- the delivery device 1 can generally be operated by removing the safety pin 13 in the direction indicated by arrow D in FIG. 1 A.
- the user may place the proximal end of driver 11 in contact to the target site and apply a force to the upper body 4 in the proximal direction.
- the upper body 4 moves in a proximal direction over lower body 3, such that a portion of needle 14 (which interconnected to upper body 4) extends from the proximal end of driver 11.
- the movement of upper body 4 in a proximal direction also activates the actuator 5.
- Activation of actuator 5 causes an automatic sequence of movements. First, activation of the actuator 5 causes the first releasable retainer member 6 to release plunger 8.
- the plunger 8 is then displaced in a proximal direction by the first energy storage member 7. Movement of the plunger 8 in the proximal direction will continue until reaching the second plunger position at the proximal end of the fluid container 9 (FIG. 1C). As plunger 8 moves proximally, the liquid is delivered from/urged out of fluid container 9 to needle 14, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the first energy storage member 7 is operable to continue to apply energy to the plunger 8 that is sufficient for plunger 8 to engage second releasable retainer member 12 such that driver 11 is released from lower body 3.
- the user may hold the device to the target site for a prescribed time period, which may be a time sufficient for the liquid to be delivered/urged out of the fluid container 9 to and through needle 14 for delivery to the target site.
- the prescribed time period may be selected based on factors such as the volume of fluid to be delivered and the configuration of device 1.
- the user reduces the force F applied to the upper body 4.
- the second energy storage member 10 exerts a force on the lower body 3 in the distal direction (as indicated by arrow C in FIG. ID) which in turn displaces upper body 4 in a distal direction which is sufficient, in combination with the reduced force F applied to the upper body 4 to displace delivery device 1 in a distal direction relative to the target site such that needle 14 is retracted from the target site.
- driver 11 is displaced proximally by second energy storage member 10 relative to the needle and lower body 3 from its first driver position (FIG. 1C) to a second driver position (FIG. ID).
- driver 11 is displaced with respect to the lower body 3, the needle 14 is retracted back from the target site and is enclosed within driver 11.
- the delivery device 1 is shown in a first configuration and a second configuration respectively.
- the upper body 4 is displaced over the lower body 3 in a proximal direction, as indicated by arrow A in FIGS. 1A and IB, along a longitudinal axis L of the delivery device between a first upper body position (FIG. 1A) and a second upper body position (FIG. IB).
- a distal portion 3 a of the lower body 3 makes contact with a proximal portion 5a of actuator 5 (FIG. 1A), which activates actuator 5.
- the actuator 5 may be any suitable device for activating the delivery device 1, such as, for example, a handle, a lever, a push button, lock, a slidable button or a trigger.
- the plunger 8 Prior to activation of actuator 5, the plunger 8 is held relative to the upper body in the first plunger position by the first releasable retainer member 6.
- the first releasable retainer member 6 is configured to release the plunger 8 and release the first energy storage member 7 from its first configuration to second configuration wherein the first energy storage member 7 is able to release energy to the plunger 8 to displace plunger 8 when in the second configuration, after actuator 5 has been activated by movement of the upper body 4 in the proximal direction from the first actuator position (FIG. 1A) to the second actuator position (FIG. IB).
- the first releasable retainer member 6 can be any suitable mechanism for releasably retaining the plunger 8 and releasing the first energy storage member 7, such as, for example, a mechanical linkage, a compressed ring, a spring-loaded rod, interlocking threads, a tensioned latch or tab or the like.
- the interlocking threads are a helical male and female thread arrangement.
- the needle 14 which is in fluid communication with the fluid container 9 is housed within the driver 11.
- the delivery device moves to the second configuration, a portion of needle 14 extends outside the lower body 3 (due to proximal movement of the upper body 4 and the interconnected needle 14 relative to lower body 3) for insertion into the target site of a subject at a desired depth.
- movement of the delivery device 1 from the first configuration to second configuration will extend the needle 14 outside of the lower body 3 for insertion into, for example, the IM site of the subject.
- the plunger 8 is displaced in a proximal direction relative to upper body 4, as indicated by arrow B, along a longitudinal axis L of the delivery device 1 between a first plunger position (FIG. IB) and second plunger position (FIG. 1 C) by deployment of the first energy storage member 7.
- a portion of the proximal end of the plunger 8 is positioned at the distal end of the fluid container 9.
- the plunger 8 is in fluid communication with the fluid contained within fluid container 9.
- the plunger 8 When the plunger 8 is displaced (or advanced) to the second plunger position, the plunger 8 is advanced from the distal end of the fluid container 9 to the proximal end of the fluid container 9. In this manner, as the plunger 8 is displaced (or advanced) between the first and second plunger positions, fluid is conveyed/urged out from within fluid container 9 through the needle 14 and into the IM site of the subject. Thus, movement of the delivery device 1 from the second configuration to third configuration delivers fluid into the IM site of the subject.
- the driver 11 prior to the plunger 8 reaching the second plunger position, the driver 11 is held in a secure position to the lower body 3 by the second releasable retainer member 12.
- the second releasable retainer member 12 is configured to release the driver 11 once the plunger 8 reaches the second plunger position and release the second energy storage member 10 from its first configuration (FIG. 1C) to its second configuration (FIG. ID), wherein the second energy storage member 10 is able to release energy to the driver 11 to displace the driver 11 when in the second configuration.
- the second releasable retainer member 12 can be any suitable mechanism for releasably retaining the driver 11 and deploying the second energy storage member 10, such as, for example, a mechanical linkage, a compressed ring, a spring-loaded rod, a tensioned latch or tab or the like.
- the second energy storage member 10 Upon release of the driver 11 by the second releasable retainer member 12, the second energy storage member 10 is also released from its first configuration to its second configuration. Energy released from the second energy storage member 10 displaces the lower body 3 and the upper body 4 in the distal direction, which is sufficient, in combination with the reduced force F applied to the upper body 4 to displace delivery device 1 in a distal direction relative to the target site such that needle 14 is retracted from the target site. As this happens the driver 11 is displaced by second energy storage member 10 proximally, as indicated by arrow D in FIG. ID, along the longitudinal axis L of delivery device 1 from its first driver position (FIG. 1C) to its second driver position (FIG. ID) where the needle 14 is fully within driver 11.
- the first and second energy storage members 7 and 10 each independently can be any device for storing energy.
- one or both of the first and second energy storage members 7 and 10 may be a mechanical energy storage member, such as a spring, a device containing compressed gas, a device containing a vapor pressure-based propellant or something similar or an electrical energy storage member, such as a battery, a capacitor, a magnetic energy storage member or something similar
- one or more of the first and second energy storage members 7 and 10 can be a chemical energy storage member, such as a container containing two substances that, when mixed, react to produce energy.
- the first energy storage member 7 moves within the upper body 4 along axis L between a first configuration (FIGS.
- first energy storage member 7 When the first energy storage member 7 is in its first configuration, it has a first potential energy. When the first energy storage member 7 is in its second configuration, it has a second potential energy that is less than the first potential energy.
- the first energy storage member 7 is operably coupled to the plunger 8 such that when the first energy storage member 7 moves from its first configuration to its second configuration, it converts at least a portion of its first potential energy into kinetic energy to displace the plunger 8 in the proximal direction from the first plunger position to the second plunger position.
- the movement of the first energy storage member 7 from its first configuration to its second configuration results in the release of energy that acts upon the plunger 8 to move the plunger 8 from the first plunger position (FIGS. 1 A and IB) to the second plunger position (FIG. 1C) and thereby dispense fluid contained within the fluid container 9.
- the energy released is also sufficient to activate the second releasable retainer member 12, thereby detaching the driver 11 from lower body 3.
- the second energy storage member 10 can be moved within the driver 11 and lower body 3 along L between a first configuration (FIG. 1C) and a second configuration (FIG. ID).

- the plunger rod 142 may include a plunger piston contact member 143d within cavity 143c (FIG. 3).
- the plunger rod 142 and first energy storage member 134 are operatively coupled at the distal end 143 a of the plunger rod 142.
- the plunger rod 142 is configured to be slidably movable within the tower body 120 in a longitudinal axis L shown in FIG. 3.
- An outwardly projecting tab 143e (FIG. 2) on the outer surface of the cylindrical body 143 is received within the longitudinally extending slot 125 in the tower body 120.
- the slot 125 may guide plunger rod 142 during longitudinal movement of the plunger rod 142 within the tower body 120.
- the plunger rod 142 may also include a threaded member 145 extending in a distal direction from the distal end 143a of the cylindrical body 143.
- a distal portion of the threaded member 145 is received within the threaded opening 132c of the first releasable retainer member 132 and actuator 130 is also in engagement with the first releasable retainer member 132.
- first energy storage member 134 When first energy storage member 134 is in its first position (FIG. 3) it will be exerting a force upon plunger rod 142 in a proximal direction which, acting through the threaded connection between plunger rod 142 and first releasable retainer member 132, will bias member 132 to rotate. However, rotation of first releasable retainer member 132 is prevented by engagement with actuator 130, which is in turn prevented from rotational movement by engagement of the tab 130a with the longitudinally extending slot (not shown) on the interior surface of the upper body 110. Additionally, plunger rod 142 is prevented from rotational movement by engagement of outwardly projecting tab 143e within the longitudinally extending slot 125 in the tower body 120.
- plunger rod 142 cannot disengage from first releasable retainer member 132 whilst actuator 130 is in the first actuator position.
- actuator 130 is lightly restrained from motion in the distal direction by frictional forces with first releasable retainer member 132.
- the movement of the actuator 130 in the proximal direction is restricted by the distal surface of collar 136 and may only move distally from the first actuator position. This is caused by movement of lower body 120 in a distal direction from the first actuator position (FIG. 3) to the second actuator position (FIG. 4), whereby the distal end 120a of the lower body 120 will contact the proximal surface of the actuator 130, displacing actuator 130 in a distal direction from the first actuator position and thereby disengaging the actuator 130 from the first releasable retainer member 132.
- the member 132 As actuator 130 disengages with the first releasable retainer member 132, the member 132 is free to rotate about longitudinal axis L relative to collar 136, such that threaded member 145 and thereby plunger rod 142 is released to disengage from member 132 and is able to move in a proximal direction from the first plunger position to the second plunger position.
- actuator 130 may move distally within chamber 114 from the first actuator position as shown in FIG. 3 to the second actuator position shown in FIG. 4 such that actuator 130 disengages with first releasable retainer member 132.
- the actuator 130 is advanced in the distal direction by the movement of the lower body 120.
- the actuator 130 may include a tab 130a on the exterior circumference which engages a longitudinally extending slot (not shown) on the interior surface of the upper body 110, which may act to prevent rotation of actuator (130 about longitudinal axis L) relative to first upper body 110.
- such movement by the actuator 130 from the first actuator position to the second actuator position activates the delivery device 100 to cause a sequence of movements of the injection assembly 102 that subsequently leads to the injection and delivery of fluid contained within the injection assembly 102.
- the injection assembly 102 may further include a safety activation mechanism operatively coupled with actuator 130 which prevents the actuator 130 from moving in a distal direction thus preventing the first releasable retainer member 132 being activated and releasing the plunger 140 from engagement until the safety activation mechanism is activated.
- safety activation mechanism is configured to prevent the premature or accidental deployment of the delivery device 100.
- the safety activation mechanism can be comprised of any suitable mechanism, such as an energy storage member described above, a button, a pin, or similar mechanism. In such embodiments, regardless of whether the safety pin 112 has been released from engagement, the safety activation mechanism will prevent the actuator 130 from activation.
- the safety activation mechanism therefore acts as a second safety mechanism and will prevent the premature or accidental activation of the delivery device, irrespective of the release of safety pin 112.
- the safety pin 112 may also be releasably coupled to the lower body 120 and the upper body 110, preventing movement of the lower body 120 relative to the upper body 110, thus preventing displacement of the actuator 130 from the first actuator position.
- the injection assembly 102 also includes afluid container 150 and aneedle 160.
- the fluid container 150 is configured to hold a fluid.
- the fluid container 150 includes an open distal end 150a and a proximal end 150b comprising an outlet or orifice that is fluidly coupled to needle 160, such as by a luer connector, threads, a snap-fit, a latch, a lock, a friction fit coupling, an adhesive or any other suitable coupling features (not shown).
- the fluid container 150 may have a length of between about 10 millimeters (mm) to about 100 mm. In an embodiment the fluid container has a length of about 77 mm.
- the distal end 150a and proximal end 150b may have a diameter of between about 10 mm to about 25 mm.
- the orifice at the proximal end 150b may have a diameter of between about 0.05 mm to about 1.6 mm.
- the fluid container 150 defines an internal volume configured to house a fluid. In some embodiments the fluid container 150 may be configured to hold an amount of fluid in the range of about 1 milliliter (mL) to about 20 mL, or about 2 mL to about 15 mL, or about 3 mL to about 10 mL, or about 4 mL to about 6 mL.
- the injection assembly 102 also includes a first energy storage member 134. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
- the first energy storage member 134 is a mechanical energy storage member comprising a spring, such as, for example, a helical, compression, extension, torsion, constant, variable, variable stiffness or any other type of spring having a spring constant ranging between about 1 N/m to about 3000 N/m. In some embodiments the spring has a spring constant about 1680 N/m.
- the first energy storage member 134 is operatively coupled to the plunger 140 and releases energy to the plunger 140 to displace the plunger 140 in the proximal direction when the first energy storage member 134 moves from its first configuration to second configuration after the actuator 130 has been activated.
- the plunger 140 also includes a plunger piston 144.
- the plunger 140 may be formed as a single piece or as modular components. The modular components may be affixed to one another or located adjacently but not connected, so as to move together.
- the plunger 140 is sized and configured to be movably disposed within the fluid container 150 when it moves between the first plunger position and second plunger position.
- the plunger piston 144 has a distal end 144a and a proximal end 144b which is configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid disposed within the internal volume defined by the fluid container 150. In some embodiments, plunger piston 144 may be supplied with (and installed in) fluid container 150.
- plunger piston contact member 143d of the plunger rod 142 can be coupled to and/or in contact with the distal end 144a of the plunger tip 144. In other embodiments, there may be a gap between plunger piston contact member 143d and the distal end 144a of the plunger piston 144 (as shown in FIG. 3). In some embodiments, another component may be positioned between the plunger piston contact member 143 d and the distal end 144a of plunger piston 144. The component may be made from a compressible material, such as a foam and may minimize or dampen any forces/shocks between plunger rod 142 and plunger piston 144.
- the distal end 144a of the plunger piston 144 is configured to be movably displaced within the internal volume defined by the fluid container 150 by the energy released by the first energy storage member 134 when the first energy storage member 134 moves from its first configuration to second configuration. In this manner, the first energy storage member 134 acting on the plunger 140 can displace the plunger piston 144 proximally within fluid container 150 to expel the fluid through the orifice at proximal end 150b of fluid container 150.
- the sidewalls of the proximal end 144b of the plunger piston 144 may include a piston plunger seal 146 (FIG.
- the piston plunger seal can be made of an inert and/or biocompatible material. Example materials include rubber, silicone, plastic, polymers, any other suitable material or combination thereof.
- the piston plunger seal 146 can be monolithically formed with the plunger 140.
- the plunger 140 may also include one-way bendable tabs (not shown) to prevent movement of the plunger rod 142 in the distal direction once the plunger 140 has advanced to the second plunger position.
- the delivery device 100 includes a driver 170.
- the driver 170 is shown as a cylindrical plug having a distal end 170a and a proximal end 170b and is sized and configured to be moveable in a proximal direction from a first driver position to a second driver position relative to lower body 120.
- the driver 170 further includes an inner cavity 171 sized and configured to support the needle 160.
- the inner cavity 171 further includes an expanded region 172 sized to accommodate a lower portion of fluid container 150.
- the delivery device 100 also includes a second energy storage member 152.
- the second energy storage member 152 is a mechanical energy storage member comprising a spring, such as, for example, a helical, compression, extension, torsion, constant, variable, variable stiffness or any other type of spring having a spring constant ranging between about 1 N/m to about 500 N/m.
- the second energy storage member is a spring having a spring constant of 370 N/m.
- the second energy storage member 152 is operatively coupled to the driver 170 and releases energy to the driver 170 to displace the driver 170 from its first driver position to its second driver position relative to lower body 120 when the second energy storage member 152 moves from its first configuration to its second configuration after the second releasable retainer member 122 releases the driver 170.
- the delivery device 100 also includes a second releasable retainer member 122 which secures the lower body 120 to the driver 170 at a first driver position and is configured to release the driver 170 when the plunger 140 moves to the second plunger position.
- the second releasable retainer member 122 may be formed by one or more inwardly extending tabs formed in the surface of lower body 120 (FIG. 2), configured to engage corresponding openings 170c in the driver 170 when the second releasable retainer mechanism 122 is at the first position (FIG. 3).
- the second releasable retainer member 122 which may be what is commonly referred to as a snap (which may encompass a snap fit, snap joint snap lock or plastic clip) is inherently biased inwardly, so as to interferingly engage the opening 170c in the driver 170, such that a lower, inwardly protruding portion 122a of second releasable retainer member 122 engages the upper wall of opening 170c of the driver 170. With this arrangement, movement of the driver 170 relative to lower body 120 in the L direction is prevented.
- the second releasable retainer member 122 will then move from a first position to a second position, thereby releasing the lower body 120 from engagement with driver 170 (i.e., some of the energy released from the first energy member 134 is translated to the second releasable retainer member 122 when the plunger 140 is displaced to the second plunger position, the energy being sufficient to displace the second releasable retainer member 122 from a first position to a second position).
- delivery device 100 may further include a needle cover (not shown).
- the needle cover is configured to prevent needlestick injuries and maintain the sterility of the needle by providing a protective barrier around the needle.
- the needle cover can be manually removed before operation of the delivery device 100 or may be operable to automatically remove itself during the insertion of needle 160 into the subject then and re-cover the needle 160 after retraction of needle 160.
- FIGS. 3-6 To illustrate operation of the delivery device 100, a sequence of events illustrating the injection and delivery of fluid by the device 100, as well as the position of the various components, is discussed progressing from FIGS. 3-6.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the delivery device 100 in an initial position (i.e., first configuration), where the delivery device 100 is ready for use and activation.
- Upper body 110 is in a first upper body position.
- Actuator 130 is in the first actuator position.
- First and second energy storage members 134 and 152 are in their first configurations.
- the plunger 142 is held in place by the first releasable retainer member 132, the first releasable retainer member 132 being in engagement with the plunger 142 and the actuator 130.
- the driver 170 is at the first driver position and is cooperatively engaged with lower body 120.
- the needle 160 is fully within driver 170.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the delivery device 100 in a second configuration.
- a 2-step activation mechanism may be required to activate the actuator 130.
- the safety pin 112 is released from engagement and then the second safety activation mechanism which is configured to oppose the upward motion of the lower body 120 is released from engagement.
- activation may be a 1-step activation where either the safety pin 112 or safety activation mechanism is present and must be released, while in still other embodiments the delivery device 100 does not include the safety pin 112 or safety activation mechanism.
- the delivery device 100 can be activated when force is applied at the proximal end 170b of the driver 170. This is typically the reaction force at the IM site as the user holds on to the upper body 110 and exerts force F upon the upper body 110 in the proximal direction.
- the upper body 110 is moved relative to lower body 120 in the proximal direction from the first upper body position to the second upper body position (as indicated by arrow A in FIG 3).
- plunger 140, fluid container 150 and needle 160 are coupled to upper body 110 and will also move in the proximal direction relative to lower body 120, such that a portion of needle 160 extends outside of the driver 170 to inject into the target site of the subject at a desired depth.
- Movement of upper body 110 moves actuator 130 in a distal direction relative to upper body 110 from the first actuator position to the second actuator position through contact of the distal end 120a of lower body 120 with the proximal end of actuator 130.
- the first releasable retainer member 132 is now able to release from the plunger rod 142.
- Energy is released from the first energy storage member 134 as it moves from its first configuration to second configuration, causing the plunger rod 142 to begin movement in the proximal direction within the chamber 114 and driving the plunger piston 144 towards proximal end 150b of fluid container 150 (as indicated by arrow B in FIG. 4).
- movement by the plunger rod 142 in the proximal direction towards second plunger position begins delivery of fluid from the fluid container 150 to the needle 160 and into the subject.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the delivery device 100 in athird configuration.
- the plunger rod 142 has moved in the proximal direction to the second plunger position, driving plunger piston 144 to deliver substantially all of the fluid within the fluid container 150 to and through the needle 160 and into the subject.
- plunger rod 142 has moved over fluid container 150 such that fluid container 150 is partially received in inner cavity 143c of plunger rod 142.
- the proximal end 143b of the plunger rod 142 is now in cooperative engagement with the second releasable retainer member 122.

- the second energy member 152 moves from its first configuration to its second configuration.
- the distal end of the second energy storage member 152 is in contact with the proximal end 120b of the lower body 120 and the proximal end of the second energy member 152 is in contact with the driver 170.
- the user may hold the device 100 to the target site for a prescribed time period, and after this prescribed time period, the user reduces the force F applied to the upper body 110.
- the second energy storage member 152 moving to the second configuration exerts force on the lower body 120 in the distal direction (as indicated by arrow C in FIG. 5) which in turn displaces upper body 110 in a distal direction which is sufficient, in combination with the reduced force F applied to the upper body 110 to displace delivery device 100 in a distal direction relative to the target site such that needle 160 is retracted from the target site.
- driver 170 is displaced proximally (as indicated by arrow D in FIG. 5) by second energy storage member 152 relative to the needle from its first driver position (FIG. 5) to a second driver position (FIG. 6).
- the needle 160 is retracted back from the target site and is enclosed within driver 170.
- Proximal movement of driver 170 may be restricted by the contact of a lip (not shown in FIGS.) on the upper portion of driver 170 contacting the inwardly extending proximal edge (not shown in FIGS, of the lower body 120 which prevents movement of driver 170 further than is shown in FIG. 6.
- the contact of the lip of driver 170 with the edge of lower body 120 is similar to as illustrated and described below with respect to delivery device 200.
- the delivery device 100 may also include a component for providing feedback to the operator once the injection and delivery of fluid is complete and the needle 160 is fully enclosed in the driver 170, such as, but not limited to, one or more viewing windows, such as windows 115a and 115b described above indicating that the injection and delivery of fluid has been completed or an audible click.
- needle 160 (and attached fluid container 150) of delivery device 100 may be driven by a force to drive the needle from a first needle position to a second needle position, whereby movement of the needle from the first needle position to the second needle position inserts the needle into the target site of the subject.
- the force is an external force applied by a user to the delivery device, such as force F described above for delivery devices 1 and 100.
- the force is applied by the first energy storage member 134 or the second energy storage member 152.
- the force is applied by a third energy storage member (which may be similar to first and second energy storage members 134, 152 described above).
- the force may be applied to needle 160, fluid container 150 or other interconnected components.
- the third energy storage member comprises a spring.
- the third energy storage member may cause movement of needle 160 (and attached fluid container 150) in the proximal direction whilst a user holds the delivery device over the target site of a subject in order to drive the needle into target site of the subject.
- needle 160 (and attached fluid container 150) may be initiated, for example, in response to the pressing of a button or switch on delivery device 100.

- FIG. 8G In FIG.
- the pins 212a may extend into a chamber 214 of the device 200 and may perform a similar function to the upper portion 112a of the safety pin 112 described above, in this embodiment preventing movement of actuator 230 in a distal direction.
- Actuator 230 may be similar to actuator 130 described above.
- the safety pin 212 may be operated by a user gripping the opposed outer sides 212c, 212d of safety pin 212 and removing the safety pin 212 from the upper body 210 in the direction indicated by arrow A in FIG. 8B. This will also extract the pins 212a, 212b of the safety pin 212 through the slot 213, such that movement of the actuator 230 in a distal direction is no longer restricted by the safety pin 212. This will enable operation of the delivery device 200 in a similar manner to the delivery device 100.
- delivery device 200 is shown with a driver 270 (which may be generally similar to driver 170 described above) in a second driver position, which may be similar to the second driver position of driver 170 described above.

- Example 1 PK study using a high-volume intramuscular autoinjector on a swine model
- IMSAFE autoinjectors were fdled with 5 mL of 100 mg/mL commercially available TXA, resulting in 0.5 g of TXA per autoinjector. A total of two autoinjectors were used per animal to deliver a total of 1 g of TXA. TXA was delivered in the following manner: the first autoinjector delivered 0.5 g of TXA into the animal thigh and was held in place for 10 seconds, a second autoinjector was then used to deliver 0.5 g of TXA into the other thigh and held in place for 10 seconds. Immediately following injection, injection sites were closely examined for any signs of blood, tissue damage or leakage of drug product from the administration site.
- the injection site was reassessed over the course of the experiment for any visible physical signs of tissue damage or bruising.
- Blood samples were collected in 2 mL EDTA tubes and spun down to collect plasma which was used to determine TXA concentration using LC/MS (liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy). Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent 1100/1200 series HPLC with a Zorbax SB-C18 column 4.6x5mm, 3.5um (Agilent Technologies, Mississauga, ON) at flow rate of 0.35 ml/min and temperature of 40 °C. Sample injection volume was 1 pL.
- the mobile phase consisted of Buffer A (10 mM formic acid in water) and Buffer B (10 mM formic acid in 90% acetonitrile).
- a linear gradient elution was used with an initial mobile phase composition of 3% Buffer B, changing to 30% Buffer B at 7 min, then at 9 min to 3% Buffer B.
- the instrument was operated in positive mode using electrospray ionization (ESI) source and following operational settings: Drying gas temperature of 300 °C and flow rate of 9.5 l/min, nebulizer pressure at 45 psi, capillary voltage at 2000 V in positive mode and fragmentor voltage of 40 V.
- the pharmacokinetic (PK) data was determined using Phoenix (Phoenix WinNonLin, Certara L.P.). The maximum concentration (Cmax), time to reach maximal concentration (Tmax) and area under the curve vs. time curve were calculated. The total injection time was recorded.
- Results All animals were successfully injected with a total 1 g of TXA using two autoinjectors. No bruising or hematomas were observed at the injection site initially after inj ection or over the entire course of the experimental period. The pharmacokinetics were fit to a 1st order, one compartment model with uniform weighting and Gauss-Newton (Levenberg and Hartley) minimization. Time to maximal concentration was determined to be 10.7 ⁇ 0.7 minutes. Maximal concentration was determined to be 72.4 pg/mL ⁇ 3.3 pg/ml (or 72.4 mg/L ⁇ 3.3 mg/L). The observed area under the curve was 12096 ⁇ 1342 pg*min/ml.
