- changes produced by the action of mannitol from the new composite particle, in viscosity of 0.1% mucin solution were measured, the mucin solution was assumed as bronchial mucus reference standard. It follows from the obtained results that mannitol in quantity of 0.05 ing per 1 g of the mucus standard reduces its viscosity more than three times.
- a composite particle, containing a carrier in form of lactose, with added surfactant (DPPC) and mucolytic substance (mannitol), obtained by the new method has a diameter corresponding to the respirable fraction - in terms of size of particles delivered into the respiratory system by inhalation.
- the diameter may be adjusted by selection of concentrations of active ingredients in the water solution, from which the primary droplets are generated, and then in the drying process of the solid particle.
- the obtained particles may get microporoiis structure, and the apparent density of the composite material is smaller than 0.8 g/cm 3 .
- composite material obtained in such a way shows advantageous properties: it liquefies mucus and is surface-active, what activates transport of a drug particle attached to the carrier particle under the mucus surface and thus intensifies therapeutic effects.
- the drag carrier manufacturing method consists in that the composite carrier particles are obtained from a solution containing a main substance, mucolytic and surfactant in volatile solvent, common for all dissolved constituents, in the process of the solution atomization to the droplets of diameters initially not greater than 30 ⁇ m and the said droplets are formed from the solution by pneumatic method in the liquid aerosol generation system 1.
- Solvent evaporates whilst droplets pass through the multi step drying system 2 , with controlled heating zones, and preset for a particular temperature profile, in a spray-drying process, where the temperature at the inlet to the oven is at least 1O 0 C higher than the solvent boiling point, and the temperature in the exit zone of the oven is at least 1O 0 C lower than the solvent boiling point.
- the dried particles are separated in the non-respirable fraction pre-separation system 3, where a fraction of powder particles greater in size than 5 ⁇ m is separated; and the remaining fraction of particles smaller than 5 ⁇ m, having passed through the respirable fraction separation system 4, is received from a collector as a final product.
- Example 6 The drug carrier manufacturing is carried out as described in Example 4, except that the droplets of solution are formed in the liquid aerosol generation system 1 by ultrasonic method, and that the carrier particles formed during the spray-drying process in the multi step drying system 2 and provided with controlled heating zones, are characterized by expanded surface structure, due to microcracks of the solid phase.
- Example 6
- the drug carrier manufacturing is carried out as described in Example 4 or Example 5, except that the drug carrier particles are obtained from a water solution containing lactose as a main component, at amount of 0.07 g per 1 ml of water, non-ionic osmotic agent mannitol as mucolytic, at amount of 0.06 g per 1 ml of water, to reduce mucus viscosity, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as surfactant, at amount of 0.05 mg per 1 ml of water.
- DPPC dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
- the solution is atomized to droplets in the liquid aerosol generation system 1, which is an ultrasonic generator of vibration frequency of 2.5 MHz, then the droplets are dried in the multi step drying system 2, which is a pipe oven with temperatures preset downstream to: 15O 0 C, 100 0 C and 8O 0 C, respectively.
- Particles of an average mass diameter below 3.5 ⁇ in are obtained in a respirable fraction separation system 4. Microscopic observations proved that the particles have a porous, morphologically developed microstructure, of apparent density 0.8 g/cm 3 .
- a plant for manufacturing composite carrier particles comprises: a system 1 for liquid aerosol generation from a multicomponent solution/suspension, followed by a multi step drying system 2 with controlled heating zones, a system 3 for pre-separation of a non-respirable fraction of powder particles, and a respirable fraction separation system 4.
- a liquid aerosol in form of a mist composed of droplets suspended in air is produced from a multicomponent solution or suspension of carrier and active substances in a suitable solvent, in a system of aerosol generation 1, operating on a pneumatic, ultrasonic or other principle of atomization.
- a jet of fresh, cleaned and dried air flows in the generation system 1.
- the generated mist enters the drying system 2, where heating zones of different temperatures allow for precise control of the crystallization process that proceeds as a result of the solvent evaporation from the droplets.
- the obtained dry powder aerosol leaves the drying system 2, and undergoes a separation - first in the non-respirable fraction pre- separation system 3, and then - in the respirable fraction separation system 4.
- the pre-separator 3 can be an inertial dust collector, used for separation of particles having diameters out of the respirable limits, i.e. greater than 5 ⁇ m, whereas the respirable fraction separation system 4 is a high-performance dedusting system, for separation of particles smaller than 5 ⁇ m, that are a desired product used as a powder for inhalation. After the powder separation, the air jet flows out from the respirable fraction separation system 4, to the outside of the plant.
- the enhanced effectiveness of the composite carrier in comparison to the lactose particles is connected with the fact that molecules DPPC associated with lactose are in their surface area oriented with the hydroxycarbon chains to the outside of the particle. As the result we can observe hindering effect.
- the particles of the composite carrier do not stick to each other and may be easily entrained. These effect does not occur in relation to the porous particles known from the prior art.
