Pulmonary hypertension is a malignant pulmonary vascular disease characterized by small pulmonary vascular remodeling, often due to progressive increases in pulmonary vascular resistance and ultimately leading to the death of the right heart failure of the patient. Treprostinil is a targeted therapeutic drug for pulmonary hypertension, belongs to prostacyclin analogues, has similar pharmacological action to endogenous prostacyclin, and has direct vasodilation and platelet aggregation inhibition effects on pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds.
The existing preparations developed by treprostinil and marketed by the current market comprise subcutaneous or intravenous injection (Remadulin, 20ml:20mg), sustained release tablets (Orenitram, 0.125mg/0.25mg), inhalant (Tyvaso, 1.74mg/2.9ml) atomized by ultrasonic pulse, the three preparations have long-term pain or reaction at the infusion part, erythema, sclerosis or rash are generated, adverse reactions related to prostacyclin pharmacological characteristics such as blood pressure reduction caused by vasodilation, headache, cough, syncope and aggravation of cheek muscle spasm (oral cavity opening and closing difficulty) can occur in the using process of the sustained release tablets, the daily life of patients is influenced, and the problems of ventilation blood flow ratio imbalance and hypoxemia caused by uneven distribution of medicines exist no matter whether the vein or oral treprostinil treats pulmonary hypertension.

Wherein the treprostinil salt is selected from one of treprostinil sodium salt, calcium salt, diethanolamine salt, triethanolamine salt, L-arginine salt, lysine salt, meglumine salt, ammonium salt and choline salt; the present invention preferably sprays treprostinil or treprostinil diethanolamine salt onto a metal foil array of a medicament inhaler; the dosage of the treprostinil or the salt thereof coated on the foil is calculated by the treprostinil, and the spraying amount is 1.2-1000 mu g/cm2The preferred spraying amount is 20-380 mu g/cm2More preferably 100 to 200. mu.g/cm2. In the present invention, the source of treprostinil or its salt is not particularly limited, and a commercially available product may be used.
In the present invention, the heating of the drug inhaler is generated by a current pulse having a duration of 0.2 to 0.6 seconds and a voltage intensity of 0.1 to 10 volts, so that the metal foil is rapidly heated to 100 to 500 ℃, preferably the metal foil is heated to 250 to 350 ℃, more preferably 300 ℃. The inventor finds through experiments that the solid treprostinil and the salt thereof can be rapidly gasified to form aerosol with stable quality under the high-temperature condition within 500 ℃.
