However, in addition, for pMDI systems the rate of sedimentation (or creaming), will be directly related to the densities of the media and the particulates. Thus, by modifying the density of the API powder it may become possible to “density match” the formulation and thus create a stable system. This approach was employed in Nektar’s PulmoSphere technology (81). Furthermore, by incorporating a porous surface topography and spherical morphology, contact area effects are minimized. The monitoring of particle surface energy is another possibility that has been explored in order to improve the suspension stability in pMDIs.
The presence of a non-volatile additive in a soluiblized HFA-volatile-co-solvent system will result in an increase in the final droplet size. Since evaporation is dependent on the initial solution composition, the integration of a non-volatile component, such as glycerol, into the primary pMDI solution will result in the final aerosol containing both drug and non-volatile additive. Subsequently, after evaporation of the volatile components the resultant particulate size will be dependent on the concentration of the non-volatile component which will dominate the particle size.
The major developments in pMDI formulation and technology have been reviewed and an overview provided as to how the latest advances in aerosol technology have been used in order to improve upon existing inhaler performance. There are a multitude of formulation and device factors to consider when developing a pMDI. For these reasons a multiplicity of approaches have been applied for the determination of the effect of such variables on performances. As a result, although much is known about pMDIs at the empirical level, a systematic approach between in vitro measurements and in vivo clinical outcomes has been clearly missing.
