Abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical compositions of opioids and other drugs

An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opiods. In the preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In preferred embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and preferably organic solvent insoluble, but enzymatically degradable by enzymes present in the human gastrointestinal tract. The abuse-deterrent composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is broken down or dissolved gradually within the GI tract by a combination of enzymatic degradation, surfactant action of bile acids, and mechanical erosion.

Method and apparatus for electrostatically depositing a medicament powder upon predefined regions of a substrate

A method for electrostatically depositing select doses of medicament powder at select locations on a substrate. Specifically, an apparatus contains a charged particle emitter for generating charged particles that charge a predefined region of a substrate and a charge accumulation control circuit for computing the amount of charge accumulated upon the substrate and deactivating the emitter when a selected quantity of charge has accumulated. Additionally, a triboelectric charging apparatus charges the medicament powder and forms a charged medicament cloud proximate the charged region of the substrate. The medicament particles within the medicament cloud electrostatically adhere to the charged region. The quantity of charge accumulated on the substrate at the predefined region and the charge-to-mass ratio of the medicament powder in the cloud control the amount (dose) of medicament deposited and retained by the substrate. Consequently, this apparatus accurately controls both medicament dosage and deposition location. Furthermore, since the substrate can be of any dielectric material that retains an electrostatic charge, the apparatus can be used to deposit medicament on substrates that are presently used in oral medicament consumption, e.g., substrates that are used to fabricate suppositories, inhalants, tablets, capsules and the like.

Surfactant-based antimicrobial solution for inhalation

A surfactant can be added, safely and effectively, to a drug solution containing any antimicrobial agent, such as an antibiotic like tobramycin, that is suitable for administration to the lungs via inhalation. Thus, when an aerosolized drug solution includes surfactant, Marangoni flows cause the drug particles, once deposited in the lungs, to spread over a wider surface area, thereby ensuring greater antimicrobial efficacy. A solution that contains, for example, an antibiotic and tyloxapol or another surfactant providing a similar surface tension to the composition is optimally delivered by the functional combination of a breath-actuated nebulizer and a high-flow compressor.
