Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to dry powder compositions and methods for their preparation and use.
- the present invention relates to methods for spray drying pharmaceutical and other compositions comprising a hydrophobic drug or other component and a hydrophilic excipient or other component.
- certain drugs have been sold in formulations suitable for oral inhalation (pulmonary delivery) to treat various conditions in humans.
- pulmonary drug delivery formulations are designed to be inhaled by the patient so that the active drug within the dispersion reaches the lung. It has been found that certain drugs delivered to the lung are readily absorbed through the alveolar region directly into blood circulation.
- Such pulmonary delivery can be effective both for systemic delivery and for localized delivery to treat diseases of the lungs.
- Pulmonary drug delivery can itself be achieved by different approaches, including liquid nebulizers, aerosol- based metered dose inhalers (MDI's), and dry powder dispersion devices. Aerosol-based MDI's are losing favor because they rely on the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), which are being banned because of their adverse effect on the ozone layer. Dry powder dispersion devices, which do not rely on CFC aerosol technology, are promising for delivering drugs that may be readily formulated as dry powders . The ability to deliver pharmaceutical compositions as dry powders, however, is problematic in certain respects. The dosage of many pharmaceutical compositions is often critical, so it is desirable that dry powder delivery systems be able to accurately, precisely, and reliably deliver the intended amount of drug.
- a particularly promising approach for the pulmonary delivery of dry powder drugs utilizes a hand-held device with a hand pump for providing a source of pressurized gas.
- the pressurized gas is abruptly released through a powder dispersion device, such as a venturi nozzle, and the dispersed powder made available for patient inhalation.
- a powder dispersion device such as a venturi nozzle
- the dispersed powder made available for patient inhalation.
- hand-held devices are problematic in a number of other respects.
- the particles being delivered are usually less than 5 ⁇ m in size, making powder handling and dispersion more difficult than with larger particles.
- the problems are exacerbated by the relatively small volumes of pressurized gas, which are available using hand-actuated pumps.
- venturi dispersion devices are unsuitable for difficult-to-disperse powders when only small volumes of pressurized gas are available with the handpump.
- Another requirement for hand-held and other powder delivery devices is efficiency. High device efficiency in delivering the drug to the patient with the optimal size distribution for pulmonary delivery is essential for a commercially viable product.
- Spray drying is a conventional chemical processing unit operation used to produce dry particulate solids from a variety of liquid and slurry starting materials.
- the use of spray drying for the formulation of dry powder pharmaceuticals is known, but has usually been limited to spray drying of hydrophilic drugs in aqueous solutions, usually in combination with hydrophilic excipients.
- Many drugs are hydrophobic, preventing spray drying in aqueous solutions. While spray drying of hydrophobic materials can often be accomplished using an organic solvent, the use of such non- aqueous solvents generally limits the ability to simultaneously spray dry a hydrophilic excipient .
- hydrophobic and hydrophilic components such as hydrophobic drugs and hydrophilic excipients.
- spray drying methods should be compatible with a wide variety of hydrophobic drugs as well as conventional hydrophilic excipients, such as povidone (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and other water soluble polymers, citric acid, mannitol, pectin and other water soluble carbohydrates, and particularly with those excipients which are accepted for use inhalation formulations, such as lactose, sodium chloride, and sodium citrate.
- Such spray drying methods will preferably produce particles having a uniform size distribution, with a mean particle size below 10 ⁇ m, preferably below 5 ⁇ m, and a standard deviation less than or equal to ⁇ 2 ⁇ m. Such powders should further exhibit uniform composition from batch to batch so that any tendency for particles of different compositions and/or sizes to separate in the lungs will have a reproducible impact on the therapeutic effect . Additionally, such spray drying methods should provide for dry powders which are physically and chemically stable and which have low levels of any residual organic solvents or other components which might be used in the spray drying process . At least some of the above objectives will be met by the various embodiments of the present invention which are described in detail below. 2. Description of the Background Art

Second, to aid in obtaining a uniform dispersion of the hydrophobic component, a surfactant can be added to the aqueous suspension of the hydrophilic component.
- the hydrophobic component can be mixed with either a surfactant or a water miscible organic solvent prior to the hydrophobic components being mixed with the aqueous solution of excipient. This may be done by mixing an organic solvent or dissolving or suspending a surfactant in a small amount of water, which is then mixed with the hydrophobic components. The resulting suspension is then mixed with the aqueous solution of excipient. The suspension is then spray dried to form particles comprising of both the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic components.
- the hydrophobic component will have an aqueous solubility less than 5 mg/ml , more usually below 1 mg/ml.
- the hydrophilic component will have a concentration in the aqueous solution in the range from
- 1 mg/ml to 100 mg/ml usually from 5 mg/ml to 60 mg/ml, and the hydrophobic component is suspended in the solution to a concentration in the range from 0.01 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml, usually from 0.05 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml.
- the hydrophobic component will be ground, comminuted, micronized, or otherwise rendered to a fine powder in order to enhance the stability and uniformity of the aqueous suspension.
- the hydrophobic component powder will have a particle size in the range from 5 ⁇ m to
- sub-micron particles has been found to be particularly effective in maintaining a uniform dispersion of the hydrophobic component in the aqueous solution of the hydrophilic component prior to spray drying.
- Powders prepared by the above method will be collected from the spray drier in a conventional manner for subsequent use.
- the dry powder formulations will usually be measured into a single dose, and the single dose sealed into a package.
- Such packages are particularly useful for dispersion in dry powder inhalers, as described in detail below.
- the powders may be packaged in multiple-dose containers.
- the present invention further comprises dry powder compositions produced according to the methods described above, as well as unit dose and multidose packages of such dried powder compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of the dry powder.
- the present invention further provides methods for aerosolizing a dry powder composition comprising the steps of providing an amount of dry powder composition produced by any of the methods described above and subsequently dispersing the dry powder composition into a flowing gas stream.

- Most hydrophobic drugs and other components will be available from suppliers in a powder form.
- the particle size of the supplied powders will usually be above the preferred ranges set forth above. In such cases, it will be desirable to further reduce the particle size by conventional size reduction techniques, such as grinding, comminuting, micronizing, microfluidizing, milling, pulverization, and the like. Preferred techniques for producing sub-micron and nanometer-sized particles are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,518,187; 5,510,118; and 5,534,270.

- dry means that the particles of the powder have a moisture content such that the powder is physically and chemically stable in storage at room temperature and is readily dispersible in an inhalation device to form an aerosol.
- the moisture content of the particles is below 10% by weight water, usually being below 5% by weight, preferably being below 3% by weight, or lower.
- the moisture content will usually be controlled by the drying conditions, as described in more detail below.
- dry further means that the particles of the powder have a moisture content such that the powder is readily dispersible in an inhalation device to form an aerosol. In some cases, however, non-aqueous medium may be used for dispersing the hydrophobic component, in which case the aqueous content may approach zero .
- therapeutically effective amount is the amount present in the composition that is needed to provide the desired level of hydrophobic drug in the subject to be treated to give the anticipated physiological response. This amount is determined for each drug on a case-by-case basis.
- physiologically effective amount is that amount delivered to a subject to give the desired palliative or curative effect. This amount is specific for each drug and its ultimate approval dosage level.
- the therapeutically effective amount of hydrophobic drug will vary in the composition depending on the biological activity of the drug employed and the amount needed in a unit dosage form. Because the subject powders are dispersible, it is highly preferred that they be manufactured in a unit dosage form in a manner that allows for ready manipulation by the formulator and by the consumer. This generally means that a unit dosage will be between about 0.5 mg and 15 mg of total material in the dry powder composition, preferably between about 1 mg and 10 mg. Generally, the amount of hydrophobic drug in the composition will vary from about 0.01% w/w to about 95% w/w. Most preferably the composition will be about 0.05% w/w to about 25% w/w drug. Referring now to Fig.
- processes according to the present invention for preparing dispersible dry powders of hydrophobic and hydrophilic components comprise an atomization operation 10 which produces droplets of a liquid medium which are dried in a drying operation 20. Drying of the liquid droplets results in formation of the discrete particles which form the dry powder compositions which are then collected in a separation operation 30.
- the atomization process 10 may utilize any one of several conventional forms of atomizers.
- the atomization process increases the surface area of the starting liquid. Due to atomization there is an increase in the surface energy of the liquid, the magnitude of which is directly proportional to the surface area increase. The source of this energy increase depends on the type of atomizer used. Any atomizer (centrifugal, sonic, pressure, two fluid) capable of producing droplets with a mass median diameter of less than about 20 ⁇ m could be used.
- Preferred for the present invention is the use of two fluid atomizers where the liquid medium is delivered through a nozzle concurrently with a high pressure gas stream. Particularly preferred is the use of two-fluid atomization nozzles as described in copending application serial no. 08/644,681, which is capable of producing droplets having a median diameter less than 20 ⁇ m.
- the atomization gas will usually be air which has been filtered or otherwise cleaned to remove particulates and other contaminants. Alternatively, other gases, such as nitrogen may be used.
- the atomization gas will be pressurized for delivery through the atomization nozzle, typically to a pressure above 5 psig, preferably being above 10 psig. Although flow of the atomization gas is generally limited to sonic velocity, the higher delivery pressures result in an increased atomization gas density. Such increased gas density has been found to reduce the droplet size formed in the atomization operation. Smaller droplet sizes, in turn, result in smaller particle sizes.
- the atomization conditions including atomization gas flow rate, atomization gas pressure, liquid flow rate, and the like, will be controlled to produce liquid droplets having an average diameter below 20 ⁇ m as measured by phase doppler velocimetry.
- the drying operation 20 will be performed next to evaporate liquid from the droplets produced by the atomization operation 10.
- the drying will require introducing energy to the droplets, typically by mixing the droplets with a heated gas which causes evaporation of the water or other liquid medium.
- the heated gas stream will flow concurrently with the atomized liquid, but it would also be possible to employ counter-current flow, cross-current flow, or other flow patterns.
- the drying rate may be controlled based on a number of variables, including the droplet size distribution, the inlet temperature of the gas stream, the outlet temperature of the gas stream, the inlet temperature of the liquid droplets, and the manner in which the atomized spray and hot drying gas are mixed.
- the drying gas stream will have an inlet temperature of at least 70°C.
- the outlet temperature will usually be at least about 40°C.
- the drying gas will usually be air or nitrogen which has been filtered or otherwise treated to remove particulates and other contaminants.
- the gas will be moved through the system using conventional blowers or compressors.
- the separation operation 30 will be selected in order to achieve very high efficiency collection of the ultrafine particles produced by the drying operation 20.
- Conventional separation operations may be used, although in some cases they should be modified in order to assure collection of sub-micron particles.
- separation is achieved using a filter medium such as a membrane medium (bag filter) , a sintered metal fiber filter, or the like.
- separation may be achieved using cyclone separators, although it is usually desirable to provide for high energy separation in order to assure the efficient collection of sub-micron particles.
- the separation operation should achieve collection of at least 80% of all particles above 1 ⁇ m in average particle size, preferably being above 85%, more preferably being above 90%, and even more preferably being above 95%, in collection efficiency.
- a cyclone separator can be used to separate very fine particles, e.g. 0.1 ⁇ m, from the final collected particles.
- the cyclone operating parameters can be selected to provide an approximate cutoff where particles above about 0.1 ⁇ m are collected while particles below 0.1 ⁇ m are carried over in the overhead exhaust .
- the presence of particles below 0.1 ⁇ m in the pulmonary powder is undesirable since they will generally not deposit in the alveolar regions of the lungs, but instead will be exhaled.
- the present invention relies on proper selection of the liquid medium or media for suspending the hydrophobic drug or other component and hydrophilic excipient or other component.
- the liquid medium may be water which will fully dissolve the hydrophilic excipient or other component to form a solution.
- the hydrophobic component is then suspended in the solution, and the solution spray dried as described above to form a powder having particles comprising a mixture of the dried hydrophilic and hydrophobic components.
- This approach is advantageous in that it can avoid the use of organic solvents.
- the hydrophobic drug be adequately suspended in the mixing vessel and in the supply lines to the spray dryer so that there is minimum settling from the aqueous medium prior to spray drying.
- the hydrophobic drug be in a powder form with an average particle size below 5 ⁇ m, preferably below 4 ⁇ m, and even more preferably below 2.5 ⁇ m to minimize the preferential accumulation of drugs in certain individual particles.
- unit dosage forms may comprise a unit dosage receptacle containing a dry powder.
- the powder is placed within a suitable dosage receptacle in an amount sufficient to provide a subject with drug for a unit dosage treatment.
- the dosage receptacle is one that fits within a suitable inhalation device to allow for the aerosolization of the dry powder composition by dispersion into a gas stream to form an aerosol and then capturing the aerosol so produced in a chamber having a mouthpiece attached for subsequent inhalation by a subject in need of treatment.
- Such a dosage receptacle includes any container enclosing the composition known in the art such as gelatin or plastic capsules with a removable portion that allows a stream of gas (e.g., air) to be directed into the container to disperse the dry powder composition.
- a stream of gas e.g., air
- Such containers are exemplified by those shown in U.S. Patents 4,227,522 issued October 14, 1980; 4,192,309 issued March 11, 1980; and 4,105,027 issued August 8, 1978.
- Suitable containers also include those used in conjunction with Glaxo ' s Ventolin Rotohaler ® brand powder inhaler or Fison's Spinhaler ® brand powder inhaler.
- Another suitable unit-dose container which provides a superior moisture barrier is formed from an aluminum foil plastic laminate.
- the pharmaceutical -based powder is filled by weight or by volume into the depression in the formable foil and hermetically sealed with a covering foil-plastic laminate.
- a container for use with a powder inhalation device is described in U.S. patent 4,778,054 and is used with Glaxo ' s Diskhaler ® (U.S. Patents 4,627,432; 4,811,731; and 5,035,237).
- Preferred dry powder inhalers are those described in U.S. Patent application serial nos.
- Budesonide (micronized to a median particle size of 1-2 ⁇ m; Steraloids)
- Lactose monohydrate (NF grade; Foremost Ingredient Group)
- Particle size was determined with a Horiba Particle Size 7Analyzer, model CAPA 700.
- Median particle size refers to the volume based particle size distribution of the prepared bulk powders determined via centrifugal sedimentation as follows. A sample of the powder was suspended in an appropriate liquid medium (one that minimizes solubilizing the particle) , sonicated to break up the agglomerates, and then centrifuged. The median particle size was determined by measuring the sedimentation rate during centrifugation. This method provides the median size of the "primary" particle, that is, the size of the particles produced by the manufacturing process, plus potential modification during sample preparation.
- Delivered dose efficiency refers to a measure of the percentage of powder which is drawn out of a blister package and which exits the mouthpiece of an inhaler device as described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/487,184.
- Delivered dose efficiency is a measure of efficiency for the powder package/device combination.
- the test was performed by connecting a vacuum system to the device mouthpiece.
- the vacuum system was set to be similar to a human inhalation with regard to volume and flow rate (1.2 liters total at 30 liters/minute) .
- a blister package containing 0.5 to 10 mg of the formulation to be evaluated (2 to 5 mg of powder was used for the following examples) was loaded into a device which was held in a testing fixture.
- MMAD mass median aerodynamic diameter refers to a measure of the particle size of the aerosolized powder. MMAD was determined with an Andersen cascade impactor. In a cascade impactor the aerosolized powder (which was aerosolized using an inhaler device as described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
- 08/487,184 enters the impactor via an air stream, and encounters a series of stages that separate particles by their aerodynamic diameter (the smallest particles pass farthest down the impactor) .
- the amount of powder collected on each stage is determined gravimetrically, and the mass median aerodynamic diameter is then calculated.
- the hydrophobic component was suspended in any of three different ways:
- the hydrophobic component was mixed directly into the aqueous solution (this method was used for all of the examples in Table 1, except for batches 329-56 and 329-58) , (2) a surfactant or a water miscible organic solvent was added to the aqueous solution prior to the hydrophobic component being added (this method was used for example batches 329-56 and 329-58 in Table 1) , (3) the hydrophobic component was mixed with either a surfactant and/or a water miscible organic solvent prior to the hydrophobic component being mixed with the aqueous solution of excipient (this method was used for all of the examples in Table 2) .
