Definitions

  • Epinephrine is a catecholamine that stimulates the a- and b-adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine binds to these adrenergic receptors leading to relief of many life-threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis (e.g., relaxation of the smooth muscle in the bronchi of the lungs thereby opening up constricted airways, constriction of the blood vessels leading to decreased swelling of the tongue and throat and increasing blood pressure, and increased heart rate thereby preventing or reversing cardiovascular collapse).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] Provided herein are, for example, pharmaceutical spray formulations of epinephrine for treating anaphylaxis. Also provided herein are, for example, methods of treating anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, and/or a severe allergic reaction, or at least one symptom thereof.
[0045] I. DEFINITIONS
[0046] The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts. The chemical structures and formulae set forth herein are constructed according to the standard rules of chemical valency known in the chemical arts.
[0047] The terms "about" or "approximately", as used herein, when referring to a numerical value or range, allow for a degree of variability in the value or range, for example, within 10%, or within 5% of a stated value or of a stated limit of a range.
[0048] The term "actuation", as used herein, refers to operation of the device such that the pharmaceutical composition is delivered therefrom.
[0049] The term "AUC", as used herein, refers to the area under the drug (e.g., epinephrine) plasma concentration-time curve. The term "AUCo-t," as used herein, refers to the area under the drug plasma concentration-time curve from t=0 to the last measurable concentration. The term "AUCo-¥," as used herein, refers to the area under the drug plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to ¥.
[0050] The term "bioavailability" or "F", as used herein, refers to the fraction of a dose of drug (e.g., epinephrine) that is absorbed from its site of administration and reaches, in an unchanged form, the systemic circulation. The term "absolute bioavailability" is used when the fraction of absorbed drug is related to its I.V. bioavailability. It may be calculated using the following formula: p AU C extr avascular c Dose intravenous
AUCintravenous Dose ex ravascular
[0051] The term "relative bioavailability" or "Frei", is used to compare two different extravascular routes of drug administration and it may be calculated using the following formula:
Figure imgf000008_0001
[0052] The term "clearance" or "CL", as used herein, refers to the rate at which a drug is eliminated divided by its plasma concentration, giving a volume of plasma from which drug is completely removed per unit of time. CL is equal to the elimination rate constant (l) multiplied by the volume of distribution (Vd), wherein "Vd" is the fluid volume that would be required to contain the amount of drug present in the body at the same concentration as in the plasma. The term "apparent clearance (CL/F)," as used herein, refers to clearance that does not take into account the bioavailability of the drug. It is the ratio of the dose over the AUC. [0053] The term "Cmax", as used herein, refers to the maximum observed plasma concentration.
[0054] The term "coefficient of variation" or "CV", as used herein, refers to the ratio of the sample standard deviation to the sample mean. It is often expressed as a percentage.
[0055] The term "confidence interval", as used herein, refers to a range of values which will include the true average value of a parameter a specified percentage of the time.
[0056] The term "device", as used herein, refers to an apparatus capable of delivering a drug to patient in need thereof.
[0057] The term "delivery time", as used herein, refers to the amount of time that elapses between a determination made by a healthcare professional, or an untrained individual that an individual is in need of nasal delivery of epinephrine and completion of the delivery.
[0058] The term "elimination rate constant" or "l", as used herein, refers to the fractional rate of drug removal from the body. This rate is constant in first-order kinetics and is independent of drug concentration in the body l is the slope of the plasma concentration-time line (on a logarithmic y scale). The term "lz," as used herein, refers to the terminal phase elimination rate constant, wherein the "terminal phase" of the drug plasma concentration-time curve is a straight line when plotted on a semi -logarithmic graph. The terminal phase is often called the "elimination phase" because the primary mechanism for decreasing drug concentration during the terminal phase is drug elimination from the body. The distinguishing characteristic of the terminal elimination phase is that the relative proportion of drug in the plasma and peripheral volumes of distribution remains constant. During this "terminal phase" drug returns from the rapid and slow distribution volumes to the plasma, and is permanently removed from the plasma by metabolism or renal excretion.
[0059] The term "epinephrine", as used herein, refers to a compound of the following structure:
Figure imgf000010_0001
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof. The CAS registry number for epinephrine is 51-43-4. Other names for epinephrine include, but are not limited to, (i?)-4-(l -hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl)benzene- 1 ,2-diol and adrenaline.
[0060] The term "nostril", as used herein, is synonymous with "naris."
[0061] The terms "permeation enhancer", "permeability enhancer", "absorption enhancer", and "penetration enhancer", as used herein, are intended to be equivalent, all four terms referring to an agent which aids in delivering and/or increasing bioavailability and Cmax of a compound through a mucosal barrier, such as through the nasal mucosa.

In some cases, the absorption enhancer comprises diethylene glycol monoethyl ether. In some cases, use of absorption enhancers can reduce Tmax. In some cases, use of absorption enhancers decreases the time within which a given plasma concentration of the active ingredient is achieved following administration. Absorption enhancers may be used to increase the AUC of the active ingredient.
[0062] The term "stabilizer" and "stabilizing agent" are intended to be equivalent and refer to a chemical that is used to prevent degradation. Examples of stabilizers or stabilizing agents include, but are not limited to, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), ascorbic acid, methionine, sodium ascorbate, sodium thiosulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabi sulfite, ascorbyl palmitate, thioglycerol, alpha tocopherol (vitamin E), cysteine hydrochloride, citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ("EDTA"), sodium citrate, propyl gallate, 8-hydroxyquinoline, boric acid, histidine, vitamin A, and combinations thereof.
[0063] The term "viscosity modifier" refers to a product or combination of products designed to change the thickness or texture of pharmaceutical ingredients or formulations.

[0064] Solvents suitable for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, water, ethanol, glycerin, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 400 and combinations thereof.
[0065] The term "pre-primed", as used herein, refers to a device, such as a nasal spray which is capable of delivering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof with the first actuation of the spray pump, i.e., without the need to prime a pump prior to dosing, such as by actuating the pump one or more times until a spray appears.
[0066] The term "recovery position", as used herein, means a position of the human body in which a patient lies on his/her side, with a leg or knee out in front (e.g., to prevent rolling onto his/her stomach) and at least one hand supporting the head (e.g., to elevate the face to facilitate breathing and prevent inhalation of vomit).
[0067] The term "storage-stable", as used herein, refers to a pharmaceutical composition in which at least about 95% — for example at least about 99.5% — of the active ingredient remains in an undegraded state after storage of the pharmaceutical composition at specified temperature and/or humidity for a specified time, for example, for 12 months at 25° C and 60% relative humidity.
[0068] The term "supine", as used herein, refers to a patient who is lying face up.

Tonicity agents include, but are not limited to, dextrose, lactose, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sorbitol, sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, raffmose, polyethylene glycol, hydroxyethyl starch, glycine and the like.
[0071] The term "Tmax" or "tmax", as used herein, refers to the time from administration of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein to maximum drug plasma concentration.
[0072] Liquid nasal formulations are mainly aqueous solutions, but suspensions and emulsions can also be delivered. In traditional spray pump systems, antimicrobial preservatives are typically required to maintain microbiological stability in liquid formulations. [0073] The droplet size distribution of a nasal spray influences the in vivo deposition of the drug in the nasal cavity. The droplet size is influenced by the actuation parameters of the device and the formulation. In some embodiments, the median droplet size is from about 30 pm to about 100 pm. If the droplets are too large (e.g., greater than about 120 pm), deposition takes place mainly in the anterior parts of the nose, and if the droplets are too small (e.g., less than about 10 pm), they can possibly be inhaled and reach the lungs.
[0074] Spray characterization (e.g., plume geometry, spray pattern, pump delivery, droplet size distribution, DSD) of the delivered plume subsequent to spraying may be measured under specified experimental and instrumental conditions by appropriate and validated and/or calibrated analytical procedures known in the art. These include photography, laser diffraction, and impaction systems (cascade impaction, next generation impaction (NGI), etc.). Droplet size distribution can be controlled in terms of ranges for the D10, D50, D90, span [(D90-D10)/D50], and percentage of droplets less than 10 mm. In some embodiments, the formulation will have a narrow DSD. In some embodiments, the formulation will have a Dv(50) of 30-70 pm and a Dv(90)<120 pm. The particle diameter "(D)" designations refer to the representative diameter where 10% (D10), 50% (D50) and 90% (D90) of the total volume of the liquid sprayed is made up of droplets with diameters smaller than or equal to the stated value. The spray characteristics can refer to a mean (average) or median value collected for a plurality of sprays. The plurality of sprays can be at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more sprays.
[0075] All percent compositions are given as weight-percentages, unless otherwise stated. [0076] All average molecular weights of polymers are weight-average molecular weights, unless otherwise specified.
[0077] As used herein, "subject" or "patient" (as in the subject of the treatment) means both mammals and non-mammals. Mammals include, for example, humans; non-human primates (e.g., apes and monkeys) and non-primates (e.g., dogs, cats, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats). Non-mammals include, for example, fish and birds. Terms "subject" and "patient" are synonymous and refer, but are not limited to, a person that is experiencing type I allergies including anaphylaxis. "Patient" or "subject in need thereof refers to a living organism suffering from or prone to a disease or condition that can be treated by administration of a pharmaceutical composition as provided herein. In some embodiments, a patient is human. [0078] The terms "disease," "disorder," or "condition" are used interchangeably and refer to a state of being or health status of a patient or subject capable of being treated with the compounds or methods provided herein. The disease may be anaphylaxis. The disease may be a severe allergic reaction, and the like. The disease may be a cancer. The disease may be an autoimmune disease. The disease may be an inflammatory disease. The disease may be an infectious disease.
[0079] As used herein, the terms "type I reactions", "type I allergies", and "severe allergic reactions" are used interchangeably (i.e., immediate hypersensitivity reactions) and refer to the involvement of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells and basophils. Examples include, but are not limited to, anaphylaxis, an anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactic shock and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Severe allergic reactions are caused by allergens. Non-limiting examples of allergens include an insect bite (for example a bee sting), medication (for example an antibiotic such as a penicillin), food (such as eggs, nuts, or shellfish), a chemical (for example latex), and/or any combination thereof.
[0080] As used herein, "free of propellant" refers to a formulation that is not administered using compressed gas.
[0081] The terms "spray" and "mist" are used interchangeably herein and refer to liquid (e.g., a formulation for intranasal administration) that is blown or driven through the air in the form of drops or droplets.
[0082] As used herein, all numerical values relating to amounts, weights, and the like, that are defined as "about" or "approximately" each particular value is plus or minus 10%. For example, the phrase "about 10% w/w" is to be understood as "9% w/w to 11% w/w." Therefore, amounts within 10% of the claimed value are encompassed by the scope of the claims.
[0083] As used herein, the terms "weight percent", "wt %", "% w/w", and "percent w/w" refer to the percentage concentration calculated as the fraction of the weight of the solute in a solution or formulation relative to the total weight of the solution or formulation.
[0084] As used herein, the terms "% w/v" and "percent w/v" refer to the percentage concentration calculated as the fraction of the weight of the solute in a solution or formulation relative to the total volume of the solution or formulation.
[0085] As used herein, the terms "% v/v" and "percent v/v" refer to the percentage concentration calculated as the fraction of the volume of the solute in a solution or formulation relative to the total volume of the solution or formulation. As used herein, whenever % w/w, % w/v, or % v/v is used individually, the other units of concentration are also contemplated. For example, a reference to 1% w/w of component A in a formulation also contemplates 1% w/v and/or 1% v/v of component A.
[0086] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to the amount necessary to treat a patient in need thereof.
[0087] The terms "treating" or "treatment" refer to any indicia of success in the therapy or amelioration of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms or making the injury, pathology or condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in the rate of degeneration or decline; making the final point of degeneration less debilitating; improving a patient’s physical or mental well-being. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters; including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric exams, and/or a psychiatric evaluation. The term "treating" and conjugations thereof, may include prevention of an injury, pathology, condition, or disease. In some embodiments, treating is preventing. In some embodiments, treating does not include preventing. In some embodiments, "treat", "treating", or "treatment" refer to ameliorating or inhibiting symptoms of type I allergies including anaphylaxis.
[0088] "Treating" or "treatment", as used herein (and as well-understood in the art), also broadly includes any approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results in a subject’s condition, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminishment of the extent of a disease, stabilizing (z.e., not worsening) the state of disease, prevention of a disease’s transmission or spread, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, diminishment of the reoccurrence of disease, and remission, whether partial or total and whether detectable or undetectable. In other words, "treatment" as used herein includes any cure, amelioration, or prevention of a disease. Treatment may prevent the disease from occurring; inhibit the disease’s spread; relieve the disease’s symptoms (e.g., throat or tongue swelling, itchy rash, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, inflammation, bronchoconstriction, etc.), fully or partially remove the disease’s underlying cause, shorten a disease’s duration, or do a combination of these things.
[0089] "Treating" and "treatment", as used herein, include prophylactic treatment. Treatment methods include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound described herein. The administering step may consist of a single administration or may include a series of administrations. The length of the treatment period depends on a variety of factors, such as the severity of the condition, the age of the patient, the concentration of the compound, the activity of the compositions used in the treatment, or a combination thereof. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage of an agent used for the treatment or prophylaxis may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment or prophylaxis regime. Changes in dosage may result and become apparent by standard diagnostic assays known in the art. In some instances, chronic administration may be required. For example, the compositions are administered to the subject in an amount and for a duration sufficient to treat the patient.
[0090] The term "prevent" refers to a decrease in the occurrence of disease symptoms in a patient. As indicated above, the prevention may be complete (no detectable symptoms) or partial, such that fewer symptoms are observed than would likely occur absent treatment. In some embodiments, prevent refers to slowing the progression of the disease, disorder or condition or inhibiting progression thereof to a harmful or otherwise undesired state.
[0091] An "effective amount" is an amount sufficient for a compound to accomplish a stated purpose relative to the absence of the compound (e.g., achieve the effect for which it is administered, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, increase enzyme activity, reduce a signaling pathway, or reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition). An example of an "effective amount" is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease, which could also be referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount." A "reduction" of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A "prophylactically effective amount" of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or their symptoms. The full prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. The exact amounts will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins). The therapeutically effective amount can be ascertained by measuring relevant physiological effects, and it can be adjusted in connection with the dosing regimen and diagnostic analysis of the subject’s condition, and the like.
[0092] As is well known in the art, therapeutically effective amounts for use in humans can also be determined from animal models. For example, a dose for humans can be formulated to achieve a concentration that has been found to be effective in animals. The dosage in humans can be adjusted by monitoring compounds effectiveness and adjusting the dosage upwards or downwards, as described above. Adjusting the dose to achieve maximal efficacy in humans based on the methods described above and other methods is well within the capabilities of the ordinarily skilled artisan. Adjusting the dose to achieve maximal therapeutic window efficacy or toxicity in humans based on the methods described above and other methods is well within the capabilities of the ordinarily skilled artisan.
[0093] The term "therapeutically effective amount", as used herein, refers to that amount of the therapeutic agent sufficient to ameliorate the disorder, as described above. For example, for the given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount will show an increase or decrease of at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or at least 100%. Therapeutic efficacy can also be expressed as "-fold" increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can have at least a 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or more effect over a control.
[0094] Dosages may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the compound being employed. The dose administered to a patient, in the context of the present invention should be sufficient to effect a beneficial therapeutic response in the patient over time. The size of the dose also will be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side-effects. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the practitioner. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under circumstances is reached. Dosage amounts and intervals can be adjusted individually to provide levels of the administered compound effective for the particular clinical indication being treated. This will provide a therapeutic regimen that is commensurate with the severity of the individual's disease state. [0095] As used herein, the term "administering" means administration by inhalation or intranasal administration. The term "intranasal" refers to administration of the composition to any portion of the nasal epithelium.
[0096] Administering may also mean oral administration, administration as a suppository, topical contact, intravenous, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intralesional, intrathecal, intracranial, or subcutaneous administration, or the implantation of a slow-release device (e.g., a mini-osmotic pump) to a subject. Administration is by any route, including parenteral and transmucosal (e.g., buccal, sublingual, palatal, gingival, nasal, vaginal, rectal, or transdermal). Parenteral administration includes, e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, intra arteriole, intradermal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intraventricular, and intracranial. Other modes of delivery include, but are not limited to, the use of liposomal formulations, intravenous infusion, transdermal patches, etc. By "co-administer" it is meant that a composition described herein is administered at the same time, just prior to, or just after the administration of one or more additional therapies (e.g., anti-inflammatory agent). The compound of the invention can be administered alone or can be co-administered to the patient. Co-administration is meant to include simultaneous or sequential administration of the compound individually or in combination (more than one compound or agent). Thus, the preparations can also be combined, when desired, with other active substances (e.g. to reduce metabolic degradation). Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. In some embodiments, the compositions are water or water/propylene glycol solutions. The compositions of the present invention may additionally include components to provide sustained release and/or comfort.
[0097] By "co-administer" it is meant that a composition described herein is administered at the same time, just prior to, or just after the administration of one or more additional therapies. The compounds of the disclosure can be administered alone or can be co administered to the patient. Co-administration is meant to include simultaneous or sequential administration of the compounds individually or in combination (more than one compound). [0098] In some embodiments, co-administration includes administering one active agent within 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours, 2 days, 4 days, 1 week or 1 month of a second active agent. Co-administration includes administering two active agents simultaneously, approximately simultaneously (e.g., within about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes of each other), or sequentially in any order. In some embodiments, co-administration can be accomplished by co-formulation, i.e., preparing a single pharmaceutical composition including both active agents. In other embodiments, the active agents can be formulated separately. In another embodiment, the active and/or adjunctive agents may be linked or conjugated to one another.
[0099] The term "anti-inflammatory agent" is used in accordance with its plain ordinary meaning and refers to a composition (e.g., compound, drug, antagonist, inhibitor, modulator) used in any way to reduce inflammation or swelling. In some embodiments, an anti inflammatory agent is an agent identified herein having utility in methods of treating an inflammatory disease or disorder. In some embodiments, an anti-inflammatory agent is an agent approved by the FDA or similar regulatory agency of a country other than the USA, for reducing swelling and inflammation.
[0100] For any compound, pharmaceutical composition, and/or anti-inflammatory agent described herein, the therapeutically effective amount can be initially determined from cell culture assays. Target concentrations will be those concentrations of active compound(s) that are capable of achieving the methods described herein, as measured using the methods described herein or known in the art.
[0101] As is well known in the art, therapeutically effective amounts for use in humans can also be determined from animal models. For example, a dose for humans can be formulated to achieve a concentration that has been found to be effective in animals. The dosage in humans can be adjusted by monitoring compounds effectiveness and adjusting the dosage upwards or downwards, as described above. Adjusting the dose to achieve maximal efficacy in humans based on the methods described above and other methods is well within the capabilities of the ordinarily skilled artisan.
[0102] Dosages may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the compound being employed. The dose administered to a patient, in the context of the present disclosure should be sufficient to affect a beneficial therapeutic response in the patient over time. The size of the dose also will be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side-effects. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the practitioner. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under circumstances is reached.
[0103] Dosage amounts and intervals can be adjusted individually to provide levels of the administered compound effective for the particular clinical indication being treated. This will provide a therapeutic regimen that is commensurate with the severity of the individual's disease state.
[0104] Utilizing the teachings provided herein, an effective prophylactic or therapeutic treatment regimen can be planned that does not cause substantial toxicity and yet is effective to treat the clinical symptoms demonstrated by the particular patient. This planning should involve the careful choice of active compound by considering factors such as compound potency, relative bioavailability, patient body weight, presence and severity of adverse side effects, preferred mode of administration and the toxicity profile of the selected agent.
[0105] As used herein, the term "anaphylaxis" refers to an allergic reaction involving multiple organ systems in a subject upon contact with an allergen whether or not that allergen is identifiable.
[0106] As used herein, the term "allergen" refers to any chemical capable of causing an immune system response in a subject including, but not limited to, chemicals found in drugs, food, plants, insect bites, and insect stings.
[0107] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to ingredients that are not biologically or otherwise undesirable for administration to a living subject.
[0108] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" is meant to include salts of the active compounds that are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present disclosure contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present disclosure contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p- tolyl sulfonic, citric, tartaric, oxalic, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like (see, for example, Berge etal. , "Pharmaceutical Salts,"
Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present disclosure contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
[0109] Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist as salts, such as with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The present disclosure includes such salts. Non-limiting examples of such salts include hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, phosphates, sulfates, methanesulfonates, nitrates, maleates, acetates, citrates, fumarates, proprionates, tartrates (e.g., (+)-tartrates, (-)-tartrates, or mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures), succinates, benzoates, and salts with amino acids such as glutamic acid, and quaternary ammonium salts (e.g. methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, and the like). These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.
[0110] The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound may differ from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents. In some embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. The neutral forms of the compounds may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in a conventional manner. The parent form of the compounds differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but, unless specifically indicated, the salts disclosed herein are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present disclosure.
[0111] In some embodiments, epinephrine salts may include citrate, hydrochloride, sulfate, tartrate, phosphate, acetate, malate, maleate, succinate, ascorbate, carbonate, mesylate, and lactate salts. One of skill in the art could use other pharmaceutically acceptable epinephrine salts in the formulations disclosed herein.
[0112] In addition to salt forms, the present disclosure provides compounds, which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present disclosure. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein may be converted in vivo after administration. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present disclosure by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment, such as, for example, when contacted with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.
[0113] Certain compounds of the present disclosure can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. Certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present disclosure and are intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0114] "Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" and "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refer to a substance that aids the administration of a compound to and absorption by a subject and can be included in the compositions of the present disclosure without causing a significant adverse toxicological effect on the patient. Such preparations can be sterilized and, if desired, mixed with auxiliary agents such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, coloring, and/or aromatic substances and the like that do not deleteriously react with the compounds of the disclosure. One of skill in the art will recognize that other pharmaceutical excipients are useful in the present disclosure. Examples of preservatives include, but are not limited to, butyl paraben, methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, sodium benzoate, chlorobutanol, benzalkonium chloride, benzoic acid and combinations thereof.
[0115] It is understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be suggested to persons skilled in the art and are to be included within the spirit and purview of this application and scope of the appended claims.

[0636] Example 2: A Pilot Study for Absorption of Intranasal Epinephrine Compared to Conventional Intramuscular Epinephrine.
[0637] The purpose of this study was to obtain pharmacokinetic data of epinephrine spray formulations administered via intranasal ("IN") route for comparison with epinephrine administered via intramuscular (IM) route (using autoinjectors commercially available from Mylan and Impax) in healthy adult volunteers.
[0638] The pilot study was designed as a 15-subject, 5-way cross-over design, testing:
• 5.0 mg nasal (IN)
• 2.0 mg nasal (IN)
• 0.15 mg Impax autoinj ector (IM)
• 0.3 mg Impax autoinjector (IM)
• 0.3 mg Mylan autoinjector (IM)
[0639] Objectives:
1. To verify that epinephrine could be administered via IN administration using the device disclosed herein (e.g., FIG. 1);
2. To assess plasma concentration variability of IN vs. IM administration of epinephrine to determine the sample size for the pivotal study;
3. To determine the optimal IN dose to take into a pivotal study; and
4. Safety and tolerance of IN dosing.
[0640] Study Results:
[0641] All Pre-Defmed Objectives Achieved
1. No untoward events in any subject dosed with IN;
2. No correlation of plasma concentration to HR;
3. Confirmed device could deliver therapeutic levels of epinephrine via the nasal mucosa; and
4. Confirmed sample size and study design for pivotal study.
5. Although the pilot study was not designed or powered to determine statistical comparability between the IN and IM products, the data suggested that the plasma epinephrine levels for the 2.0 and 5.0 mg IN doses were slightly lower than those seen in the IM doses.
[0642] Based on the study findings, 6.0 mg IN doses will be used in the pivotal study design, in addition to the 5.0 mg IN dose, to ensure relative comparability to the Mylan generic IM product and a point of comparison to the pilot study are achieved. The results indicate comparability to the IM product (FIG. 2).
[0643] The IN and IM pilot study data confirms the relative dose linearity for these formulations. [0644] Pharmacokinetic Analytics
