SURFACTANT COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/013610
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
A pharmaceutical aerosol formulation comprising a particulate medicament, one or more fluorocarbon or hydrogen-containing fluorocarbon propellants and a compound of the general formula (I) or a salt or solvate thereof, wherein A represents a straight chain C¿1?-¿16? alkylene substituted by n groups of formula B; n represents an integer 1 to 3; and B independently represents C¿1?-¿4? fluoroalkylC¿0?-¿6? alkylene-, C¿1?-¿4? fluoroalkylC¿0?-¿6? alkylene-O-, or C¿1?-¿4? alkylC¿0?-¿6? alkylene-O- wherein at least one substituent of formula B contains at least one fluorine atom and each C¿1?-¿4? fluoroalkyl- moiety contains one or more fluorine atoms but not more than 3 consecutive perfluorinated carbon atoms. The invention also extends to uses of compounds of formula (I) and certain novel compounds within the definition of formula (I).
