Formation of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0087] Any suitable method is used to form the aerosols of the present invention. A preferred method, however, involves heating a composition comprising an erectile dysfunction drug to form a vapor, followed by cooling of the vapor such that it condenses to provide an erectile dysfunction drug comprising aerosol (condensation aerosol). The composition is heated in one of four forins: as pure active compound (e.g., pure sildenafil, tadalafil or vardenafil);
as a mixture of active compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient;
as a salt form of the pure active compound; and, as a mixture of active compound salt form and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
[0088] Salt forms of erectile dysfunction drugs (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil or vardenafil) are either commercially available or are obtained from the corresponding free base using well known methods in the art. A variety of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are suitable for aerosolization. Such salts include, without limitation, the following: hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, formic acid, and fumaric acid salts.
[0089] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be volatile or nonvolatile.
Volatile excipients, when heated, are concurrently volatilized, aerosolized and inhaled with the erectile dysfunction drug. Classes of such excipients are known in the art and include, without limitation, gaseous, supercritical fluid, liquid and solid solvents. The following is a list of exemplary carriers within the classes:
water; terpenes, such as menthol; alcohols, such as ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol and other similar alcohols; dimethylformamide; dimethylacetamide;
wax;
supercritical carbon dioxide; dry ice; and mixtures thereof.
[0090] Solid supports on which the composition is heated are of a variety of shapes. Examples of such shapes include, without limitation, cylinders of less than 1.0 mm in diameter, boxes of less than 1.0 mm thickness and virtually any shape permeated by small (e.g., less than 1.0 mm-sized) pores. Preferably, solid supports provide a large surface to volume ratio (e.g., greater than 100 per meter) and a large surface to mass ratio (e.g., greater thail 1 cm2 per gram).
[0091] A solid support of one shape can also be transformed into another shape with different properties. For example, a flat sheet of 0.25 mm thickness has a surface to volume ratio of approximately 8,000 per meter. Rolling the sheet into a hollow cylinder of 1 cm diameter produces a support that retains the high surface to mass ratio of the original sheet but has a lower surface to volume ratio (about 400 per meter).
[0092] A number of different materials are used to construct the solid supports. Classes of such materials include, without limitation, metals, inorganic materials, carbonaceous materials and polymers. The following are examples of the material classes: aluminum, silver, gold, stainless steel, copper and tungsten;
silica, glass, silicon and alumina; graphite, porous carbons, carbon yams and carbon felts; polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene glycol. Combinations of materials and coated variants of materials are used as well.
[0093] Where aluminum is used as a solid support, aluminum foil is a suitable material. Examples of silica, alumina and silicon based materials include amphorous silica S-5631 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), BCR171 (an alumina of defined surface area greater than 2 m2/g from Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and a silicon wafer as used in the semiconductor industry. Carbon yarns and felts are available from American Kynol, Inc., New York, NY. Chromatography resins such as octadecycl silane chemically bonded to porous silica are exemplary coated variants of silica.
[0094] The heating of the erectile drug compositions is performed using any suitable method. Examples of methods by which heat can be generated include the following: passage of current through an electrical resistance element;
absorption of electromagnetic radiation, such as microwave or laser light;
and, exothermic chemical reactions, such as exothermic solvation, hydration of pyrophoric materials and oxidation of combustible materials.
Delivery of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0095] Erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols of the present invention are delivered to a mammal using an inhalation device. Where the aerosol is a condensation aerosol, the device has at least three elements: an element for heating an erectile dysfunction drug containing coinposition to form a vapor;
an element allowing the vapor to cool, thereby providing a condensation aerosol;
and, an element permitting the mammal to inhale the aerosol. Various suitable heating methods are described above. The element that allows cooling is, in it simplest form, an inert passageway linking the heating means to the inhalation means. The element permitting inhalation is an aerosol exit portal that forms a connection between the cooling element and the mammal's respiratory system.
[0096] One device used to deliver the erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is described in reference to Fig. 1. Delivery device 100 has a proximal end 102 and a distal end 104, a heating module 106, a power source 108, and a mouthpiece 110. An erectile dysfunction drug composition is deposited on a surface 112 of heating module 106. Upon activation of a user activated switch 114, power source 108 initiates heating of heating module 106 (e.g, through ignition of combustible fuel or passage of current through a resistive heating element). The erectile dysfunction drug composition volatilizes due to the heating of heating module 106 and condenses to form a condensation aerosol prior to reaching the mouthpiece 110 at the proximal end of the device 102. Air flow traveling from the device distal end 104 to the mouthpiece 110 carries the condensation aerosol to the moutlipiece 110, where it is inhaled by the mammal.
[0097] Devices, if desired, contain a variety of components to facilitate the delivery of erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols. For instance, the device may include any component known in the art to control the timing of drug aerosolization relative to inhalation (e.g., breath-actuation), to provide feedback to patients on the rate and/or volume of inhalation, to prevent excessive use (i.e., "lock-out" feature), to prevent use by unauthorized individuals, and/or to record dosing histories.
Dosage of Sildenafil or Tadalafil Containing Aerosols [0098] The dosage amount of an erectile dysfunction drug in aerosol form is generally no greater than twice the standard dose of the drug given orally.
For instance, sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil are given at strengths of 25 mg, 10 mg, and 5 mg respectively for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. As aerosols, mg to 40 mg of sildenafil, 2.5 mg to 20 mg of tadalafil, and 1 to 20 mg of vardenafil are generally provided for the same indication. A typical dosage of an erectile dysfunction drug aerosol is either administered as a single inhalation or as a series of inhalations taken within an hour or less (dosage equals sum of inhaled amounts). Where the drug is administered as a series of inhalations, a different amount may be delivered in each inhalation.
[0099] One can determine the appropriate dose of erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols to treat a particular condition using methods such as animal experiments and a dose-finding (Phase I/II) clinical trial. One animal experiment involves measuring plasma concentrations of drug in an animal after its exposure to the aerosol. Mammals such as dogs or primates are typically used in such studies, since their respiratory systems are similar to that of a human.
Initial dose levels for testing in humans is generally less than or equal to the dose in the mammal model that resulted in plasma drug levels associated with a therapeutic effect in humans. Dose escalation in humans is then performed, until either an optimal therapeutic response is obtained or a dose-limiting toxicity is encountered.
Analysis of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0100] Purity of an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is determined using a number of methods, examples of wliich are described in Sekine et al., Journal of Forensic Science 32:1271-1280 (1987) and Martin et al., Journal of Analytic Toxicology 13:158-162 (1989). One method involves forming the aerosol in a device through which a gas flow (e.g., air flow) is maintained, generally at a rate between 0.4 and 60 L/min. The gas flow carries the aerosol into one or more traps. After isolation from the trap, the aerosol is subjected to an analytical technique, such as gas or liquid chromatography, that permits a determination of composition purity.
[0101] A variety of different traps are used for aerosol collection. The following list contains examples of such traps: filters; glass wool;
impingers;
solvent traps, such as dry ice-cooled ethanol, methanol, acetone and dichloromethane traps at various pH values; syringes that sample the aerosol;
empty, low-pressure (e.g., vacuum) containers into which the aerosol is drawn;
and, empty containers that fully surround and enclose the aerosol generating device. Where a solid such as glass wool is used, it is typically extracted with a solvent such as ethanol. The solvent extract is subjected to analysis rather than the solid (i.e., glass wool) itself. Where a syringe or container is used, the container is similarly extracted with a solvent.
[0102] The gas or liquid chromatograph discussed above contains a detection system (i.e., detector). Such detection systems are well known in the art and include, for example, flame ionization, photon absorption and mass spectrometry detectors. An advantage of a mass spectrometry detector is that it can be used to determine the structure of erectile dysfunction drug degradation products.
[0103] Particle size distribution of an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is determined using any suitable method in the art (e.g., cascade impaction). An Andersen Eight Stage Non-viable Cascade Impactor (Andersen Instruments, Smyrna, GA) linlced to a furnace tube by a mock throat (USP
throat, Andersen Instruments, Smyrna, GA) is one system used for cascade impaction studies.
[0104] Inhalable aerosol mass density is determined, for example, by delivering a drug-containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the mass collected in the chamber. Typically, the aerosol is drawn into the chamber by having a pressure gradient between the device and the chamber, wherein the chamber is at lower pressure than the device. The volume of the chamber should approximate the tidal volume of an inhaling patient.
[0105] Inhalable aerosol drug mass density is determined, for example, by delivering a drug-containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the amount of active drug compound collected in the chamber. Typically, the aerosol is drawn into the chamber by having a pressure gradient between the device and the chamber, wherein the chamber is at lower pressure than the device. The volume of the chamber should approximate the tidal volume of an inhaling patient. The amount of active drug compound collected in the chamber is determined by extracting the chamber, conducting chromatographic analysis of the extract and comparing the results of the chromatographic analysis to those of a standard containing known amounts of drug.
[0106] Inhalable aerosol particle density is determined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the number of particles of given size collected in the chamber.
The number of particles of a given size may be directly measured based on the light-scattering properties of the particles. Alternatively, the number of particles of a given size is determined by measuring the mass of particles within the given size range and calculating the number of particles based on the mass as follows:
Total number of particles = Sum (from size range 1 to size range N) of number of particles in each size range. Number of particles in a given size range = Mass in the size range/Mass of a typical particle in the size range. Mass of a typical particle in a given size range =7c*D3*cp/6, where D is a typical particle diameter in the size range (generally, the mean boundary MMADs defining the size range) in microns, cp is the particle density (in g/mL) and mass is given in units of picograms (g"12).
[0107] Rate of inhalable aerosol particle formation is determined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confmed chamber via an inhalation device. The delivery is for a set period of time (e.g., 3 s), and the number of particles of a given size collected in the chamber is determined as outlined above. The rate of particle formation is equal to the number of 100 nm to micron particles collected divided by the duration of the collection time.
[0108] Rate of aerosol formation is deternlined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confined chamber via an inhalation device. The delivery is for a set period of time (e.g., 3 s), and the mass of particulate matter collected is determined by weighing the confined chamber before and after the delivery of the particulate matter. The rate of aerosol formation is equal to the increase in mass in the chamber divided by the duration of the collection time. Alternatively, where a change in mass of the delivery device or component thereof can only occur through release of the aerosol phase particulate matter, the mass of particulate matter may be equated with the mass lost from the device or component during the delivery of the aerosol. In this case, the rate of aerosol formation is equal to the decrease in mass of the device or component during the delivery event divided by the duration of the delivery event.
[0109] Rate of drug aerosol formation is determined, for example, by delivering an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device over a set period of time (e.g., 3 s). Where the aerosol is pure erectile dysfunction drug, the amount of drug collected in the chamber is measured as described above. The rate of-drug aerosol formation is equal to the amount of erectile dysfunction drug collected in the chamber divided by the duration of the collection time. Where the erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, multiplying the rate of aerosol formation by the percentage of erectile dysfunction drug in the aerosol provides the rate of drug aerosol formation.
Utility of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0110] The erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols of the present invention are typically used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
5[0111] The following examples are meant to illustrate, rather than limit, the present invention.
[0112] Sildenafil citrate is commercially available as the active ingredient in VIAGRA and can be isolated using standard methods in the art. Tadalafil can be synthesized 10 using the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,143,746 (issued November 7, 2000). Vardenafil can be synthesized using the methods described in WO/99/24433 published (May 20, 1999). Other erectile dysfunction drugs can be similarly obtained.
General Procedure for Obtaining Free Base of a Compound Salt [0113] Approximately 1 g of salt (e.g., mono hydrochloride) is dissolved in deionized water (-30 mL).
Three equivalents of sodium hydroxide (1 N NaOHaq) is added 20 dropwise to the solution, and the pH is checked to ensure it is basic. The aqueous solution is extracted four times with dichloromethane (-50 mL), and the extracts are combined, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtered organic solution is concentrated using a rotary evaporator to provide the desired free base. If necessary, purification of the free base is performed using standard methods such as chromatography or recrystallization.
20a General Procedure for Volatilizing Compounds from Halogen Bulb [0114] A solution of drug in approximately 120 uL
dichloromethane is coated on a 3.5 cm x 7.5 cm piece of aluminum foil (precleaned with acetone). The dichloromethane is allowed to evaporate. The coated foil is wrapped around a 300 watt halogen tube (Feit Electric Company, Pico Rivera, CA), which is inserted into a glass tube sealed at one end with a rubber stopper. Running 90 V
of alternating current (driven by line power controlled by a variac) tllrough the bulb for 2.5 s affords thermal vapor (including aerosol), wliich is collected on the glass tube walls. Reverse-phase HPLC analysis with detection by absorption of 225 nm light is used to determine the purity of the aerosol. (When desired, the system is flushed through with argon prior to volatilization.) [01151 Tadalafil aerosol (0.29 mg) was obtained in 98.5% purity using this procedure. To obtain higher purity aerosols, one can coat a lesser amount of drug, yielding a thinner film to heat. A linear decrease in film thickness is associated with a linear decrease in impurities.
Second General PNocedure foy Volatilizing Compounds [0116] A flash assembly consisting of a stainless steel outer cylinder and an inner brass electrode was dipped into an organic solution containing a drug and quickly removed. Evaporation of residual solvent from the assembly was performed by air drying. This left a film of drug coated on the exterior surface of the stainless steel cylinder. The assembly was electrically connected to a capacitor network (e.g., 1.5 F) and a mechanical relay using brass connectors and then placed into a glass sleeve. A filter assembly was placed between the glass sleeve and a vacuum system. Flow (-15 L/min) was instigated through the glass sleeve using the vacuum system. Heating of the flash assembly was performed for about 0.25 s by momentarily turning on the relay between the flash assembly and the capacitors (connected to DC power supply and charged to 20.5 V) to volatilize (form, an aerosol of) the coated drug. The assembly was allowed to cool. Analysis of the formed aerosol involved rinsing the filter with 5 mL of acetonitrile and injecting a sample of the organic solution into an HPLC.
Sildenafil aerosol was obtained in 98.9% purity (0.075 mg) using this procedure.
Vardenafil aerosol was obtained in 81.4% purity (0.7 mg) using this procedure.

Formation of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0087] Any suitable method is used to form the aerosols of the present invention. A preferred method, however, involves heating a composition comprising an erectile dysfunction drug to form a vapor, followed by cooling of the vapor such that it condenses to provide an erectile dysfunction drug comprising aerosol (condensation aerosol). The composition is heated in one of four forins: as pure active compound (e.g., pure sildenafil, tadalafil or vardenafil);
as a mixture of active compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient;
as a salt form of the pure active compound; and, as a mixture of active compound salt form and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
[0088] Salt forms of erectile dysfunction drugs (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil or vardenafil) are either commercially available or are obtained from the corresponding free base using well known methods in the art. A variety of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are suitable for aerosolization. Such salts include, without limitation, the following: hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, formic acid, and fumaric acid salts.
[0089] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be volatile or nonvolatile.
Volatile excipients, when heated, are concurrently volatilized, aerosolized and inhaled with the erectile dysfunction drug. Classes of such excipients are known in the art and include, without limitation, gaseous, supercritical fluid, liquid and solid solvents. The following is a list of exemplary carriers within the classes:
water; terpenes, such as menthol; alcohols, such as ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol and other similar alcohols; dimethylformamide; dimethylacetamide;
wax;
supercritical carbon dioxide; dry ice; and mixtures thereof.
[0090] Solid supports on which the composition is heated are of a variety of shapes. Examples of such shapes include, without limitation, cylinders of less than 1.0 mm in diameter, boxes of less than 1.0 mm thickness and virtually any shape permeated by small (e.g., less than 1.0 mm-sized) pores. Preferably, solid supports provide a large surface to volume ratio (e.g., greater than 100 per meter) and a large surface to mass ratio (e.g., greater thail 1 cm2 per gram).
[0091] A solid support of one shape can also be transformed into another shape with different properties. For example, a flat sheet of 0.25 mm thickness has a surface to volume ratio of approximately 8,000 per meter. Rolling the sheet into a hollow cylinder of 1 cm diameter produces a support that retains the high surface to mass ratio of the original sheet but has a lower surface to volume ratio (about 400 per meter).
[0092] A number of different materials are used to construct the solid supports. Classes of such materials include, without limitation, metals, inorganic materials, carbonaceous materials and polymers. The following are examples of the material classes: aluminum, silver, gold, stainless steel, copper and tungsten;
silica, glass, silicon and alumina; graphite, porous carbons, carbon yams and carbon felts; polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene glycol. Combinations of materials and coated variants of materials are used as well.
[0093] Where aluminum is used as a solid support, aluminum foil is a suitable material. Examples of silica, alumina and silicon based materials include amphorous silica S-5631 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), BCR171 (an alumina of defined surface area greater than 2 m2/g from Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and a silicon wafer as used in the semiconductor industry. Carbon yarns and felts are available from American Kynol, Inc., New York, NY. Chromatography resins such as octadecycl silane chemically bonded to porous silica are exemplary coated variants of silica.
[0094] The heating of the erectile drug compositions is performed using any suitable method. Examples of methods by which heat can be generated include the following: passage of current through an electrical resistance element;
absorption of electromagnetic radiation, such as microwave or laser light;
and, exothermic chemical reactions, such as exothermic solvation, hydration of pyrophoric materials and oxidation of combustible materials.
Delivery of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0095] Erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols of the present invention are delivered to a mammal using an inhalation device. Where the aerosol is a condensation aerosol, the device has at least three elements: an element for heating an erectile dysfunction drug containing coinposition to form a vapor;
an element allowing the vapor to cool, thereby providing a condensation aerosol;
and, an element permitting the mammal to inhale the aerosol. Various suitable heating methods are described above. The element that allows cooling is, in it simplest form, an inert passageway linking the heating means to the inhalation means. The element permitting inhalation is an aerosol exit portal that forms a connection between the cooling element and the mammal's respiratory system.
[0096] One device used to deliver the erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is described in reference to Fig. 1. Delivery device 100 has a proximal end 102 and a distal end 104, a heating module 106, a power source 108, and a mouthpiece 110. An erectile dysfunction drug composition is deposited on a surface 112 of heating module 106. Upon activation of a user activated switch 114, power source 108 initiates heating of heating module 106 (e.g, through ignition of combustible fuel or passage of current through a resistive heating element). The erectile dysfunction drug composition volatilizes due to the heating of heating module 106 and condenses to form a condensation aerosol prior to reaching the mouthpiece 110 at the proximal end of the device 102. Air flow traveling from the device distal end 104 to the mouthpiece 110 carries the condensation aerosol to the moutlipiece 110, where it is inhaled by the mammal.
[0097] Devices, if desired, contain a variety of components to facilitate the delivery of erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols. For instance, the device may include any component known in the art to control the timing of drug aerosolization relative to inhalation (e.g., breath-actuation), to provide feedback to patients on the rate and/or volume of inhalation, to prevent excessive use (i.e., "lock-out" feature), to prevent use by unauthorized individuals, and/or to record dosing histories.
Dosage of Sildenafil or Tadalafil Containing Aerosols [0098] The dosage amount of an erectile dysfunction drug in aerosol form is generally no greater than twice the standard dose of the drug given orally.
For instance, sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil are given at strengths of 25 mg, 10 mg, and 5 mg respectively for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. As aerosols, mg to 40 mg of sildenafil, 2.5 mg to 20 mg of tadalafil, and 1 to 20 mg of vardenafil are generally provided for the same indication. A typical dosage of an erectile dysfunction drug aerosol is either administered as a single inhalation or as a series of inhalations taken within an hour or less (dosage equals sum of inhaled amounts). Where the drug is administered as a series of inhalations, a different amount may be delivered in each inhalation.
[0099] One can determine the appropriate dose of erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols to treat a particular condition using methods such as animal experiments and a dose-finding (Phase I/II) clinical trial. One animal experiment involves measuring plasma concentrations of drug in an animal after its exposure to the aerosol. Mammals such as dogs or primates are typically used in such studies, since their respiratory systems are similar to that of a human.
Initial dose levels for testing in humans is generally less than or equal to the dose in the mammal model that resulted in plasma drug levels associated with a therapeutic effect in humans. Dose escalation in humans is then performed, until either an optimal therapeutic response is obtained or a dose-limiting toxicity is encountered.
Analysis of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0100] Purity of an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is determined using a number of methods, examples of wliich are described in Sekine et al., Journal of Forensic Science 32:1271-1280 (1987) and Martin et al., Journal of Analytic Toxicology 13:158-162 (1989). One method involves forming the aerosol in a device through which a gas flow (e.g., air flow) is maintained, generally at a rate between 0.4 and 60 L/min. The gas flow carries the aerosol into one or more traps. After isolation from the trap, the aerosol is subjected to an analytical technique, such as gas or liquid chromatography, that permits a determination of composition purity.
[0101] A variety of different traps are used for aerosol collection. The following list contains examples of such traps: filters; glass wool;
impingers;
solvent traps, such as dry ice-cooled ethanol, methanol, acetone and dichloromethane traps at various pH values; syringes that sample the aerosol;
empty, low-pressure (e.g., vacuum) containers into which the aerosol is drawn;
and, empty containers that fully surround and enclose the aerosol generating device. Where a solid such as glass wool is used, it is typically extracted with a solvent such as ethanol. The solvent extract is subjected to analysis rather than the solid (i.e., glass wool) itself. Where a syringe or container is used, the container is similarly extracted with a solvent.
[0102] The gas or liquid chromatograph discussed above contains a detection system (i.e., detector). Such detection systems are well known in the art and include, for example, flame ionization, photon absorption and mass spectrometry detectors. An advantage of a mass spectrometry detector is that it can be used to determine the structure of erectile dysfunction drug degradation products.
[0103] Particle size distribution of an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol is determined using any suitable method in the art (e.g., cascade impaction). An Andersen Eight Stage Non-viable Cascade Impactor (Andersen Instruments, Smyrna, GA) linlced to a furnace tube by a mock throat (USP
throat, Andersen Instruments, Smyrna, GA) is one system used for cascade impaction studies.
[0104] Inhalable aerosol mass density is determined, for example, by delivering a drug-containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the mass collected in the chamber. Typically, the aerosol is drawn into the chamber by having a pressure gradient between the device and the chamber, wherein the chamber is at lower pressure than the device. The volume of the chamber should approximate the tidal volume of an inhaling patient.
[0105] Inhalable aerosol drug mass density is determined, for example, by delivering a drug-containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the amount of active drug compound collected in the chamber. Typically, the aerosol is drawn into the chamber by having a pressure gradient between the device and the chamber, wherein the chamber is at lower pressure than the device. The volume of the chamber should approximate the tidal volume of an inhaling patient. The amount of active drug compound collected in the chamber is determined by extracting the chamber, conducting chromatographic analysis of the extract and comparing the results of the chromatographic analysis to those of a standard containing known amounts of drug.
[0106] Inhalable aerosol particle density is determined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confined chamber via an inhalation device and measuring the number of particles of given size collected in the chamber.
The number of particles of a given size may be directly measured based on the light-scattering properties of the particles. Alternatively, the number of particles of a given size is determined by measuring the mass of particles within the given size range and calculating the number of particles based on the mass as follows:
Total number of particles = Sum (from size range 1 to size range N) of number of particles in each size range. Number of particles in a given size range = Mass in the size range/Mass of a typical particle in the size range. Mass of a typical particle in a given size range =7c*D3*cp/6, where D is a typical particle diameter in the size range (generally, the mean boundary MMADs defining the size range) in microns, cp is the particle density (in g/mL) and mass is given in units of picograms (g"12).
[0107] Rate of inhalable aerosol particle formation is determined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confmed chamber via an inhalation device. The delivery is for a set period of time (e.g., 3 s), and the number of particles of a given size collected in the chamber is determined as outlined above. The rate of particle formation is equal to the number of 100 nm to micron particles collected divided by the duration of the collection time.
[0108] Rate of aerosol formation is deternlined, for example, by delivering aerosol phase drug into a confined chamber via an inhalation device. The delivery is for a set period of time (e.g., 3 s), and the mass of particulate matter collected is determined by weighing the confined chamber before and after the delivery of the particulate matter. The rate of aerosol formation is equal to the increase in mass in the chamber divided by the duration of the collection time. Alternatively, where a change in mass of the delivery device or component thereof can only occur through release of the aerosol phase particulate matter, the mass of particulate matter may be equated with the mass lost from the device or component during the delivery of the aerosol. In this case, the rate of aerosol formation is equal to the decrease in mass of the device or component during the delivery event divided by the duration of the delivery event.
[0109] Rate of drug aerosol formation is determined, for example, by delivering an erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol into a confined chamber via an inhalation device over a set period of time (e.g., 3 s). Where the aerosol is pure erectile dysfunction drug, the amount of drug collected in the chamber is measured as described above. The rate of-drug aerosol formation is equal to the amount of erectile dysfunction drug collected in the chamber divided by the duration of the collection time. Where the erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosol comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, multiplying the rate of aerosol formation by the percentage of erectile dysfunction drug in the aerosol provides the rate of drug aerosol formation.
Utility of Erectile Dysfunction Drug Containing Aerosols [0110] The erectile dysfunction drug containing aerosols of the present invention are typically used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
5[0111] The following examples are meant to illustrate, rather than limit, the present invention.
[0112] Sildenafil citrate is commercially available as the active ingredient in VIAGRA and can be isolated using standard methods in the art. Tadalafil can be synthesized 10 using the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,143,746 (issued November 7, 2000). Vardenafil can be synthesized using the methods described in WO/99/24433 published (May 20, 1999). Other erectile dysfunction drugs can be similarly obtained.
General Procedure for Obtaining Free Base of a Compound Salt [0113] Approximately 1 g of salt (e.g., mono hydrochloride) is dissolved in deionized water (-30 mL).
Three equivalents of sodium hydroxide (1 N NaOHaq) is added 20 dropwise to the solution, and the pH is checked to ensure it is basic. The aqueous solution is extracted four times with dichloromethane (-50 mL), and the extracts are combined, dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtered organic solution is concentrated using a rotary evaporator to provide the desired free base. If necessary, purification of the free base is performed using standard methods such as chromatography or recrystallization.
20a General Procedure for Volatilizing Compounds from Halogen Bulb [0114] A solution of drug in approximately 120 uL
dichloromethane is coated on a 3.5 cm x 7.5 cm piece of aluminum foil (precleaned with acetone). The dichloromethane is allowed to evaporate. The coated foil is wrapped around a 300 watt halogen tube (Feit Electric Company, Pico Rivera, CA), which is inserted into a glass tube sealed at one end with a rubber stopper. Running 90 V
of alternating current (driven by line power controlled by a variac) tllrough the bulb for 2.5 s affords thermal vapor (including aerosol), wliich is collected on the glass tube walls. Reverse-phase HPLC analysis with detection by absorption of 225 nm light is used to determine the purity of the aerosol. (When desired, the system is flushed through with argon prior to volatilization.) [01151 Tadalafil aerosol (0.29 mg) was obtained in 98.5% purity using this procedure. To obtain higher purity aerosols, one can coat a lesser amount of drug, yielding a thinner film to heat. A linear decrease in film thickness is associated with a linear decrease in impurities.
Second General PNocedure foy Volatilizing Compounds [0116] A flash assembly consisting of a stainless steel outer cylinder and an inner brass electrode was dipped into an organic solution containing a drug and quickly removed. Evaporation of residual solvent from the assembly was performed by air drying. This left a film of drug coated on the exterior surface of the stainless steel cylinder. The assembly was electrically connected to a capacitor network (e.g., 1.5 F) and a mechanical relay using brass connectors and then placed into a glass sleeve. A filter assembly was placed between the glass sleeve and a vacuum system. Flow (-15 L/min) was instigated through the glass sleeve using the vacuum system. Heating of the flash assembly was performed for about 0.25 s by momentarily turning on the relay between the flash assembly and the capacitors (connected to DC power supply and charged to 20.5 V) to volatilize (form, an aerosol of) the coated drug. The assembly was allowed to cool. Analysis of the formed aerosol involved rinsing the filter with 5 mL of acetonitrile and injecting a sample of the organic solution into an HPLC.
Sildenafil aerosol was obtained in 98.9% purity (0.075 mg) using this procedure.
Vardenafil aerosol was obtained in 81.4% purity (0.7 mg) using this procedure.
