The respiratory tract administration approach for treatment asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, reaches treatments such as those diseases that need the quick administration of general such as Cystic fibrosis, huge superiority is not only arranged, and be a kind of important therapeutic modality.But be different from general pharmaceutical preparation, the drug development that pulmonary absorbs has bigger technological challenge.Such as, the rational faculty of aerosol drug particles distributes, and the compatibility of drug particles and adjuvant and container all has high technical difficulty with the control of stability.The size that sucks microgranule is one of key issue that influences the aerosol preparations curative effect, and the suction granule of great majority above 5 microns will be trapped in the oral cavity or be stuck on the spout.Therefore, ideal inhalant particle size on average should reach the 2-3 micron, and 90% should be less than 5 microns.Yet; Even drug particles satisfies the particle diameter requirement of aerosol preparations, still exist effect suction microgranule to trend towards caking because of cohesiveness, form big granule; With the absorption affinity owing to other adjuvants in the microgranule, microgranule is adsorbed on the first-class technical bottleneck of the packing of product easily.
Therefore, for overcoming above-mentioned difficult point, in aerosol preparations, add surfactant and cosolvent usually.Surfactant can be stablized aerosol preparations drug particles or increase-volume medicine, also can play lubricated aerosol can and valve function.The cosolvent dispersion solvent of doing commonly used improves the dissolubility between surfactant and the propellant.For example U.S. Pat 5225183, US5439670, and what be primarily aimed at is drug molecules such as albuterol, beclometasone and ipratropium bromide.
In a word, the adaptability of contained concrete composition (comprising medicine, propellant, surfactant and cosolvent etc.) depends on the concrete selection of this special component in the whole preparation and suitability each other thereof in the aerosol preparations.
Yet those skilled in the art is difficult to infer whether certain drug molecule can form stable aerosol molecule under the situation that does not contain or contain cosolvent and/or surfactant, the very difficult stable aerosol formulation that obtains to meet clinical quality standard easily through the simple replacement of drug molecule.
