CIRCUMFERENTIAL AEROSOL DEVICE FOR DELIVERING DRUGS TO OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM AND BRAIN

摘要

Methods of delivering a pharmaceutical compounds directly to the olfactory epithelium of a mammal by providing a pharmaceutical aerosol suspension comprising an aerosol and the pharmaceutical compound; aerosolizing the suspension to generate a stream of droplets, the stream having a rotational component, and, delivering the droplets directly to the olfactory epithelium, wherein at least 15% of the droplets are delivered directly to the olfactory deposition. The pharmaceutical compound may be encapsulated within a liposome nanoparticle.
