COMPOSITION FOR MEDICAL USE CONTAINING SUGAR CHAIN-CONTAINING CHITOSAN DERIVATIVE AND GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN

摘要

It is intended to provide a composition for medical use which has effects of positively promoting healing of an intractable wound and promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration while showing no risk of side effects such as cancerization. Namely, a composition for medical use characterized by comprising a hydrogel, which is formed by a sugar chain-containing chitosan derivative and an acidic polysaccharide, and a drug for promoting wound healing carried thereon. It is preferable that the sugar chain-containing chitosan derivative is one in which a saccharide having a reducing end is introduced at least a part of amino groups in the chitosan skeleton. It is preferable that the acidic polysaccharide is a glycosaminoglycan such as periodiate-oxidized heparin. It is preferable that the drug for promoting wound healing is a cell growth factor.
