NIBUTとは、非侵襲性涙液層破壊時間の略であり、BUTの中でも、染色剤等の負荷をかけずに、より自然の状態に近い方法で測定したBUTである。
下記表1に従い、実施例1~3、及び比較例1~4の点眼剤をホモミキサーおよび攪拌式乳化機を組み合わせて調製し、試験液とした。尚、表1の処方中、ゴマ油、ポリソルベート80はそれぞれ第十五改正日本薬局方適合品を用い、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油60は日本における医薬品添加物規格2003適合品を用い、ポロクサマー407は日本における医薬品添加物規格2003適合品を用いた。
調製後の各試験液について、エマルションの平均粒子径を測定した。平均粒子径の測定は、動的光散乱(光子相関法)による粒子径測定装置(FPAR-1000(大塚電子))を用いて行った。詳細な測定条件は以下の通りである。測定結果を表1に併記する。
温度 25℃
NDフィルター AUTO
プローブ 濃厚用
角度 160°
測定時間 180秒間
繰り返し回数 1回
ダストカット 10回(upper10%、lower100%)
光量調整
ホモダイン光量最適 30000cps MAX 50000cps MIN 10000cps
平均粒子径解析手法
キュムラント法解析
溶媒条件
屈折率 1.3313
尚、動的光散乱による粒子径測定では、試験液の粘度が測定結果に影響する可能性がある。本試験例における試験液の粘度付近では殆ど影響が無いと考えられるものの、より精密な測定結果を得るため、念のために粘度補正を行った。具体的には、音叉式粘度計(Viscometer SV-10(A&D))で試験液の粘度を測定し、その粘度測定値を粒子径測定時に入力し、結果解析の際にその補正を加えた上で結果を得た。
NIBUTの測定は、インターフェロメーターDR-1(興和株式会社)を用いて開瞼維持による涙液破綻までの時間を計測することで行った。本試験の被験者としてはNIBUTが10秒以下の者から28眼を選抜した。表1に記載の8種類の点眼剤から無作為に異なる2種類を選択し、被験者の左右眼に割りつけて、各点眼剤について3例(すなわち3眼)ずつ試験を行った。尚、点眼方法としては、各点眼薬につきそれぞれ1滴ずつ単回点眼を行った。点眼直後にNIBUTを計測し、下記式に基づいて点眼液による涙液安定性の改善効果を評価した。結果を図1に示す。

細胞生存率(%)=100×(各サンプル処置群の発光値)/(対照群の吸光度の発光値)
