Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an ophthalmic composition for soft contact lenses. [Background technology]

[0002] Soft contact lenses are widely used because they contain a lot of water and are softer and more comfortable to wear than hard contact lenses. However, wearing soft contact lenses is known to cause discomfort such as eye inflammation, itching, and pain, as well as eye fatigue, blurred vision, and dry eyes. It has also been reported that soft contact lenses have a particular problem in that they tend to adsorb terpenoids (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0030] It is known that continuous wear of soft contact lenses can cause corneal damage and inflammation, so it is desirable for ophthalmic preparations that can be used while wearing soft contact lenses to have the effect of protecting corneal epithelial cells or repairing corneal tissue.

[0031] An ophthalmic composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, which contains component (A) and, as component (B), at least one selected from the group consisting of amino acids and salts thereof and a predetermined amount of sodium chondroitin sulfate, has an excellent effect of protecting corneal epithelial cells, as is clear from the test examples described below. Furthermore, the protection of corneal epithelial cells results in repair of corneal tissue. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an ophthalmic composition for soft contact lenses that has both the effect of protecting corneal epithelial cells and / or the effect of repairing corneal tissue.

[0032] It is also known that wearing soft contact lenses can cause discomfort, pain, or stinging in the eyes due to corneal damage or inflammation, dry eyes, etc. (pain so severe that it becomes difficult to keep the eyes open when the dryness of the eyes progresses, or a sharp, tingling pain when removing soft contact lenses). Therefore, it is desirable for an ophthalmic preparation that can be used while wearing soft contact lenses to also have the effect of suppressing discomfort, pain, and stinging in the eyes.

[0033] An ophthalmic composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, which contains predetermined amounts of neostigmine methylsulfate and chlorpheniramine maleate as components (A) and (B), has the effect of suppressing discomfort, pain, and / or stinging caused by wearing soft contact lenses, as is clear from the test examples described below. Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an ophthalmic composition for soft contact lenses which has the effects of suppressing discomfort, discomfort, pain, and / or stinging caused by wearing soft contact lenses.

[0034] The pH of the ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is within a medicamentarily, pharmacologically (pharmaceutical), or physiologically acceptable range, and may be, for example, 4.0 to 9.5, 4.0 to 9.0, 4.5 to 9.0, 4.5 to 8.5, 5.0 to 8.5, 5.0 to 8.0, 5.5 to 7.5, or 6.0 to 7.0.

[0035] The ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment can be adjusted to have an osmotic pressure ratio within a biologically acceptable range, as needed. The appropriate osmotic pressure ratio can be appropriately determined depending on the intended use, formulation, and method of use of the ophthalmic composition, but can be, for example, 0.4 to 5.0, preferably 0.6 to 3.0, more preferably 0.8 to 2.2, and even more preferably 0.8 to 2.0. The osmotic pressure ratio is defined as the ratio of the osmotic pressure of the sample to 286 mOsm (the osmotic pressure of a 0.9 w / v% sodium chloride aqueous solution) in accordance with the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, 17th Edition, and is measured using the osmotic pressure measurement method (freezing point depression method) described in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. The standard solution for measuring osmolality ratios (0.9 w / v% sodium chloride aqueous solution) can be prepared by drying sodium chloride (Japanese Pharmacopoeia standard reagent) at 500-650°C for 40-50 minutes, allowing it to cool in a desiccator (silica gel), accurately weighing 0.900 g of the solution, and dissolving it in purified water to make exactly 100 mL; alternatively, a commercially available standard solution for measuring osmolality ratios (0.9 w / v% sodium chloride aqueous solution) can be used.

[0036] The viscosity of the ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is within a medicamentarily, pharmacologically (pharmaceutical), or physiologically acceptable range. The viscosity of the ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment may be, for example, 1 to 10,000 mPa·s, 1 to 8,000 mPa·s, 1 to 1,000 mPa·s, 1 to 100 mPa·s, 1 to 20 mPa·s, or 1 to 10 mPa·s as measured at 20°C using a rotational viscometer (TV-20 type viscometer, manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd., rotor: 1°34'×R24).

[0037] The ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment may contain, in addition to the above-mentioned components, a combination of various pharmacologically active components and physiologically active components in appropriate amounts, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0052] The present invention will be specifically explained below based on test examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0053] [Test Example 1: Evaluation of suppression of component adsorption onto soft contact lenses (1)] Ophthalmic compositions of each formulation example were prepared according to the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2 in accordance with conventional methods. Soft contact lenses (Johnson & Johnson, 2-week Acuvue, Group IV) were washed with saline (Otsuka saline). 4 mL of saline was dispensed into each well of a 12-well plate (Falcon, product number 353043), and each soft contact lens was immersed in the solution for at least 4 hours at room temperature. After immersion, the solution adhering to the soft contact lens was wiped off with a nonwoven wiper (Bencotto, PS-2, Ozu Sangyo). Next, 10 mL of each ophthalmic composition prepared above for each formulation example was poured into a PFA bottle (Sanplatec, product number SAN13905), and one soft contact lens was immersed in the solution. The bottle was then shaken at 120 rpm and 34°C for 24 hours. Next, for each formulation, the neostigmine methylsulfate and chlorpheniramine maleate contained in the sample ophthalmic composition (in which a soft contact lens was soaked) and the blank ophthalmic composition (in which a soft contact lens was not soaked and stored at 4°C for 24 hours) were quantified by HPLC, and the difference was taken as the amount of neostigmine methylsulfate and chlorpheniramine maleate adsorbed to the soft contact lens. Next, the adsorption rate of each formulation was calculated using the following formula 1, assuming the adsorption rate of the reference formulation to be 100%. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. For prescription examples 1-2 and 1-3, the reference prescription example is 1-1, for prescription examples 1-5 and 1-6, the reference prescription example is 1-4, for prescription example 1-8, the reference prescription example is 1-7, and for prescription example 1-10, the reference prescription example is 1-9. (Equation 1): Adsorption rate (%) relative to the standard formulation example = (adsorption amount of the formulation example / adsorption amount of the standard formulation example) × 100

[0054] [Table 1]

[0055] [Table 2]

[0056] In the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-2 and 1-5, which were prepared by blending vitamin A and chlorpheniramine maleate into the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-1 and 1-4, each of which contained only neostigmine methylsulfate as an active ingredient, adsorption of neostigmine methylsulfate to soft contact lenses was significantly suppressed compared to the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-1 and 1-4. Furthermore, in the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-3 and 1-6, which were prepared by blending vitamin A, chlorpheniramine maleate, aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate into the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-1 and 1-4, adsorption of neostigmine methylsulfate to soft contact lenses was even more significantly suppressed compared to the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 1-1 and 1-4.

[0057] In the ophthalmic compositions of Formulation Examples 1-8 and 1-10, which were formulated with vitamin A, neostigmine methylsulfonate, aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate in addition to the ophthalmic compositions of Formulation Examples 1-7 and 1-9, which contained only chlorpheniramine maleate as an active ingredient, the adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to soft contact lenses was suppressed compared to the ophthalmic compositions of Formulation Examples 1-7 and 1-9.

[0058] Test Example 2: Evaluation of suppression of diameter change of soft contact lenses Ophthalmic compositions for soft contact lenses are required not to affect the physical properties (color, shape, hardness, fragility, etc.) of soft contact lenses, and changes in the lens properties (diameter, base curve, etc.) affect fitting, causing a foreign body sensation or discomfort in the eye and making the soft contact lens more likely to come off. Therefore, an ophthalmic composition that can suppress changes in the diameter of soft contact lenses is evaluated as being able to suppress the foreign body sensation and / or discomfort in the eye caused by wearing soft contact lenses.

[0059] (method) Ophthalmic compositions of each formulation example were prepared according to the compositions shown in Tables 3 to 5 in accordance with conventional methods. Soft contact lens 1 (Alcon, Focus Dailies, Group II, diameter manufacturer's standard: 13.80 mm) and soft contact lens 2 (Johnson & Johnson, 2-week Acuvue, Group IV, diameter manufacturer's standard: 14.00 mm) were washed with saline (Otsuka saline). Four milliliters of saline was dispensed into each well of a 12-well plate (Falcon, product number 353043), and each soft contact lens was immersed in the solution for at least four hours at room temperature. After immersion, the solution adhering to the soft contact lens was wiped off with a nonwoven wiper (Bencotto, PS-2, Ozu Sangyo). Next, 10 mL of the ophthalmic composition of each formulation example prepared above was poured into a PFA bottle (Sanplatec, product number SAN13905), and one soft contact lens was immersed in the solution. The solution was then shaken at 120 rpm and 34°C for 24 hours. Next, each soft contact lens was immersed in the ophthalmic composition of each prescription example, and the temperature was kept constant at 20°C, and the diameter of the soft contact lens was measured using a universal projector (Nikon, V-12B). The difference between the measured diameter and the manufacturer's standard value for the diameter of the soft contact lens was then taken as the diameter change, and the diameter change rate for each prescription example was calculated according to the following formula 2, assuming that the diameter change for the reference prescription example was 100%. The results are shown in Tables 3 to 5. For prescription example 2-2, the reference prescription example is 2-1, for prescription example 2-4, the reference prescription example is 2-3, for prescription example 2-6, the reference prescription example is 2-5, and for prescription example 2-8, the reference prescription example is 2-7. (Equation 2): Diameter change rate (%) relative to the reference prescription example = (diameter change of prescription example / diameter change of reference prescription example) × 100

[0060] [Table 3]

[0061] [Table 4]

[0062] [Table 5]

[0063] The ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-2 and 2-4, which were formulated by compounding vitamin A, neostigmine methylsulfonate, aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate with the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-1 and 2-3, each containing only chlorpheniramine maleate as an active ingredient, suppressed the rate of change in diameter of soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-1 and 2-3, respectively.

[0064] The ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-6 and 2-8, which were formulated with vitamin A, chlorpheniramine maleate, aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate in addition to the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-5 and 2-7, each containing only neostigmine methylsulfate as the active ingredient, suppressed the rate of change in diameter of the soft contact lens compared to the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 2-5 and 2-7, respectively.

[0065] [Test Example 3: Nav1.7 Current Measurement Test] It has been reported that when the phosphorylation and expression of ion channels involved in pain sensation, including Nav1.7, are enhanced by wearing soft contact lenses, etc., nerve excitability increases, inducing eye pain (e.g., The Ocular Surface, Vol. 16(1), January 2018, pp. 31-44). Therefore, an ophthalmic composition that can inhibit Nav1.7 current is evaluated as being able to suppress the sense of incongruity, discomfort, pain, and / or stinging in the eyes caused by wearing soft contact lenses.

[0066] (method) Test solutions for each formulation example were prepared according to the compositions shown in Table 6 in a conventional manner. hNav1.7-expressing CHO cells were seeded on glass coverslips. Under voltage clamp, Nav1.7 current across the cell membrane was recorded using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. The holding potential was set at -100 mV, and 30-msec depolarizing pulses of -20 mV were applied to the cells once every 10 seconds. After the peak inward Nav1.7 current stabilized in the extracellular solution, the test solution of each formulation was applied to the cells for 5 minutes. Nav1.7 current was measured using a patch clamp amplifier (Axopatch 200B, Molecular Devices LLC, California, USA), and the resulting electrical signals were recorded on a computer using patch clamp recording analysis software (pCLAMP 10, Molecular Devices LLC, California, USA). The peak Nav1.7 current was measured, and the percentage change in Nav1.7 current after application of each formulation relative to the Nav1.7 current before application (Nav1.7 current inhibition rate) was calculated. The inhibition rate of Formulation Example 3-2 was calculated based on the following formula 3, assuming that the inhibition rate of Formulation Example 3-1 was 100. The results are shown in Table 6. (Equation 3): Nav1.7 current suppression rate for the reference formulation = (Nav1.7 current suppression rate for each formulation / Nav1.7 current suppression rate for formulation example 3-1) × 100 The extracellular fluid used was an aqueous solution having the following composition to which DMSO was added so as to make a concentration of 0.5 w / v %. NaCl: 140mmol / L, KCl: 4mmol / L, CaCl2: 2mmol / L, MgCl2: 1mmol / L, HEPES: 10mmol / L, D(+)-glucose: 10mmol / L (adjusted to pH 7.35 with 1mol / L NaOH)

[0067] [Table 6]

[0068] It was confirmed that Formulation Example 3-2, which contains vitamin A, neostigmine methylsulfate, and chlorpheniramine maleate as active ingredients, suppresses the Nav1.7 current by about 2.8 times compared to Formulation Example 3-1, which contains only vitamin A as the active ingredient. Therefore, the ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment can significantly suppress the discomfort, pain, and / or stinging sensation in the eyes caused by wearing soft contact lenses.

[0069] Test Example 4: Corneal epithelial cell proliferation test Test solutions for each formulation example were prepared according to the compositions shown in Table 7 in a conventional manner. Immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (HCE-T) (RIKEN) were cultured at 6 × 10 3 Cells were seeded into a 96-well plate (Corning 3340) at 100 cells / well and cultured for 3 days at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 90% humidity. Each test solution prepared above was added to the cells after removing the culture supernatant, and the cells were cultured for another 3 days at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 90% humidity. The culture supernatant was removed, and a solution of Cell Counting Kit 8 (DOJINDO) diluted 10-fold with culture medium was added to the cells. After 1 hour, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured. The test solution (Formulation Example 4-1) containing no vitamin A, sodium chondroitin sulfate, or aminoethylsulfonic acid was used as a control group. The cell viability of each formulation was evaluated based on the following formula 4, with the cell viability of the control group being set at 100%. In formula 4, "blank" refers to the absorbance at 450 nm of the WST-8 solution without cells seeded. The results are shown in Table 7. (Equation 4) Cell viability (%) for the reference formulation = {(absorbance at 450 nm for each formulation - blank) / (absorbance at 450 nm for formulation example 4-1 - blank)} x 100 The culture medium used was DMEM / F-12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium / Nutrient Mixture F-12, Gibco) supplemented with insulin (5 μg / mL), hEGF (10 μg / mL), sterile DMSO (0.5%), and FBS (5%).

[0070] [Table 7]

[0071] In Formulation Example 4-2, which contained only vitamin A as the active ingredient, the cell viability was almost unchanged compared to the control Formulation Example 4-1. On the other hand, in Formulation Example 4-3, which contained vitamin A, sodium chondroitin sulfate, and aminoethylsulfonic acid as active ingredients, the cell viability was significantly higher than that of the control Formulation Example 4-1 (p<0.05, Dunnett's test). Therefore, it was confirmed that the ophthalmic composition according to this embodiment has an excellent protective effect on corneal epithelial cells.

[0072] Test Example 5: Evaluation of suppression of adsorption of ingredients to soft contact lenses (2) Ophthalmic compositions of each formulation example were prepared according to the compositions shown in Tables 8 to 10 in accordance with conventional methods. Soft contact lens 3 (Johnson & Johnson, 2-week Acuvue, Group IV) and soft contact lens 4 (Alcon, Focus Dailies, Group II) were washed with saline (Otsuka saline). 4 mL of saline was dispensed into each well of a 12-well plate (Falcon, product number 353043), and each soft contact lens was immersed in the solution for at least 4 hours at room temperature. After immersion, the solution adhering to the soft contact lens was wiped off with a nonwoven wiper (Bencotto, PS-2, Ozu Sangyo). Next, 10 mL of each of the ophthalmic compositions prepared above was poured into a 10 mL glass headspace vial (GL Sciences), and one soft contact lens was immersed in the solution. The solution was then shaken at 120 rpm and 34°C for 24 hours. Next, for each formulation, the neostigmine methylsulfate and chlorpheniramine maleate contained in the sample ophthalmic composition (in which a soft contact lens was soaked) and the blank ophthalmic composition (in which a soft contact lens was not soaked and stored at 4°C for 24 hours) were quantified by HPLC, and the difference was taken as the amount of neostigmine methylsulfate and chlorpheniramine maleate adsorbed to the soft contact lens. The adsorption rate of each formulation was then calculated using the following formula 1, assuming the adsorption rate of the reference formulation to be 100%. The results are shown in Tables 8 to 10. The reference prescription example for prescription examples 5-2 to 5-5 is prescription example 5-1, the reference prescription example for prescription examples 5-7 to 5-10 is prescription example 5-6, and the reference prescription example for prescription examples 5-12 to 5-14 is prescription example 5-11. (Equation 1): Adsorption rate (%) relative to the standard formulation example = (adsorption amount of the formulation example / adsorption amount of the standard formulation example) × 100

[0073] [Table 8]

[0074] [Table 9]

[0075] [Table 10]

[0076] When soft contact lens 3 was used, the amount of neostigmine methylsulfate adsorbed to the soft contact lens was significantly increased in the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-2, which further contained vitamin A (50,000 IU / 100 mL) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1, which contained only neostigmine methylsulfate as the active ingredient, compared to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1. In contrast, the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-3, which further contained vitamin A (40,000 IU / 100 mL) and chlorpheniramine maleate (0.01 w / v%) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1, suppressed adsorption of neostigmine methylsulfate to soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1, and the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-4, which further contained vitamin A (50,000 IU / 100 mL) and chlorpheniramine maleate (0.03 w / v%) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1, significantly suppressed adsorption of neostigmine methylsulfate to soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-1. Furthermore, the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-5, which further contained vitamin A (50,000 IU / 100 mL), chlorpheniramine maleate (0.03 w / v%), aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-1, showed a more significant inhibition of adsorption of neostigmine methylsulfate to soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-1.

[0077] When soft contact lens 3 was used, the ophthalmic compositions of Prescription Examples 5-7 and 5-8, which further contained vitamin A (50,000 IU / 100 mL) or neostigmine methylsulfate (0.005 w / v%) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-6 containing only chlorpheniramine maleate as the active ingredient, showed adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to the soft contact lens to the same extent as the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-6. In contrast, the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-9, which further contained vitamin A (40,000 IU / 100 mL), neostigmine methylsulfonate (0.001 w / v%), aminoethylsulfonic acid (0.1 w / v%), and sodium chondroitin sulfate (0.05 w / v%) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-6, suppressed adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-6. The ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-10, which further contained vitamin A (50,000 IU / 100 mL), neostigmine methylsulfonate (0.005 w / v%), aminoethylsulfonic acid (1 w / v%), and sodium chondroitin sulfate (0.5 w / v%) in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-6, significantly suppressed adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to soft contact lenses compared to the ophthalmic composition of Formulation Example 5-6.

[0078] When soft contact lens 4 was used, the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-12, which further contained neostigmine methylsulfate in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-11 containing only chlorpheniramine maleate as an active ingredient, showed adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to the soft contact lens to the same extent as the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-11. However, the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-13, which further contained vitamin A, neostigmine methylsulfonic acid, aminoethylsulfonic acid, and sodium chondroitin sulfate in addition to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-11, showed significantly reduced adsorption of chlorpheniramine maleate to the soft contact lens compared to the ophthalmic composition of Prescription Example 5-11.
