Filed:

Aug 7, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/923519

Inventors:

Cynthia Stevenson - Mountain View CA
Jayne E. Hastedt - San Carlos CA
S. Russ Lehrman - Los Altos CA

Assignee:

Nektar Therapeutics - San Carlos CA

International Classification:

A61K 900

US Classification:

424 43, 46489, 12820315, 514 2

Abstract:

The present invention provides highly dispersible spray-dried powder compositions, and in particular, inhaleable dry powder compositions for aerosolized delivery to the lungs. The powders of the invention are produced by spray drying a 4 -helix bundle protein under conditions which both (i) protect the protein from aggregation and (ii) provide particles suitable for inhalation (i. e. , demonstrating superior aerosol performance).

Abstract:

Methods are provided for preparing spray-dried, drug-containing particles comprising the steps of selecting (i) a drug and an optional excipient, wherein the combination of the drug and optional excipient has an effective pI, and (ii) an aqueous solution having a pH that is different from the effective pI; (b) combining the solution and the drug and optional excipient, wherein an absolute net charge is associated with the drug and optional excipient as a result of an absolute difference between the pH and effective pI; and (c) spray drying the solution to form the spray-dried, drug-containing particles. Particles and compositions comprising the prepared particles as well as methods of use are also provided.
