(1-1)TMS-デキストランの合成
デキストラン(ナカライテスク株式会社、ナカライ規格特級適合品、数平均分子量13,000、5.0g)をホルムアミド(100ml)に加え、80℃に加熱した。この溶液に1,1,1,3,3,3-ヘキサメチルジシラザン(100ml)を20分掛けて滴下した。滴下終了後、80℃で2時間攪拌した。反応終了後、反応溶液を室温に戻し、分液漏斗で2層を分離した。上の層を減圧下濃縮した後、メタノール(300ml)を加え、得られた固体をろ過、乾燥し、TMS-デキストラン(化合物(1))(11.4g)を白色固体として得た。
化合物(1)(0.5g)とtert-ブトキシカリウム(35mg)を加熱減圧下2時間乾燥後、テトラヒドロフラン(10ml)を加え、1.5時間室温で攪拌した。この溶液に(DL)-ラクチド(0.56g)とグリコリド(0.45g)のテトラヒドロフラン(15ml)溶液を滴下し、5分間攪拌後、酢酸を2滴加えて反応を停止させた。反応終了後、溶媒を減圧下濃縮し、クロロフォルム-メタノール系およびクロロフォルム-ジエチルエーテル系で再沈殿精製を行うことによって得られる白色固体をクロロフォルム(9ml)に溶解した。この溶液にトリフルオロ酢酸(1.0ml)を加え、室温で30分間攪拌した。反応終了後、溶媒を減圧下留去後、残渣をクロロフォルム(10ml)に溶解し、0℃に冷却したジエチルエーテルに滴下することにより得られた生成物をろ過することによりデキストラン-PLGAを白色固体として得た(化合物(12))。同様な方法で、(DL)-ラクチド(0.78g)とグリコリド(0.63g)の仕込量で化合物(13)を、同様な方法で、(DL)-ラクチド(1.12g)とグリコリド(0.9g)の仕込量で化合物(14)を、同様な方法で(DL)-ラクチド(1.67g)とグリコリド(1.35g)の仕込量で化合物(15)を合成した。
ポリエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル(日本油脂株式会社製 SUNBRIGHT MEH-20H、数平均分子量5,128、Mw/Mn=1.02)、(DL)-ラクチドとグリコリドを表2の仕込量で混合し、140℃に加熱した。20分攪拌後、オクチル酸すず(II)(ポリエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテルに対して0.05重量%)を加え、180℃で3時間攪拌した。反応液を室温に戻した後、クロロフォルム(約100mg/ml濃度になるよう)に溶解し、0℃に冷却したジエチルエーテルで再沈殿精製し、得られた固体を濾別、減圧乾燥することでPEG-PLGAポリマーを白色、または薄茶色の固体として得た。本ポリマーの数平均分子量は1H-NMRから求めた(表2)。

実施例2で作製したPEG-PLGAポリマー(化合物(10)、(11))5mgを炭酸ジメチル100μlに溶解し、50mg/mlのポリマー溶液を調製した。該ポリマー溶液にtert-ブタノールを20μl添加後、表4に示す抗原含有溶液50μlを加え、攪拌することで逆相エマルジョン溶液を製造した。該逆相エマルジョン溶液を、液体窒素で予備凍結した後、凍結乾燥機(EYELA、FREEZE DRYER FD-1000)を用いて、トラップ冷却温度-45℃、真空度20Paにて24時間凍結乾燥した。得られた固形分を表4に示す量の酢酸エチルに分散させ、S/Oサスペンションを調製した。該S/Oサスペンションを10%Pluronic F-68含有水溶液2mlに滴下し、ボルテックスミキサーで撹拌・乳化させてS/O/W型エマルジョンを調製した。該S/O/W型エマルジョンから液中乾燥により水非混和性有機溶媒を除去して、抗原-アジュバント微粒子複合体分散液とした。該分散液を液体窒素で予備凍結した後、凍結乾燥機(EYELA、FREEZE DRYER FD-1000)を用いて、トラップ冷却温度-45℃、真空度20Paにて24時間凍結乾燥することで抗原-アジュバント微粒子複合体乾燥粉末を得た。抗原-アジュバント微粒子複合体の平均粒径を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM:株式会社日立製作所製 S-4800)により観察することで算出した結果を表4に示す。
抗原を含有したPLGA粒子に関しては既知の技術(インターナショナル・ジャーナル・オブ・ファーマスティックス、2007年、334号、137-148ページ)を用いて調製した。PLGA(SIGMA社製、平均分子量40,000-75,000)200mgを塩化メチレン 15mlに溶解させ13.3mg/mlのPLGA溶液を調製した。5mg/mlのOVA水溶液100μlを該ポリマー溶液2mlに19,000rpm(Polytron社製ホモジナイザー)で攪拌した状態で添加し、さらに5分間同様に攪拌することでW/O溶液を製造した。該W/O溶液を1%ポリビニルアルコール水溶液20mLに19,000rpmで攪拌した状態で添加し、さらに5分間同様に攪拌することでW/O/W溶液を製造した。該W/O/W溶液を200rpmで12時間攪拌した後に、液体窒素で予備凍結し、凍結乾燥機(EYELA、FREEZE DRYER FD-1000)を用いて、トラップ冷却温度-45℃、真空度20Paにて12時間凍結乾燥することで、抗原を含有したPLGA粒子を得た。得られた粒子を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM:株式会社日立製作所製 S-4800)により観察することで平均粒径を算出したところ、2μmであった。また、同様の方法でCEA水溶液(0.25mg/ml)を用いてPLGA粒子(2)を作製し、同様にSEMにて平均粒径を算出したところ、2μmであった。
<方法>
実施例3および4の方法で作成したCEA-アジュバント微粒子複合体またはその会合粒子(以下、CEA内包粒子という。)20mgを1.5mlエッペンドルフチューブに秤量し、1mlの緩衝液A(0.1%ウシ血清アルブミン、0.1%PluronicF-68および0.02%アジ化ナトリウムを含むPBS)に溶解して18,000×g、10分間の遠心により粒子(沈殿)と上清を分離した。上清を別のチューブに回収した後、粒子を1mlの緩衝液に再けん濁し、上記条件での遠心による粒子と上清の分離を再度行った。この洗浄操作をもう一度繰り返し(計3回遠心)、各遠心で回収した上清中のCEA濃度はELISAキット(Hope Laboratories社製 TM-201)を用いて測定した。
CEA内包粒子の抗原内包率は表5のようになり、いずれのCEA内包粒子も高い効率で抗原が内包されていることが示された。抗原の保持性は疎水グラフト鎖の短いDex-g-PLGA粒子(7)で低く、1週間の間に内包する抗原の67.3%が放出された。一方、疎水グラフト鎖が長くなるにつれ、抗原の保持性は上昇し、疎水グラフト鎖の長いDex-g-PLGA粒子では1週間後も仕込抗原の90%程度が含有されたままであった。PEG-PLGA粒子も1週間で4%程度の抗原が放出されるに留まり、高い抗原保持性を示した。

いずれの粒子も抗体価上昇効果を示した。OVAと抗原を含まない粒子(Dex-g-PLGA粒子(24))を混合して投与した場合、およびOVAとDex-g-PLGA粒子(24)を別々の場所に投与した場合に比べ、OVA内包会合粒子(Dex-g-PLGA粒子(23))が高い抗体価上昇効果を示した。
<方法>
評価は実施例7と同様の方法にて行った。CEAとAlumを混合して投与した場合のみ、0週目、2週目、4週目に合わせて3回の投与を行い、その他のCEA内包粒子および、CEA内包会合粒子は0週目に単回投与を行った。評価は同一のポリマーを用いて調製した粒径の異なる粒子、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(25)(粒径0.4μm、ポリマー含有量4mg、抗原投与量10μg)、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(26)(粒径5μm、ポリマー含有量4mg、抗原投与量10μg)、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(27)(粒径40μm、ポリマー含有量4mg、抗原投与量10μg)、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(28)(粒径0.4μm、ポリマー含有量4mg、抗原投与量1μg)を比較した。また、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(25)に関しては投与量を10分の1(ポリマー含有量400μg、抗原投与量1μg)、100分の1(ポリマー含有量40μg、抗原投与量0.1μg)に減らして投与した場合との比較を行った。比較例としては、CEAを内包させて調製したPLGA粒子(2)を評価した。それぞれの項目ごとに6匹のマウスに投与を行い血中の抗体価およびIgG1、IgG2aは実施例7と同様の方法で測定を行い、図10、図11ではその平均値を示した。
平均粒径0.4μmおよび平均粒径5μmのCEA内包粒子(Dex-g-PLGA粒子(25)(26))は、平均粒径40μmのCEA内包粒子(Dex-g-PLGA粒子(27))と比較し高い抗体価上昇効果を示した。Dex-g-PLGA粒子(25)が高い抗体価上昇効果を示したのに対し、その投与量を10分の1,100分の1と減らすことで、抗体価上昇効果は低下し、投与量を100分の1とした粒子では低い抗体価上昇効果しか持たなかった。抗原投与量1μgとした、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(25)10分の1量投与、Dex-g-PLGA粒子(28)のの比較では、投与ポリマー量が多い方が高い抗体価誘導効果を示した(図10)。
