An orally inhalable formulation is provided comprising nicotine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a monohydric alcohol, menthol or a menthol-containing essential oil and a propellant. The formulation may be provided in a pressurized metered dose inhaler.

The disclosure relates to a method for treating a viral pulmonary infection (e.g., COVID-19 infection), the method comprising the step of delivering a composition comprising at least one bronchodilator or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one pulmonary surfactant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the airway of a subject in need of treatment for the pulmonary viral infection.

A pharmaceutical inhalation aerosol and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing glycopyrronium bromide coarse powder with indacaterol fine powder, or glycopyrronium bromide coarse powder with indacaterol coarse powder, or glycopyrronium bromide fine powder with indacaterol coarse powder in proportion to obtain a glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol mixture; (2) micronizing, by a crushing device under pressure, the glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol mixture prepared in step (1) to obtain a micronized glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol mixture; and (3) adding the micronized glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol mixture prepared in step (2) to an aluminum can, performing valve sealing, and filling with a propellant. In the glycopyrronium bromide/indacaterol compound inhalation aerosol prepared by the method, the effective deposition rate of glycopyrronium bromide is significantly improved, and the degree of co-deposition of glycopyrronium bromide and indacaterol is high. The prepared inhalation aerosol is convenient to carry and low in price, has higher medication compliance compared with an inhalation powder aerosol, and is more widely used than a nebulizer.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for treating and delivering medicinal formulations using an inhaler. The composition includes a space filled flocculated suspension having one or more flocculated particles of one or more active agents and a hydrofluoroalkane propellant. A portion of the one or more flocculated particles is templated by the formation of hydrofluoroalkane droplets upon atomization and the templated floc compacts upon the evaporation of the hydrofluoroalkane propellant to form a porous particle for deep lung delivery.

Treprostinil can be administered using a metered dose inhaler. Such administration provides a greater degree of autonomy to patients. Also disclosed are kits that include a metered dose inhaler containing a pharmaceutical formulation containing treprostinil.

A method of treating COPD, Asthma, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Edema, Interstitial Lung Disease, Sarcoidosis, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and PAH in a patient. One embodiment includes administering a vasodilator prostacyclin analogue, such as Beraprost or Iloprost, separately or together with a form of Diethylcarbamazine or Zileuton. Other embodiments may include fluvoxamine. The vasodilator prostacyclin analogue is inhaled. Diethylcarbamazine/Zileuton is inhaled into the lung or administered orally or intravenously. Other embodiments include fluvoxamine. This treatment reduces the progression of the disease, reduces life-threatening exacerbations, and improves the quality of life. The treatment is also for COPD patients with eosinophilia who are incompletely treated with steroids and addresses steroid-unresponsive disease components of COPD including pulmonary hypertension and intravascular inflammation and bronchiectasis. The treatment may include a PDE4 inhibitor and current treatments with existing steroids and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists and/or muscarinic receptor blockers. The treatment is also for ARDS and COVID-19.

The invention provides a series of conformationally stable kinase inhibitors, and methods of using the kinase inhibitors. The effect of atropisomerism on kinase selectivity was assessed, finding improved selectivity compared to rapidly interconverting parent compounds.

Disclosed herein are compositions including diphenhydramine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a liquid vehicle. The compositions may be administered intranasally to patients in need of diphenhydramine. The compositions provide increase plasma and brain concentrations relative to orally administered compositions, but without the limitations associated with intravenously administered compositions

A pharmaceutical composition is described. The composition comprises: (i) a drug component comprising at least one antiviral compound that is suitable for treating viruses that cause adverse effects in the lungs; and (ii) a propellant. The composition can be delivered to the lungs using a metered dose inhaler (MDI).

This disclosure relates to methods, uses, combinations, pharmaceutical compositions, combinations for use, and pharmaceutical compositions for use useful for treating cognitive impairment associated with central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In particular, it relates to the use of inhibitors of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), in combination with GABA.sub.A α5 receptor agonists, in treating cognitive impairment associated with central nervous system (CNS) disorders in a subject in need or at risk thereof, including, without limitation, subjects having or at risk for age-related cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), amnestic MCI (aMCI), age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), age related cognitive decline (ARCD), dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), prodromal AD, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer-therapy-related cognitive impairment, mental retardation, Parkinson's disease, autism, compulsive behavior, and substance addiction. Further, the disclosure relates to methods, uses, combinations, pharmaceutical compositions, combinations for use, and pharmaceutical compositions for use useful for treating cognitive impairment associated with brain cancer or for treating brain cancer itself in a subject in need thereof. Additionally, the disclosure relates to methods, uses, combinations, pharmaceutical compositions, combinations for use, and pharmaceutical compositions for use useful for treating Parkinson's disease psychosis in a subject in need thereof.
