- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
- Various implementations incorporating low-GWP propellants may benefit from increased shelf life and product performance resulting, for example, from optimized propellant and solvent, and excipient combinations, while also reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in comparison to other currently used higher-GWP propellants, such as 1, 1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane (“HFA-134a,” sometimes referred to as “HFC-134a”) and 1, 1,1, 2, 3,3,3- heptafluoropropane (“HFA-227,” sometimes referred to as “HFC-227”).
- HFA-134a 1, 1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane
- HFC-227 1, 1,1, 2, 3,3,3- heptafluoropropane
- the spray orifice may define an orifice exit with an orifice exit diameter.
- the jet length may be at least 0.8 millimeters (“mm”).
- the metered dose inhaler device may further include a composition including a propellant including 1,1- difhioroethane (“HFA-152a”).
- the composition may be located in a canister disposed in the substantially hollow first portion. Once the composition is ejected from the orifice exit towards the mouthpiece, the composition may define a spray pattern.
- the spray pattern may match that of a similar metered dose inhaler device using a propellant including 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (“HFA-227”) or 1 , 1 , 1 ,2-tetrafluoroethane (“HFA-134a”) and a jet length less than or equal to 0.8 mm.

- the metered dose inhaler device may further include a composition including a propellant including trans-l,l,l,3-tetrafhioropropene (“HFO-1234ze(E)”), the composition located in a canister disposed in the substantially hollow first portion.
- a propellant including trans-l,l,l,3-tetrafhioropropene (“HFO-1234ze(E)”
- HFO-1234ze(E) trans-l,l,l,3-tetrafhioropropene
- the composition may define a spray pattern.
- the spray pattern may match that of a similar metered dose inhaler device using a propellant including 1 , 1 , 1 ,2-tetrafluoroethane (“HFA-134a”) or 1,1, 1,2, 3, 3, 3 -heptafluoropropane (“HFA-227”) and a jet length less than or equal to 0.8 mm.
- a method of manufacturing a metered dose inhaler may include making a composition including a propellant including at least one of HFA- 152a or HFO-1234ze(E), and further including at least one of a long-acting [3- adrenoreceptor agonist (“LABA”), a short-acting P-adrenoreceptor agonist (“SABA”), a corticosteroid, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (“LAMA”), or a combination thereof.
- the method may further include disposing the composition into a canister for use with an actuator housing.
- the actuator housing may include a substantially hollow first portion having a first proximal end and a first distal end.
- Figure 2 is a schematic section side view of an example nozzle block consistent with various embodiments.
- Aerosols including Kindeva aluminum canisters crimped with 50 microliter Bespak valves were pressure filled with placebo compositions of HFC propellants HFA-134a or HFA-227, or with low-GWP propellants HFA-152a or HFO-1234ze(E), using a Pamasol (Laboratory Plant 2016/100). Pneumatic aerosol actuation was synchronized with a high-speed imaging system.
- Jet length variation also influences plume targeting and stability.
- Figure 11 A illustrates spray profiles for one propellant at various jet lengths.
- Figure 1 IB illustrates probability density functions for a spray center of mass for each of the spray profiles of Figure 11A.
- Figure 11A shows example spray extinction contours at a 15% extinction threshold for HFC propellant HFA-134a with jet lengths of 0.6, 0.8, and 1 mm. Reduced jet length leads to increased targeting angles.
- Figure 1 IB shows how this shifts the spray’s optical center of mass (“CoM”), which is defined as the geometric center of the plume in the images and can be used to assess targeting and stability.
- CoM changes with jet length are hypothesized to be due to nonuniform flow in the expansion chamber; longer orifices straighten the flow, have less variation in CoM, and thus have less targeting variation.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif inhalateur doseur comprenant un logement d'actionneur (10) avec une première partie sensiblement creuse (15) comprenant un bloc gicleur, et une seconde partie sensiblement creuse (25) définissant un embout buccal et située adjacente à la première partie sensiblement creuse. Un orifice de pulvérisation (45) est formé dans le bloc gicleur (30). L'orifice de pulvérisation (45) définit une longueur de jet (46) sur un axe d'orifice. L'orifice de pulvérisation définit une sortie d'orifice (49) ayant un diamètre de sortie d'orifice (47). La longueur de jet est d'au moins 0,8 millimètre ("mm"). Le dispositif comprend une composition comprenant un agent propulseur qui comprend du 1,1-difluoroéthane ("HFA-152a") ou trans-1, 1,1,3-tétrafluoropropène ("HFO-1234ze(E) "), la composition étant située dans une cartouche (40) disposée dans la première partie sensiblement creuse (15). Une fois la composition éjectée de la sortie d'orifice (49), la composition définit une forme de dispersion du jet. La forme de dispersion du jet correspond à celle d'un dispositif similaire utilisant un agent propulseur comprenant du 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane ("HFA-227") et une longueur de jet inférieure ou égale à 0,8 mm.
