Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a gene delivery system with higher safety and higher sustainability, which is effective for the treatment of ischemic diseases and the like, and the like. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, a polyanionic substance that suppresses expression of PHD2, and containing a polyion complex of the polyanionic substance and a polycation chargeable polymer.

Claims (33)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising, a polyion complex comprising a polyanionic substance as an active ingredient that suppresses the expression of PHD2, a polycation chargeable polymer, and glycosaminoglycan, which forms a ternary system complex of the polyion complex and glycosaminoglycan, wherein the polyanionic substance is selected from the group consisting of RNAi inducing nucleic acid against PHD2 or an expression vector thereof, antisense nucleic acid against PHD2 or an expression vector thereof, and a ribozyme against PHD2 or an expression vector thereof, and

the polycation chargeable polymer is a chargeable polymer represented by the following formula (III), a block copolymer represented by the following formula (I) or (II), or a salt thereof,

wherein,

R 10 is a hydroxy group, an oxybenzyl group or an NH—R 11 group, wherein R 11 is an optionally substituted straight chain or branched C 1-20 alkyl group,

R 1a and R 1b are each independently a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted straight chain or branched C 1-12 alkyl group,

R 2a , R 2b , R 2c and R 2d are each independently a methylene group or an ethylene group,

R 4 is a hydroxy group, a protecting group or a group represented by —O—X 3 , —S—X 3 , —NH—X 3 , or a polymerization initiator residue of polypeptide, wherein X 3 is a primary, secondary or tertiary amine compound, or an amine compound residue comprising one or more groups derived from a quaternary ammonium salt, or a non-amine compound residue,

R 5a , R 5b , R 5c and R 5d are each independently a hydroxy group, an oxybenzyl group or an NH—(CH 2 ) a —X group, wherein a is an integer of 1-5, X is each independently a primary, secondary or tertiary amine compound, or an amine compound residue comprising one or more groups derived from a quaternary ammonium salt, or a non-amine compound residue,

the total of R 5a and R 5b or R 5c and R 5d contains at least two —NH—(CH 2 ) a —X 1 groups (wherein X 1 is (NH(CH 2 ) 2 ) 2 ) e —NH 2 , and e is an integer of 1-5),

R 6a and R 6b are each independently a hydrogen atom or protecting group, wherein the protecting group is selected from the group consisting of a Z group, a Boc group, an acetyl group and a trifluoroacetyl group,

L 1 and L 2 are linking groups,

m is an integer of 5-20,000,

n is an integer of 2-5,000,

y is an integer of 0-5,000,

z is an integer of 0-5,000, and y+z is not larger than n, and

g is an integer of 0-15.

4. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein L 1 or L 2 has a disulfide bond.

5. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the glycosaminoglycan is chondroitin sulfate or a salt thereof.

6. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , which is for the treatment or prophylaxis of an ischemic disease or artery disease.

7. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 6 , wherein the ischemic disease or artery disease is selected from the group consisting of ischemic cardiac disease, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris, coronary sclerosis, cardiac failure, arteriosclerosis obliterans, Buerger's disease, vascular injury, artery obstruction, arterial thrombosis, organ artery obstruction, aneurysm, ischemic brain diseases, ischemic lung disease and renal infarction.

8. A method for the treatment or prophylaxis of an ischemic disease or artery disease, comprising a step of administering the pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 to a subject in need thereof.
