摘要: The aim of this study was to develop roflumilast dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations by spray drying using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) and determine their suitability for pulmonary delivery. Different feed solution concentrations, solvent systems parameters were used obtain the which characterized X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution, bulk tapped density, specific surface area, dynamic vapour sorption, in vitro deposition properties a Next Generation Impactor (NGI) transepithelial permeability. Microparticles dried from ethanol wrinkled amorphous, exhibiting high glass transition temperatures while those methanol:n-butyl acetate consisted irregularly shaped porous particles partially crystalline. All presented low residual content depositon lower stages NGI. Mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMADs) range 3.32-4.49 μm, with fine fractions (FPF < 5 μm). Stability studies demonstrated no significant modifications solid-state nature aerolisation performance selected formulation Papp 8.73 × 10-6 ± 4.70 10-7 cm/s. developed DPI have potential therapeutic applications treatment lung diseases.
