摘要:
Submicron particles of water-insoluble compounds, particularly drugs, are prepared by simultaneously stabilizing microparticulate suspensions of same with surface modifier molecules by rapid expansion into an aqueous medium from a compressed solution of the compound and surface modifiers in a liquefied gas and optionally homogenizing the aqueous suspension thus formed with a high pressure homogenizer.

Methods and apparatus for delivering physiologically active compounds to a target human or animal employ a supercritical fluid solution comprising a supercritical fluid solvent and a physiologically active solute. The supercritical fluid solution is passed into a subcritical region to evaporate the solvent and form a gas-borne dispersion of solute particles. The gas-borne dispersion of solute particles is administered directly to the target human or animal. The apparatus for delivering the physiologically active compound are of the hand-held type.
摘要:
L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils d'administration de composés physiologiquement actifs à un être humain ou à un animal cible, qui utilise une solution liquide supercritique contenant un solvant liquide supercritique et un soluté physiologiquement actif. On fait passer ladite solution supercritique dans une zone sous-critique afin d'entraîner l'évaporation du solvant et une dispersion des particules du soluté dans du gaz. La dispersion dans du gaz des particules du soluté est administrée directement à l'être humain ou à l'animal cible. Les appareils d'administration du composé physiologiquement actif tiennent dans la main.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a pulverous preparation of a (sub)micron-sized biologically active compound comprising the steps of: (1) dissolving a biologically active compound under elevated pressure in a compressed gas, liquid or supercritical fluid containing a surface modifier; or in compressed dimethylether optionally containing a surface modifier; (2a) rapidly expanding the compressed solution of step (1) thereby precipitating the dissolved compound; or (2b) spraying the compressed solution of step (1) into an antisolvant phase optionally containing a surface modifier under vacuum, atmospheric pressure or elevated pressure; and (3) optionally converting the antisolvant phase of step (2b) into a pulverous preparation using conventional powder processing techniques. With the process according to the present invention formation of aggregations or flocculations of particles dissolved in the supercritical solution is prevented; moreover, the addition of cosolvents is not required, thus increasing the stabilisation of the suspension on an industrial scale.

摘要:
Particles of water insoluble biologically active compounds, particularly water-insoluble drugs, with an average size of 100 nm to about 300 nm, are prepared by dissolving the compound in a solution then spraying the solution into compressed gaz, liquid or supercritical fluid in the presence of appropriate surface modifiers.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for forming fine particles of a desired substance comprising dissolving said substance in a fluid such as water to form a solution and mixing the solution with a second fluid such as supercritical carbon dioxide which becomes a gas upon rapid pressure release, and with which the first fluid is at least partially immiscible, and releasing the pressure to form an air-borne dispersion or aerosol comprising particles having an average diameter between about 0.1 and about 6.5 µm.
