摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition for pulmonary delivery comprises glycopyrrolate in a controlled release formulation, wherein, on administration, the glycopyrrolate exerts its pharmacological effect over a period greater than 12 hours.
摘要:
A patient suffering from an endobronchial infection is treated by administering to the patient for inhalation a dose of less than about 4.0 ml of a nebulized aerosol formulation comprising from about 60 to about 200 mg/ml of an aminoglycoside antibiotic, such as tobramycin, in a physiologically acceptable carrier in a time period of less than about 10 minutes. Unit dose devices for storage and delivery of the aminoglycoside antibiotic formulations are also provided.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for therapy of cystic fibrosis, asthma, and other conditions characterized by defective chloride transport are provided. The compositions comprise one or more compounds such as flavones and/or isoflavones, ascorbate and/or derivatives thereof capable of stimulating chloride transport in epithelial tissues. Therapeutic methods involve the administration (e.g., orally or via inhalation) of such compositions to a patient afflicted with cystic fibrosis, asthma, and/or another condition responsive to stimulation of chloride transport.
摘要:
A therapeutic method is provided to treat neutrophil-associated pulmonary diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, by locally administering to a mammal in need of such treatment, an effective amount of a topical anesthetic, such as lidocaine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
摘要:
There invention discloses aqueous dispersions of nanoparticulate aerosol formulations, dry powder nanoparticulate aerosol formulation, propellant-based aerosol formulations, methods of using the formulations in aerosol delivery devices, and methods of making such formulations. The nanoparticles of the aqueous dispersions or dry powder formulations comprise insoluble drug particles having a surface modifier on the surface thereof.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to a method of increasing cytosolic Ca2+ levels in mammalian cells comprising contacting P2X receptor Ca2+ entry channels or any and all other Ca2+ entry channels or mechanisms on the cell with an effective amount of a small molecule, and a composition comprising the small molecule in a delivery system. The invention has broad applicability in the pharmaceutical industry as a method of treating airway diseases (such as cystic fibrosis and asthma), ailments of the lung and airways (such as those caused by common cold pathogens or allergens in allergy), kidney diseases and renal hypertensive disorders (such as polycystic kidney disease and salt-sensitive hypertension syndromes), and endocrine disorders (such as diabetes).

摘要:
A fosfomycin plus tobramycin combination formulation for delivery by aerosolization is described. The concentrated fosfomycin tobramycin combination formulation containing an efficacious amount of fosfomycin plus tobramycin is able to inhibit susceptible bacteria. Fosfomycin and tobramycin are formulated separately in a dual ampoule such that when reconstituted, the pH is between 4.5 and 8.0 or as a dry powder. The method for treatment of respiratory tract infections by a formulation delivered as an aerosol having mass medium average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5 μ, produced by a jet or ultrasonic nebulizer (or equivalent) or dry powder inhaler.
摘要:
Chronic obstructive airway diseases are treated by administering an osmotically active compound such as a salt, sugar, sugar alcohol, or organic osmolyte to the afflicted airway surface. The compound may be administered as a liquid or dry powder aerosol formulation. Diseases that can be treated by the method include cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and ciliary dyskinesia. The formulations of the invention can also be used in conjunction with other active agents such as bronchodilators, sodium channel blockers, antibiotics, enzymes, or purinoceptor agonists on airway surfaces.
摘要:
Therapeutic treatments using the direct application of selected structures of antimicrobial metals in free-standing powder form, solution form and/or suspension form in therapeutically effective amounts. The selected structures of antimicrobial metals serve as an antimicrobial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an immuno modulator agent, an enzyme modulator agent, and/or an anti-tumor agent, for human and/or animal use.
