Needle-Free Inhalable Vaccine and Antibiotic Powder Aerosols

Abstract

Multiple constituents can be incorporated in three fluids in a low volume cross to make heterogenous and homogenous nanoparticles and microparticles. " Pharmaceuticals, proteins, antibodies, and vaccines can be stabilized, dried, and micronized by a newly patented process, CAN-BD. " A SF nebulization, desolvation and coating method (CANBD) has been developed that can manufacture dry powders and coatings of many materials. " Coating and drying requires only seconds. " Water and many organic solvents yield nanoparticles and microparticles with unique compositions and properties. " Fluid ratios, pressures, and solute concentrations determine particle size.
