    • One or more COX-2 inhibitors are provided in a porous matrix form wherein the dissolution rate of the drug is enhanced when the matrix is contacted with an aqueous medium. The porous matrix yields upon contact with an aqueous medium nanoparticles and microparticles of COX-2 inhibitors having a mean diameter between about 0.01 and 5 nullm and a total surface area greater than about 0.5 m2/mL. The dry porous matrix preferably is in a dry powder form having a TAP density less than or equal to 1.0 g/mL. The porous COX-2 inhibitor matrices preferably are made using a process that includes (i) dissolving one or more COX-2 inhibitors in a volatile solvent to form a drug solution, (ii) combining at least one pore forming agent with the drug solution to form an emulsion, suspension, or second solution, and (iii) removing the volatile solvent and pore forming agent from the emulsion, suspension, or second solution to yield the dry porous matrix of COX-2 inhibitors. The resulting porous matrix has a faster rate of dissolution following administration to a patient, as compared to non-porous matrix forms of the drug.

    • Drugs, especially low aqueous solubility drugs, are provided in a porous matrix form, preferably microparticles, which enhances dissolution of the drug in aqueous media. The drug matrices preferably are made using a process that includes (i) dissolving a drug, preferably a drug having low aqueous solubility, in a volatile solvent to form a drug solution, (ii) combining at least one pore forming agent with the drug solution to form an emulsion, suspension, or second solution and hydrophilic or hydrophobic excipients that stabilize the drug and inhibit crystallization, and (iii) removing the volatile solvent and pore forming agent from the emulsion, suspension, or second solution to yield the porous matrix of drug. Hydrophobic or hydrophilic excipients may be selected to stabilize the drug in crystalline form by inhibiting crystal growth or to stabilize the drug in amorphous form by preventing crystallization. The pore forming agent can be either a volatile liquid that is immiscible with the drug solvent or a volatile solid compound, preferably a volatile salt. In a preferred embodiment, spray drying is used to remove the solvents and the pore forming agent. The resulting porous matrix has a faster rate of dissolution following administration to a patient, as compared to non-porous matrix forms of the drug. In a preferred embodiment, microparticles of the porous drug matrix are reconstituted with an aqueous medium and administered parenterally, or processed using standard techniques into tablets or capsules for oral administration.
    • 药物,特别是低含水溶性药物以多孔基质形式提供,优选微粒,其增强药物在水性介质中的溶解。 药物基质优选使用以下方法制备,所述方法包括(i)将挥发性溶剂中的药物(优选为低溶解度的药物)溶解以形成药物溶液,(ii)将至少一种成孔剂与药物溶液 以形成稳定药物并抑制结晶的乳液,悬浮液或第二溶液和亲水或疏水赋形剂,和(iii)从乳液,悬浮液或第二溶液中除去挥发性溶剂和成孔剂以产生多孔基质 药物。 可以选择疏水性或亲水性赋形剂,以通过抑制晶体生长来稳定药物的结晶形式,或者通过防止结晶来稳定药物的无定形形式。 造孔剂可以是与药物溶剂或挥发性固体化合物,优选挥发性盐不混溶的挥发性液体。 在优选的实施方案中,使用喷雾干燥来除去溶剂和成孔剂。 与药物的无孔基质形式相比,得到的多孔基质在给予患者后具有更快的溶解速率。 在优选的实施方案中,多孔药物基质的微粒用水性介质重新配制,并肠胃外给药,或使用标准技术加工成用于口服给药的片剂或胶囊。

    • A lipid or other hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound (collectively referred to herein as "hydrophobic compounds") is integrated into a polymeric matrix for drug delivery to alter drug release kinetics. In embodiments where the drug is water soluble, the drug is released over longer periods of time as compared to release from the polymeric matrix not incorporating the hydrophobic compound into the polymeric material. In contrast to methods in which a surfactant or lipid is added as an excipient, the hydrophobic compound is actually integrated into the polymeric matrix, thereby modifying the diffusion of water into the microparticle and diffusion of solubilized drug out of the matrix. The integrated hydrophobic compound also prolongs degradation of hydrolytically unstable polymers forming the matrix, further delaying release of encapsulated drug.
    • 将脂质或其它疏水性或两亲性化合物(本文统称为“疏水化合物”)整合到用于药物递送的聚合物基质中以改变药物释放动力学。 在药物是水溶性的实施方案中,与不将疏水性化合物掺入聚合物材料的聚合物基质的释放相比,药物在更长的时间内释放。 与其中加入表面活性剂或脂质作为赋形剂的方法相反,疏水化合物实际上整合到聚合物基质中,从而改变水进入微粒的扩散并将溶解的药物扩散出基质。 整合的疏水化合物还延长了形成基质的水解不稳定聚合物的降解,进一步延缓了包封药物的释放。

    • Methods and apparatus are provided for making particles comprising: (a) spraying an emulsion, solution, or suspension, which comprises a solvent and a bulk material (e.g., a pharmaceutical agent), through an atomizer and into a primary drying chamber, having a drying gas flowing therethrough, to form droplets comprising the solvent and bulk material dispersed in the drying gas; (b) evaporating, in the primary drying chamber, at least a portion of the solvent into the drying gas to solidify the droplets and form particles dispersed in drying gas; and (c) flowing the particles and at least a portion of the drying gas through a jet mill to deagglomerate or grind the particles. By coupling spray drying with nullin-linenull jet milling, a single step process is created from two separate unit operations, and an additional collection step is advantageously eliminated. The one-step, in-line process has further advantages in time and cost of processing.
    • 提供了用于制备颗粒的方法和装置,包括:(a)通过雾化器喷雾包含溶剂和散装材料(例如药剂)的乳液,溶液或悬浮液,并进入初级干燥室,其具有 干燥气体流过其中以形成包含分散在干燥气体中的溶剂和散装材料的液滴; (b)在初级干燥室中将至少一部分溶剂蒸发到干燥气体中以固化液滴并形成分散在干燥气体中的颗粒; 和(c)使颗粒和至少一部分干燥气体流过喷射磨机以使颗粒解聚或研磨。 通过将喷雾干燥与“直列式”喷射式研磨相结合,由两个单独的单元操作产生单步骤,有利地消除了另外的收集步骤。 一步一步的在线过程在处理时间和成本方面具有进一步的优势。

    • Improved spray drying apparati, and methods of use thereof, have been developed. The spray drying equipment includes a primary drying chamber and a secondary drying apparatus which includes tubing having a length sufficient to increase the contact time between the drying gas and the droplets/particles to dry the particles to the extent desired, at a drying rate and temperature which would be too low to provide adequate drying without the secondary drying apparatus. The secondary drying apparatus increases the drying efficiency of the spray dryer system without increasing the drying rate, while minimizing loss in yield. Te secondary drying apparatus can include multiple secondary apparati, which are independently controlled for temperature and/or have different dimensions (cross-sectional areas and/or lengths), to allow for optimization of drying conditions. For example, in one embodiment, the temperatures of the secondary appararatiare set to gradually increase, or decrease, enabling the particles to be dried at multiple temperatures and drying conditions. In another embodiment, the apparatihave different dimensions to alter the velocity at which the particles are dried, to accommodate changes in particle aggregation or other properties affecting product yield. A preferred application for the spray drying process and equipment is in the production of microparticles, between about 1 and 200 nullm in diameter, which can be used to deliver therapeutic and diagnostic agents.
    • 已经开发了改进的喷雾干燥装置及其使用方法。 喷雾干燥设备包括初级干燥室和次级干燥设备,其包括具有足以增加干燥气体和液滴/颗粒之间的接触时间的长度的管道,以将干燥颗粒以期望的程度以干燥速率和温度 这不足以在没有二次干燥装置的情况下提供足够的干燥。 二次干燥装置提高喷雾干燥器系统的干燥效率,而不增加干燥速率,同时最小化产率损失。 Te二次干燥装置可以包括多个二次装置,其独立地控制温度和/或具有不同的尺寸(横截面积和/或长度),以允许优化干燥条件。 例如,在一个实施方案中,二次装置的温度设定为逐渐增加或降低,使颗粒能够在多个温度和干燥条件下干燥。 在另一个实施方案中,提供不同的尺寸以改变颗粒干燥速度,以适应颗粒聚集的变化或影响产品产率的其它性质。 用于喷雾干燥方法和设备的优选应用是生产直径约1-200μm的微粒,其可用于递送治疗和诊断剂。
