[0086] 2. Preparation process
[0087] (1) A first set of preparation processes (process 1)
[0088] The cannabinoid nano-micelle solution is prepared by feeding according to the proportion in formulae 1-6, specifically as follows:
[0089] a. swelling: 100g of raw materials are taken according to the formula in Table 1, and added into 800 g of water for swelling for 2 h;
[0090] b. emulsifying: the obtained mixture after swelling is sheared for 30 min by using a high-shear dispersing emulsifier at 50 Hz; and
[0091] c. stirring: the temperature of the emulsification system is controlled at 30° C., and stirring is performed for 48 h to obtain a clear transparent nano-micelle solution with a particle size of less than 500 nm.

[0093] (2) A second set of preparation processes (process 2)
[0094] The cannabinoid nano-micelle solution is prepared by feeding according to the proportion in formulae 1-6, specifically as follows:
[0095] a. melting: TPGS 1000, Poloxamer 188, polyurethane 4000, PEG 2000-PAA 2000, PEG 2000-PASP 1000, PEG 1000-PLAG 3000, PEG 1000-PCL 2000, PEG 3400-PLA/PTX 4000 and PEG 5000-b-PS 5000 are added according to the formulae 1-6 in Table 1, and melted at 70° C., cannabinoid and a monomer thereof are added after melting, and uniform dispersing is performed to prepare a liquid 1;
[0096] b. dissolving: according to the formulas 1-6 in Table 1, mannitol, sorbitol, citric acid, tartaric acid, cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, EDTA-2Na, trehalose, leucine and lactose are dissolved with 8 times of water to prepare a liquid 2; and
[0097] c. mixing and dissolving: the liquid “1” and the liquid “2” are mixed and dissolved at 40° C., and slow stirring is performed for 12 h until a particle size of the solution is less than 500 nm.
[0098] The quality comparison of the cannabinoid nano-micelle solution obtained by the above preparation process is shown in the following table.
TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 3 Quality comparison of cannabinoid nano-micelle solution Quality of corresponding solution Effective Effective Solution component ingredient Solution particle Solution wrapping transfer Formula clarity size color rate % rate % 1 Clear and 0-500 nm Colourless 100% 97% transparent 2 Clear and 0-500 nm Colourless 100% 97% transparent 3 Milky white 0-500 nm White 90% 96% liquid 4 Clear and 0-500 nm Colourless 100% 97% transparent 5 Clear and 0-500 nm Colourless 100% 97% transparent 6 Milky white 0-500 nm White 90% 96% liquid
[0099] It can be seen from the results in Table 2 and Table 3 that under the same formula, the transfer rate of the cannabinoid nano-micelle prepared by the first set of processes is higher than that of the cannabinoid nano-micelle prepared by the second set of processes, which may be due to the melting step adopted in the second set of processes, which makes cannabinoid degrade.

Hygroscopicity: a certain amount of dry powder is weighed, and placed in a test tube (with an outer diameter of 50 mm and a height of 15 mm), the test tube which is opened is placed for 24 h in an environment with a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 70%, the test tube is weighed and a moisture absorption weight gain is calculated. 2. Solubility: 0.2 g of dry drug powder is taken, and put into a test tube, 5 mL of pure water is added, oscillating is performed, and the dissolution condition of the dry drug powder is observed. If the dry drug powder can be dissolved to obtain a clear solution, the drug has good solubility and can be used as a pulmonary inhalation preparation, and if the dry drug powder cannot be dissolved, the drug has poor water solubility and is not suitable for being used as a pulmonary inhalation preparation. 3. Surface morphology: the contact points among spherical particles are minimum, the dispersibility is best, and more plane contact points exist among particles in the shapes of flakes, needles and the like, so that the flowability is relatively poor. 4. Particle size distribution: represented by d (0.9) μm, and the particle size of 90% of particles is less than this particle size. The particles of 1-5 μm can enter the lung through the respiratory airflow, and a good lung deposition rate is achieved. 5. In-vitro deposition rate determination: the in-vitro deposition rate determination is carried out by using NGI at 60 L/min, including an emptying rate % and an effective deposition rate %, the emptying rate of a solid powder inhalation preparation is not lower than 90%, and the deposition rate is greater than 30%.
[0113] Result analysis: through the comparative analysis of several drying modes from the aspects of process controllability, powder hygroscopicity, solubility, surface morphology, particle size distribution, in-vitro deposition rate determination and other indicators, it is determined that atomization freeze drying has more advantages in inhalation preparation than other powders, and freeze-dried powder is more suitable for the preparation of other solid preparations.
