No cartilage, cilia or mucusFew longitudinal elastic fibers and some smooth muscle300 million alveoli provide a large surface area (100 m2) separated from blood flow by a thin tissue layer.The entire blood volume of the body passes through the lungs each minute.

Aerosol Transport – Aerodynamic Diameter

Stokes Number and Impaction Parameter
The dimensionless Stokes number is the ratio of the stopping distance and a characteristicdimension of the gas flow. It describes how well particles are able to follow the gas flow.

The stopping distance is the initial velocity of a particle times the relaxation time. For the impaction of a gas jet onto a surface the characteristic dimension is the jet radius. The particle velocity is assumed to be the same as the gas velocity.

For lung deposition a related parameter, called impaction parameter or inertial parameter, is often used, where Q is the inspiratory flow rate. This is less accurate, because it assumes a fixed geometry.

SedimentationMore important in smaller airways and affected by breath-hold
DiffusionPrimary mechanism for small particles in the respiratory zone
InterceptionImportant for non-spherical particles

Pharmacology - Systemic Drug Delivery
Transport Across the Alveolar WallA typical aerosol dose (1 – 50 mg) deposits only a few particles per alveolus onto a thin alveolar wall (200 nm)
Transport mechanisms• Paracellular
• Tight junctions - epithelium• Loose junctions - endothelium
• Transcellular• Diffusion• Transcytosis• Receptor mediated
Absorption kinetics are fast anddepend on• Molecular weight• Solubility• Partition coefficient.

Transport mechanisms• Local aerosol concentration higher, because of
smaller surface area• Diffusion in mucus layer competes with
mucociliary clearance, solubility is important• Bioavaliability depends on location of local target• Larger distances favor small molecules• Active transport present, e.g. for
immunoglobulins
Absorption Kinetics• Slower but targeting the conducting airways is
difficult• Interstitial tissue may act as reservoir

By actuation− Passive – uses breathing maneuver to administer or disperse dose − Active – uses external energy source to administer dose
Active coordinated – requires cooperation of patientActive uncoordinated – no patient cooperation
By dosage form− Liquid (drops, jet, spray, aerosol)− Suspension− Dry (homogeneous powder, blend, on carrier)
By dosing type− Single dose − Multi dose
ReservoirUnit packaged (single course, refillable)
− Metered versus unmetered− Administration to a single patient versus multiple patients

Particle Engineering Basics
Particle design requires a good understanding of the particle formation process
Particle formation is determined by formulation and process
The balance between material properties (solubility, diffusion coefficient, solid state properties) and process parameters (droplet size, evaporation rate, droplet temperature) is key to designing the desired particle morphology
![Page 58: Introduction to Aerosol Technology for Drug Deliveryvehring/PE Page/Conference Files/AAAR... · Introduction to Aerosol Technology for Drug Delivery. Reinhard Vehring. Pearl Therapeutics,](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022016/5b5ecca67f8b9a51328d0e06/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
Problem:The two phase flow in an actual spray dryer is difficult to model.Heat and mass transfer processes are difficult to study in situ.Comprehensive numerical models of evaporation and particle formation are very complex and of limited use due to missing material properties
Approach:Isolate and study relevant sub-processes in idealized environments
Single droplets (acoustic, electrodynamic, optical levitation, concave hot plate, filament technique)Droplet chains (vibrating orifice, droplet-on-demand)Research spray dryers (highly instrumented, monodisperse)Approximate analytical model for particle formationCFD models for sub-processes with simplified two-phase conditions

Aerosol science, process development and formulation are linked and form a new discipline: Particle Engineering.
Understanding of the underlying physics and physical chemistry of the evaporation and particle formation processes has led to the development of predictive particle engineering tools.
Predictive tools for the design of packaging configurations, processing conditions, and formulation compositions allow rapid development and optimal product performance
Spray drying is capable of economical manufacture of sophisticated particles which have the potential to enable and improve therapeutics in the future for the benefit of patients
