Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and a device for volatilizing a physiologically active compound and administering the volatilized compound in the form of an aerosol to a patient.
  • An aerosol is defined as an assembly of liquid or solid particles suspended in a gaseous medium. (See Aerosol Measurement, Willeke and Baron, Wiley-lnterscience 1993.) It is known that aerosols of appropriate particle size, can be used to deliver drugs to organs and tissues such as the lung and mucosa. (See Gonda, I., “Particle Deposition in the Human Respiratory Tract,” The Lung: Scientific Foundations, 2 nd ed., Crystal, West, et al. editors, Lippincott-Raven Publishers, 1997).
  • a problem in generating an aerosol is maintaining the purity of a compound being administered into the lung, as an aerosol. This is a critical issue that must be addressed before inhalation delivery of a compound to humans will be acceptable to regulatory agencies, physicians and patients. Any compound administered to humans must meet strict purity requirements regulated by government agencies and industry. For example, the United States Food and Drug Administration mandates purity requirements for pharmaceutical materials sold in the United States to protect the health of consumers of those products. Purity requirements are often material specific. Maximum impurity or degradant levels are specified at the time of manufacture of compounds as well as at the time of their consumption or administration. Any aerosolization device or process that will be utilized for pharmaceutical applications, therefore, must deliver materials meeting purity requirements. Mechanisms of chemical degradation that might occur during vaporization and aerosolization, the processes relevant to this invention, are discussed below.
  • DPI dry powder inhalers
  • the first problem is the manufacturing of the dry powder.
  • Some mills used for micronization are known to produce heat, which can cause degradation of the drug, and tend to shed metallic particles as contaminants.
  • Following milling it is often necessary to mix the drug with a carrier to impart flowability.
  • the micronized drug and the drug-excipient mix must be maintained in a dry atmosphere lest moisture cause agglomeration of the drug into larger particles.
  • many dry powders grow as they are delivered to the patient's airways due to the high levels of moisture present in the lung. Thus, this approach requires scrupulous attention during milling, blending, powder flow, filling and even administration to assure that the patient receives the proper particle size distribution.
  • Nebulizers generate an aerosol from a liquid, some by breakup of a liquid jet and some by ultrasonic vibration of the liquid with or without a nozzle. All liquid aerosol devices must overcome the problems associated with formulation of the compound into a stable liquid state. Liquid formulations must be prepared and stored under aseptic or sterile conditions since they can harbor microorganisms. This necessitates the use of preservatives or unit dose packaging. Additionally solvents, detergents and other agents are used to stabilize the drug formulation. The FDA is increasingly concerned about airway hypersensitivity from these agents.
  • PMDI's Pressurized metered dose inhalers, or pMDI's, are an additional class of aerosol dispensing devices.
  • PMDI's package the compound in a canister under pressure with a solvent and propellant mixture, usually chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's, which are being phased out due to environmental concerns), or hydroflouroalkanes (HFA's).
  • CFC's chlorofluorocarbons
  • HFA's hydroflouroalkanes
  • pMDI's particle size is hard to control and has poor reproducibility leading to uneven and unpredictable bioavailability.
  • pMDIs are inefficient because a portion of the dose is lost on the walls of the actuator, and due to the high speed ejection of the aerosol from the nozzle, much of the drug impacts ballistically on the tongue, mouth and throat and never gets to the lung.
  • reactions may involve only the parent compound or may involve other chemicals such as oxygen in air and materials in the surfaces to which the compound may be exposed. Reactions may be single step or multiple steps, leading to the potential of many degradation products. Activation energies of these reactions depend on molecular structures, energy transfer mechanisms, transitory configurations of the reacting molecular complexes, and the effects of neighboring molecules. Frequently, on the practical macroscopic scale, a drug dose may suffer from many degradation reactions in progress at the same time. Because of this complex potential for degradation, drug substances are often stored at or below room temperature.
  • the present invention overcomes the foregoing disadvantages and problems, making it possible to produce pure aerosols of degradable compounds wherein the particle size is stable and selectable.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and a device for generating and delivering an aerosol formed through vaporization of a compound with real or potential physiological activity.
  • a physiologically active compound with real or potential physiological activity is defined here as a chemical compound or mixture of compounds that alters affects, treats, cures, prevents or diagnoses a disease after it is administered to the mammalian body.
  • the compound with real or potential physiological activity will be referred to hereafter as the compound or as the drug. Examples would include medicinal drugs, or “pro-drugs” (substances converted into drugs within the body), that would be administered for the treatment, cure, or diagnosis of diseases.
  • the method of the present invention for generating an aerosol comprises the steps:
  • a desired particle size is typically from molecular to about 10 microns in diameter. Aerosols having “ultra fine” (0.01 to 0.1 micron) and “fine” (1 to 3 micron) particle sizes are known to provide efficient and effective systemic delivery through the lung. Current literature suggests that the middle size range of particles, between ultra fine and fine, i.e., between 0.1 and 1 micron in size, are too small to settle onto the lung wall and too massive to diffuse to the wall in a timely manner. Thus, a significant number of such particles are removed from the lung by exhalation, and thus are not involved in treating disease (see Gonda).
  • This method creates a mixture of vapor and gas for administration to the patient.
  • air for the purposes of controlling particle size the terms “air”, “mixing gas”, “dilution gas” and “carrier gas” are interchangeable.

  • compounds are volatilized into vapors avoiding medicinally-significant degradation and thus maintaining acceptable compound purity by the steps of (1) heating the physiologically active compound to a temperature for a limited time and (2) under the conditions of step (1), simultaneously passing a gas across the surface of the compound.
  • vaporization has not previously been viewed as a reasonable mechanism for the delivery of most pharmaceutical compounds.
  • the present invention makes vaporization a practical delivery method in part, by utilizing a flow of gas across the surface of the compound, to create a dynamic situation in which a compound's vapor molecules are swept away from its surface, driving the chemical equilibrium process towards further vaporization.
  • this method creates a practical rate of vaporization with only moderate heating.

  • fentanyl which decomposes rapidly at 300° C.
  • Vaporization can therefore be accomplished with the embodiments of this invention at practical rates, i.e., in the range of about 0.5 to about 2 mg/second, and at temperatures much below the compounds' boiling points. The ability to vaporize at these reduced temperatures provides a means to lower rates of degradation reactions in many compounds.
  • the ability of the present invention to also limit the time during which the compound is exposed to an elevated temperature is also critical. Limiting the exposure time of a compound to temperature is accomplished by rapid heating of a thin film of a deposited compound followed by immediate cooling of the compound vapors as they enter a carrier gas stream. In the preferred embodiments, the compound is moved quickly through a heating/mixing zone to facilitate a rapid temperature rise on the order of 2,000° C./second. Compounds thus reach vaporization temperatures in ten's of milliseconds. Under these conditions, compound molecules quickly escape as vapors from thin layers of deposited compound, and move into a cool carrier gas stream that flows across the surface of the compound. The vapor molecules, thus quickly created, lose their thermal energy when they collide with molecules of the cooler carrier gas.
  • the method of the present invention which uses rapid heating to reach vaporization temperatures of compounds, and after vaporization, rapid cooling of the vapor, has been shown to be significant in reducing decomposition, one of the obstacles to generating the desired aerosol.
  • Lipophilic substance # 87 for example, decomposed by more than 90% when heated at 425° C. for 5 minutes, but only 20% when the temperature was lowered to 350° C. Decomposition was lowered further to about 12% when the time was decreased to 30 seconds, and to less than 2% when the time was decreased to 10-50 milliseconds. Similarly, 100% of a fentanyl sample decomposed when heated to 200° C.
  • the method of this invention also overcomes the second obstacle to generating the desired aerosol by controlling the generated compound vapors so that an aerosol is formed that (1) is comprised of particles within a desired size range and (2) these particles are sufficiently stable so they will retain their sizes within that range during the time necessary to administer the aerosol to a patient.

  • particles frequently collide and adhere to each other.
  • Such a collision and adhesion event creates one particle from two smaller ones.
  • these events lead to an increase in mean particle size and a decrease in number concentration.
  • the frequency of collisions among particles then decreases, since there are fewer particles available and because the remaining larger particles move more slowly. As a consequence, the rate of particle size growth slows.
  • stable particle size can be applied in a practical sense when particle size growth has slowed sufficiently to ensure the purpose of the application.
  • a stable particle would be one that exists in the ultra fine or fine size range for the 1 to 3 seconds required for a typical inhalation.
  • a particle of the ultra fine or fine size range is produced that is stable for several seconds.
  • a predetermined amount of compound in its vapor-state can be mixed into a predetermined volume of a carrier gas in a ratio to give particles of a desired size as the number concentration of the aerosol itself becomes stable.
  • a stable number concentration is approximately 10 9 particles/cc.
  • the method of the present invention forms the aerosol with particles of a desired size range and stability by controlling the rate of vaporization, the rate of introduction of a carrier gas, and the mixing of the vapors and the carrier gas, thereby manipulating the parameters that govern the physical processes of a compound's condensation and particle aggregation.
  • Controlling the ratio of the vaporized compound to the volume of mixing air can be done by a number of methods including: (a) measuring the quantity and regulating the flow rate of the mixing air; and/or (b) regulating the vaporization rate of the compound, e.g. changing the energy transferred to the compound during the heating process or changing the amount of compound introduced into a heating region.
  • the site of deposition within the lung can be changed. This can allow targeting of the site of deposition of the compound in the lung and airways.
  • a desired particle size is achieved by mixing a compound in its vapor-state into a volume of a carrier gas, in a ratio such that when the number concentration of the mixture reaches approximately 10 9 particles/ml, a “stable” particle size is present.
  • the amount of compound and the volume of gas are each predetermined to achieve this ratio.
  • FIG. 23 shows the time in seconds it takes for the number concentration of an aerosol to aggregate to half of its original value as a function of the particle concentration. It is a plot of theoretical data calculated from a mathematical model, (See Hinds). For example, a 1.0 mg vaporized dose of a compound with a molecular weight of 200 that is mixed into 1 liter of air will have approximately 3 ⁇ 10 18 molecules (particles) in the liter. This results in a number concentration of 3 ⁇ 10 15 /cc. Extrapolating from FIG. 23, one can see that the time required for the number of particles to halve in this example is less than 10 microseconds. This demonstrates that to insure uniform mixing of the vaporized compound, the mixing must happen in a very short time.
  • FIG. 23 shows that when the number concentration of the mixture reaches approximately 10 9 particles/cc, the particle sized will be “stable” for the purpose of drug delivery by inhalation.

  • K Coagulation Coefficient
  • Table 1 gives the K values for various particle sizes.

  • the size of the particle affects its stability.
  • the ratio of mass of vaporized compound to the volume of the mixing gas is the controlling condition. By changing this ratio, the particle size can be manipulated (see FIG. 29). However, not all compounds and not all gases, with the same ratio will result in the same particle size distribution (PSD). Other factors must be known to be able to accurately predict the resultant particle size. A compound's density, polarity, and temperature are examples of some of these factors. Additionally, whetheer the compound is hydrophilic or hydrophobic will affect the eventual particle size, because this factor affects an aerosol's tendency to grow by taking on water from the surrounding environment.
  • the compound is non polar (or has a weak polarity).
  • the compound is hydrophobic or hydrophilic with a mixing gas that is dry.
  • the resultant aerosol is at or close to standard temperature and pressure.
  • Predicting the particle size would be a simple matter for a given number concentration and amount of the compound, if the GSD is 1. With a GSD of 1, all of the particle sizes are the same size and therefore the calculation of particle size becomes a matter of dividing a compound's mass into the number of particles given by the number concentration and from there calculating the particle size diameter using the density of the compound.

  • an aerosol of the desired particle size range is created by controlling the volume of air (or other gas) within which the compound is allowed to aggregate.
  • air or other gas
  • a large ratio of mixing gas to compound vapor is used.
  • it is necessary to reduce the volume of the initial mixing gas which leads to an increase in the concentration of the compound, which in turn results in a greater particle size growth before a desired number concentration is reached and aggregation slows.
  • this initial mixing stage can be, if needed, accomplished in the presence of an inert gas to reduce decomposition resulting from oxidation.
  • the required vaporization rate is different depending on the particle size one wishes to create. If the particle size is in the ultra fine region, then the compound, once vaporized, must be mixed, in most cases, into the largest possible volume of air. This volume of air is determined from lung physiology and can be assumed to have a reasonable upper limit of 2 liters. If the volume of air is limited to below 2 liters (e.g. 500 cc, unless the dose is exceedingly small, i.e., less that 50 ⁇ g, too large a particle will result and optimum lung deposition will not be possible.

  • the use of a reduced airway cross section increases the speed of the air across the compound's surface to about 10 meters/second. If complete mixing is to happen within 1 millisecond then the distance the gas and vaporized mixture must travel to achieve complete mixing must be no longer than 10 millimeters. However, it is more desirable for complete mixing to happen before the compound has aggregated to a larger size, so a desirable mixing distance is about 1 millimeter or less.
  • an ultra fine aerosol is generated by allowing air to sweep over a thin film of the compound during the heating process. This allows the compound to become vaporized at a lower temperature due to the lowering of the partial pressure of the compound near the surface of the film.

  • the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 20 is a thermal gradient device that is similar to the preferred embodiment used in the laboratory experiments.
  • This device also has a moving heating zone without any moving parts, accomplished by establishing a heat gradient that transverses from one end of the device to the other over time. As the heating zone moves, exposed portions of the compound are sequentially heated and vaporized. In this manner the vaporized compound can be introduced into a gas stream over time.
  • the ninth embodiment shown in FIGS. 21 - 22 is the screen device and is preferred for generating a fine aerosol.
  • air is channeled through a fine mesh screen upon which the drug to be administered to the patient has been deposited.
  • the embodiments above can create aerosols without significant drug decomposition. This is accomplished while maintaining a required vaporization rate for particle size control by employing a short duration heating cycle. An airflow over the surface of the compound is established such that when the compound is heated and reaches the temperature where vaporization is first possible, the resulting compound vapors will immediately cool in the air. In the preferred embodiments, this is accomplished by extending the increased velocity and mixing region over an area that is larger than the heating zone region. As a result, precise control of temperature is not necessary since the compound vaporizes the instant its vaporization temperature is reached. Additionally because mixing is also present at the point of vaporization, cooling is accomplished quickly upon vaporization.
  • a patient is directed to breathe in a way that maximizes deposition of the drug in the lung.
  • This kind of breathing usually involves a full exhalation, followed by a deep inhalation sometimes at a prescribed inhalation flow rate range, e.g., about 10 to about 150 liters/minute, followed by a breath hold of several seconds.
  • the aerosol is not uniformly distributed in the air being inhaled, but is loaded into the early part of the breath as a bolus of aerosol, followed by a volume of clean air so that the aerosol is drawn into the alveoli and flushed out of the conductive airways, bronchi and trachea by the volume of clean air that follows.

  • the parameters of the design for one of the preferred embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 - 5 , 7 and 8 are the result of meeting and balancing the competing requirements listed above.
  • One especially important requirement for an ultra fine aerosol is that a compound, while needing to be vaporized within at least a 1-second period, also needs to have each portion of the compound exposed to a heat-up period that is as brief as possible.
  • the compound is deposited onto a foil substrate and an alternating magnetic field is swept along a foil substrate heating the substrate such that the compound is vaporized sequentially over no more than about a one second period of time. Because of the sweeping action of the magnetic field, each segment of the compound has a heat-up time that is much less than one second.
  • the compound is laid down on a thin metallic foil.
  • stainless steel alloy of 302, 304, or 316
  • Other foil materials can be used, but it is important that the surface and texture of the material is such that it is “wetted” by the compound when the compound is in its liquid phase, otherwise it is possible for the liquid compound to “ball” up which would defeat the design of the device and significantly change the volatilizing parameters. If the liquid compound “balls” up, the compound can be blown into and picked up by the airflow without ever vaporizing. This leads to delivery of a particle size that is uncontrolled and undesirable.
  • Stainless steel has advantages over materials like aluminum because it has a lower thermal conductivity value, without an appreciable increase in thermal mass. Low thermal conductivity is helpful because heat generated by the process needs to remain in the immediate area of interest.

  • This invention allows for the administration of water insoluble drugs to a mammal without the need for excipients or injection. This can be advantageous in treating diseases of the eye, mucosa, skin and broken-skin.
  • Another advantage comes from the ability of the present invention to produce an ultra fine aerosol. Approximately 50,000 times as many particles exist within a volume of ultra fine aerosol as exists in the same mass of a fine aerosol. Since each particle deposits on the membrane of the lung, a correspondingly greater number of deposition sites are created in the lungs and at each site less material has to be dissolved and transported into the blood stream. This may be important for improving the rate of absorption and thus the bioavailabilty of compounds, e.g., lipophilic compounds, and large molecules such as proteins, peptides and DNA.

  • the temperature rise was also in a region where the geometry of the passage had been designed to promote rapid mixing of the vaporized compound into the air. This rapid mixing helped overcome the two noted obstacles in two ways. First, because of the rapid mixing there was a more uniform distribution of the compound into the air. This gave rise to a small distribution of particle sizes, which in turn insured a consistent and small particle size. Second, because rapid mixing occurred, the vaporized compound was rapidly cooled by exchange of its kinetic energy with kinetic energy of the cooler carrier air; which reduced decomposition.
  • the time frame of the introduction of the compound into the heating/vaporization/mixing zone was designed to vaporize the compound into a volume of air that was suitable for both the volume required by lung anatomy (600-700 cc) for the dog and the volume needed to control the ratio of the compound to the air, and thereby to control particle size.

Temperature data was collected and used for quality control and verification and not to control any heating parameters.
  • a second temperature sensor was located at the end of TC 1 line 132 in outlet 124 and was used to monitor the temperature of the air delivered to the dog.

  • the rods that were placed in a staggered pattern had sharp squared off ends, which caused turbulence as the air was draw around them. Rapid, highly turbulent movement of mixing air resulted, which assured complete mixing of the vapor with the air passing through the device.

  • Airway section 140 was located directly over heating zone 70 and created a heating/vaporization/mixing zone. Prior to commencing aerosol generation, slide 78 was in the downstream position. Slide 78 , with its contents, was then drawn upstream into this heating/vaporization/mixing zone 70 as energy was applied to foil 64 through the inductive heater system described in detail below.
  • the device of the present invention can be equipped with an annunciating device.
  • One of the many functions for the annunciating device is to alert the operator of the device that the compound is not being vaporized or is being improperly vaporized.
  • the annunciating device can also be used to alert the operator that the gas flow rate is outside a desired range.
  • Annunciating device 170 with on-off switch 174 is schematically represented in FIG. 6 for use with hand held device 180 .
  • a signal from annunciating device 170 would alert the patient to adjust the inhalation rate to the desired range.

  • the induction drive circuit 190 shown in FIG. 8 was used to drive the induction-heating element of ADME device 1 .
  • the purpose of circuit 190 was to produce an alternating current in drive coil 98 wrapped around ferrite core 90 .
  • Circuit 190 consisted of two P-channel transistors 200 and two N-channel MOSFET transistors 202 arranged in a bridge configuration. MOSFET transistors 200 and 202 connected to clock pulse generator 219 were turned on and off in pairs by D-type flip-flop 208 through MOSFET transistor drive circuit 210 .
  • D-type flip-flop 208 was wired in such a way as to cause the Q output of the flip-flop to alternately change state with the rising edge of the clock generation signal.
  • One pair of MOSFET transistors 200 was connected to the Q output on D-type flip-flop 208 and the other pair, 202 , is connected to the Q-not output of flip-flop 208 .
  • Q was high (5 Volts)
  • a low impedance connection was made between the D.C. power supply (not shown) and the series combination of drive coil 98 and the capacitor through the pair of MOSFET transistors 200 controlled by the Q output.
  • D-type flip-flop 208 changed state and Q-not was high, the low impedance connection from the power supply to the series combination drive coil 98 and capacitor 220 was reversed. Since flip-flop 208 changes state on the rising edge of the clock generation signal, two flip-flop changes are required for one complete drive cycle of the induction-heating element.
  • the clock generation signal was set at twice the resonant frequency of the series combination of drive coil 90 and capacitor 220 .
  • the clock signal frequency can be manually or automatically set.
  • Controller 30 signaled controller 20 to start ADME device 1 and to begin collecting data from the two temperature sensors and flow meter 4 .
  • device 1 After a pre-programmed delay, device 1 initiated the generation of the aerosol. (Note: there was a delay of about 0.4 seconds between the start of the controller 30 and the start of aerosol generation.)
  • controller 30 opened input valve 58 to start forced inhalation to a dog under experimentation.
  • Device 1 completed the aerosol generation during the inhalation.
  • Controller 30 monitored flow meter 4 and pressure transducer 240 throughout the inhalation and closed off flow at input valve 58 when a pre-specified volume or pressure was met. (Note: the pre-specified pressure is a safety feature to prevent injury to the subject animal. Termination of the breath at the pre-specified volume is the desirable occurrence of the experiment.)
  • Controller 30 recorded values for the following: volume dispensed, terminal pressure, duration of air pulse, and average flow rate. Controller 20 continuously recorded at millisecond resolution, input flow rate, exhaust flow rate, foil temperature, mouthpiece temperature, slide position, heater on/off time, and other internal diagnostic electrical parameters.
  • Three weight-matched female beagle dogs received fentanyl at a 100 ⁇ g intravenous bolus dose.
  • the same dogs received fentanyl UF for Inhalation (100 ⁇ g aerosolized and administered as two successive activations of an ADME device 1 , containing approximately 50 ⁇ g of fentanyl base) at a particle size of 80 nm (MMAD).
  • the aerosol was administered to anesthetized dogs via the system schematically represented in FIG. 1, with a target delivered volume of 600-700 ml air, followed by a 5 second breath hold. After dosing, plasma samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were obtained at various time points from 2 min to 24 hr. Fentanyl remaining in the dosing and administration apparatus 1 was recovered and measured. Fentanyl concentrations were measured by using a validated GC method, with a limit of detection of 0.2 ng/ml.
  • Plasma pharmacokinetics from this example was compared to intravenous (IV) fentanyl (100 ⁇ g) in the same dogs. Inhalation of fentanyl resulted in rapid absorption (Cmax, maximum concentration in plasma, 11.6 ng/ml and Tmax, maximum time, 2 min.) and high bioavailability (84%). The time course of inhaled fentanyl was nearly identical to that of IV fentanyl. Thus, fentanyl UF for inhalation had an exposure profile that was similar to that of an IV injection.
  • fentanyl to demonstrate the utility of the preferred embodiment is significant for several reasons.
  • the liver extensively metabolizes fentanyl.
  • an oral dosage form of fentanyl would tend to be less effective because the drug must be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and then delivered to the liver.
  • Either an IV dose or an inhalation dose of fentanyl travels directly from its site of entry, a vein in the case of an IV or to the lung in the case of the present invention, to the brain, its primary site of action, before it passes through the liver.
  • the administration of fentanyl to patients is currently provided in several dosage forms: intravenous, transdermal and transmucosal.
  • the latter consists of a matrix of fentanyl citrate on a stick (Actiq® oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate).
  • Actiq® oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate The product literature provided for Actiq indicate that 25% of the dose is absorbed from the buccal mucosa while the remaining 75% is swallowed with the saliva and is then slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. About 1 ⁇ 3 of this amount (25% of the total dose) escapes hepatic and intestinal first-pass elimination and becomes systemically available.
  • a significant advantage of the delivery system of the present invention is that it provides a means for rapid absorption of drugs such as fentanyl into the blood system for delivery directly to the brain, without the use of needles or excipients and without being exposed to a first pass metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract or liver.
  • D was the dose and AUC was the AUC determined to the last measurable time point.
  • FIG. 26 plots the data obtained on the blood levels, by dog, for both the IV doses and the inhalation doses using device 1 as described above under Example 1.
  • Table 2 summarizes the data collected from use of ADME device 1 for in vitro testing of fentanyl. Particle size was measured with a Moudi cascade impactor. TABLE 2 Compound Mass Mixing air volume (ug) (cc) MMAD (nm) GSD 20 400 71 1.9 25 400 72-78 1.7-1.8 50 400 77-88 1.7-185 100 400 100-105 1.4-1.8 200 400 103-123 1.6-1.9 300 400 140-160 1.8-2.1
  • FIG. 27 compares the MAD calculated value for a GSD equal to 1.35 and 1.60 to actual data on MAD summarized in Table 2 for ADME device.
  • MMAD Mass Mean Aerodynamic Diameter; the diameter of a particle of unit density material that exhibits the same aerodynamic behavior as the measured aerosol
  • MMD Mass Mean Diameter; the diameter of a unit density particle
  • the curves of FIG. 27 demonstrate a good correlation between the theoretical model based on the equations set forth earlier and actual data. Note that the theoretical prediction for small particles is less than the actual data. The reason, as stated earlier, is that when particle size becomes less than 80 nm the coagulation coefficient gets larger. As this happens a stable number concentration is reached at a lower number. If the calculation of MMD is redone with a number concentration of 0.5 ⁇ 10 9 /cc instead of 1.0 ⁇ 10 9/ cc, as used above, the curves shown in FIG. 28 result. As can be seen, the actual data fits the calculated data much better for the small particle sizes.
  • ADME device 1 was slightly modified and the flow rate changed, as discussed below, to make a fine aerosol in the 1 to 3 micron particle size range.
  • Airway section 140 was removed and the air channel heating/vaporization zone 70 was changed.
  • An airway insert (not shown) had a “roof” that was 0.25 inches above the foil. There were no mixing rods as rapid mixing was not desirable in this example. Because of these two device changes, there was much less mixing with the air, thus the vapor/aerosol cloud was mixed with less air and produced a larger particle size aerosol.
  • DOP dioctyl phthalate
  • a fine particle size can be made with ADME device 1 merely by changing the ratio of the compound to the mixing air.
