摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a dry powder composition comprising porous carrier particles associated with one, two, three or more micronized drugs or APIs wherein an ordered mixture between the micronized drug or drugs and the carrier particle results, such that the micronized drug or drugs adhere strongly to the carrier particles forming a stable ordered mixture of respirable agglomerates. Embodiments of the present invention further comprise a spray-drying process to create the respirable agglomerates. Embodiments of the present invention further relate to the use of the dry powder formulation comprising respirable agglomerates for the treatment of a patient having a disease or condition which is treatable thereby.
摘要:
Phospholipid based powders for drug delivery applications are disclosed. The powders comprise a polyvalent cation in an amount effective to increase the gel-to-liquid crystal transition temperature of the particle compared to particles without the polyvalent cation. The powders are hollow and porous and are preferably administered via inhalation.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the treatment of an endobronchial infection in a patient by administering to the endobronchial system of the patient a dry powder aerosol composition comprising from 90 to 130 mg of an aminoglycoside antibiotic one to three times a day for a first treatment period of 20 to 36 days.
摘要:
A microparticle for drug delivery comprises an active agent and an excipient, the excipient comprising a metal ion-lipid complex. The metal ion is chosen from the group consisting of lanthanide metals, actinide metals, group IIa and IIIb metals, transition metals or mixtures thereof. The lipid comprises a phospholipid. The complex results in a glass transition temperature increase of the microparticle.

摘要:
Engineered particles are provided may be used for the delivery of a bioactive agent to the respiratory tract of a patient. The particles may be used in the form of dry powders or in the form of stabilized dispersions comprising a nonaqueous continuous phase. In particularly preferred embodiments the particles may be used in conjunction with an inhalation device such as a dry powder inhaler, metered dose inhaler or a nebulizer.
摘要:
A respiratory dispersion is provided for the pulmonary delivery of at least two bioactive agents. The dispersion comprises a propellant suspension medium having dispersed therein a plurality of perforated microstructures, wherein the two bioactive agents are incorporated into individual perforated microstructures.
