Abstract
Drug delivery via pulmonary inhalation can achieve targeted treatment by directly delivering the drugs to the area for treatment. The method is developing rapidly for the treatment of local and systemic diseases. However, dry powders for inhalation need to exhibit excellent aerodynamic performance. Particle size, morphology and density need to be tightly regulated to guarantee effective lung deposition and assure long-term chemical stability of the drug. In this work, the compositions and requirements of dry powders for inhalation are discussed. Furthermore, the state-of-art methods in particle technology for dry powders for inhalation, such as milling, droplet evaporation, direct crystallization, supercritical fluid and particle surface coating technologies, are reviewed. In addition, the application of process analytical techniques in the preparation of dry powders for inhalation, which can improve process capability and drug safety, is also discussed. Finally, current challenges in the field of dry powders for inhalation are discussed and some directional guidance is proposed to promote delivery efficiency, drug efficacy and process development.
期刊介绍:
The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles.
Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors.
Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology.
Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include:
-Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales
-Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes
-Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc.
-Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system.
These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
