CONTENTS:
Pulmonary drug delivery is primarily used to treat conditions of the airways, delivering locally acting drugs directly to their site of action.
Delivery of drugs directly to their site of action reduces the dose needed to produce a pharmacological effect.
As the lung is able to absorb both water and oil into the tissue, this is not a restriction of pulmonary delivery
Carriers like micro particles, nanoparticles, liposomes can be used in lung targeting

INTRODUCTION
shortest average pathlength will show greatest peripheral deposition.
In nose breathing particles are deposited in the nose and pharynx, Hence for pulmonary drug delivery, the aerosols are inhaled via the mouth.
Increasing the inspiratory flow rate (IFR) will enhance deposition

PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS PARTICLE DEPOSITION IN THE AIRWAYS
Lung morphology
Oral vs. nasal breathing
Inspiratory flow rate
volume of air inhaled in one breath, the “Tidal volume”.
Increasing the time between the end of inspiration and the start of exhalation increases the time for sedimentation to occur.
Bronchial obstruction result in localized deposition in the larger airways of the TB region.

Pharmaceutical factors affecting aerosol deposition
Size and Density
Less than 5 µm sutable & densities of 0.4 g cm−3 are efficiently deposited in the lungs.
Shape
•Particles which are non-spherical will have at least one physical dimension which is greater than the aerodynamic diameter.Particle shape should be uniform.
Density
Large porous particles with physical diameters of 20 μm and
Physical Stability
DPIs may be hygroscopic and,99.5% RH 37 0C greater chance of being prematurely deposited.

The fate of particles in the airways
Mucus barrier
The first barrier• The thickness of the mucus layer;• Mucus viscosity• Molecular size of the drug—for THE binding molecules to mucus glycoproteins via electrostatic interactions increase contact time
Alveolar clearance
The uptake of particles by alveolar macrophages is a fairly rapid process clearance
9
Mucociliary clearance
The mucus not exist as a stagnant layer but is constantly being propelled along the TB airways by the rhythmic beating of cilia on epithelial cells,Drug entrapped in the mucus will be removed from the TB region via mucociliary clearance within a few hours after being deposited.

Factors affecting the absorption and metabolism of drugs in the airways
Area & Absorption barrier thickness
The surface area of the airways is approximately 140 m2, greater surface area the absorption of the drug.
Blood supply
•The lung receives 100% of the cardiac output via a network of fine capillaries. •This rich blood supply which promotes rapid gaseous exchange is also beneficial for systemic drug delivery.

Mechanism of Pulmonary drug absorption
Drug
Transcellular Transport
Lipophilic Drug Absorbed
Paracellular Transport
Hydrophilic Drug Absorbed

ADVANTAGES
• low dose need due to targeted action because of that reduced systemic side-effects
• Rapid onset of action;
• Avoidance of gastrointestinal upset;
• Avoidance of intestinal and hepatic first-pass metabolism.
• Nasal drug delivery is attractive not because it is BETTER than injectable•It used when a drug is poorly absorbed orally e.g. Na cromoglicate.
13
DISADVANTAGES
• Various factors affect the reproducibility of drug delivery to the lungs, including physiological and pharmaceutical (device, formulation) variables.
• limited absorbtion due to physical barrier of the mucus layer and the interactions of drugs with mucus.
• Mucociliary clearance reduces the retention time of drugs within the lungs.

CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR PULMONARY DRUG DELIVERY
Currently there are three principal categories of aerosol generator employed in inhalation therapy:
• Nebulizer;• Pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pmdi);• Dry powder inhaler (DPI).
15
Air-jet nebulizers
Nebulizer Defination ---
Drug solution is drawn from the reservoir up the capillary as a result of the region of negative pressure created by the compressedair passing over the open end of the capillary (Venturi effect).
16
Ultrasonic nebulizers
These nebulizers rely on a transducer made from a piezo-electric crystal which produces high frequency sound waves in the liquid.The waves give rise to vertical capillaries of liquid (“fountains”) which, when the amplitude of the energy applied is sufficient, break up to provide an aerosol.

18
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs)
For successful delivery of drug particles into the lung requires that particle size should be controlled to <5 μm
The problems associated with particle size is to use a carrier particle such as lactose. (usually 20–100 μm)
Spinhaler
For Asthma: B-adrenergic agents eg.salbutamol,terbutaline Anticholinergics eg. Ipratropium Br Pulmonary Infections:(Pulmonary aspargillosis) Antibiotics eg. Erythromycin & amphotericine-BCardiovascular agents: Nifedipine,NitroglycerineAntiviral agents: Rebavirin,zenamivir
19
DRUGS GIVEN BY PULMONARY ROUTE:
PDDS used becouse of limition associsted with the conventional treatment of verious chronic disease
In this DDS directly act to lung and get systemic and local effect
Modification in PDDS keep going on to modify release profile to over come limitation associate Physicochemical barrier
