PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pharmaceutical composition exhibiting a strong antioxidative action, a manufacturing method of the same and a sustainedly releasing substrate.SOLUTION: A pharmaceutical composition comprising a medicine, chitosan and pectinic acid and a manufacturing method of the same are provided. The pharmaceutical composition preferably comprising a composite of chitosan with pectinic acid and the manufacturing method of the same are provided. The sustainedly releasing substrate comprises chitosan and pectinic acid. The pharmaceutical composition exhibits a more excellent sustainedly releasing property than a sustainedly releasing substrate composed only of chitosan or only of pectinic acid and exhibits a higher antioxidative action than the sustainedly releasing substrate composed only of chitosan.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、高い抗酸化作用を有する医薬組成物、その製造方法及び徐放性基材の提供を課題とする。【解決手段】本発明は、薬物、キトサン及びペクチン酸を含む医薬組成物及びその製造方法を提供する。好ましくは、キトサンがペクチン酸と複合化してなる医薬組成物及びその製造方法を提供する。また、キトサン及びペクチン酸を含む徐放性基材を提供する。本発明は、キトサン単体又はペクチン酸単体の徐放性基材よりも徐放性に優れ、かつ、キトサン単体の徐放性基材よりも高い抗酸化作用を有する。【選択図】 図5
