EPINEPHRINE NANOPARTICLES, METHODS OF FABRICATION THEREOF, AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF FOR TREATMENT OF CONDITIONS RESPONSIVE TO EPINEPHRINE

摘要

The invention provides a composition including epinephrine nanoparticles and methods for therapeutic use of the composition in the treatment of conditions responsive to epinephrine such as a cardiac event or an allergic reaction, particularly anaphylaxis. The epinephrine nanoparticles can be incorporated into orally-disintegrating and fast-disintegrating tablet pharmaceutical formulations and can significantly increase the sublingual bioavailability of epinephrine, and thereby reduce the epinephrine dose required. Additionally, the invention provides methods for fabrication of stabilized epinephrine nanoparticles for use in the described compositions.
