摘要:
There is provided a drug carrier which has solved the problems of conventional drug carriers, which can encapsulate a low molecular drug efficiently, which can control a sustained release period for a long term, which can control blood residence, which has high dispersibility in an aqueous solution, and which is not problematical in safety. A drug carrier, which comprises injectable fine particles minimal in agglomeration between the particles, and which has excellent biocompatibility, is also provided. A hyaluronic acid modification product comprising hyaluronic acid or its derivative, and a polymer bonded together, the polymer being selected from polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid and lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, according to the present invention, provides a drug carrier which encapsulates a low molecular drug efficiently, which can control a sustained release period for a long term, which can control blood residence, which is well dispersible in an aqueous solution, and which is not problematical in safety. The hyaluronic acid modification product of the present invention also provides a drug carrier comprising injectable fine particles minimal in agglomeration between the particles, and having excellent biocompatibility.
摘要:
A polyethylene glycol-modified erythropoietin (PEG-modified EPO) obtained by chemically modifying the lysine residue at the 52-position of natural erythropoietin (natural EPO) with polyethylene glycol. To enhance the long-lasting drug effect of EPO without damaging the physiological activity of EPO which is a sugar chain-rich glycoprotein, it has been required to develop a PEG-modified EPO having an extremely high long-lasting drug effect by introducing PEG into a controlled binding site at a controlled number of binding molecules. The above-described PEG-modified EPO shows a high long-lasting drug effect, thereby solving these problems.
摘要:
It is intended to provide PTH or a PTH derivative showing an improved bioavailability and little side effects without worsening the PTH activity. By binding PEG to PTH or a PTH derivative, the bioavailability can be improved and side effects can be relieved while sustaining the PTH activity.
