Abstract
The purpose of this review is to summarize essential pharmacological, pharmaceutical, and clinical aspects in the field of orally inhaled therapies that may help scientists seeking to develop new products. After general comments on the rationale for inhaled therapies for respiratory disease, the focus is on products approved approximately over the last half a century. The organization of these sections reflects the key pharmacological categories. Products for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease include β -2 receptor agonists, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists, glucocorticosteroids, and cromones as well as their combinations. The antiviral and antibacterial inhaled products to treat respiratory tract infections are then presented. Two "mucoactive" products-dornase α and mannitol, which are both approved for patients with cystic fibrosis-are reviewed. These are followed by sections on inhaled prostacyclins for pulmonary arterial hypertension and the challenging field of aerosol surfactant inhalation delivery, especially for prematurely born infants on ventilation support. The approved products for systemic delivery via the lungs for diseases of the central nervous system and insulin for diabetes are also discussed. New technologies for drug delivery by inhalation are analyzed, with the emphasis on those that would likely yield significant improvements over the technologies in current use or would expand the range of drugs and diseases treatable by this route of administration. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This review of the key aspects of approved orally inhaled drug products for a variety of respiratory diseases and for systemic administration should be helpful in making judicious decisions about the development of new or improved inhaled drugs. These aspects include the choices of the active ingredients, formulations, delivery systems suitable for the target patient populations, and, to some extent, meaningful safety and efficacy endpoints in clinical trials.

Correlations between surface composition and aerosolization of jet-milled dry powder inhaler formulations with pharmaceutical lubricants. Int J Pharm 2019; 568:118504. [PMID: 31299339 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2019.118504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2019] [Revised: 07/03/2019] [Accepted: 07/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Co-jet-milling drugs and lubricants may enable simultaneous particle size reduction and surface coating to achieve satisfactory aerosolization performance. This study aims to establish the relationship between surface lubricant coverage and aerosolization behavior of a model drug (ciprofloxacin HCl) co-jet-milled with lubricants [magnesium stearate (MgSt) or l-leucine]. The co-jet-milled formulations were characterized for particle size, morphology, cohesion, Carr's index, and aerosolization performance. The surface lubricant coating was assessed by probing surface chemical composition using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The effects of co-jet-milling on the surface energy and in vitro dissolution of ciprofloxacin were also evaluated. Our results indicated that, in general, the ciprofloxacin co-jet-milled with l-leucine at >0.5% w/w showed a significant higher fine particle fraction (FPF) compared with the ciprofloxacin jet-milled alone. The FPF values plateau at or above 5% w/w for both MgSt and l-leucine. We have established the quantitative correlations between surface lubricant coverage and aerosolization in the tested range for each of the lubricants. More importantly, our results suggest different mechanisms to improve aerosolization for MgSt-coating and l-leucine-coating, respectively: MgSt-coating reduces inter-particulate interactions through the formation of low surface energy coating films, while l-leucine-coating not only reduces the surface energy but also creates rough particle surfaces that reduce inter-particulate contact area. Furthermore, surface coatings with 5% w/w MgSt (which is hydrophobic) did not lead to substantial changes in in vitro dissolution. Our findings have shown that the coating structure/quality and their effects could be highly dependent on the process and the coating material. The findings from this mechanistic study provide fundamental understanding of the critical effects of MgSt and l-leucine surface coverages on aerosolization and powder flow properties of inhalation particles.
