The problem that in the prior art, due to the fact that the formoterol fumarate is slightly soluble in ethanol, after the formoterol fumarate is placed for a long time, the particle size of the drug is aggregated, so that the concentration of the drug liquid is uneven, and the uniformity of the delivered dose of the drug is affected is solved. The invention provides a medical aerosol preparation and a quantitative inhalation aerosol, and the medical aerosol preparation can still effectively ensure the dose of micro-fine particles in the medical aerosol preparation after being stored for a certain time, and ensure the uniformity of delivered dose.
In order to solve the problems, the medical aerosol preparation and the quantitative inhalation aerosol provided by the invention solve the problems by the following technical points: a medical aerosol preparation comprises an active ingredient and a liquefied propellant as a solvent of the active ingredient, wherein the active ingredient comprises mometasone furoate and fomesartamine fumarate, the liquefied propellant is hydrofluorocarbon, the medical aerosol preparation further comprises ethanol and span 80 which are added into the liquefied propellant, and the weight ratio of the span 80 in the aerosol preparation is 0.01-0.1% w/w.
In particular, in view of the above-mentioned problem that ethanol affects uniformity of a drug delivery dose, oleic acid is added to an aerosol formulation in the prior art, but the uniformity of the drug delivery dose gradually deteriorates as the time during which the aerosol formulation is left alone increases.
In the scheme, span 80 is added into the aerosol preparation as a surfactant, so that the span 80 can keep the concentration of the liquid medicine uniform for a long time, and the aim of increasing the stability of the liquid medicine is fulfilled. The limitation on the addition amount of the span 80 aims to ensure that the span 80 has the suspending and lubricating effects and simultaneously the excessive content does not influence the generation of medicinal aerosol and reduce the dosage of fine particles.
As a further technical scheme of the medical aerosol preparation, in order to enable effective components in the aerosol preparation to be effectively distributed or deposited on bronchus, bronchiole and lung of a human body, the mometasone furoate and the formoterol fumarate are micro-powder with a median particle size of less than 5 microns obtained by air flow pulverization. In the scheme, because a certain amount of span 80 is added into the aerosol preparation, the active ingredients with the median particle size have larger surface energy, but are still not easy to be adsorbed on the surface of a container.
As an implementation scheme of the liquefied propellant which is beneficial to environmental protection, the hydrofluorocarbon is HFA 134a, HFA227 or a mixture of the two.
Meanwhile, the invention also discloses a medical quantitative inhalation aerosol, which comprises a medical aerosol preparation and a pressurized metered dose inhaler for containing the preparation, wherein the preparation is the medical aerosol preparation provided by any one of the schemes.
The aerosol adopts the aerosol preparation provided by any scheme, and due to the special performance of the aerosol preparation, the aerosol product can keep uniform concentration of liquid medicine for a long time, so that the aim of keeping the stability of the product performance of the aerosol is fulfilled.
As a further technical scheme of the medical quantitative inhalation aerosol, the pressurized metered dose inhaler comprises a containing tank, a metering valve and an actuator, wherein the containing tank is made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, and a part or the whole wall surface inside the containing tank is coated with perfluorocarbon high polymer.
The containing tank is used as a storage container of aerosol preparation, because a natural oxide film on the surface of the common magnesium-aluminum alloy is thin and soft, has poor density and uneven surface, particles in the medicine are easily adsorbed, and magnesium, aluminum elements and the like on the surface layer of the containing tank can infiltrate into the liquid medicine. According to the scheme, the perfluorocarbon high polymer is partially or completely coated on the inner wall of the accommodating tank, so that a layer of compact coating can be formed on the coated part, meanwhile, the surface of the coating is compact and flat, medicine particles are not easy to adsorb, and the contact between an aerosol preparation and the accommodating tank body is avoided.

Detailed Description
The invention provides a medical aerosol preparation and a quantitative inhalation aerosol, which are used for solving the following problems: in the prior art, because the fumagillol is slightly soluble in ethanol, the particle size of the medicine can be gathered after the fumarol is placed for a long time, so that the concentration of the medicine liquid is not uniform, and the uniformity of the medicine delivery dosage is influenced. After the medical aerosol preparation is stored for a certain time, the dose of the micro-fine particles in the medical aerosol preparation can still be effectively ensured, and the uniformity of the delivered dose is ensured.
The scheme provided by the invention is that span 80 is added into the aerosol preparation as a surfactant, and the purposes of keeping the concentration of the liquid medicine uniform for a long time and increasing the stability of the liquid medicine can be achieved by limiting the addition amount of the span 80. The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples, but the apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the following examples:
example 1:
a medical aerosol preparation comprises an active ingredient and a liquefied propellant as a solvent of the active ingredient, wherein the active ingredient comprises mometasone furoate and fomesartamine fumarate, the liquefied propellant is hydrofluorocarbon, the medical aerosol preparation further comprises ethanol and span 80 which are added into the liquefied propellant, and the weight ratio of the span 80 in the aerosol preparation is 0.01-0.1% w/w.
In particular, in view of the above-mentioned problem that ethanol affects uniformity of a drug delivery dose, oleic acid is added to an aerosol formulation in the prior art, but the uniformity of the drug delivery dose gradually deteriorates as the time during which the aerosol formulation is left alone increases.
In the scheme, span 80 is added into the aerosol preparation as a surfactant, so that the span 80 can keep the concentration of the liquid medicine uniform for a long time, and the aim of increasing the stability of the liquid medicine is fulfilled. The limitation on the addition amount of the span 80 aims to ensure that the span 80 has the suspending and lubricating effects and simultaneously the excessive content does not influence the generation of medicinal aerosol and reduce the dosage of fine particles.
In this example, the effect of adding span 80 to an aerosol formulation on drug solution fine particle metering (FPD) and delivery metering uniformity (DCU) was verified using the following comparative experiments.
The following comparative tests included five formulations, with the data on the right hand side of each component in each formulation being the weight ratio of the component in the aerosol formulation, where "to 100%" indicates that the other components of the aerosol formulation are heptafluoropropane, except for the other components at the specified weight ratios.

Prescription 5
The formulations were all contained in canisters coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and aerosol formulations of the formulations were tested for 6 months at 40 ℃ and 75% RH, using a usp apparatus to determine delivered dose uniformity (DCU) and an anderson cascade impactor to determine Fine Particle Dose (FPD).
The results are given in the following table:
from the above test results, the indexes of DCU and FPD, etc. after accelerated storage for 6 months at 40 ℃ using span 80 as a surfactant are superior to those of the prescription using oleic acid. DCU and FPD were both good at span 80 concentrations of 0.01% -0.1% w/w. Namely, MMAD is obviously increased after prescription 1 is placed in an accelerated manner, which shows that the particle size of drug particles is increased, the inhalable effective drug dose FDA is obviously reduced, and the effect of oleic acid is reduced after the oleic acid is placed.
