Definitions
- the invention relates to devices for the administration of basic active substances, in particular nicotine, to the human or animal body by inhalation.
- the invention further relates to manufacturing processes with which such devices can be obtained, as well as the use of the devices mentioned for smoking cessation or for smoke-free breastfeeding of the nicotine craving when necessary.
- Nicotine inhalers for the administration of nicotine via the breathing air when inhaled have been known for several years
- nicotine inhalers have also been available on the market as smoking weaning products in some European countries ("Nicorette ® "; Pharmacia / Pfizer).
- the last-mentioned nicotine inhaler is, however, only slightly widespread, since with this device only small amounts of nicotin are effective during inhalation. This is due in particular to the fundamental deficiencies of known inhaler technologies and the compatibility that can be achieved with them.
- the local irritant effects on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract caused by the alkaline properties of nicotine are disadvantageous since they trigger a cough, which results in a reduced absorption of the nicotine vapors emitted by the inhaler. In this way, only very small amounts of nicotine are absorbed into the body.
- the object of the invention was therefore to provide a nicotine inhaler which enables the most irritant, intensive absorption of nicotine via the respiratory tract. This object is achieved by the devices according to the main claim and the claims dependent thereon, and by the production method according to claim 19 and according to the claims dependent thereon.
- a device is characterized in that it contains a first preparation which contains nicotine base and / or another volatile, inhalable basic active ingredient, and in that it also contains a second preparation or several further preparations, wherein this second preparation or at least one of the further preparations has a content of at least one volatile acid suitable for inhalation.
- the devices according to the invention are distinguished in that, when inhaling, in addition to the active substance base (eg nicotine base), one or more volatile acidic compounds are also inhaled at the same time.
- the devices according to the invention are suitable for the administration of basic active substances, in particular nicotine, to the human or animal body by inhalation.
- basic active substances in particular nicotine
- selegiline and / or mecamyla can be considered as basic active ingredients.
- the combination of nicotine with mecamylamine is particularly preferred for smoking cessation.
- a first preparation which contains nicotine base (or another active ingredient base) and a further preparation which contains a volatile acid causes the nicotine base and the volatile acid to be volatilized during inhalation, wherein by mixing the basic and acidic vapors in the device to form the corresponding nicotine salt (or the corresponding salt of the others Active ingredient base) comes.
- This salt reaches the respiratory tract in the form of liquid droplets or in particulate form with the inhaled air. Because of the neutral reaction of the mucous membrane of the salt, this type of inhalation is far better tolerated than is possible with known inhalation devices.
- the mentioned first preparation containing nicotine base and the second acidic preparation are applied to separate locations within the device. This makes it possible to design the air inflow ducts in such a way that when inhaled, part of the air flow flows over the first preparation and another part of the air flow over the second preparation, and subsequently both air flows (with the volatilized therein) evaporate Nicotine base and acid) combine and can then be inhaled.
- the active ingredient base eg nicotine base
- the volatile acid contained in the second preparation are passively volatilized.
- this process can be accelerated by applying heat; agents suitable for this are known to the person skilled in the art.
- aerosol formation occurs in the inflowing ambient air.
- This aerosol formation results from the lower volatility of the nicotine salt, salt mixture or salt solution droplet formed.
- the formation of aerosols is also the cause of a significantly increased tolerance, since nicotine is no longer available freely and can no longer have an alkaline effect via the gas outer phase.
- nicotine is no longer available freely and can no longer have an alkaline effect via the gas outer phase.
- aerosol droplets as salt components partially dissolved in water or as a solid dispersion, have a far better tolerance than is possible with the devices known in the prior art because of the neutral (instead of alkaline) mucous membrane reaction.
- Aerosol formation is helpful, but is not absolutely necessary for the therapeutic result according to the invention to come about. Overall, a high dilution of the feed vapors - which suppresses aerosol formation - can even be useful in terms of compatibility.
- the size of the aerosol particles formed by the inhalation system according to the invention depends above all on the speed of the air flow (flow rate) and on the concentrations of the individual gaseous constituents (basic active ingredient or acid) in the mixing zone. Aerosol particles whose size is less than 10 ⁇ m (average diameter), for example 5 to 10 ⁇ m, are advantageous for alveolar uptake.
- the inhalation device has a first air inlet opening, a second air inlet opening and an air outlet opening. These openings are arranged in such a way that the air stream flowing in through the first inlet opening predominantly flows over said first preparation, and the air stream flowing in through the second inlet opening predominantly flows over said second or further preparation (s) , and wherein the two air flows merge in the further course and emerge from the device through said outlet opening.
- the device has elongated depressions, channels or channels on the inside, as a result of which a first and second air supply channel and an air outlet channel are formed. These air flow paths open to the outside in each case via the air inlet or outlet openings mentioned.
- the aforementioned first preparation is located in the elongated recess which forms the first air supply duct
- the mentioned second preparation is in the elongated recess which forms the second air supply duct. It is preferred that the preparations are applied in the vicinity of the air inlet opening.
- an approximately equimolar ratio of the molar evaporation rates of the two components is aimed for.
- the respective delivery rates can be controlled, among other things, via the flow conditions in the two channels.
- a delivery rate of 100 ⁇ g / lOs can be provided for nicotine with a continuous air flow through the first opening or the first air supply duct; in this case - when using acetic acid as the acid component - a release rate of approx. 50 g / lOs in the second air flow mentioned would be suitable.
- an inhalation device during an inspiration process, which has a duration of 1 to 10 s and in which an inhalation rate of 0.1 to 1 1 / min is reached, 5 to 250 ⁇ g, preferably 10 releases up to 100 ⁇ g, Ni ⁇ otinbase or another basic active ingredient from the above-mentioned preparation into the inhaled air.
- an inspiration process which has a duration of 1 to 10 s and in which an inhalation rate of 0.1 to 1 1 / min is reached, 5 to 250 ⁇ g, preferably 10 releases up to 100 ⁇ g, Ni ⁇ otinbase or another basic active ingredient from the above-mentioned preparation into the inhaled air.
- a breath tens of 10 s and at inhalation rates between 0.1 and 1 1 / min 100 ⁇ g nicotine base are administered; this delivery rate is appropriate for therapy.
- the device has high passage cross sections in the entire structure. This is particularly the case if the line cross sections of the air inlet openings and the air outlet opening are dimensioned such that the negative differential pressure in the oral cavity during the inhalation process is at most 300 Pa.
- Acetic acid is preferably used as the volatile acid; other acids can also be used, provided they are volatile at room temperature (approx. 15-25 ° C) or can be converted into the vapor phase by exposure to heat (up to approx. 100 ° C) (e.g. lactic acid, malic acid, propionic acid) , Combinations of different acids can also be used. Due to its high volatility, acetic acid is used in a lower concentration and in a higher total amount, as well as in combination with additives. Volatile, inhalable basic active substances are understood in particular to be those active substances which are volatile at the temperatures mentioned or which can be converted into the vapor phase.
