This study aimed to develop a combination dry powder formulation of ethionamide and moxifloxacin HCl as this combination is synergistic against drug-resistant (Mtb). L-leucine (20% w/w) was added in the formulations to maximize the process yield. Moxifloxacin HCl and/or ethionamide powders with/without L-leucine were produced using a Buchi Mini Spray-dryer. A next generation impactor was used to determine the aerosolization efficiency. The powders were also characterized for other physicochemical properties and cytotoxicity. All the spray-dried powders were within the aerodynamic size range of <5.0 µm except ethionamide-only powder (6.0 µm). The combination powders with L-leucine aerosolized better (% fine particle fraction (FPF): 61.3 and 61.1 for ethionamide and moxifloxacin, respectively) than ethionamide-only (%FPF: 9.0) and moxifloxacin-only (%FPF: 30.8) powders. The combination powder particles were collapsed with wrinkled surfaces whereas moxifloxacin-only powders were spherical and smooth and ethionamide-only powders were angular-shaped flakes. The combination powders had low water content (<2.0%). All the powders were physically stable at 15% RH and 25 ± 2 °C during 1-month storage and tolerated by bronchial epithelial cell-lines up to 100 µg/ml. The improved aerosolization of the combination formulation may be helpful for the effective treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Further studies are required to understand the mechanisms for improved aerosolization and test the synergistic activity of the combination powder.
本研究旨在开发一种乙胺丁醇和盐酸莫西沙星的组合干粉制剂,因为这种组合对耐药结核分枝杆菌(Mtb)具有协同作用。在配方中加入 20%w/w 的 L-亮氨酸以最大限度地提高工艺收率。使用 Buchi Mini 喷雾干燥器生产含有/不含有 L-亮氨酸的盐酸莫西沙星和/或乙胺丁醇粉末。使用下一代撞击器来确定气溶胶化效率。还对粉末进行了其他物理化学性质和细胞毒性的表征。除乙胺丁醇粉末(6.0μm)外,所有喷雾干燥的粉末均处于<5.0μm 的空气动力学粒径范围内。含有 L-亮氨酸的组合粉末的气溶胶化效果更好(乙胺丁醇和莫西沙星的细颗粒分数(FPF)分别为 61.3%和 61.1%),而乙胺丁醇单独(FPF:9.0%)和莫西沙星单独(FPF:30.8%)的粉末。组合粉末的颗粒塌陷且表面起皱,而莫西沙星单独的粉末呈球形且光滑,乙胺丁醇单独的粉末呈角片状。组合粉末的含水量较低(<2.0%)。所有粉末在 1 个月的储存期内,在 15%RH 和 25±2°C 条件下保持物理稳定,并且在高达 100μg/ml 的浓度下,支气管上皮细胞系可以耐受。组合制剂的气溶胶化改善可能有助于有效治疗耐药性肺结核。需要进一步的研究来了解改善气溶胶化的机制,并测试组合粉末的协同活性。
