Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a microsphere high in blood vessel closing effect, having a fixed particle diameter, useful for a closing therapy especially for a deep cancer, by using both a water-insoluble metal phosphate and a prescribed compound. SOLUTION: This microsphere comprises both a water-insoluble phosphate such as hydroxyapatite and an organic polymer compound and has 0.01-10mm, preferably 0.05-1mm average particle diameter. The microsphere is obtained by dripping a dripping solution containing both the water-insoluble phosphate and the organic polymer compound into a sclerosing solution containing both a water soluble salt of a metal capable of forming a water-insoluble salt with phosphoric acid and water to precipitate a globule. Calcium tertiary phosphate is preferable as the water-insoluble phosphate besides the above-mentioned compound. Sodium alginate, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, sodium carboxydextran, etc., are preferable as the organic polymer compound. The microsphere is effective for treating a deep cancer such as pancreatic cancer, hepatic carcinoma, gallbladder cancer and splenic cancer. The blood vessel closing agent is usable as an injection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cancer is one of the unsolved serious diseases facing humanity nowadays when infectious diseases have been overcome by the advent of antibiotics. Various chemical substances have been developed to overcome cancer, but there is little difference between the toxicity to cancer cells and the toxicity to normal cells, and it is not possible to raise the dose to a level that can treat cancer or side effects. Many problems remain with chemotherapy, such as cancer that can be treated but does not lead to life-prolonging effects.

Radiation therapy has been carried out for the purpose of complementing this chemotherapy, but radiation, like anticancer agents, also has a problem of side effects. Further, in radiation therapy, there is no other specification for coping with deep cancer such as liver, pancreas, spleen, etc. than intraoperative irradiation. Since intraoperative irradiation imposes a great burden on the patient, it is difficult to adapt to patients with weak physical strength, and the number of simultaneous irradiations is limited, so that the effect is often limited.

Under these circumstances, various efforts have been made to improve the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. For example, a missile therapy in which an anti-cancer cell monoclonal antibody or the like is bound to an anti-cancer agent to enhance the cancer orientation, or an anti-cancer agent occlusion therapy that blocks the nutrient blood vessels of cancer with an iodized oil such as Lipiodol and also seals the anti-cancer agent in a cancer-bearing organ. And so on. However, missile therapy suffers from drug release when it reaches cancer, while occlusion therapy lacks materials that can occlude sufficiently, for example because it is a synthetic chemical such as Lipiodol, There are problems such as lack of biocompatibility and inability to perform complete occlusion.

Example 1 <Reservability test> The retentivity of the microspheres of the present invention administered using rats was examined. That is, 5 male Wistar rats per group were anesthetized with pentobarbital, and the upper abdomen was incised in the midline. Then, the microsphere 1 which is the occluding agent of the present invention labeled with 32 P was intraperitoneally administered at 21 mg (28 d
pm / body weight (mg) was embedded and the abdomen was closed. This is slaughtered at regular intervals and each organ is taken out and homogenized,
A lysing agent was added and dissolved, and the radiation intensity of each organ was measured by a liquid scintillation counter.

This was divided by the organ weight, and the radiation intensity per unit weight was measured. Table 3 shows the results. Than this,
It can be seen that the microspheres, which are the occluding agent of the present invention, are well retained in the abdominal cavity, which is the administration site, and that no other radioactive substances have migrated. Therefore, it can be seen that the microspheres of the present invention can efficiently block the feeding blood vessels.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the microspheres of the present invention are made of a biocompatible material and are processed into small spheres that are less likely to damage the inner wall of blood vessels, they can occlude the feeding blood vessels of cancer well in the affected area. It has the effect of inhibiting the supply of nutrients to the area and at the same time stopping the anti-cancer agent administered to this part without leaking it to other parts, and can be effectively used as a vaso-occlusive agent.

Further, by using an organic polymer compound having hydrophilicity, it is possible to form small spheres which are excellent in impregnating a water-soluble drug to act, and therefore, not only as a blocking agent but also as a water-soluble drug. It can also be used as a carrier for anti-cancer drugs.
