  • Publication number: 20140120165
    Abstract: A new particle morphology of glucocorticosteroids is described. The forms have a particle morphology that is particularly well suited for use in an inhaled corticosteroid drug suspension formulation for delivery from a next generation nebulizer device. Use of the new glucocorticosteroid particles enables enhanced drug delivery efficiency and increased residence time of the delivered drug in the lungs. New methods for producing glucocorticosteroid particles having these specific particle morphologies are also described. The methods provide a simplified, reproducible and scalable particle formation process that can produce glucocorticosteroid particles having a narrow particle size and shape distribution, a low surface energy, a low aspect ratio, uniform particle morphology and a reduced specific surface area.

  • Publication number: 20140086994
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for forming fine particles of a substance in a precipitation chamber, in which the apparatus has means to convey the fine particles from the precipitation chamber to at least one particle collection chamber, downstream of the precipitation chamber, the particle collection chamber having an inlet and an outlet separate from the inlet. The invention also provides a method of forming fine particles of a substance, the method comprising contacting a non-gaseous fluid containing the substance with a dense fluid to expand the non-gaseous fluid in a precipitation chamber, conveying a resulting mixture of fluid and the fine particles from the precipitation chamber to a collection chamber, the collection chamber having an inlet and an outlet separate from the inlet.
