The invention also relates to methods of manufacture of such release capsules, uses of such release capsules, and products comprising them.

Description

釋放膠囊、其製造及用途 Release capsule, its manufacture and use

本發明係關於釋放膠囊領域,該等膠囊尤其用於保護濕敏材料,例如鹽且尤其用於產生二氧化氯之組成物。本發明亦關於製造該等釋放膠囊之方法,且關於該等釋放膠囊之用途,尤其關於包含其之產物。 The invention relates to the field of release capsules, in particular for the protection of moisture-sensitive materials, such as salts, and in particular for the production of chlorine dioxide. The invention also relates to methods of making such release capsules, and to the use of such release capsules, and more particularly to products comprising the same.

常需要防止化學藥劑與其所在環境相互作用。然而,此等藥劑最終必須暴露於該環境以使其可展現其預定活性,例如在環境條件變得有利時或在需要指定作用時。 It is often necessary to prevent chemical agents from interacting with their environment. However, such agents must ultimately be exposed to the environment such that they exhibit their intended activity, such as when environmental conditions become favorable or when a specified effect is desired.

因此,經常嘗試使敏感藥劑與反應性環境分隔開。此僅當需要藥劑存在於反應混合物中時,才可例如藉由將該等藥劑投予包含反應混合物之反應器中來達成。或者,已嘗試使藥劑以封裝形式包括於反應混合物中,以便不再需要其他藥劑劑量。該等封裝可為例如包含反應混合物之各別成分於彼此機械隔開的個別區室中之多部分容器。在移除分隔該等區室之機械障壁後,可混合各成分且藥劑可發揮其作用。 Therefore, attempts are often made to separate sensitive agents from reactive environments. This can only be achieved, if the agent is required to be present in the reaction mixture, for example by administering the agents to a reactor comprising the reaction mixture. Alternatively, an attempt has been made to include the agent in a package in the reaction mixture so that no other agent dose is needed. The packages may be, for example, a multi-part container containing individual components of the reaction mixture that are mechanically separated from each other. After removing the mechanical barrier separating the compartments, the ingredients can be mixed and the agent can function.

就此而言,已嘗試用殼體囊封藥劑,以防止與反應性環境直接接觸。膠囊可呈具有一或多個殼層之核殼型粒子形式,或可為藥劑嵌入基質中之膠囊。亦已嘗試呈核殼型粒子形式之釋放膠囊,其中核心由嵌入有化學藥劑之基質製成。例如藉由基質及/或殼體材料之機械作用或機械崩解而自膠囊釋放藥劑。 In this regard, attempts have been made to encapsulate the agent with a shell to prevent direct contact with the reactive environment. The capsule may be in the form of core-shell particles having one or more shell layers or may be a capsule in which the agent is embedded in the matrix. Attempts have also been made to release capsules in the form of core-shell particles in which the core is made of a matrix embedded with a chemical agent. The agent is released from the capsule, for example, by mechanical action or mechanical disintegration of the matrix and/or shell material.

一個問題為化學藥劑之囊封過程本身不可使藥劑暴露於環 境,導致藥劑變質。舉例而言,溫度敏感型藥劑在囊封期間不應暴露於高溫,且濕敏型藥劑在囊封期間不應暴露於水。 One problem is that the encapsulation process of the chemical itself does not expose the agent to the ring. The environment causes the agent to deteriorate. For example, the temperature sensitive agent should not be exposed to high temperatures during encapsulation, and the moisture sensitive agent should not be exposed to water during encapsulation.

本發明已因此著手提供一種囊封化學藥劑之製造方法,其中該製造方法應允許在基本上不存在水的情況下進行。該製造方法亦應允許完整囊封且亦應允許實現囊封內容物甚至在浸入水中後亦能有長期防水效果。另外,本發明著手提供對應的釋放膠囊、其用途及尤其包含該等釋放膠囊之產物。 The present invention has therefore proceeded to provide a method of making an encapsulated chemical wherein the method of manufacture should be allowed to be carried out in the substantial absence of water. The method of manufacture should also permit complete encapsulation and should also allow for the long-term waterproofing of the encapsulated contents even after immersion in water. Additionally, the present invention proceeds to provide corresponding release capsules, uses thereof, and in particular products comprising such release capsules.

根據本發明,因此提供一種釋放膠囊,包含一具有欲最終釋放之藥劑的核心,該藥劑包含兩種或兩種以上不同物質或由兩種或兩種以上不同物質組成,該核心由一疏水性材料之殼體圍繞,且金屬氧化物材料沈積於該殼體中及/或沈積於該殼體上,其中金屬氧化物材料之量經選擇以使在該膠囊與液體水接觸後自該膠囊釋放50 wt.-%之該藥劑(亦即該藥劑之兩種或兩種以上不同物質之總重量/總含量)延遲至少24小時。 According to the present invention, there is thus provided a release capsule comprising a core having an agent to be finally released, the agent comprising two or more different substances or consisting of two or more different substances, the core being hydrophobic a shell of material surrounding and a metal oxide material deposited in the shell and/or deposited on the shell, wherein the amount of metal oxide material is selected such that the capsule is released from the capsule upon contact with liquid water 50 wt.-% of the agent (i.e., the total weight/total content of two or more different substances of the agent) is delayed by at least 24 hours.

現已驚訝地發現,疏水性殼體材料與沈積於該殼體中及/或沈積於該殼體上之金屬氧化物材料之組合允許使在釋放膠囊與液體水接觸後自該釋放膠囊之核心釋放50 wt.-%之藥劑延遲至少24小時。金屬氧化物材料之量較佳經選擇以便(a)使在該膠囊與液體水接觸後自該膠囊釋放75 wt.-%之該藥劑(亦即該藥劑之兩種或兩種以上不同物質之總重量/總含量)延遲至少24小時,且較佳地,(b)使在該膠囊與液體水接觸後自該膠囊釋放50 wt.-%之該藥劑(亦即該藥劑之兩種或兩種以上不同物質之總重量/總含量)延遲至少48小時。 It has now surprisingly been found that the combination of the hydrophobic shell material with the metal oxide material deposited in the shell and/or deposited on the shell allows the core of the capsule to be released after the release capsule is in contact with the liquid water. Release 50 wt.-% of the agent for at least 24 hours. Preferably, the amount of metal oxide material is selected to (a) release 75 wt.-% of the agent from the capsule after contact with the liquid water (ie, two or more different substances of the agent) The total weight/total content is delayed by at least 24 hours, and preferably, (b) releasing 50 wt.-% of the agent from the capsule after contact with the liquid water (ie, two or two of the agent) The total weight/total content of the above different substances is delayed by at least 48 hours.

術語「釋放」應解釋為意指藥劑或其各物質分別離開由疏水性材料之殼體圍繞且界定之(內部)區域且進入圍繞膠囊之介質,詳言之圍繞膠囊之液體或氣體介質,例如液體水。舉例而言,「離開」可發生在例如水流入釋放膠囊後,此會引起欲釋放藥劑溶解且釋放於水相環境中。視所用藥劑及任何圍繞膠囊之介質而定,若介質或其任何化合物滲入膠囊殼體且因此進入膠囊(內部)區域,因此藥劑或其一或多種物質可能與介質或其任何化合物反應,其中產生一或多種(其他)物質且之後自膠囊釋放,則亦可能發生「離開」。詳言之,離開可發生在周圍液體穿過殼體之擴散過程(關於分子擴散)的情況下,此可有助於核心之兩種不同物質之反應且形成氣態新組分,其接著可離開由殼體圍繞且界定之(內部)區域。 The term "release" is to be interpreted to mean that the agent or its substance separates from the (internal) region surrounded and defined by the shell of the hydrophobic material and enters the medium surrounding the capsule, in particular the liquid or gaseous medium surrounding the capsule, for example Liquid water. For example, "away" can occur, for example, after water has flowed into the release capsule, which causes the release of the agent to be dissolved and released into the aqueous environment. Depending on the agent used and any medium surrounding the capsule, if the medium or any compound thereof penetrates into the capsule shell and thus enters the capsule (internal) region, the agent or one or more substances thereof may react with the medium or any of its compounds, wherein "Leaving" may also occur if one or more (other) substances are released from the capsule. In particular, leaving can occur in the diffusion process of the surrounding liquid through the shell (with respect to molecular diffusion), which can contribute to the reaction of the two different substances of the core and form a gaseous new component, which can then leave An (internal) area surrounded and defined by the housing.

膠囊(如上所述)中所含之藥劑或其各物質各自釋放之量測較佳藉由使用例如雷射技術來進行:發送雷射束至浸於液體中之稜鏡,其中要研究核心藥劑或由兩種或兩種以上核心藥劑之反應形成之新組分的釋放(如上所述)。欲量測釋放之物質顯示在稜鏡與液體之間的界面處之繞射角對周圍液體中之物質濃度的函數依賴性。此依賴性可藉由添加確定的量至液體中且量測已自雷射器傳至稜鏡且隨後回至光學元件之光,亦即藉由量測回光(returning light)來校準。在該校準後,可將稜鏡浸於欲研究液體中,添加膠囊且可藉由量測回光(如上所述)之強度來研究核心藥劑之釋放。應注意,膠囊本身浸於液體中,但並未改變界面處之繞射角。根據本發明之一個較佳具體實例,量測(核心所釋放且)保留於水溶液中之任何物質(尤其鹽離子,例如Na+)對於繞射角之影響,而由核心藥劑反應形成之任何氣體(例如ClO2、CO2)(若合適時)將不會對量測有影響。儘管如此,由於核心藥劑之反應通常為已知的,故可校準且明確地量測釋放。因此,較佳對核心藥劑進行選擇,使得核心藥劑之反應(如上所述)已知或可分別預見。 The measurement of the release of each of the medicaments contained in the capsules (as described above) or their respective substances is preferably carried out by using, for example, a laser technique: sending a laser beam to a crucible immersed in a liquid, wherein the core medicament is to be studied Or the release of a new component formed by the reaction of two or more core agents (as described above). The substance to be measured is shown to exhibit a dependence of the diffraction angle at the interface between the hydrazine and the liquid on the concentration of the substance in the surrounding liquid. This dependency can be calibrated by adding a determined amount to the liquid and measuring the light that has passed from the laser to the helium and then back to the optical element, ie by measuring the returning light. After this calibration, the sputum can be immersed in the liquid to be studied, capsules added and the release of the core agent can be studied by measuring the intensity of the return light (as described above). It should be noted that the capsule itself is immersed in the liquid but does not change the diffraction angle at the interface. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, any substance (especially released by the core) that remains in the aqueous solution (especially salt ions, such as Na+) is affected by the diffraction angle, and any gas formed by the reaction of the core agent is measured ( For example, ClO2, CO2) (if appropriate) will not affect the measurement. Nonetheless, since the reaction of the core agent is generally known, the release can be calibrated and unambiguously measured. Therefore, it is preferred to select the core agent such that the reaction of the core agent (as described above) is known or separately foreseen.

術語「具有藥劑之核心」應解釋為意指該核心包含至少一種,亦即一或多種(不同)如本文分別所述之藥劑。該「核心」較佳由第一及第二藥劑,及視情況選用之一或多種其他物質(諸如黏合劑、填充劑或其他藥劑)組成。若該核心包含一種以上藥劑,亦即如本文所述之兩種或兩種以上不同藥劑,則關於釋放延遲(如本文所述)之限制條件適用於所有核心藥劑。該(等)限制條件較佳適用於膠囊核心中所含之所有物質,尤其若膠囊之核心中所含之所有物質為水溶性物質時。 The term "core having a medicament" is to be interpreted to mean that the core comprises at least one, i.e. one or more (different) agents as described herein separately. Preferably, the "core" consists of the first and second agents, and optionally one or more other substances (such as adhesives, fillers or other agents). If the core comprises more than one agent, i.e., two or more different agents as described herein, the limitations on release delay (as described herein) apply to all core agents. The (etc.) limiting conditions are preferably applied to all of the materials contained in the core of the capsule, especially if all of the materials contained in the core of the capsule are water soluble.

若核心包含一種以上藥劑,亦即兩種或兩種以上藥劑,其中各藥劑包含兩種或兩種以上不同物質或由兩種或兩種以上不同物質組成,則應瞭解本文中鑒於核心之(至少一種)藥劑所述之態樣較佳適用於核心中所含之所有藥劑。 If the core contains more than one agent, that is, two or more agents, each of which contains two or more different substances or consists of two or more different substances, it should be understood that The at least one agent described above is preferably applied to all of the agents contained in the core.

(至少一種)藥劑較佳包含兩種或兩種以上不同物質或由兩種或兩種以上不同物質組成,該等物質能夠在與氣體或液體介質接觸後,例如在與(液體)水接觸後產生(亦即至少一種)其他物質,該其他物質不同於膠囊核心中所含之藥劑之物質,較佳不同於膠囊核心中所含之所有物質。亦即,藥劑之兩種或兩種以上不同物質較佳能夠在與氣體或液體介質或其任何化合物接觸後,較佳在與(液體)水接觸後產生(藉由化學反應來產生)該其他物質。與(氣體或液體)介質或其任何化合物接觸可發生在(a)膠囊釋放藥劑後或(b)若介質或其任何化合物滲入膠囊殼體且因此進入膠囊(內部)區域時(如上所述)。 The (at least one) agent preferably comprises two or more different substances or consists of two or more different substances which are capable of contacting the gas or liquid medium, for example after contact with (liquid) water. The other substance is produced (i.e., at least one) different from the substance of the agent contained in the core of the capsule, preferably different from all of the substances contained in the core of the capsule. That is, two or more different substances of the agent are preferably capable of being produced after contact with the gas or liquid medium or any of its compounds, preferably after contact with (liquid) water (produced by a chemical reaction). substance. Contact with a (gas or liquid) medium or any of its compounds may occur after (a) the capsule releases the agent or (b) if the medium or any of its compounds penetrates into the capsule shell and thus enters the capsule (internal) region (as described above) .

其中核心藥劑(較佳為各藥劑)為二氧化氯產生劑的本發明之釋放膠囊尤其較佳。較佳的二氧化氯產生劑將如下所述。 The release capsule of the present invention in which the core agent (preferably each agent) is a chlorine dioxide generator is particularly preferred. Preferred chlorine dioxide generators will be described below.

本發明之膠囊之核心中所含的藥劑較佳由兩種或兩種以上不同水溶性物質組成。尤其較佳為一種膠囊,其中該膠囊之核心中所含之所有物質為水溶性物質。 The agent contained in the core of the capsule of the present invention preferably consists of two or more different water-soluble substances. Particularly preferred is a capsule wherein all of the substances contained in the core of the capsule are water soluble.

較佳地,本發明之膠囊之核心中所含的藥劑為固體混合物,較佳為固體水溶性混合物。 Preferably, the agent contained in the core of the capsule of the present invention is a solid mixture, preferably a solid water-soluble mixture.

根據本發明之一個替代性具體實例,除如上所述之一或多種藥劑之外,膠囊之核心包含一或多種其他物質。根據本發明之一個較佳態樣,膠囊之核心中所含之所有物質為水溶性物質。 According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the core of the capsule comprises one or more other substances in addition to one or more of the agents described above. According to a preferred aspect of the invention, all of the materials contained in the core of the capsule are water soluble.

因此,根據本發明之一個尤其較佳的具體實例,膠囊包含一具有一或多種藥劑(如上所述)之核心,該(等)藥劑包含兩種或兩種以上不同水溶性物質或由兩種或兩種以上不同水溶性物質組成,該等物質能夠在與氣體或液體介質接觸後產生一或多種其他物質(如上所述),該(等)藥劑較佳為二氧化氯產生劑,該其他物質不同於該膠囊之核心中所含之所有物質,其中該膠囊之核心中所含之所有物質為水溶性物質。 Thus, in accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the capsule comprises a core having one or more agents (as described above), the agent comprising two or more different water soluble materials or by two Or consisting of two or more different water-soluble substances capable of producing one or more other substances (as described above) after contact with a gas or liquid medium, preferably the chlorine dioxide generating agent, the other The substance is different from all substances contained in the core of the capsule, wherein all substances contained in the core of the capsule are water-soluble substances.

較佳的製造該等釋放膠囊之方法、較佳的欲釋放藥劑、疏水性材料及金屬氧化物材料將詳細描述於下文中。 Preferred methods of making such release capsules, preferred release agents, hydrophobic materials, and metal oxide materials are described in detail below.

如上所述,本發明之較佳釋放膠囊包含二氧化氯產生劑作為欲釋放藥劑。一個尤其驚人的優勢為:本發明允許有效地在很長一段時間內使二氧化氯產生劑與液體水隔離,尤其允許使在膠囊與液體水接觸後自膠囊釋放50 wt.-%之二氧化氯產生劑延遲至少24小時,較佳允許(a)使在膠囊與液體水接觸後自膠囊釋放75 wt.-%之藥劑延遲至少24小時,且較佳地,(b)使在膠囊與液體水接觸後自膠囊釋放50 wt.-%之藥劑延遲至少48小時。 As described above, the preferred release capsule of the present invention contains a chlorine dioxide generator as a drug to be released. A particularly surprising advantage is that the present invention allows for effective isolation of the chlorine dioxide generator from liquid water over a long period of time, in particular allowing 50 wt.-% of oxidative release from the capsule after contact of the capsule with liquid water. The chlorine generating agent is delayed for at least 24 hours, preferably allowing (a) to delay release of 75 wt.-% of the agent from the capsule after contact with the liquid water for at least 24 hours, and preferably, (b) in the capsule and liquid A 50 wt.-% release of the agent from the capsule after contact with water is delayed for at least 48 hours.

二氧化氯(chlorodioxide/chlorine dioxide)為一種已知的消毒劑以及強氧化劑。二氧化氯因其具有殺細菌性、殺藻性、殺真菌性、漂白性及除臭性而尤其有用;參見US 6238643。二氧化氯之一個優勢為其可在不形成不希望有的副產物(諸如氯胺或氯化有機化合物)的情況下起作用,該等副產物不然會在利用元素氯進行消毒或薰蒸時產生。二氧化氯之一個 劣勢為在標準條件(亦即20℃、1013 hPa)下,二氧化氯為氣體且因此難以儲存。因此,為使用二氧化氯,此化合物常常必須如例如WO 2007/100531 A2及WO 2007/149906 A2中所述當場產生。然而,二氧化氯產生劑必須小心操作,因為二氧化氯會***分解成元素氯及氧。此外,當由鹽形成二氧化氯時,強制性地以無水形式儲存產生二氧化氯的鹽混合物,以免自發開始產生二氧化氯,由此導致二氧化氯損失或可能導致***性氣體形成。 Chlorodioxide/chlorine dioxide is a known disinfectant and a strong oxidant. Chlorine dioxide is particularly useful for its bactericidal, algicidal, fungicidal, bleaching and deodorizing properties; see US 6,238,643. One advantage of chlorine dioxide is that it can function without the formation of undesirable by-products such as chloramines or chlorinated organic compounds, which would otherwise be sterilized or fumigated with elemental chlorine. produce. One of chlorine dioxide The disadvantage is that under standard conditions (ie 20 ° C, 1013 hPa), chlorine dioxide is a gas and therefore difficult to store. Thus, in order to use chlorine dioxide, this compound must often be produced on the spot as described, for example, in WO 2007/100531 A2 and WO 2007/149906 A2. However, chlorine dioxide generators must be handled with care because chlorine dioxide decomposes into elemental chlorine and oxygen. Further, when chlorine dioxide is formed from a salt, it is mandatory to store a salt mixture which produces chlorine dioxide in an anhydrous form so as not to spontaneously start to generate chlorine dioxide, thereby causing loss of chlorine dioxide or possibly causing formation of an explosive gas.

現已驚訝地發現,可形成本發明之釋放膠囊以囊封用於產生二氧化氯之(鹽)混合物(在本文中稱為「二氧化氯產生劑」;該等混合物例如以商品名Aseptrol出售),且更有價值的是:本發明之釋放膠囊可有效地使囊封的產生二氧化氯之混合物與水隔離。因此,本發明允許提供二氧化氯產生劑之一種安全儲存形式,且從而極大地拓寬二氧化氯之潛在應用範圍。 It has now surprisingly been found that the release capsules of the present invention can be formed to encapsulate a (salt) mixture for the production of chlorine dioxide (referred to herein as "chlorine dioxide generator"; such mixtures are sold, for example, under the trade name Aseptrol And, more valuablely, the release capsule of the present invention is effective to isolate the encapsulated chlorine dioxide-producing mixture from water. Thus, the present invention allows for a safe storage form of chlorine dioxide generating agent and thereby greatly broadens the potential range of application of chlorine dioxide.

適合二氧化氯產生劑及其物質例如描述於WO 2007/100531 A2及WO 2007/149906 A2中(尤其參見分別關於「產生二氧化氯之組成物」或「形成二氧化氯之組成物」及其對應成分之態樣)。 Suitable chlorine dioxide generating agents and their substances are described, for example, in WO 2007/100531 A2 and WO 2007/149906 A2 (see, in particular, "Composition of chlorine dioxide generating" or "Composition of chlorine dioxide forming" and Corresponding components)
