Title:
PROPELLANT MIXTURES AND AEROSOLS FOR MICRONISING MEDICAMENTS WITH COMPRESSED GAS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1997040824
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Propellant mixtures and medicament aerosols which contain them are described for micronizing medicaments for pulmonary use. The propellant mixture is in a subcritical state and contains at least one component from a first class of propellant gasses and at least one component from a second class of propellant gasses. The first class includes propellant gasses with an evaporation enthalpy of 200 kJ/kg or less at 25° C. and a vapor pressure of 20 bars or more at 25° C., and the second class includes propellant gasses with an evaporation enthalpy of 300 kJ/kg or more at 25° C. and a vapor pressure of 10 bars or less at 25° C. By using this propellant mixture in a medicament aerosol, micronized medicaments are obtained in which approximately 80% by weight of the generated particles have less than 8 mum diameter.
