PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR INHALATION The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a first active agent and a second active agent, wherein the aerodynamic particle size distribution of the first and second active agents relative to their delivered doses is substantially the same. Drugs for the treatment of respiratory diseases and disorders, such as beta-2 agonists, corticosteroids, muscarinic antagonists and phosphodiesterase inhibitors are frequently administered directly to the lungs via inhalation. The inhalation route may also be used for the delivery of systemically acting drugs. Administration via inhalation can increase the therapeutic index, reduce side effects of the drugs compared to administration by other routes (such as orally or intravenously), can result in a rapid speed of onset of the drugs, and in improved patient compliance. Administration by inhalation may be in the form of either dry powders or aerosol formulations, which are inhaled by the patient either through use of an inhalation device or nebuliser. While single active agents may be employed to treat a specific disease or disorder, the use of combinations of drugs is often advantageous. For example low-dose therapy using one drug may not be sufficient to control asthma symptoms, but adding treatment with another drug having a different mechanism of action may significantly improve symptoms compared with simply increasing a patient's dose of a single drug, while also reducing side effects. A combination of drugs may also have a synergistic effect, leading to enhanced patient treatment. Alternatively, the two drugs may act to treat two different symptoms; for example one drug may treat the airway constriction while the other may reduce or prevent inflammation of the airways. Formulating two active agents in a single formulation for administration from a single inhalation device is particularly advantageous for improving patient compliance. In order that a medicinal formulation is suitable for use with an inhalation device, the particle size of the deployed formulation must be small enough that it can be inhaled into the lungs of the users. Therefore, the particles of the formulation need to be in the micrometer size range, i.e. having a mean aerodynamic particle diameter (measured as Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD)) of about 1 to Ι Οµ , in order to be capable of penetrating into the lungs and exerting its intended pharmacological effect. The particle size of the active agents should not be larger than 1Οµηι and preferably not larger than 5µ η. Various methods may be used to form such fine particles for inhalation which are known to the skilled person. The most widely used method of producing particles of a drug compound in the micrometer size range is a particle reduction technique called micronisation, using an air jet mill. Jet milling is a highly effective technology for reducing the particle size of drugs where the size of the particles is relevant to the effective delivery. Air jet mills grind materials by using a high speed jet of compressed air or inert gas which accelerates particles fed into the grinding chamber. Particle reduction is achieved by the impact of particles colliding into each other at high speed and reducing themselves by attrition and collision. Air jet mills are usually designed to output particles below a certain size; the compressed air or gas jet exits the mill through an outlet at the center of the grinding chamber and draws the micronised particles with it. Larger, i.e. oversized particles are held in the grinding chamber by centrifugal force and continue the milling process until the desired micrometer size is achieved, allowing them to escape the grinding chamber. Particles leaving the mill can eventually be separated from the gas stream by c3/clonic separation. Due to this design, a narrow particle size distribution of the resulting product can be achieved. The resulting particle size distribution of micronised drug compound depends on several parameters, such as the diameter of the air jet mill, the grinding gas pressure, the feeding gas pressure and the feeding rate. Furthermore, drug compound specific characteristics are also important for the result and need to be considered, such as the starting particle size range of the un-micronised compound, hardness, friability, temperature sensitivity (softening at higher temperature), or polymorph stability. Oxygen or moisture sensitivity of the drug compound may also demand the use of inert gas as a feeding and grinding media. The above described compound specific parameters usually require that micronisation trials are performed to establish the suitable set of process parameters with control ranges needed to yield micronised particles of the requested target particle size. The skilled person would also understand that each specific drug compound may require its defined individual set of process parameters. In the case of a combination drug product, the different microfine drug powders as constituents of the combination drug product are therefore normally manufactured and micronised separately, and only combined at a later stage of preparation of the finished drug product. However, separate preparation of the two active agents may result in differing behaviour in the finished drug product and therefore different delivery or deposition at different locations in the lungs may well occur. It would therefore be advantageous to formulate a pharmaceutical combination product in which the two active agents deliver to and deposit at the same site in the lungs. According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a first active agent and a second active agent, wherein the aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) of the first and second active agents relative to their delivered doses is substantially the same. The aerodynamic particle size distribution relative to the delivered dose is preferably substantially the same within ± 25% on each impactor stage, preferably within ± 20% on each impactor stage, more preferably within ± 15% on each impactor stage, more preferably within ±10% on each impactor stage. It has been found that by ensuring that the first and active agents have an APSD relative to their delivered doses that is substantially the same, co-deposition of the active agents occurs. This is particularly useful when co-deposition of both drugs in the same target area is required to exert a synergistic pharmacological effect, for allowing targeted treatment of a small area of infected lung or for targeting a specific region of the lungs (for example, the central airways to treat asthma, or the alveoli for a drug intended for systemic administration). It is well established that cascade impactors may be used as an instrument to determine the aerodynamic particle size distribution of airborne drug particles delivered from inhaled formulations. Cascade impactors separate the drug particles contained in the formulation into fractions on the basis of differences in inertia, which is a function of particle density, shape, and velocity. Two types of cascade impactors widely used in the pharmaceutical development of inhaled formulations are the Andersen Cascade Impactor (ACI) and the Next Generation Impactor (NGI).

Hoyme, M., Scheungraber, C., Reinhart, K. and Schummer, W. Distributed under Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 Abstract Common phenomena of spinal anaesthesia for caesarean sections are hypotension and cardiovascular depression, both of which require immediate action. Akrinor® (theodrenaline and cafedrine), a sympathomimetic agent commonly used in Germany for such cases, was phased out with little notice at the end of 2005. Phenylephrine was not and is not an approved drug. Norepinephrine became the first-line drug. The outcome in neonates delivered by elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia was studied. At our university hospital, all elective caesarean sections under spinal anaesthesia from 2005 and 2006 were analysed regarding hypotension and the vasopressor administered. If maternal arterial pressure decreased by more than 20% of baseline, patients in 2005 received Akrinor®; patients in 2006 received norepinephrine.

  • 2251 Adulteration of Dietary Supplements with Drugs
    BRIEFING 2251 Adulteration of Dietary Supplements with Drugs and Drug Analogs. This new general chapter provides tools for detection of dietary supplement adulteration with ⟨extraneously⟩ added synthetic compounds. The illegal addition of synthetic substances to products marketed as dietary supplements constitutes a significant threat to consumer health, considering that these products, administered without medical supervision, may contain toxic constituents or substances whose safety has never been examined, and whose interaction with medications may be unpredictable or lethal. The proposed chapter suggests multiple methods for detection of adulteration. It is advisable to use several screening techniques to maximize the potential for adulteration detection, because no single methodology is universally applicable. Presently, the chapter targets supplements adulterated with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors; subsequent revisions will include methodologies specific to analysis of adulterated weight loss and sports performance enhancement products. It is anticipated that this chapter will be updated regularly. (GCCA: A. Bzhelyansky.) Correspondence Number—C144928 Add the following: ▪ 2251 ADULTERATION OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS WITH DRUGS AND DRUG ANALOGS ⟨ ⟩ INTRODUCTION The illegal addition of undeclared synthetic compounds to products marketed as dietary supplements1 (DS) is a serious problem. This fraud is practiced to impart therapeutic effects that cannot be achieved by the supplement constituents alone. Increasingly, synthetic intermediates and structural analogs of the pharmaceuticals and drugs that have been discontinued or withdrawn from the market due to unsatisfactory safety profiles are being used as adulterants. Multiple adulterating compounds may be added to a single DS, frequently in erratic amounts. The proposed test methodologies facilitate screening of DS for synthetic adulterants. No individual technique is capable of addressing all potential analytes; thus, a combination of orthogonal approaches adds certainty to the analytical outcome.
