Definitions
- compositions containing a solid active Ingredient comprising a solid active Ingredient.
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical preparation for use in the treatment of disorders having mucus retention as a symptom.
- the invention is particularly concerned with, but not limited to, mucus retention in the lungs and airways.
- respiratory mucus retention is a prominent symptom.
- respiratory mucus In health, respiratory mucus is cleared unnoticed by the ciliary escalator, but in chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and other conditions this mechanism fails to cleanse the lungs adequately, mucus is retained and usually becomes infected.
- a patient with mucus retention is generally troubled with a productive cough and has a tendency to infections in the lungs and respiratory tract, including pneumonia and other serious conditions.
- Normal mucus is present as a microscopic layer which coats the membranes of the respiratory system and it is consequently extremely difficult to obtain samples of normal mucus for study without using very invasive techniques. It is generally recognised that a person having enough mucus for the collection of a sample of mucus to be possible, without the use of such invasive techniques, is not in good health. In most cases it is not known exactly why mucus in patients suffering from mucus retention fails to be cleared by ciliary action. The general assumption is that the mucus is in some undefined way too "sticky” or "thick", but because normal mucus cannot be examined that assumption is speculative.
- DNase Pulmozyme
- Genentech a recombinant form of a natural human enzyme that degrades DNA, DNA often being one of the components of sputum that has accumulated in infected lungs. This liquifies sputum, making it easier to cough it up.
- Aerosolized hypertonic sodium chloride solution has been shown in one study (D. Pavia et al, American Review of Respiratory Disease Vol 117, 1978, pl99) to aid clearance of mucus from the lungs of chronic bronchitis sufferers. It is not known by what mechanism that effect occurs. Hypertonic saline, inhaled from an ultrasonic nebulizer, has also been used as a diagnostic aid to encourage the production of a sputum sample for laboratory examination in persons who do not normally expectorate (R.F. Miller et al, The Lancet, vol 335, pll2) Again, the mechanism of action has been a matter for speculation.
- the present invention provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a solid active ingredient and is in a form suitable for administration of the solid active ingredient by inhalation, characterised in that the solid active ingredient is (i) a physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salt or
- the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a solid active ingredient and is in a form suitable for administration of the solid active ingredient by inhalation, characterised in that the solid active ingredient comprises sodium chloride and one or more other active substances, for example, selected from (i) physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salts, (ii) physiologically tolerable metal, ammonium, amine and organic salts of inorganic and organic acids, and (iii) pharmaceutically active substances.
- the solid active ingredient comprises sodium chloride and one or more other active substances, for example, selected from (i) physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salts, (ii) physiologically tolerable metal, ammonium, amine and organic salts of inorganic and organic acids, and (iii) pharmaceutically active substances.
- Salts that are effective in improving mucus transportability include salts that are fully ionised in solution, for example, alkali, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of inorganic acids, and also salts that are only partly ionised in solution, for example, salts of organic acids, for example, carboxylic acids.
- Zwitterionic salts for example, amino acids, for example, glycine, are also effective. It appears, however, that non-ionizable materials, for example, glucose, are not effective.
- a salt to be used in a pharmaceutical preparation of the invention should generally be water-soluble.
- the chosen salts should be physiologically tolerable and it is preferable that any salt administered in solid form should, on dissolution in an aqueous solvent, give a solution having an approximately physiological pH.
- Salts which may be used according to the present invention include but are not limited to (i) physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salts, for example, amino acids, for example, glycine and valine; (ii) physiologically tolerable metal, ammonium, amine and organic salts of inorganic and organic acids and mixtures of two or more salts as defined in (i) and (ii) above. If a salt comprises an organic component, as cation or anion, that component should generally have a low molecular weight such that it can diffuse readily into the mucus, for example, it should have a molecular weight of about 150 or less, for example, about 100 daltons or less. The amine component of an amine salt may be substituted, if desired.
- An organic acid is especially a carboxylic acid, for example, having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and may be substituted. Examples are acetic, propionic and butyric acid.
- a salt may be an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or transition metal salt, for example, a sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or ammonium salt.
- a salt may be a chloride, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, carbonate or bicarbonate salt, or a salt of a carboxylic acid having from two to six carbon atoms.
- the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical preparation of the invention may comprise a mixture of salts having (a) cationic components selected from sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and ammonium ions and (b) anionic components selected from chloride, nitrate, sulphate, carbonate and bicarbonate ions.
- Such a preparation may also comprise one or more amino acids.
- sodium chloride may be the sole active ingredient or may be one of the active ingredients in a mixture of salts. It may be preferable to ensure that sodium chloride is the major component in a mixture of salts.
- a mixture of salts comprising ions found at the airway surface for example, salts comprising sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate and carbonate ions, is used as the active ingredient.
- the various ions are preferably used in the relative proportions as present at the airway surface.
- a pharmaceutically active substance that may be incorporated in a pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention may be any substance useful in the treatment of any pathological condition of the lungs or airways, for example, an antibiotic or antiinflammatory agent.
- Production of pharmaceutical preparations and medicaments suitable for administration by inhalation may be carried out by methods known in the art. For example by microcrystallisation methods, for example, freeze drying or spray drying, or by comminution, for example, using grinding, milling or ultrasonic techniques followed by sieving or other particle selection techniques known in the art.
- the particles may be coated or their surface characteristics modified.
- compositions and/or delivery methods deliver the solid in spheroidal particulate form as this reduces any irritation and damage caused by the particles.
- Additives may be included, for example, agents to stop adhesion or clumping of particles. Methods which may be employed include those described in GB1242211 for producing powders.
- Spray drying allows the formation of fine powders of spherically shaped particles with mean sizes appropriate for pulmonary delivery.
- One advantage of spray drying is that it is a single stage process which can be completely controlled by a single operator. It is a well known process which has been used successfully in many industries, including the pharmaceutical industry.
- Particle sizes should generally be in the micron range to ensure that they are able to travel deep into the lungs.
- the solid will be in a particulate form having an aerodynamic mass median particle size of ⁇ 10 ⁇ m, more preferably ⁇ 5 ⁇ m and most preferably of about 3 ⁇ m or less. It is generally regarded that the ideal size for deposition of particles in the peripheral airways is 0.8 to 5 ⁇ m. Ad- vantageously, the median particle size will fall within this range. Appropriately at least 70% and preferably 85 or 90 % of the particles comprising the active substance will be in the desired size range. Minimum particle size is less of a problem.
- Solid pharmaceutical preparations and medicaments for administration by inhalation may be administered by the use of dry powder inhalers, advantageously, breath activated dry powder inhalers since with these inhalers it is not necessary for the patient to synchronise activation of the inhaler and inhalation.
- dry powder inhalers are known, for example, the Spinhaler (trade name) , a dry powder aerosol device, (Fisons) and the Rotahaler (trade name) , which uses gelatin capsules of powder, (Glaxo) .
- Such devices generally incorporate means for controlling the unit dose dispensed.
- Inhalers that are known include but are not limited to those described in EP-A-488609, EP-A-495675, O92/10229, O92/10230, DE 4027390, DE 4027391 and EP 407028.
- a solid pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention may be provided in a form suitable for use with a known inhaler, for example, in the form of hard gelatin capsules or a compressed disc.
- the formulation may comprises a propellant and be in the form of an aerosol.
- the salt may be dispersed as a powder or as drops of a suspension of the solid.
- the aerosol will usually comprise a liquid propellant gas having a boiling point of below room temperature, and if desired, carriers such as liquid or solid, non-ionic or anionic surface-active agents and/or diluents.
- the appropriate dose and frequency of treatment will be dependent on the symptoms and physical condition of the individual patient. Doses which provide in the range of 10 to 100 milligrams entering the lungs may be preferred. It will be appreciated that the use of dry powder inhalers and aerosols will allow patients to administer their own doses of medicament quickly, frequently and without the need for troublesome equipment and procedures as are experienced with nebulizers.
- the invention further provides the use of sodium chloride in the manufacture of a medicament for administration of the sodium chloride in a solid form, for the treatment and/or the prevention of mucus retention, especially in the lungs and airways.
- the sodium chloride may be used in combination with one or more other active substances, for example, selected from (i) physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salts, (ii) physiologically tolerable metal, ammonium, amine and organic salts of inorganic and organic acids, and (iii) pharmaceutically active substances.
- active substances for example, selected from (i) physiologically tolerable zwitterionic salts, (ii) physiologically tolerable metal, ammonium, amine and organic salts of inorganic and organic acids, and (iii) pharmaceutically active substances.

When required the samples were thawed and either used in that form immediately or were incubated as described below or where mixed with test solutions. If mixed with a test solution then the sputum mixture was incubated.
- the transportability of the sputum samples was measured by placing a portion of each sputum near the distal end of the tracheal explant and measuring the rate at which it moved proximally using a measuring-rod (ruler) and a watch.
- the control used was bovine tracheal mucus which had accumulated at the proximal cut end of the trachea during the process of mucus depletion.
- the control mucus was equilibrated in 300 milliosmolar phosphate buffered saline before use.
- the transportability index of a sputum sample is its transport rate expressed as a percentage of that of bovine tracheal mucus.
- each sample was divided into two aliquots of approximately 1ml. One aliquot was weighed and sodium chloride crystals were added to increase the sodium chloride concentration by 0.6% w/w. The samples were incubated overnight at 4° C, which allowed full diffusion of the added salt. The transportability of each sample was measured on bovine trachea.
