Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of drugs has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of both lung and systemic diseases. Compared to other drug delivery routes, inhalation offers numerous advantages including high targeting, fewer side effects, and a huge surface area for drug absorption. However, the deposition of drugs in the lungs can be limited by lung defence mechanisms such as mucociliary and macrophages' clearance. Among the delivery devices, dry powder inhalers represent the optimal choice due to their stability, ease of use, and absence of propellants. In the last decades, several bottom-up techniques have emerged over traditional milling to produce inhalable powders. Among these techniques, the most employed ones are spray drying, supercritical fluid technology, spray freeze-drying, and thin film freezing. Inhalable dry powders can be constituted by micronized drugs attached to a coarse carrier (e.g., lactose) or drugs embedded into a micro- or nanoparticle. Particulate-based formulations are commonly composed of polymeric micro- and nanoparticles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, nanocrystals, extracellular vesicles, and inorganic nanoparticles. Moreover, engineered formulations including large porous particles, swellable microparticles, nano-in-microparticles, and effervescent nanoparticles have been developed. Particle engineering has also a crucial role in tuning the physical-chemical properties of both carrier-based and carrier-free inhalable powders. This approach can increase powder flowability, deposition, and targeting by customising particle surface features.

Reconstituted dry powder formulations of ZnO-adjuvanted ovalbumin induce equivalent antigen specific antibodies but lower T cell responses than ovalbumin adjuvanted with Alhydrogel® or cationic adjuvant formulation 01 (CAF®01). Int J Pharm 2023; 648:123581.

Abstract
Most licensed human vaccines are based on liquid dosage forms but have poor storage stability and require continuous and expensive cold-chain storage. In contrast, the use of solid vaccine dosage forms produced by for example spray drying, extends shelf life and eliminates the need for a cold chain. Zinc oxide (ZnO)-based nanoparticles display immunomodulatory properties, but their adjuvant effect as a dry powder formulation is unknown. Here, we show that reconstituted dry powder formulations of ZnO particles containing the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) induce antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell and humoral responses. By systematically varying the ratio between ZnO and mannitol during spray drying, we manufactured dry powder formulations of OVA-containing ZnO particles that displayed: (i) a spherical or wrinkled surface morphology, (ii) an aerodynamic diameter and particle size distribution optimal for deep lung deposition, and (iii) aerosolization properties suitable for lung delivery. Reconstituted dry powder formulations of ZnO particles were well-tolerated by Calu-3 lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, almost equivalent OVA-specific serum antibody responses were stimulated by reconstituted ZnO particles, OVA adjuvanted with Alhydrogel®, and OVA adjuvanted with the cationic adjuvant formulation 01 (CAF®01). However, reconstituted dry powder ZnO particles and OVA adjuvanted with Alhydrogel® induced significantly lower OVA-specific CD8+CD44+ T-cell responses in the spleen than OVA adjuvanted with CAF®01. Similarly, reconstituted dry powder ZnO particles activated significantly lower percentages of follicular helper T cells and germinal center B cells in the draining lymph nodes than OVA adjuvanted with CAF®01. Overall, our results show that reconstituted dry powder formulations of ZnO nanoparticles can induce antigen-specific antibodies and can be used in vaccines to enhance antigen-specific humoral immune responses against subunit protein antigens.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. In addition to new innovative approaches, practical strategies that improve the efficacy of already available drugs are urgently needed. In this study, an inhalable dry powder formulation is used to repurpose flubendazole, a poorly soluble anthelmintic drug with potential against a variety of cancer lineages. Flubendazole nanocrystals were obtained through nanoprecipitation, and dry powder was produced by spray drying. Through fractional factorial design, the spray drying parameters were optimized and the impact of formulation on aerolization properties was clarified. The loading limitations were clarified through response surface methodology, and a 15% flubendazole loading was feasible through the addition of 20% L-leucine, leading to a flubendazole particle size of 388.6 nm, median mass aerodynamic diameter of 2.9 μm, 50.3% FPF, emitted dose of 83.2% and triple the initial solubility. Although the cytotoxicity of this formulation in A549 cells was limited, the formulation showed a synergistic effect when associated with paclitaxel, leading to a surprising 1000-fold reduction in the IC50. Compared to 3 cycles of paclitaxel alone, a 3-cycle model combined treatment increased the threshold of cytotoxicity by 25% for the same dose. Our study suggests, for the first time, that orally inhaled flubendazole nanocrystals show high potential as adjuvants to increase cytotoxic agents' potency and reduce adverse effects.

Abstract
Natural ingredients have many applications in modern medicine and pharmaceutical projects. However, they often have low solubility, poor chemical stability, and low bioavailability in vivo. Spray drying technology can overcome these challenges by enhancing the properties of natural ingredients. Moreover, drug delivery systems can be flexibly designed to optimize the performance of natural ingredients. Among the various drug delivery systems, dry powder inhalation (DPI) has attracted much attention in pharmaceutical research. Therefore, this review will focus on the spray drying of natural ingredients for DPI and discuss their synthesis and application.

Abstract
The surface of particles is the hotspot of interaction with their environment and is therefore a major target for particle engineering. Particles with tailored coatings are greatly desired for a range of different applications. Amorphous coatings applied via film coating or microencapsulation have frequently been described in the pharmaceutical context and usually result in homogeneous surfaces. In the present study we have been exploring the feasibility of coating core particles with crystalline substances, a matter that has rarely been investigated. The expansion of the range of possible coating materials to include small organic molecules enables completely new product properties to be achieved. We present an approach based on temperature cycles performed in a tubular crystallizer to result in engineered crystalline coatings on excipient core particles. By manipulating the process settings and by the choice of coating substance we are able to tailor surface roughness, topography as well as surface chemistry. Benefits of our approach are demonstrated by using resulting particles as carriers in dry-powder-inhaler formulations. Depending on the resulting surface chemistry and surface roughness, coated carrier particles show varying fitness for delivering the model API salbutamol sulphate to the lung.

Abstract
Surface roughness of carrier particles can impact dry powder inhaler (DPI) performance. There are opposing views on the effect of roughness on DPI performance. Hence, a systematic approach is needed to modify carrier surfaces and evaluate the impact on drug delivery. Carrier particle surfaces were modified by fluid bed coating with saturated lactose containing micronized lactose of different sizes (2, 5 and 8 μm) and coated to different levels (20, 40, 60 and 80%). Their drug delivery performance was assessed by the fine particle fraction (FPF). Roughness parameters, mean arithmetic roughness (Ra) and arithmetic mean height (Sa), of the carrier particles, were also evaluated using optical profilometry and scanning laser microscopy. Generally, particles of higher Ra had higher FPF. Higher Sa resulted in higher FPF only for particles with 60 and 80% coat levels. Reduced contact surface area between the drug particle and rougher carrier particle resulted in easier drug detachment during aerosolization. The 5 µm micronized lactose produced optimal carrier particles with respect to FPF and surface roughness. The study highlighted that with the ideal particles for surface roughening and coating level, surface roughening could be efficiently achieved by fluid bed coating for superior DPI performance.

Abstract
In pharmaceutical applications, the porous particles of organic compounds can improve the efficiency of drug delivery, for example into the pulmonary system. We report on the successful preparation of macroporous spherical granules of mannitol using a spray-drying process using polystyrene (PS) beads of ~340 nm diameter as a sacrificial templating agent. An FDA-approved solvent (ethyl acetate) was used to dissolve the PS beads. A combination of infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry analysis proved the efficiency of the etching process, provided that enough PS beads were exposed at the granule surface and formed an interconnected network. Using a lab-scale spray dryer and a constant concentration of PS beads, we observed similar granule sizes (~1-3 microns) and different porosity distributions for the mannitol/PS mass ratio ranging from 10:1 to 1:2. When transferred to a pilot-scale spray dryer, the 1:1 mannitol/PS composition resulted in different distributions of granule size and porosity depending on the atomization configuration (two-fluid or rotary nozzle). In all cases, the presence of PS beads in the spray-drying feedstock was found to favor the formation of the α mannitol polymorph and to lead to a small decrease in the mannitol decomposition temperature when heating in an inert atmosphere.

Abstract
This review examines the effects of particle properties on drug-carrier interactions in the preparation of a dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation, including appropriate mixing technology. The interactive effects of carrier properties on DPI formulation performance make it difficult to establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between any one carrier property and its effect on the performance of a DPI formulation. Alpha lactose monohydrate remains the most widely used carrier for DPI formulations. The physicochemical properties of α-lactose monohydrate particles, such as particle size, shape and solid form, are profoundly influenced by the method of production. Therefore, wide variations in these properties are inevitable. In this review, the role of surface energetics in the optimisation of dry powder inhaler formulations is considered in lactose carrier selection. Several useful lactose particle modification methods are discussed as well as the use of fine lactose and force control agents in formulation development. It is concluded that where these have been investigated, the empirical nature of the studies does not permit early formulation prediction of product performance, rather they only allow the evaluation of final formulation quality. The potential to leverage particle interaction dynamics through the use of an experimental design utilising quantifiable lactose particle properties and critical quality attributes, e.g., surface energetics, is explored, particularly with respect to when a Quality-by-Design approach has been used in optimisation.

Abstract
d-mannitol is a common six-carbon sugar alcohol, which is widely used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Polymorphism is defined as the ability of materials to crystallize into different crystal structures. It has been reported for a long time that d-mannitol has three polymorphs: β, δ, and α. These different polymorphs have unique physicochemical properties, thus affecting the industrial applications of d-mannitol. In this review, we firstly introduced the characteristics of different d-mannitol polymorphs, e.g., crystal structure, morphology, molecular conformational energy, stability, solubility and the analytical techniques of d-mannitol polymorphisms. Then, we described the different strategies for the preparation of d-mannitol crystals and focused on the polymorphic control of d-mannitol crystals in the products. Furthermore, the factors of the formation of different d-mannitol polymorphisms were summarized. Finally, the application of mannitol polymorphism was summarized. The purpose of this paper is to provide new ideas for a more personalized design of d-mannitol for various applications, especially as a pharmaceutical excipient. Meanwhile, the theoretical overview on polymorphic transformation of d-mannitol may shed some light on the crystal design study of other polycrystalline materials.

Abstract
Lignosulfonate (LS), one of the byproducts of the paper and pulp industry, was mainly used as an energy source in the last decade until the valorization of lignin through different functionalization methods grew in importance. Polymerization using multicopper oxidase laccase (from the Myceliophthora thermophila fungus) is one of such methods, which not only enhances properties such as hydrophobicity, flame retardancy, and bonding properties but can also be used for food and possesses pharmaceutical-like antimicrobial properties and aesthetic features of materials. Appropriate downstream processing methods are needed to produce solids that allow the preservation of particle morphology, a vital factor for the valorization process. In this work, an optimization of the enzymatic polymerization via spray-drying of LS was investigated. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the drying process, reduce the polymerization time, and maximize the dried mass yield. Particles formed showed a concave morphology and enhanced solubility while the temperature sensitivity of spray-drying protected the phenol functionalities beneficial for polymerization. Using the optimized parameters, a yield of 65% in a polymerization time of only 13 min was obtained. The experimental values were found to be in agreement with the predicted values of the factors (R 2: 95.2% and p-value: 0.0001), indicating the suitability of the model in predicting polymerization time and yield of the spray-drying process.

Abstract
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) had been widely used in lung diseases on account of direct pulmonary delivery, good drug stability and satisfactory patient compliance. However, an indistinct understanding of pulmonary delivery processes (PDPs) hindered the development of DPIs. Most current evaluation methods explored the PDPs with over-simplified models, leading to uncompleted investigations of the whole or partial PDPs. In the present research, an innovative modular process analysis platform (MPAP) was applied to investigate the detailed mechanisms of each PDP of DPIs with different carrier particle sizes (CPS). The MPAP was composed of a laser particle size analyzer, an inhaler device, an artificial throat and a pre-separator, to investigate the fluidization and dispersion, transportation, detachment and deposition process of DPIs. The release profiles of drug, drug aggregation and carrier were monitored in real-time. The influence of CPS on PDPs and corresponding mechanisms were explored. The powder properties of the carriers were investigated by the optical profiler and Freeman Technology four powder rheometer. The next generation impactor was employed to explore the aerosolization performance of DPIs. The novel MPAP was successfully applied in exploring the comprehensive mechanism of PDPs, which had enormous potential to be used to investigate and develop DPIs.

Abstract
Pulmonary drug administration has long been used for local or systemic treatment due to several advantages. Dry powder inhalers emerge as the most promising due to efficiency, ecologic, and drug stability concerns. Coarse lactose-carrier is still the gold standard when inhalation powders are developed. Despite some efforts to produce new types of powders, the lung drug deposition is still poorly controlled, which will ultimately impact therapeutic effectiveness. In this study, we developed "engineered-inhalation powders" using the spray-drying technique. Multiple carbohydrates excipients were binary mixed and combined with two active pharmaceutical ingredients for asthma therapy (budesonide and formoterol). Particle morphology, from spherical to deflated shapes, was characterized by the number and the depth of dimples measured from SEM images. We define a new characteristic deflation ratio ξ as the product between the number of dimples and their depth. Six different powders having opposite morphologies have been selected and we have demonstrated a linear correlation between the fine particle fraction and the deflation ratio of produced powders. Overall, we showed first that the morphology of inhalable powder can be finely tuned by spray-drying technique when excipients varied. Secondly, we developed stable inhalation powders that simultaneously induced high fine particle fractions (>40%) for two drugs due to their deflated surface. The stability has been evaluated for up to 2 months at room temperature.

Abstract
Inhalation of Calcium Phosphate nanoparticles (CaPs) has recently unmasked the potential of this nanomedicine for a respiratory lung-to-heart drug delivery targeting the myocardial cells. In this work, we investigated the development of a novel highly respirable dry powder embedding crystalline CaPs. Mannitol was selected as water soluble matrix excipient for constructing respirable dry microparticles by spray drying technique. A Quality by Design approach was applied for understanding the effect of the feed composition and spraying feed rate on typical quality attributes of inhalation powders. The in vitro aerodynamic behaviour of powders was evaluated using a medium resistance device. The inner structure and morphology of generated microparticles were also studied. The 1:4 ratio of CaPs/mannitol led to the generation of hollow microparticles, with the best aerodynamic performance. After microparticle dissolution, the released nanoparticles kept their original size.

Abstract
PURPOSE Traditionally, α-lactose monohydrate is the carrier of choice in dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations. Nonetheless, other sugars, such as D-mannitol, have emerged as potential alternatives. Herein, we explored different particle engineering processes to produce D-mannitol carriers for inhaled delivery. METHODS Wet-sieving and spray-congealing were employed as innovative techniques to evaluate the impact of engineering on the particle properties of D-mannitol. To that end, the resulting powders were characterized concerning their solid-state, micromeritics and flowability. Afterwards, the engineered carrier particles were blended with inhalable size beclomethasone dipropionate to form low dose (1 wt%) DPI formulations. The in vitro aerosolization performance was evaluated using the NEXThaler®, a reservoir multi-dose device. RESULTS Wet-sieving generated D-mannitol particles with a narrow particle size distribution and spray-congealing free-flowing spherical particles. The more uniform pumice particles with deep voids and clefts of wet-sieved D-mannitol (Pearl300_WS) were beneficial to drug aerosolization, only when used in combination with a ternary agent (10 wt% of 'Preblend'). When compared to the starting material, the spray-congealed D-mannitol has shown to be promising in terms of the relative increase of the fine particle fraction of the drug (around 100%), when used without the addition of ternary agents. CONCLUSIONS The wet-sieving process and the related aerosolization performance are strongly dependent on the topography and structure of the starting material. Spray-congealing, has shown to be a potential process for generating smooth spherical particles of D-mannitol that enhance the in vitro aerosolization performance in binary blends of the carrier with a low drug dose.

Abstract
Spray drying of Chitosan solutions to prepare microparticles either using pilot or industrial scale spray dryer is a complex process; tracking morphological changes and obtaining drying kinetics of a single droplet would be very difficult. The acoustic levitator being a non-intrusive method is a useful experimental apparatus that enables particle/droplet suspension in the gaseous medium and capable of mimicking the drying process in a spray dryer. The drying of chitosan aqueous solutions into solid particles was investigated. The prediction of the size and drying kinetics until the formation of the solid structure was performed in an acoustic levitator. Studying the drying of single droplets is crucial for revealing the influence of the drying process parameters on the formation of dried particles. Droplets with initial chitosan concentration (10, 20, and 30 mg/ml) were investigated at different air-drying temperatures. A Reaction Engineering Approach (REA) model was developed and compared with the experimental drying curves, a very well agreement was found between the drying experiments and the REA model with a relative error of about 3% between the initial droplet mass and predicted droplet mass by the REA model.

Abstract
This study investigated the particle adhesion mechanism in a capsule of dry powder inhaler (DPI) based on a combined computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) approach. In this study, the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory was selected as the adhesion force model. The simulation results corroborated the experimental results-numerous particles remained on the outlet side of the capsule, while a few particles remained on the inlet side. In the computer simulation, the modeled particles were placed in a capsule. They were quickly dispersed to both sides of the capsule, by air fed from one side of the capsule, and delivered from the air inlet side to the outlet side of the capsule. It was confirmed that vortex flows were seen at the outlet side of the capsule, which, however, were not seen at the inlet side. Numerous collisions were observed at the outlet side, while very few collisions were observed at the inlet side. These results suggested that the vortex flows were crucial to reduce the amount of residual particles in the capsule. The original capsule was then modified to enhance the vortex flow in the area, where many particles were found remaining. The modified capsule reduced the number of residual particles compared to the original capsule. This investigation suggests that the CFD-DEM approach can be a great tool for understanding the particle adhesion mechanism and improving the delivery efficiency of DPIs.

Abstract
Dry powder inhalation (DPI) has attracted much attention as a treatment for respiratory diseases owing to the large effective absorption area in a human respiratory system. Understanding the drug particle motion in the respiratory system and the deposition behavior is necessary to improve the efficiency of DPI. We conducted computer simulations using a model coupling a discrete element method and a computational fluid dynamics method (DEM-CFD) to evaluate the particle deposition in human respiratory system. A simple artificial respiratory model was developed, which numerically investigated the effect of particle properties and inhalation patterns on the particle deposition behavior. The DEM-CFD simulations demonstrated that the smaller- and lower-density particles showed higher reachability into the simple respiratory model, and the particle arrival ratio to the deep region strongly depended on the aerodynamic diameter. The particle arrival ratio can be described as an exponential function of the aerodynamic diameter. Furthermore, the exponential relationship between the particle reachability into the depth of the simple respiratory model and the aerodynamic diameter predicted the particle aerodynamic diameter based on the required reachability. The particle shape also had an impact on the particle deposition behavior. The rod-like particles with a larger aspect ratio indicated higher reachability into the depth of the simple respiratory model. This was attributed to the high velocity motion of the particles whose long axis was in the direction of the deep region.

Abstract
Dry powder inhalers have attracted more interest over the years in every aspect related to them. Interestingly, when focusing on the effects of particle morphology of the active or carrier (excipient), it is generally regarded particle size and shape to influence drug availability of aerosolized particles. However, to date, few studies have examined the effect of texture, i.e., roughness, on this relationship. The main objective of the present work is to gain a closer understanding of the influence of carrier morphology on the aerosolization performance of dry powder inhaler formulations. Image analysis and microscopy were used to visualize the aerosolization process. It is considered that the scale of morphological features on the surface of the carrier particles is responsible for the dispersion of the powder formulation, separation of the drug/carrier, and entrainment from a dry powder inhaler. Thus, for this study, the carrier particles of different surface roughness were mixed with micronized salbutamol sulphate. Aerosolization in vitro testing was used to evaluate the performance. The results indicate a connection between the qualitative surface roughness of coarse carriers and aerosolization performance during powder dispersibility. This investigation demonstrated that indeed, powder dispersion, a dynamic process, is influenced by the scale of the carrier morphology.

Abstract
The addition of matrix formers within a formulation provides a means for enhancing the redispersibility of nanoparticles (NPs) enabling them to retain their advantageous properties imparted onto them by their sub-micron size. In this work, NPs were isolated in the solid state via spray drying with a range of sugars. The processed powders were characterized, establishing that itraconazole (ITR) nanostructured microparticles (NMPs) spray dried in the presence of mannitol and trehalose had favorable redispersibility confirmed by dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Solid-state analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of NMPs based on mannitol and the amorphous character of trehalose-based NMPs. The NMPs powders were compacted at a range of pressures, producing tablets with high tensile strength without compromising their disintegration time. A greater amount of ITR was solubilized from trehalose NMPs compared to the mannitol-based compacts in 0.1 M HCl, showing a promise for enhanced in vivo activity. Overall, as trehalose exhibited superior carrier properties for ITR NMPs, this type of excipient included in the formulation warrants careful consideration. The structured approach to matrix former selection and tabletting studies can reduce the amount of material and time required for testing in the initial stages of product development.

Abstract
Dry powder inhalers are medical devices used to deliver powder formulations of active pharmaceutical ingredients via oral inhalation to the lungs. Drug particles, from a biological perspective, should reach the targeted site, dissolve and permeate through the epithelial cell layer in order to deliver a therapeutic effect. However, drug particle attributes that lead to a biological activity are not always consistent with the technical requirements necessary for formulation design. For example, small cohesive drug particles may interact with neighbouring particles, resulting in large aggregates or even agglomerates that show poor flowability, solubility and permeability. To circumvent these hurdles, most dry powder inhalers currently on the market are carrier-based formulations. These formulations comprise drug particles, which are blended with larger carrier particles that need to detach again from the carrier during inhalation. Apart from blending process parameters, inhaler type used and patient's inspiratory force, drug detachment strongly depends on the drug and carrier particle characteristics such as size, shape, solid-state and morphology as well as their interdependency. This review discusses critical particle characteristics. We consider size of the drug (1-5 µm in order to reach the lung), solid-state (crystalline to guarantee stability versus amorphous to improve dissolution), shape (spherical drug particles to avoid macrophage clearance) and surface morphology of the carrier (regular shaped smooth or nano-rough carrier surfaces for improved drug detachment.) that need to be considered in dry powder inhaler development taking into account the lung as biological barrier.

Effect of USP Induction Ports, Glass Sampling Apparatus, and Inhaler Device Resistance on Aerodynamic Patterns of Fluticasone Propionate-Loaded Engineered Mannitol Microparticles. AAPS PharmSciTech 2019; 20:197. [PMID: 31123855 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-019-1409-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The present investigation is to study the effect of two different induction ports (IP), i.e., USP IP and USP-modified IP equipped with andersen cascade impactor on in vitro aerodynamic performance along with the impact of USP-modified glass sampling apparatus on delivered dose uniformity of fluticasone propionate (FP) dry powder inhaler (DPI). FP DPI was fabricated by spray drying technique using engineered mannitol microparticles (EMP) with different force controlling agents, i.e., leucine and magnesium stearate. Additionally, commercially available two DPI inhaler devices namely Handihaler® and Breezhaler® were used to aerosolize the FP blends. Spherical smooth surface of EMP showed good powder flow properties and acceptable percentage content uniformity (> 95%). Amounts of FP deposited in cascade assembly using USP-modified IP with the Breezhaler® device was significantly higher (1.32-fold) as compared with the Handihaler® device. Moreover, USP-modified IP showed better deposition as compared with USP IP. Additionally, both inhaler devices showed a satisfactory delivered dose (> 105%) for FP using modified glass sampling apparatus at a flow rate of 60 L/min for 2 s. It was interesting to note that not only formulation properties but also IP geometry and device resistance have significant impact on DPI deposition pattern. This study is a first detailed account of aerodynamic performance of FP using USP-modified IP and USP-modified glass sampling apparatus. Thus, it can be of potential importance for both the academic and industry perspective.

Abstract
The surface structure of crystalline particles affects the functionality of the particles in drug delivery. Prediction of the final structure of particles that crystallize easily within the spray drying process is of interests for many applications. A theoretical framework was developed for the prediction of crystal structure precipitating on the surface of the particle. This model was based on the dimensionless Damkohler number (Da), to be an indicator of final particle morphology. Timescales of evaporation and reaction were required for calculation of the Damkohler number. The modified evaporation time scale was estimated based on the time that is available for the crystal to precipitate after supersaturation. The reaction time scale was estimated based on the time scale for induction time. Mannitol was produced under different processing conditions in order to validate the theoretical model. Results showed for the high Damkohler numbers, the surface structure of the particle was rough, while smaller Damkohler numbers led to relatively smooth particle surfaces. Additionally, although the beta polymorph was dominant in all of the experiments, alpha polymorph was precipitated in the experiments with a large Damkohler number. The theoretical framework developed will be a useful predictive tool to guide the manipulation of particle crystallization in spray dryers.

Abstract
Suitable nanometer roughness favors interactions between drugs and carriers, and it is a promising approach to enhance the aerosolization performance of carrier-based dry powder inhalers (DPIs). In this study, by altering the molecular migration rates, chitosan-based binary carriers (CBBCs) with nanometer roughness were fabricated for DPIs. Comprehensive physicochemical characterizations were conducted to elucidate the formation mechanism of the CBBCs. It was hypothesized that different constituent ratios in the formulations would result in different assembling of the particles and diverse roughness scales. The fine particle fractions (FPF, approximately 40~60%) of nanometer roughness CBBC-based DPI formulations were satisfactory, demonstrating the enhancement of the in vitro aerodynamic performance. The positive correlation (R2 = 0.9883) between the nanometer roughness and FPF was revealed, and the surface roughness of 20 nm might achieve the best aerosolization performance. CBBCs (optimal formulations) showed no difference in cytotoxicity on A549 and Calu-3 cells (p > 0.05). Additionally, the increased Cmax and AUC0-8h of the formulation with the nanometer roughness (p < 0.05) were observed in pharmacokinetic studies, which resulted from the improved in vivo aerosolization performance. In summary, the CBBCs were a prospective tool to improve the in vitro and in vivo aerosolization performance of DPIs. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
In this study, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP)-loaded poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles were prepared for pulmonary administration. CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles were prepared using solid-in-oil-in-water (s/o/w) emulsion solvent evaporation method, and the effects of various formulation parameters on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were investigated. PCL nanoparticles showed spherical shapes with particle sizes around 143-489 nm. Encapsulation efficiency was found to be very low because of water-solubility properties of CIP. However, the surface modification of nanoparticles with chitosan caused an increase in the encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles. At drug release study, CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles showed initial burst effect for 4 h and then continuously released for 72 h. Nanocomposite microparticles containing CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles were prepared freeze-drying method and mannitol was used as carrier material. Tapped density and MMADt results show that nanocomposite microparticles have suitable aerodynamic properties for pulmonary administration. Antimicrobial efficacy investigations showed that CIP-encapsulated PCL nanoparticles and nanocomposite microparticles inhibited the growth of bacteria. Also, when the antimicrobial activity of the nanoparticles at the beginning and at the sixth month was examined, it was found that the structure of the particulate system was still preserved. These results indicated that nanocomposite microparticles containing CIP-loaded PCL nanoparticles can be used for pulmonary delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hygroscopicity of raffinose carrier for dry powder inhaler (DPI) was the main obstacle for its further application. Hygroscopicity-induced agglomeration would cause deterioration of aerosolization performance of raffinose, undermining the delivery efficiency. METHODS Cyclodextrin-raffinose binary carriers (CRBCs) were produced by spray-drying so as to surmount the above issue. Physicochemical attributes and formation mechanism of CRBCs were explored in detail. The flow property of CRBCs was examined by FT4 Powder Rheometer. Hygroscopicity of CRBCs was elucidated by dynamic vapor sorption study. Aerosolization performance was evaluated by in vitro deposition profile and in vivo pharmacokinetic profile of CRBC based DPI formulations. RESULTS The optimal formulation of CRBC (R4) was proven to possess anti-hygroscopicity and aerosolization performance enhancement properties. Concisely, the moisture uptake of R4 was c.a. 5% which was far lower than spray-dried raffinose (R0, c.a. 65%). R4 exhibited a high fine particle fraction value of 70.56 ± 0.61% and it was 3.75-fold against R0. The pulmonary and plasmatic bioavailability of R4 were significantly higher than R0 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION CRBC with anti-hygroscopicity and aerosolization performance enhancement properties was a promising approach for pulmonary drug delivery, which could provide new possibilities to the application of hygroscopic carriers for DPI.

Abstract
Inhalation therapy has strong history of more than 4000 years and it is well recognized around the globe within every culture. In early days, inhalation therapy was designed for treatment of local disorders such as asthma and other pulmonary diseases. Almost all inhalation products composed a simple formulation of a carrier, usually α-lactose monohydrate orderly mixed with micronized therapeutic agent. Most of these formulations lacked satisfactory pulmonary deposition and dispersion. Thus, various alternative carrier's molecules and powder processing techniques are increasingly investigated to achieve suitable aerodynamic performance. In view of this fact, more suitable and economic alternative carrier's molecules with advanced formulation strategies are discussed in the present review. Furthermore, major advances, challenges, and the future perspective are discussed.

Abstract
Direct compaction (DC) is the preferred choice for tablet manufacturing; however, only less than 20% of active pharmaceutical ingredients could be compacted via DC as its high requirement for functional properties of materials. Materials with improper functionalities could lead to serious troubles during DC manufacturing, such as content non-uniformity, sticking, and capping, all of which profoundly affect the properties of final products and, thus, severely restrict the practical application of DC. With undoubted importance, these seem to be unexpectedly ignored by reviewers but not researchers in terms of many original research articles published recently. Therefore, as an informative supplement and update, this review mainly focused on trouble-shooting and application situation of DC, together with several newly reported materials.
