸、特に炭素数が2から16の脂肪酸が好ましい。好ましい酸の例としては、酢酸、オクタン酸、ラウリン酸などを挙げることができる。
【0009】
また、本発明は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩を含有する膵外分泌機能診断剤を提供する。
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物およびその塩を包含する。
フルオレセイン(CA Name: 3',6'-Dihydroxyspiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9'-[9H]xanthen-3-one)は以下の構造式で表される。
【0011】
【化1】

【0012】
「フルオレセインエステル化合物」とは、フルオレセインの水酸基に酸がエステル結合した化合物であり、フルオレセインおよび酸に修飾がなされていてもよい。
13C−または14C−標識」とは、フルオレセインエステル化合物中の少なくとも1個の炭素原子が13C−または14C原子に置換されていることにより、フルオレセインエステル化合物中の13C−または14C原子の存在比が天然存在比より高くなっていることをいう。
【0013】
本発明の一態様において、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物またはその塩は、フルオレセインの3'位と6'位の二つの水酸基の両方またはどちらか一方に13Cまたは14Cで標識された酸がエステル結合した化合物またはその塩である。
【0014】
13Cまたは14Cで標識された酸は、カルボン酸を例示することができるが、カルボン酸の中でも脂肪酸が好ましい。本明細書において、「脂肪酸」とは、R−COOH(式中、Rは脂肪族基で分枝や2重結合があってもよい。)で表される化合物をいう。脂肪酸の炭素数は、好ましくは2から16である。
脂肪酸の例としては、酢酸、オクタン酸、ラウリン酸などを挙げることができるが、これらに限定されることはない。
【0015】
本発明の13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物としては、13C−ジラウリルフルオレセイン、13C−ジアセチルフルオレセイン、13C−ジオクタノイルフルオレセインなどを挙げることができる。
13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物は、以下のようにして製造することができる。
【0016】
たとえば、フルオレセインをクロロホルムに溶解し、13C−または14C−標識脂肪酸クロライドを等モルもしくは2倍モル加える。その後、ピリジンを含むクロロホルム溶液を滴下し遮光下で加熱攪拌する。反応終了後、溶媒を留去しカラムクロマトグラフィー、再結晶により13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物を得ることができる。
上記の13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物は、塩の形で得ることもできる。塩としては、ナトリウム塩やカリウム塩などを挙げることができる。
【0017】
本発明の膵外分泌機能診断剤は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩を単独で、あるいは賦形剤または担体と混合し、経口剤(錠剤、カプセル剤、散剤、顆粒剤、液剤等)に製剤化されたものであるとよい。賦形剤または担体としては、当分野で常套的に使用され、薬剤学的に許容されるものであればよく、その種類及び組成は適宜変更される。例えば、液状担体としてはオリーブ油が用いられる。固体担体としては、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースなどのセルロース誘導体、ステアリン酸マグネシウムなどの有機酸塩などが使用される。また、凍結乾燥製剤として用いたりすることもできる。
【0018】
13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩の製剤中における含量は、製剤の種類により異なるが、通常1〜100重量%、好ましくは50〜100 重量%である。カプセル剤、錠剤、顆粒剤、散剤の場合は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩の製剤中における含量は、約10〜100 重量%、好ましくは50〜100 重量%であり、残部は担体である。
【0019】
本発明の膵外分泌機能診断剤の投与量は、投与による呼気中の13CO2または14CO2の増加を確認できる量が必要であり、患者の年齢、体重、検査目的により異なるが、例えば1回当たりの投与量は成人の場合、1〜2000mg/kg体重程度である。
【0020】
本発明の膵外分泌機能診断剤を用いる検査は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩を被験者に投与することにより行う。投与後の血中、尿中、便中の13C−または14C−標識化合物濃度を測定する検査も可能であるが、呼気CO2中の13C濃度あるいは14C濃度の増加を測定する呼気テストが望ましい。13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩を被験者に投与する前に、試験食等を投与して、膵酵素の分泌を誘起しておいてもよく、また、試験食等と共に投与してもよい。また、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩の複数種を組み合わせて使用してもよい。13Cの場合は具体的には、投与後の呼気CO2中の13C濃度を測定し、投与後一定時間(例えば1時間、2時間、3時間)経過後における呼気CO2中の13C濃度の増加率(Δ13C(‰))、あるいは投与後一定時間までの呼気CO2中の13C濃度の増加率(Δ13C(‰))の積算または経時変化(立ち上がりの傾き、傾きの変化、ピークの時間等)のデータから膵外分泌機能の診断を行う。14Cの場合は具体的には、投与後の呼気CO2中の14C濃度すなわち放射能を測定し、投与後一定時間(例えば1時間、2時間、3時間)経過後における呼気CO2中の放射能量、あるいは投与後一定時間までの呼気CO2中の放射能量の増加率の積算または経時変化(立ち上がりの傾き、傾きの変化、ピークの時間等)のデータから膵外分泌機能の診断を行う。
【0021】
この検査法は、13C−または14C−標識フルオレセインエステル化合物または薬剤学的に許容できるその塩を被験者に投与すると、この化合物が膵外分泌性コレステロールエステルハイドロラーゼ、エステラーゼの作用を受けて分解された後に、消化管から吸収されて体内の代謝作用により脱炭酸され、13CO2または14CO2を生じ、これが呼気に排出されるという現象を利用するものである。
【0022】
ここで、呼気CO2中の13C濃度の測定は、ガスクロマトグラフ−質量分析法(GC-MS)、赤外分光法、質量分析法、光電音響分光法、NMR(核磁気共鳴)法等で行うことができる。
【0023】
また、呼気CO2中の14C濃度すなわち放射能の測定は、呼気を直接あるいは溶媒等にCO2 をトラップした後、GM計数管、液体シンチレーションカウンター、固体シンチレーションカウンター、オートラジオグラフィー、電離箱法などで行うことができる。
以下に、本発明を実施例により具体的に説明するが、本発明の範囲はこれらに何ら影響されることはない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel compound useful as a diagnostic agent for pancreatic exocrine function and use thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The pancreatic exocrine function test is a test method useful for diagnosis of pancreatic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. It is also a useful test method for understanding disease state, medication management, and prognostic evaluation of disease (Review Arvanitakis and Cooke. Gastroenterology 74: 932 (1978), Niederau and Grendell. Gastroenterology 88: 1973 (1985), Goldberg. Bull. Mol. Biol. Med. 15: 1 (1990), Lankisch. Int. J. Pancreatology 14: 9 (1993), Bank and Chow Gastroenterologist 2: 224 (1994), Steer et al. New Eng. J. Med 332: 1482 (1995)).
[0003]
The standard test method for exocrine pancreatic function tests is a test method in which a sonde is inserted from the mouth into the duodenum and the duodenal juice is collected. At present, secretion of pancreatic juice is induced by intravenous administration of secretin. Collected secretin tests are common. This method is highly accurate because it directly analyzes the amount and composition of pancreatic juice. However, it is not a test method that can be used as a repeat test or a screening test because the burden on the subject is very large. In addition, since the tester also requires technical skill, this test method can be performed only at some medical institutions. Furthermore, since duodenal juice is collected while confirming the position of the sonde under fluoroscopy, there is also a problem of X-ray exposure.
[0004]
For this reason, simple methods that do not require the insertion of a sonde are used for repeated tests and screening tests. One of these is the pancreolauryl test (PLT), which measures the urinary excretion rate of fluorescein, a degradation product, after 10 hours of oral administration of cholesterol ester hydrolase secreted from the pancreas and esterase synthetic substrate FDL (Fluorescein diraulate) (US Patent No. 3917812, Barry et al. Lancet (1982) Oct. 2 p.742, Scharpe and Iliano Clin. Chem. 33: 5 (1987)).
[0005]
However, this method also requires a long time for the examination, so it cannot be performed frequently for outpatients, and is not suitable for conducting a medical examination or the like.
Under such circumstances, it is desired to develop a simple pancreatic exocrine function test method that can reduce the burden on the subject and can obtain the results in a short time.
