Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin patch composition and a tape preparation. [Background technology]

[0002] A patch is a skin patch applied between a support and a release liner. The patch, primarily composed of a lipophilic polymer, has strong adhesive properties to the skin. This allows for the administration of medicinal ingredients by applying the patch once or twice a day or once every few days. It is also resistant to peeling and suitable for application to mobile areas, making it widely used. However, while strong adhesive properties enhance the penetration and absorption of medicinal ingredients and reduce the risk of peeling, they can also cause skin irritation, such as rashes. Furthermore, strong adhesive properties tend to exfoliate keratin cells upon removal, potentially increasing skin irritation. Furthermore, since patches are often used over long periods of time, repeated exfoliation can lead to discontinuation of treatment with the patch. Therefore, a need exists for a patch that uses a skin patch with excellent adhesive properties and minimal skin irritation.

[0003] Various methods have been proposed to reduce skin irritation, including a tape preparation with low skin irritation that uses a support with a large pore volume (Patent Document 1), a preparation with adjusted moisture evaporation (Patent Document 2), a method in which isostearic acid and a fatty acid having 10 to 18 carbon atoms that is liquid at room temperature are blended into an adhesive base (Patent Document 3), a method in which a sucrose fatty acid ester is included in an adhesive base (Patent Document 4), and a patch that reduces the adhesive strength of the paste to reduce damage to the stratum corneum when removed (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0006] However, these methods have not been completely satisfactory in their effectiveness. Furthermore, problems have arisen, such as a decrease in adhesiveness, which can cause the tape to peel off, or a decrease in adhesion to the skin, which can prevent the medicinal ingredients from fully exerting their effects. Therefore, while skin irritation has been addressed by changing the application site for medicinal ingredients that act systemically, the use of tape preparations has sometimes been abandoned for medicinal ingredients that act locally. Therefore, there has been a need for the development of a skin patch that has excellent adhesive strength, minimal skin irritation, and is safe, stable, and has excellent transdermal absorption.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a skin patch composition that has excellent adhesive strength and little skin irritation, and further to provide a tape preparation using the skin patch composition. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] As a result of intensive research, the present inventors have discovered that a skin patch composition containing a specific ratio of a medicinal ingredient, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (hereinafter abbreviated as SIS), liquid paraffin, and a tackifier not only achieves extremely high adhesion to the skin, but also has excellent adhesive strength, extremely little stratum corneum peeling, and little skin irritation. Having confirmed that a tape using this skin patch composition is excellent in safety, efficacy, and stability, the present invention has been completed.

[3] The adhesive composition for skin application according to [1] or [2], wherein the styrene / isoprene ratio of the SIS is in the range of 14 / 86 to 25 / 75. [4] The adhesive base composition for skin application according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein the SIS is in the ranges of specific gravity 0.90 to 0.95, hardness (ISO 7619) 20 to 45, tensile strength (ISO37) 2 to 35 MPa, 300% modulus (ISO37) 0.1 to 3 MPa, and elongation at break (ISO37) 1000 to 1800%. [5] The adhesive composition for skin application according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the specific gravity of the liquid paraffin is 0.83 to 0.89. [6] The adhesive base composition for application to skin according to any one of [1] to [5], wherein the tackifier is one or two selected from alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon resins and polyterpene resins. [7] The adhesive composition for skin application according to any one of [1] to [6], further comprising one or more selected from essential oil components, absorption enhancers, adhesive base materials and anti-aging agents. [8] A tape preparation having the adhesive base composition for skin application according to any one of [1] to [7] on a support in a thickness of 10 to 500 μm. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The composition of the present invention makes it possible to provide a skin patch that has high skin adhesion and strong adhesive strength, yet causes minimal keratin peeling and is less irritating to the skin.Furthermore, it makes it possible to provide a tape that has excellent adhesive strength, safely maximizes the pharmacological effects of the medicinal ingredients, is easy to use, and has an excellent feel when used.

[0022] The adhesive composition for skin application of the present invention can be produced by kneading the above-mentioned components, for example, with a heated kneader, etc. After preparing the adhesive composition for skin application, the adhesive is spread onto one side of a flexible backing or release liner by a conventional method such as the hot melt method, and then the release liner or backing is attached to produce a tape (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a patch).

[0023] The adhesive strength of the adhesive base for skin application (hereinafter also referred to as adhesive base) of the present invention obtained as described above is preferably between 1 N / cm and 3 N / cm, more preferably between 1 N / cm and 2.8 N / cm, and even more preferably between 1 N / cm and 2.5 N / cm, as measured by the 180° peel test method. The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is measured in accordance with the 180° peel test of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. The tape, which had been left at room temperature (near 25°C) for at least one hour, is cut to a width of 50 mm and a length of approximately 100 mm. A 50mm wide, 20mm long plastic plate is attached to one end of the testing machine's jig to serve as a grip. A 50mm wide, 80mm long tape is applied to a carbon test plate measuring at least 70mm wide and 150mm long, with one end aligned. A 2kg pressure roller is immediately moved back and forth over the tape at a speed of approximately 10mm per second. Immediately after application, the tape is placed in a constant temperature bath heated to 32°C for one hour. Using a tensile tester, the free end of the product with the attached plastic plate is clamped between the upper jig and the test end between the lower jig, and the two are peeled off at a speed of 300mm per minute. The first 25% of the measured length was ignored, and the adhesive strength of the next 50% of the length peeled from the test plate was averaged. The results are shown in Table 3 (Reference: Japanese Pharmacopoeia, 18th Edition).

[0024] The viscosity (complex modulus) of the adhesive base for skin application of the present invention is preferably 1500 Pa·s to 4000 Pa·s, more preferably 1600 Pa·s to 3800 Pa·s, and even more preferably 1700 Pa·s to 3500 Pa·s. The viscosity of the adhesive base is measured using a rheometer by melting the base on the lower plate, sandwiching it between the upper cone-plate plates, and cooling it to 32°C. Strain-dependent measurements are performed to determine the strain rate in the linear region. Frequency-dependent measurements are performed at this strain rate to measure the complex modulus [Pa·s] at a frequency of 1 Hz. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0025] In a 30% elongation test, the tape preparation of the present invention is preferably 3 N / 5 cm or less in the long side direction and 6 N / 5 cm or less in the short side direction, more preferably 2.8 N / 5 cm or less in the long side direction and 5.6 N / 5 cm or less in the short side direction, and even more preferably 2.6 N / 5 cm or less in the long side direction and 5.4 N / 5 cm or less in the short side direction. Here, the test method for the 30% elongation test of the tape preparation is as follows: First, the tape preparation is cut into a specimen piece in the long direction, 50 mm wide and 100 mm long, and a specimen piece in the short direction, 50 mm wide and 70 mm long. Plastic plates, 50 mm wide and 20 mm long, are attached to both ends of the long side to serve as jig grips. Plastic plates, 50 mm wide and 5 mm long, are attached to the short side to serve as jig grips. Using a tensile tester, both ends are clamped in the jig. The distance between the grips is set to 60 mm in both the long and short side directions, and the specimen is pulled at a rate of 200 mm per minute. The stress per unit width [N / 5 cm] is measured when the elongation rate relative to the distance between the grips of the specimen is 30% (the distance between the grips of the specimen is 78 mm). The results are shown in Table 5.

[0026] The fluidity of the adhesive base for skin application of the present invention is preferably 40 to 400 μm, more preferably 60 to 400 μm. The fluidity of the adhesive was measured by first digging a groove of about 400 μm in an acrylic plate at room temperature and then applying a tape on the groove. 2With a weight of 100g placed on top, the sample was left in a thermostatic chamber at 40°C. After leaving it for 3 hours, it was observed under a microscope and the distance that the paste had penetrated into the groove was measured. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0027] The amount of stratum corneum peeled from the adhesive base for skin application of the present invention is preferably 40% or less, more preferably 38% or less. The amount of stratum corneum peeling was measured by applying the tape to the lower backs of 30 healthy adult males for 6 hours. After removing the tape from the lower back, approximately 2 mL of a 0.5% Brilliant Green / 1% Gentian Violet mixed solution was applied to the adhesive surface of the tape and allowed to stand for 1 hour. After rinsing with water 10 times and air-drying, the stained stratum corneum on the surface of the tape was observed under a microscope, and images were taken of three random locations. Image processing software (ImageJ) was used to determine the area of the stained area per field of view of the obtained images (stratum corneum peeling area), and the percentage of the peeled area was calculated as the amount of stratum corneum peeling. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0028] In the present invention, the thickness of the paste varies depending on the type and concentration of the active ingredient, the area of the tape, etc., but is preferably in the range of 10 to 500 μm, more preferably 20 to 400 μm, and even more preferably 35 to 250 μm.

[0029] Any type of flexible sheet-like support can be used as long as the adhesive layer does not penetrate to the backside. Specific examples of sheet-like supports that can be used in the present invention include woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, and plastic films such as polyolefin films, polyvinyl alcohol films, vinyl chloride films, urethane alloy and urethane-vinyl chloride copolymer films, and ethylene-vinyl acetate films; foam films made from blends of acrylic or polystyrene-polybutadiene and polyisoprene; films obtained by vapor-depositing metal onto the above films; and sheets obtained by laminating two or more of these films. The thickness of the support is typically about 1000 μm or less, preferably in the range of 30 to 700 μm. Release liners include those having a release layer formed on their surface that has release properties, such as plastic films treated with silicone resin. The tape preparation applied as described above is produced by cutting it to an optimum size depending on the dosage of the medicinal ingredient and packaging it as necessary.

[0030] The tape preparation using the adhesive composition for skin application of the present invention thus obtained is used by applying it to the skin.

[0031] In addition to the above-mentioned formulation additives, the skin patch composition of the present invention may also contain one or more pharmaceutical additives typically used in topical pharmaceuticals, such as stabilizers, preservatives, buffers, suspending agents, emulsifiers, flavoring agents, solubilizers, antiseptics, solubilizers, and surfactants.
