    Abstract Asthma is a common chronic disease affecting the airways in the lungs. The receptors of allergic cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13, trigger the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway, which involves the pathogenesis of asthma. GDC-0214 is a JAK inhibitor that was developed as a potent and selective target for the treatment of asthma, specifically targeting the lungs. While inhaled GDC-0214 is a promising novel treatment option against asthma, improvement is still needed to achieve increased potency of the powder formulation and a reduced number of capsules containing powder to be inhaled. In this study, high-potency amorphous powder formulations containing GDC-0214 nanoaggregates for dry powder inhalation were developed using particle engineering technology, thin film freezing (TFF). A high dose per capsule was successfully achieved by enhancing the solubility of GDC-0214 and powder conditioning. Lactose and/or leucine as excipients exhibited optimum stability and aerosolization of GDC-0214 nanoaggregates, and aerosolization of the dose was independent of air flow through the device between 2 and 6 kPa pressure drops. In the rat PK study, formulation F20, which contains 80% GDC-0214 and 20% lactose, resulted in the highest AUC

    Abstract Purpose: This study was designed to test the feasibility of using thin-film freezing (TFF) to prepare aerosolizable dry powders of plasmid DNA (pDNA) for pulmonary delivery.
    Methods: Dry powders of pDNA formulated with mannitol/leucine (70/30, w/w) with various drug loadings, solid contents, and solvents were prepared using TFF, their aerosol properties (i.e., mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) and fine particle fraction (FPF)) were determined, and selected powders were used for further characterization.
    Results: Of the nine dry powders prepared, their MMAD values were about 1-2 µm, with FPF values (delivered) of 40-80%. The aerosol properties of the powders were inversely correlated with the pDNA loading and the solid content in the pDNA solution before TFF. Powders prepared with Tris-EDTA buffer or cosolvents (i.e., 1,4-dioxane or tert-butanol in water), instead of water, showed slightly reduced aerosol properties. Ultimately, powders prepared with pDNA loading at 5% (w/w), 0.25% of solid content, with or without Tris-EDTA were selected for further characterization due to their overall good aerosol performance. The pDNA powders exhibited a porous matrix structure, with a moisture content of < 2% (w/w). Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the chemical integrity of the pDNA after it was subjected to TFF and after the TFF powder was actuated. A cell transfection study confirmed that the activity of the pDNA did not change after it was subjected to TFF.
    Conclusion: It is feasible to use TFF to produce aerosolizable pDNA dry powder for pulmonary delivery, while preserving the integrity and activity of the pDNA.

    Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) administered intranasally as dry powders can be potentially applied for the treatment or pre-exposure prevention of viral infections in the upper respiratory tract. However, a method to transform the mAbs from liquid to dry powders suitable for intranasal administration and a device that can spray the dry powders to the desired region of the nasal cavity are needed to fully realize the potentials of the mAbs. Herein, we report that thin-film freeze-dried mAb powders can be sprayed into the posterior nasal cavity using Aptar Pharma's Unidose (UDS) Powder Nasal Spray System. AUG-3387, a human-derived mAb that neutralizes the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was used in the present study. First, we prepared thin-film freeze-dried AUG-3387 powders (i.e., TFF AUG-3387 powders) from liquid formulations containing different levels of mAbs. The TFF AUG-3387 powder with the highest solid content (i.e., TFF AUG-3387C) was then chosen for further characterization, including the evaluation of the plume geometry, spray pattern, and particle size distribution after the powder was sprayed using the UDS Powder Nasal Spray. Finally, the deposition patterns of the TFF AUG-3387C powder sprayed using the UDS Powder delivery system were studied using 3D-printed nasal replica casts based on the CT scans of an adult and a child. It is concluded that it is feasible to intranasally deliver mAbs as dry powders by transforming the mAbs into dry powders using thin-film freeze-drying and then spraying the powder using a powder nasal spray system.

    Abstract This review provides an assessment of post-inhalation cough with therapeutic aerosols. Factors that increase cough may be mitigated through design of the drug, formulation, and device. The incidence of cough is typically less than 5% for drugs with a nominal dose less than 1 mg, including asthma and COPD therapeutics. Cough increases markedly as the dose approaches 100 mg. This is due to changes in the composition of epithelial lining fluid (e.g., increases in osmolality, proton concentration). Whether an individual exhibits cough depends on their degree of sensitization to mechanical and chemical stimuli. Hypersensitivity is increased when the drug, formulation or disease result in increases in lung inflammation. Cough related to changes in epithelial lining fluid composition can be limited by using insoluble neutral forms of drugs and excipients.

    Abstract Niclosamide is an FDA-approved anthelmintic that is being studied in clinical trials as a chemotherapeutic and broad-spectrum antiviral. Additionally, several other applications are currently in the preclinical stage. Unfortunately, niclosamide is a poorly water soluble molecule, with reduced oral bioavailability, which hinders its use for new indications. Moreover, niclosamide is a poor glass former; in other words, the molecule has a high tendency to recrystallize, and it is virtually impossible to generate a stable amorphous solid employing the neat molecule. Previously, our group reported the development of an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) of niclosamide (niclosamide ASD) that generates nanoparticles during its dissolution, not only increasing niclosamide's apparent solubility from 6.6 ± 0.4 to 481.7 ± 22.2 µg/mL in fasted state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF) but also its oral bioavailability 2.6-fold in Sprague-Dawley rats after being administered as a suspension. Nevertheless, niclosamide ASD undergoes recrystallization in acidic media, and an enteric oral dosage form is needed for its translation into the clinic. In this work, we further characterized the nanoparticles that generated during the dissolution of the niclosamide ASD. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) revealed that the nanoparticles were amorphous and had a particle size of ~150 nm. The oral dosage forms of niclosamide ASD were formulated using commercial enteric capsules (Capsuline

    Abstract Thin-film freeze-drying (TFFD) is a rapid freezing and then drying technique used to prepare inhalable dry powders from the liquid form for applications such as drug delivery to the lungs. Herein we report the preparation of aerosolizable dry powders of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) by TFFD. We first formulated an IgG antibody with lactose/leucine (60:40, w/w) or trehalose/leucine (75:25) and tested their aerosol performance. The IgG 1% (w/w) formulated with lactose/leucine (60:40, w/w) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (IgG-1-LL-PBS) and processed by TFFD was found to produce the powder with desirable aerosol properties. We then replaced the IgG with anti-programmed cell death protein (anti-PD-1 mAb), a specific antibody, to prepare a dry powder (anti-PD1-1-LL-PBS), which performed similarly to the IgG-1-LL-PBS powder. The aerosol properties of the anti-PD1-1-LL-PBS dry powder were significantly better when TFFD was used to prepare the powder than when conventional shelf freeze-drying (shelf FD) was used. The TFFD dry powder had a porous structure with nanoaggregates and had a T

    Abstract Counterions commonly remain with peptides in salt form after peptide purification. In animal and human studies, acetate counterions are a safer and more acceptable choice for peptides than others (e.g., trifluoroacetate counterions). Various salt forms of caveolin-1 scaffolding domain (CSP7) affect counterion volatilization. The development of lyophilized formulations containing volatile compounds is a challenge because these compounds sublimate away during the process. This work aims to investigate the effect of excipients and lyophilization parameters on the preservation of volatile compounds after lyophilization. The peak areas obtained from

    Abstract Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are one of the most widely used devices for treating respiratory diseases. Thin--film--freezing (TFF) is a particle engineering technology that has been demonstrated to prepare dry powder for inhalation with enhanced physicochemical properties. Aerosol performance, which is indicated by fine particle fraction (FPF) and mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD), is an important consideration during the product development process. However, the conventional approach for formulation development requires many trial-and-error experiments, which is both laborious and time consuming. As a state-of-the art technique, machine learning has gained more attention in pharmaceutical science and has been widely applied in different settings. In this study, we have successfully built a prediction model for aerosol performance by using both tabular data and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. TFF technology was used to prepare 134 dry powder formulations which were collected as a tabular dataset. After testing many machine learning models, we determined that the Random Forest (RF) model was best for FPF prediction with a mean absolute error of ± 7.251%, and artificial neural networks (ANNs) performed the best in estimating MMAD with a mean absolute error of ± 0.393 μm. In addition, a convolutional neural network was employed for SEM image classification and has demonstrated high accuracy (>83.86%) and adaptability in predicting 316 SEM images of three different drug formulations. In conclusion, the machine learning models using both tabular data and image classification were successfully established to evaluate the aerosol performance of dry powder for inhalation. These machine learning models facilitate the product development process of dry powder for inhalation manufactured by TFF technology and have the potential to significantly reduce the product development workload. The machine learning methodology can also be applied to other formulation design and development processes in the future.
