Deposition Dosages of Three Cromolyn Forms by Cascade Impactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among inhaled asthma therapies, the present study aimed to identify factors for selecting the type of inhalation therapy for asthma. Three methods are used to deliver inhaled cromoglycate, and the airway deposition rate was evaluated using a cascade impactor with 3 dosage forms: dry powder (DP), pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI), and solution (jet- and mesh-types). The percentage of particles with diameters of 2-6 μm was 17.0% for the capsule, 51.8% for pMDI, 49.0% for jet-type NE-C28, and 40.4% for mesh-type NE-U22. The amounts of drug deposited in the bronchi were based on the particle distribution of the various dosage forms: 3.4 mg for the capsule, 1.0 mg for pMDI, 9.8 mg for one solution (jet-type NE-C28), and 8.1 mg for the other solution (mesh-type NE-U22). Jet-type or mesh-type electric nebulizers delivered 2-3 times more of the drug than capsules, and, compared with pMDI, 8-9 times more of the drug was deposited in the bronchi/bronchioles. Electric nebulizers are considered the best method. This study suggests that the size of particles deposited at sites of obstruction is larger than previously reported, and no obstruction of small airways occurs (<2 mm).

ABSTRACT : Measurements : Particle Size Measurements for OINDP Quality – I : Cascade Impactor
Measurements: Particle Size Measurements for OINDP Quality – I: Cascade Impactor Dr. Jolyon P. Mitchell Ph.D., FRSC (UK), C.Chem., C.Sci. Aerosol aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD) is a critical quality attribute for determining inhaler performance in the quality control environment. This is because likely deposition of inhaled medication in the various regions of the human respirato...
متن کاملParticle size distribution and human respiratory deposition of trace metals in indoor work environments.
Respiratory response to inhalation of fine particles has been investigated for the aerosol generated by welding. Particles were sampled using a pair of 5-stage cascade impactors operating at 1 l./min flow rate. The subject exhaled into one impactor through an air ballast arrangement, and the other impactor simultaneously sampled the surrounding air. Particle size fractions were analyzed for pri...
متن کاملMedical nebulizer performance: effects of cascade impactor temperature.
BACKGROUND During operation of a jet nebulizer, the temperature of the nebulizer outlet could decrease by more than 10 degrees C, depending on the nebulizer type and operating conditions, such as driving flow rate and fill volume. The droplet size distribution generated from the nebulizer can be measured by a cascade impactor. However, when the cascade impactor is operated at ambient room tempe...

A new cascade impactor has been designed specifically for pharmaceutical inhaler testing. This impactor, called the Next Generation Pharmaceutical Impactor (NGI), has seven stages and is intended to operate at any inlet flow rate between 30 and 100 L/min. It spans a cut size (D50) range from 0.54-microm to 11.7-microm aerodynamic diameter at 30 L/min and 0.24 microm to 6.12 microm at 100 L/min....

The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro deposition of both drug (albuterol sulfate) and carrier (lactose) particles in relation to each other from a dry powder inhaler formulation using an Andersen cascade impactor (ACI) and time of flight aerosol beam spectrometry (TOFABS). In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with X-ray microanalysis was employed to disting...
