聚電解質錯合物凝膠及包含彼等之軟組織填補植入物Polyelectrolyte complex gels and soft tissue filling implants comprising the same

本發明係關於一種適用於軟組織植入物之聚電解質錯合物(polyelectrolyte complex,PEC)凝膠及包含該聚電解質錯合物凝膠之軟組織填補植入物。更特定而言,該聚電解質錯合物凝膠為包含幾丁聚醣及γ-聚麩胺酸(γ-PGA)之聚電解質錯合物凝膠。The present invention relates to a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) gel suitable for soft tissue implants and a soft tissue filling implant comprising the polyelectrolyte complex gel. More specifically, the polyelectrolyte complex gel is a polyelectrolyte complex gel comprising chitosan and γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA).

皮膚的填補在從受傷中恢復或於美容或支撐等目的中,可能成為填補的重要因素。例如皮膚在正常老化下可能會變得鬆散或形成如鼻唇皺摺、皺紋、坑洞及缺陷等。在臉上的皺摺或皺紋可能會影響一個人的自信心,甚至是職業生涯,因此以軟組織填補術矯正缺陷及對抗衰老的影響也變得日益重要。目前,軟組織填補術可藉由諸如蠟狀物質、膠原蛋白、脂肪、矽酮、聚乳酸、聚乙烯、聚四氟乙烯或水膠為主之聚合物組成物等材料加以填補,這些材料可根據使用的情況而有不同形式,例如濃溶液、凝膠、珠或懸浮物等,且可做為植入物或運送植入物之載體。理想的軟組織填補材料應具有足夠之耐久性並可維持於指定位置,不應從植入部位遷移。The filling of the skin may be an important factor in the recovery from injury or for cosmetic or support purposes. For example, the skin may become loose or form such as nasolabial folds, wrinkles, potholes, and defects under normal aging. Wrinkles or wrinkles on the face may affect a person's self-confidence, even a career, so it is increasingly important to use soft tissue filling to correct defects and fight aging. At present, soft tissue filling can be filled by materials such as waxy substances, collagen, fat, ketone, polylactic acid, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene or water-based polymer. These materials can be There are different forms of use, such as concentrated solutions, gels, beads or suspensions, and the like, and can be used as an implant or carrier for transporting the implant. The ideal soft tissue filling material should be sufficiently durable and maintainable at the designated location and should not migrate from the implant site.

美國第4,803,075號專利揭露一種用於軟組織填補術的注射植入物組合物,其包括一種生物相容微粒(如交聯的膠原蛋白或諸如肝醣或麥芽糖等生物相容之流體潤滑劑)的水性懸浮液,以改善該生物材料懸浮液的可注射性。然而,該專利之組合物不具有足夠之耐久性,所以它們無法在體內停留足夠長的時間。US Patent No. 4,803,075 discloses an injection implant composition for soft tissue filling that includes a biocompatible particle such as cross-linked collagen or a biocompatible fluid lubricant such as glycogen or maltose. An aqueous suspension to improve the injectability of the suspension of biological material. However, the compositions of this patent do not have sufficient durability so they cannot stay in the body for a sufficient period of time.

美國第6,537,574號專利涉及一種生物相容材料,其包括由一種生物可相容性陶瓷物質之平滑、圓形、細碎的實質球體顆粒所組成之基質,其彼此鄰近或接觸,且提供一支架或結構以供自體性、三維、無定向的非瘢痕性軟組織於強化位置生長;在其中一個實施例中,在將懸浮於羧甲基維素鈉中之20至45 μm或75至125 μm的顆粒狀羥磷灰石鈣的滅菌樣本注射至組織後,羧甲基纖維素於三個月內被吸收,留下羥基磷灰石鈣於組織中。雖不難將樣本植入於軟組織內,但維持效果不易,須於三個月內補行第二次注射。US Patent No. 6,537,574 is directed to a biocompatible material comprising a matrix of smooth, round, finely divided substantial spherical particles of a biocompatible ceramic material adjacent or in contact with one another and providing a scaffold or The structure is grown in a strengthened position for autologous, three-dimensional, non-oriented non-scarring soft tissue; in one embodiment, it is suspended in sodium carboxymethyl vegas 20 to 45 μm or 75 to 125 μm After the sterilized sample of granular hydroxyapatite calcium was injected into the tissue, carboxymethylcellulose was absorbed within three months, leaving hydroxyapatite calcium in the tissue. Although it is not difficult to implant the sample in the soft tissue, the maintenance effect is not easy, and the second injection must be completed within three months.

英國第2222176號專利提供了一個用於填補凹陷性疤痕、不對稱眼眶底及表面骨缺陷等的改良微植入方法與設備。該專利採用具有約20至3000微米之經表面處理的微粒,其可經適當的生理載體和皮下注射針及注射器注射到預定之位置,諸如凹陷瘢痕的底部、凹陷的皮膚區域之下以及在骨與軟骨表面不規則處的軟骨膜與骨膜之下。在需要使用硬物質之情況下,可利用某些鈣鹽(包括羥基磷灰石或其他類似之晶體材料)、生物相容陶瓷、生物相容金屬(例如特定不銹鋼顆粒)或玻璃等生物相容材料;在某些情況下,可能需要使用完全惰性的載體,如矽油、脂肪及玻尿酸酯(例如乙基玻尿酸酯和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮等)。然而,這些載體會快速降解,因此無法長期支撐目標物。British Patent No. 2,222,176 provides an improved micro-implantation method and apparatus for filling concave scars, asymmetric eyelid bottoms, and surface bone defects. This patent employs surface treated microparticles having from about 20 to 3000 microns which can be injected into a predetermined location via a suitable physiological carrier and hypodermic needle and syringe, such as the bottom of a depressed scar, a depressed skin area, and bone. Below the perichondrium and periosteum of the cartilage surface irregularities. Biocompatibility with certain calcium salts (including hydroxyapatite or other similar crystalline materials), biocompatible ceramics, biocompatible metals (eg specific stainless steel particles) or glass, where hard materials are required Materials; in some cases, it may be necessary to use completely inert carriers such as emu oil, fat and hyaluronic acid (such as ethyl hyaluronic acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone). However, these carriers degrade rapidly and therefore do not support the target for a long time.

美國第5,344,452號專利涉及一個具組織相容性固體為主的異質性植入物,其特別適用於將皮膚之不規則處平坦化,但亦可用於其他目的的整形外科。該專利係使用被結締組織包覆或嵌入至結締組織纖維之20-40微米之聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)顆粒,其懸浮於人體內之膠原蛋白。然而,由於膠原蛋白係源自牛等動物,此種植入物有導致過敏之可能。U.S. Patent No. 5,344,452 is directed to a heterogeneous implant based on tissue compatible solids which is particularly useful for planarizing irregularities in the skin, but can also be used for orthopedic surgery for other purposes. This patent uses 20-40 micron polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles coated or embedded in connective tissue fibers suspended in the human body. However, since collagen is derived from animals such as cattle, such implants have the potential to cause allergies.

美國專利第2008/0025950 A1號公開案揭露一種化合物及製造方法及使用該化合物於無瘢痕傷口治療、傳輸生物活性劑或活細胞及預防手術後或骨骼和軟骨的修復後沾黏之方法。該化合物可為經修飾之大分子化合物,其係藉由引進至少一個肼反應性基團和/或胺基氧基反應性基團以促進交聯。然而,形成經修飾之大分子化合物必須使用交聯反應。U.S. Patent No. 2008/0025950 A1 discloses a compound and method of manufacture and a method of using the compound for the treatment of scarless wounds, delivery of bioactive agents or living cells, and prevention of post-surgical or bone and cartilage repair. The compound can be a modified macromolecular compound that promotes crosslinking by introducing at least one hydrazine reactive group and/or an amineoxy reactive group. However, a crosslinking reaction must be used to form a modified macromolecular compound.

R.A. Appell的「人工尿道括約肌與尿道周圍之注射作用(The Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Periurethral Injections,Obstetrics and Gynecolocy Report Vol. 2,No. 3,pp. 334-342,(1990))」回顧評論中揭露各種用以治療尿道括約肌機能不全之方式,包括使用可注射物諸如尺寸約4至100微米之不規則形狀的聚四氟乙烯微聚合物顆粒以及甘油與聚山梨酸酯。另一種尿道周圍的可注射構件包括高度純化之牛真皮膠原蛋白,其係與戊二醛交聯及分散於磷酸鹽緩衝的生理食鹽水中。Kresa等人揭露一種用以治療聲門閉合不全之聲帶調整之方法,其中包括將先前經乾燥成玻璃狀、堅硬狀態之一親水性凝膠的造型植入物導入聲帶中(Kresa et al,「Hydron Gel Implants in Vocal Cords」Otolaryngolocy Head and Neck Surgery,Vol. 98. No. 3,pp. 242-245,(March 1988))。在前述兩篇文獻中,體內降解時間為評估軟組織植入物的一個重要因素。舉例來說,膠原蛋白會迅速在體內發生水解及降解並導致相對短的臨床效果,因此患者必須於通常每隔數月的時間再接受額外注射,以維持組織之支撐性。然而不斷進行的注射過程不但昂貴,亦會造成不便、不適或者疼痛及其他副作用。此外,任何包含注射等侵入性的療程都有交叉污染和感染的風險。因此,在此技術領域中對於可用於軟組織填補術且更持久之注射材料仍有需求。RA Appell's review of the "The Artificial Urinary Sphincter and Periurethral Injections, Obstetrics and Gynecolocy Report Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 334-342, (1990)" Means for treating urethral sphincter insufficiency include the use of injectables such as irregularly shaped polytetrafluoroethylene micropolymer particles having a size of about 4 to 100 microns, and glycerin and polysorbate. Another injectable member surrounding the urethra comprises highly purified bovine dermal collagen which is cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and dispersed in phosphate-buffered physiological saline. Kresa et al. disclose a method of vocal cord adjustment for the treatment of glottic insufficiency, which involves introducing a styling implant of a hydrophilic gel that has been previously dried into a glassy, hard state into the vocal cords (Kresa et al , "Hydron" Gel Implants in Vocal Cords" Otolaryngolocy Head and Neck Surgery, Vol. 98. No. 3, pp. 242-245, (March 1988)). In both of the above documents, in vivo degradation time is an important factor in the evaluation of soft tissue implants. For example, collagen rapidly hydrolyzes and degrades in the body and results in relatively short clinical effects, so patients must receive additional injections every few months to maintain tissue support. However, the ongoing injection process is not only expensive, but also causes inconvenience, discomfort or pain and other side effects. In addition, any invasive procedure, including injections, carries the risk of cross-contamination and infection. Therefore, there is still a need in the art for injection materials that are useful for soft tissue filling and that are more durable.
