1 Indian Jurnal f Chemical Technlgy Vl., September 1995,pp Characterisatin f medicinal aersls J P Gupta, P V Jshi, P V N Nair & K S V Nambi Envirnmental Assessment Divisin, Bhabha Atmic Research Centre, Trmbay, Bmbay 4 85, India Fur cmmercially available medicinal aersl prducts in India have been assessed fr the aersl size distributin at tw different humidities using a ten stage cascape impactr device having a quartz crystal micrbalance system. An indigenusly made nebulizer in use in a city hspital has als been assessed fr its aersl efficiency. The size range is between.5 and 5 J.l,m. Mde in the aersl mass size distributin is between.4 and 1.6 J.l,m at 3% relative humidity (RH) and between.4 and 3. J.l,m at 85% RH fr three inhalers: the mde fr pwder inhaler is between 3. and 6.4 J.l,m at 3% RH and 5 J.l,m at 85% RH. The mde fr indiginus nebulizer is between.5 and.1 J.l,m. These results are discussed in the cntext f the depsitin f aersls in the human respiratry system. Recently, medicatin thrugh the respiratry tract in selected diseases has gained cnsiderable ppularity due t factrs such as easy applicatin, lack f side effects, ecnmic and efficient use f the medicine and better respnse. The medicine is intrduced int the respiratry system as an aersl by the use f a nebulizer r utilizing medicinal aersl packages cnsisting f medicine mixed with a prpellant gas and prvided with a cntrl valve fr dse inhalatin t a fixed quantity f aerslised medicine. Different aspects f the use f pharmaceutical aersls are being studied in varius labratries1-s allver the wrld f understand and imprve its perfrmance. Fr the effective treatment f respiratry tract ailments, it is essential t learn the mechanism and the degree f aersl penetratin in lungs and their absrptin. Data n size distributin and cncentratin f medicinal aersl are scarce and classified; the cmmercially available medicinal aersls need t be characterised t enable an estimatin f the site and efficiency f depsitin in the respiratry system. A few f the cmmn medicines in aers91 frm frequently used by physicians in' India have been analysed fr their particle size distributin. Depsitin in Respiratry Tract On the basis f the structure, air flw pattern, functin and sensitivity t depsiting particles, the respiratry tract has been divided int different regins, i.e.,.naspharyngeal (NP), Trachebrncheal (TB) and Pulmnary (P), fr mdelling f depsitin and clearance f airbrne particles 1 In a recent mdel, the NP regin has been extended t ral passage and it is called as Ex-trathracic (ET) regin. The TB regin is divided int brnchi (BB) and brnchiles (bb) regins and gas-exchange regin is called as alvelar interstitial (AI). The depsitin f the particles in respiratry tract takes place by impactin, sedimentatin and diffusin The impactin is the primary mechanism f depsitin in the large airways, sedimentatin is the mst efficient mechanism in the smaller airways and the alvelar regin, where air velcity is lw and airways dimensins are smali 3. Diffusinal depsitin is the predminant mechanism fr particles smaller than.5,urn in diameter and is gverned by gemetrical rather than aerdynamic size. The depsitin f inhaled particles als depends upn breathing rate, inhalatin vlume and the length f retentin f breath. The depsitin f the different size aersls in lung's three different cmpartments has been drawn graphically and shwn in Fig. 1. In this figure, terms AMID and AMAD are defined as activity median thermdy- 1. z Ger ET 51 ti <C.1 I&. u iii. a. I +--MAD. -. Fig. I-Reginal depsitin fractins f inhaled aersls

Experimental Prcedure A ten stage cascade impactr device using Quartz Crystal Micrbalance6 (OCM) system has been used t analyse the size distributin f medicinal aersls. Fig., shws a schematic f the experimental system used fr this analysis. The size seperatin f particles is dne by impactin The apparatus directly gives a spectrum giving mass cncentratin f particles in 1 stages; each stage is designated by the size fr which it is having 5% prbability f capture f particles f a specified mass density. Fur medicinal aersls generally used fr respiratry tract therapy have been analysed (Table 1). :Fr bvius reasns, their identities with the btained results are nt indicated. Three f these medicines are in liquid r semi-liquid frm filled in pressurised can with facility fr intrducing them int muth. While the furth ne is a pwder. The pwdered medicine cmes in capsules. The medicine is inhaled with the help f rtahaler. During aersl therapy the patient is asked t intrduce the aerslised medicine thrugh the muth piece f the canister and inhale slwly. As shwn in Fig., a tw litre flask fr, cllecting these aersls fr measurements has been used. Tw ets f readings have been taken with each medicine: (i) intrducing in a flflsk having rm air f 3% humidity, (ii) intrducing in the flask air which is usually misturised t abut 85% humidity7. The measurements at tw humidities have been carried ut t study variatin in size distributin due t change in RH f t inhaled air. Very large aersls quickly depsit in the neck f the flask and whatever remain suspended are measured by the QCM. The sampling time f these aersls fr analysis by the OCM depends upn the cncentratin and it varies frm 5 s t a few minutes. Other systems are als used fr generating the medicinal aersls fr inhalatin by patients. One such system was received frm a hspital at Jabalpur fr characterisatin f aersls generated frm its nebulizer. The system is shwn in the }?htgraph in Fig. 3. The nebulizer is perated by a pedalling pump and the medicines disslved in distilled water are kept in the nebulizer can. Aersls have als been prduced frm pure distilled water nly. The same flask shwn in Fig., was filled with aersls cming ut frm nebulizer and measured by OCM. Results and Discussin The results f these measurements are shwn in Figs 4-7. In Figs 4a, 5a, 6a and 7a, tw graphs f aersl size distributin are shwn: the lwer ne fr rm air (3% RH) in flask and the upper ne fr medicinal aersl after pumping them in the flask frm inhaler. The size distributin f aersl particles in rm air is nt the same in each case, because it depends upn several parameters f the rm air. Similarly in Figs 4b, 5b, 6b and 7b, the lwer graph shws the aersl size distributin in mist air (85% RH) in the flask and upper ne after pumping the medicinal aersls frm inhaler int the same mist flask.

Fig. 5b shws the spectrum f aersl size distributin and their mass cncentratin in the presence f misture. Misture clearly influences the medicinal aersls t frm large size particles. Frmatin f large size particles leads t the reductin in the mass cncentratin due t faster settling as can be seen frm the graph. The aersls frm this inhaler will easily reach trachebrnchial and pulmnary regins. Inhaler- releases,ug aerslised medicine in ne puff. The results f measurement f this medicine are shwn in Figs 6a and 6b. Mst f the aersls prduced by this inhaler are f very small size, mainly between.3 and.8,um. There are sme traces f large size particles als. Since these aersl particles are f smaller sizes and their cncentratin is als lw, there is nt much influence f misture n them, hwever the increase in the ttal cncentratin and slight change in their size spectrum can be nticed. The medicinal aersls frm this inhaler will quickly reach pulmnary regins. The furth medicine is a dry pwder filled in capsules. Each capsule cntains,ug f this pwder. This pwder in the capsule is inhaled with the help f rtahaler by the patient. The particles in the pwder are f very large size (> 5,um). Their size analysis is dne by sieving technique. The pwder was intrduced in the flask by blwing air ver the sample kept in a tube cnnected t the flask. A small number f particles which remained suspended in the flask are cllected and measured by QCM. The results are shwn in the Fig. 7a. This figure clearly shws that the particles smaller than 1.6,um are negligible. The majrity f the particles are between 3. and 1.5,um size. Frm Fig. 7b, it can be seen that the cncentratin f the particles gets mdified in the presence f misture with the frmatin f larger size particles. The particles smaller than 1.6,um are fund t be absent. The majrity f the aersl particles in the presence f the misture are larger than 5,um. It is likely that these particles might have frmed n the way twards QCM. Mst f the particles f this medicine will get struck t thrat and the left ver particles will get trapped in the trachea. The results f manually perated nebulizer using distilled water are shwn in Fig. 8. The aersls prduced frm this nebulizer are frm.3 t.,um diameter. Since the aersl prduced frm this system are inhaled thrugh nse, the large size ( 1.5,um) will get trapped in nse itself. A cnsiderable fractin f the fine aersl will reach trachebrnchial and pulmnaryregins easily. It is bserved that the paddling speed
