Abstract

In this study, the amino acids arginine, aspartic acid, leucine, phenylalanine and threonine were investigated as ‘dispersibility enhancers’ in spray-dried powders for inhalation. Parameters such as spray-dried yield, tapped density, and Carr's Index were not predictive of aerosolisation performance. In addition, whilst the majority of amino acid-modified powders displayed suitable particle size distribution for pulmonary administration and potentially favourable low moisture content, in vitro particle deposition was only enhanced for the leucine-modified powder. In summary, leucine can be used to enhance the dispersibility and aerosolisation properties of spray-dried powders for pulmonary drug delivery.
