• Deposition
• Transport into Blood
• Biological Response

Upper Airway
• Physiology of the Nose:– Provides for:
• exchange of heat and moisture
– Purpose of the nose:• Olfactory and conditioning of inspired air
– Nasal breathing more effective than mouth breathing to heat and humidify inspired air
– Nasal filtration • Particle clearance• Particle deposition

Upper Airway
– Drug absorption depends on:• 1.• 2.• 3.• 4.
– Choosing a nasal delivery system:• Drop bottle• Aqueous pump spray
– Preservative use (phenylethanol; benzalkonium Cl)
• Metered-dose inhaler
10
Upper Airway
• Pharynx and larynx– Role in drug delivery– Pharyngeal barrier– Spacer devices

Lower Airway
• Zones of lung:– Conducting zone– Transitional zone– Respiratory zone
• What limits aerosol use?– Patient compliance– Breathing maneuvers– Irritant activity– Epithelial permeability– Bronchoconstriction
13
Lower Airway
• What controls drug deposition?– Flow rate
• pMDI vs. DPI
– Patient factors– Particle size distribution of emitted dose– Particle density and shape– Hygroscopic growth
14
pMDI Deposition
Up to 82% of dose ingested
Improved lung deposition
15
Types of drug delivery systems
• Nebulizers
• MDI – Propellant driven– Aqueous pump sprays
• DPI
16
Nebulizers
• Types:– Ultrasonic nebulizer– Air jet nebulizer
• Performance influenced by:– Type used and its operation– Cost– Brand vs. brand/within brand– Evaporative losses

Pari LC Plus Nebulizer – Open Vent System
More efficientOutput rate controlled by patient breathing by means of a valve systemLower compressed air pressure and flow rate required
33
Traditional Air Jet Nebulizer
Closed systemOutput not influenced by patient breathing50% of drug is wastedLonger treatment timesHigher compressed air pressure and flow (6L/min)

Nebulizers
• Formulation components– Drug– Solvent– Osmotic agent– Chemical stabilizer– Buffer– Preservative(s)
37
Pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers
• Definition: Pharmaceutical aerosols are pressurized dosage forms containing one or more active ingredients which upon actuation emit a fine dispersion of liquid and/or solid materials in a gaseous medium
• Similar to other dosage forms in that they require the same types of considerations with respect to formulation, stability, etc (i.e. PSD, solubility)
• They differ in their dependence upon the function of the container, its valve assembly, and an added component—the propellant—for the physical delivery of the medication to the patient in the proper form
38
pMDIs
• Pressurized Dosage Form--One or more gaseous or liquefied propellants--Upon activation of the valve assembly, it is the pressure exerted by the propellant(s) that forces the contents of the package out through the valve opening
• Particle size-- < 5 μm—respiratory bronchioles, alveoli-- ~7-8 μm – large conducting airways
-- >~8 - 10 μm -- oropharnyx
39
Advantages of Aerosol Dosage Form
• Medication can be withdrawn in portions without contamination – aliquot from reservoir
• Due to hermetic nature of package—protection from oxygen, moisture, and light
• Topical applications without touching affected area—less irritating
• Through metered valves, dosage may be controlled—also efficiency of particle size control
40
pMDI Principle
• The Formulation (two-phase system)consists of:
--the product concentrate-required adjuncts (SSA, Solvents, antioxidants, etc.)
-drug or drugs
--the propellant-Gas at room temperature
-Liquid when cooled or compressed
-CFCs vs. HFCs
41
Vapor Pressure
• Pressure developed as propellant molecules leave the liquid state and enter the vapor state until equilibrium is attained
42
Propellants
• Types– CFC-11 Trichloromonofluoromethane– CFC-12 Dichlorodifluoromethane– CFC-114 Dichlorotetrafluoroethane– HFA-134a Tetrafluoroethane– HFA-227 Heptafluoropropane
• Density, Boiling Point, Vapor Pressure

Containers
• Types– Glass
• Plastic coated or laminated• Fragile• Not for light sensitive drugs
– Aluminum• Interior coating• Light weight, not fragile• Good for light sensitive drugs• Typical volume capacity
46
Metering Valve
• Generally designed to work in inverted position• Critical component• Primary function – reproducibly delivery an
aliquot of liquid phase in which drug is dissolved or suspended
• Composed of multiple parts that must be assembled
• Composition – • Dispensing volumes –• Valve dispenses volumetrically

How to use a pMDI
1. Remove cap and hold inhaler upright2. Shake the inhaler3. Tilt head back and breathe out4. Open mouth5. Hold inhaler 1-2 inches away6. Press down on inhaler to release medicine7. Breathe in slowly for 3 to 5 seconds8. Hold breath for 10 seconds9. Repeat puffs as directed10.Wait 1 minute between puffs

Spacer Devices
• Valved chamber – with exhalation ports is useful to prevent exhalation into the chamber and allow inhalation of drug remaining in the chamber after the first breath
• Flow rate signal – warns user that the inhalation is too fast
• Universal inhaler adapter – conforms to the mouthpiece of any metered dose inhaler, whereas others have rigid adapters that fit only one type of mouthpiece
