AI Technical Summary
Existing liposomal compositions for treprostinil suffer from burst release, leading to insoluble drug precipitates and side effects, and lack an extended release profile for sustained therapeutic efficacy.
A pharmaceutical composition with a specific treprostinil-to-phospholipid ratio of 0.035 or higher, utilizing a pH gradient between the internal and external medium, reduces burst release and extends treprostinil release from 2 to 72 hours, minimizing side effects in the upper respiratory tract.
The composition achieves controlled release of treprostinil, reducing side effects and extending therapeutic efficacy by minimizing burst release and maintaining effective drug levels for up to 72 hours, thereby reducing dosing frequency.
