Abstract: Crystalline microparticles consisting of a phenylalkylamino beta2-adrenergic agonist coated with a C12-C20 fatty acid are useful for the preparation of pharmaceutical aerosol formulations in form of suspension in a liquefied propellant gas or powder formulations.

Abstract: Carrier particles in the form of granules described herein are suitable for use in dry powder formulations for inhalation, and preferably administering high-strength dose active ingredients.

Abstract: Powder particles comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of 8-hydroxy-5-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-2-[[(1R)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]amino]ethyl]-2(1H)-quinolinone (carmoterol) having a specific properties exhibit improved adhesion properties for dry powder formulations for inhalation. Such particles are useful for formulations in the form of powders for inhalation and the treatment of certain conditions and diseases.

Abstract: The described agglomeration of drug microparticles blended with excipient microparticles is a technique for the size enlargement of micronized products that could be damaged by granulation or compaction techniques. These agglomerates can be used as oral prompt or delayed-release dosage forms administered as they are or dispersed in a liquid. The composition and quantity of the excipient microparticles resulted to be the crucial factors for the agglomerate quality. Therefore, adjusting the content of surface-active agent between 8-20%, of the excipient microparticles it is possible to agglomerate microparticles of drugs that could not be agglomerated per se. Increasing the surfactant concentration in the spray-dried excipient microparticles or increasing the fraction of these excipient microparticles in the blend, the agglomeration was improved. The spray drying technique concentrates the surface-active agent on the microparticle surface.
