Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to aerosolizable formulations, methods of forming them, devices for forming them, and their methods of use.
Background Art
[0002] Electronic aerosol supply systems such as electronic cigarettes generally include a reservoir of a liquid to be vaporized, typically containing a flavoring or an active agent such as nicotine. When the user inhales on the device, a heater is activated to vaporize a small amount of the liquid, which is then inhaled by the user.
[0003] The use of electronic cigarettes in the UK has been increasing rapidly, and it is currently estimated that over one million people in the UK are using electronic cigarettes.
[0004] One challenge in providing such a system is to provide an aerosol that is inhaled from an aerosol supply device to provide an acceptable experience to the consumer. Some consumers may prefer an electronic cigarette that produces an aerosol that closely "imitates" the smoke inhaled from tobacco products such as cigarettes. The aerosol from an electronic cigarette and the smoke from tobacco products such as cigarettes provide the user with a complex series of flavors in the mouth, and, when nicotine is present, nicotine absorption in the mouth and throat, followed by nicotine absorption in the lungs. These various aspects are described by the user in terms of flavor, strength / quality, impact, harshness / mouthfeel, and reward. Flavorants contribute to some of these factors and are strongly associated with providing flavor in the mouth and desirable taste and smell, whether mimicking the taste and smell of a tobacco product or providing alternative flavorants. Ensuring the provision of specific tastes and smells is made more difficult by the volatile and heat-sensitive nature of some flavorants. Heating of flavorant components in an electronic cigarette can result in some flavorants degrading. This has several drawbacks. The flavorants present in the liquid may be lost, resulting in a reduced flavor experience for the user or the need to include excess flavorant in the liquid at additional cost. Further, if the e-liquid contains multiple flavorants and only some of these multiple flavorants are decomposed, this can negatively affect the taste and smell balance. Additionally, degraded flavorants can have an undesirable or "off-taste". Each of these factors and their balance can strongly contribute to the consumer acceptance of an electronic cigarette. Therefore, it is desirable for electronic cigarette manufacturers to provide means for optimizing the overall vaping experience.
[0005] A further challenge that such a system faces is the ongoing demand for harm reduction. The harm from cigarettes and electronic cigarette devices mainly originates from poisons. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the potential for the formation of poisons. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0023] As discussed in this specification, in one aspect, (a) at least one active agent, and (b) a carrier selected from water, propylene glycol, glycerol, and mixtures thereof, and (c) a modulator selected from TRPA1 agonists, TRPM8 agonists, TRPV1 agonists, TRPV3 agonists, TRPA1 antagonists, TRPA1 inhibitors, and combinations thereof, an aerosolizable formulation comprising is provided.
[0024] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, an "aerosolizable formulation" is a formulation that can generate an aerosol when energized, for example, by heating, irradiation, or any other method. An "aerosolizable formulation", i.e., an aerosol-generating formulation, may be in the form of a solid, liquid, or semi-solid (such as a gel), which may or may not contain an active substance and / or a flavorant.
[0025] The inventors have found that an advantageous system can be provided in which the aerosolized formulation contains a modulator that acts on specific receptors in the body. In particular, the inventors have found that the provision of a modulator selected from a TRPA1 agonist, a TRPM8 agonist, a TRPV1 agonist, a TRPV3 agonist, a TRPA1 antagonist, a TRPA1 inhibitor, and combinations thereof in an aerosol can improve the sensory properties of the aerosol upon inhalation. More specifically, the presence of this one or more modulators can reduce the unpleasantness of the aerosol upon inhalation.
[0026] For ease of reference, these and further aspects of the invention are discussed herein under the headings of the appropriate sections. However, the teachings under each section are not necessarily limited to each particular section.
[0027] Modulator As discussed herein, the present invention utilizes a modulator selected from a TRPA1 agonist, a TRPM8 agonist, a TRPV1 agonist, a TRPV3 agonist, a TRPA1 antagonist, a TRPA1 inhibitor, and combinations thereof. In one aspect, the modulator comprises at least one or more of a TRPA1 agonist, a TRPM8 agonist, a TRPV1 agonist, and a TRPV3 agonist. In one aspect, the modulator comprises at least a TRPA1 antagonist or a TRPA1 inhibitor.
[0028] In one aspect, the modulator comprises at least (i) one or more of a TRPM8 agonist, a TRPV1 agonist, and a TRPV3 agonist, and (ii) a TRPA1 antagonist or a TRPA1 inhibitor is included.
[0029] In one aspect, the modulator comprises at least (i) a TRPM8 agonist or a TRPV1 agonist, and (ii) a TRPA1 antagonist or a TRPA1 inhibitor.

In one aspect, the modulator comprises at least (i) a TRPM3 agonist or a TRPV8 agonist, and (ii) a TRPA1 antagonist or a TRPA1 inhibitor.
[0030] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that each modulator can bind to the appropriate receptor and act as the required agonist, antagonist, or inhibitor. When a potential modulator interacts with a receptor, the interaction has a given binding energy. The binding energy can be determined based on the following equation:
Equation
[0031] More specifically, the modulator and the receptor are accompanied by several molecular interactions (e.g., van der Waals, electrostatic binding, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobicity, etc.) and physicochemical complementarity between the receptor and the modulator. The protein structure file (receptor) can be retrieved from the Protein Data Bank and is described using an electron microscopy model. The details are as follows: TRPV1: PDB: 7LR0, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 7LR0, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb7lr0 / pdb; TRPV3: PDB: 6DVZ, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 6DVZ, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb6dvz / pdb TRPM8: PDB: 6NR2, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 6NR2, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb6nr2 / pdb TRPA1 inhibitor: 6WJ5, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 6WJ5, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb6wj5 / pdb TRPA1 antagonist: 7JUP, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 7JUP, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb7jup / pdb TRPA1 agonist: 6X2J, https: / / www.rcsb.org / structure / 6X2J, DOI: 10.2210 / pdb6X2J / pdb.
[0032] Receptor hydrogen atoms can be added to those atoms based on the incorporation module according to the appropriate hybridization geometry, adding partial charges and protonation states, followed by assigning bond orders and setting rotatable bonds of the receptor.
[0033] The active site pocket of a protein molecule is the site where potential modulators bind to the protein. To perform these experiments, one simulation box can be used to determine the search region of the modulator. This theoretical procedure can be carried out using a TRPA1 agonist grid box size with dimensions of X = 20 Å, Y = 20 Å, Z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 179.3 Å, Y = 146.94 Å, Z = 191.79 Å to evaluate modulator interactions. The TRPA1 inhibitor analysis can be carried out using a grid box size with dimensions of X = 20 Å, Y = 20 Å, Z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 156.75 Å, Y = 139.94 Å, Z = 185.30 Å. The TRPA1 antagonist can be carried out using a grid box size with dimensions of X = 20 Å, Y = 20 Å, Z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 62.58 Å, Y = 63.50 Å, Z = 86.13 Å. In the case of TRPV3, this can be carried out using a grid box size with dimensions of X = 20 Å, Y = 20 Å, Z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 88.45 Å, Y = 107.91 Å, Z = 122.14 Å. In the case of TPV1, this can be carried out using a grid box size with dimensions of x = 20 Å, y = 20 Å, z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 106.82 Å, Y = 82.40 Å, Z = 90.48 Å. In the case of TRPM8, this can be carried out using a grid box size with dimensions of X = 20 Å, Y = 20 Å, Z = 20 Å and center coordinates of X = 136.90 Å, Y = 106.92 Å, Z = 169.89 Å.
[0034] The Gibbs free energy of binding (FEB (Kcal / mol)) for the receptor-modulator complex structure can be calculated using a scoring function that approximates the chemical potential (ΔG 結合 ).
[0035] The docking free energy of binding (FEB dock ) is the ΔG for all docking poses of the formed complex (protein-modulator) 結合It includes the internal steric energy of a given protein and modulator that is defined by a value and can be expressed as the sum of the individual molecular mechanics terms of the standard chemical potential.
Number
[0036] A more negative value (kcal / mol) of FEB means a higher affinity between the receptor and a different type of modulator substrate. The docking simulation results show that if the Gibbs free energy of the formed complex is ΔG 結合 ≧0 kcal / mol, it can be classified as energetically unfavorable, indicating that the binding affinity is extremely low or completely absent. Otherwise, it is classified as having medium to high docking affinity.
[0037] The docking simulation results show that if the Gibbs free energy of the formed complex is ΔG 結合 ≧0 kcal / mol, it can be classified as energetically unfavorable, indicating that the binding affinity is extremely low or completely absent. In summary, the FEB threshold is 0 kcal / mol. A FEB value greater than 0 means there is no affinity for the receptor. When FEB is less than 0 kcal / mol, it begins to have an affinity for the receptor. The lowest FEB value means a better affinity for the receptor.

[0040] Ab initio modeling shows that the above compound binds to the agonist sites of both TRPA1 and TRPV1 (FEB within ±2.0 kcal / mol compared to the reference ligand)dock variation).
[0041] The sampled cannabinoids show improved affinity for both TRPA1 and TRPV1 compared to nicotine and favorable interactions with key amino acid residues, indicating that the binding site may be the same as that of nicotine.
[0042] In one aspect, a TRPA1 antagonist or inhibitor has a binding affinity for the TRPA1 receptor that is stronger than the binding affinity for each of one or more of a TRPM8 agonist, a TRPV1 agonist, and a TRPV3 agonist for their respective receptors. In one aspect, a TRPA1 antagonist or inhibitor has a binding affinity for the TRPA1 receptor that is stronger than the binding affinity of a TRPM8 agonist for the TRPM8 receptor.

In one aspect, the modulator utilized in the present invention is a single compound. In one aspect, each modulator of one or more of TRPM1, TRPV3, TRPV8, and TRPA1 is a distinct compound.

[0072] In some embodiments, the polysaccharide gelling agent is a cellulose derivative. Without wishing to be bound by theory, such gelling agents are thought not to react with calcium ions to form crosslinks.
[0073] In some embodiments, the polysaccharide gelling agent is alginate.
[0074] In some embodiments, the binder is uncrosslinked. The absence of crosslinking in the gelling agent can facilitate more rapid delivery of cannabinoids (and any additional active substances and / or fragrances) from the aerosolizable formulation.
[0075] Examples of cellulose binders (also referred to herein as cellulose gelling agents or cellulose derivatives) include, but are not limited to, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP).

[0083] In some embodiments, the binder comprises (or is) alginate, and optionally, the alginate is present in the aerosolizable formulation in an amount of about 1 to 40 wt%, such as about 5 to 25 wt% (calculated on a dry weight basis) of the aerosolizable formulation.
[0084] In some embodiments, the alginate is the only binder present in the aerosolizable formulation.
[0085] In other embodiments, the binder comprises alginate and at least one additional binder such as pectin.

[0087] Filler The aerosolizable formulation may further include a filler. The use of a filler can help reduce the tackiness of the aerosolizable formulation, for example, when a high level of aerosol-forming agent material is present.
[0088] Suitably, the aerosolizable formulation comprises from about 10% to about 60% by weight of a binder and any optional filler.
[0089] In some embodiments, the aerosolizable formulation may comprise less than about 60% by weight, such as less than about 50% by weight, such as from about 1% to 60% by weight, or from 1% to 50% by weight, or from 5% to 40% by weight, or from 5% to 30% by weight, or from 10% to 20% by weight of a filler.
[0090] In other embodiments, the aerosolizable formulation comprises more than 20% by weight, suitably more than 30% by weight, or more than 40% by weight of a filler.

In some embodiments, the fibrous organic filler material may be wood pulp, hemp fiber, cellulose or cellulose derivative. In some embodiments, the fibrous filler is wood pulp. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that including a fibrous filler in the aerosolizable formulation can increase the tensile strength of the material. This can be particularly effective in examples where the aerosolizable formulation is provided as a sheet, such as when the aerosolizable formulation sheet circumscribes a rod of the aerosolizable material.

[0105] In one aspect, there is provided a non-combustible aerosol supply system comprising a consumable of the present invention and a non-combustible aerosol supply device, wherein the non-combustible aerosol supply device comprises an aerosol generating device arranged to generate an aerosol from the consumable when the consumable is used with the non-combustible aerosol supply device.
[0106] In one aspect, there is provided the use of an aerosolizable formulation or aerosol generating composition as defined herein in a consumable for use with a non-combustible aerosol supply device, wherein the non-combustible aerosol supply device comprises an aerosol generating device arranged to generate an aerosol from the consumable when the consumable is used with the non-combustible aerosol supply device.
[0107] Aerosol former material The aerosol former material may include one or more components capable of forming an aerosol.
[0108] Suitably, the aerosolizable formulation can contain from about 5 wt% to about 30 wt%, such as about 7 wt%, 10 wt%, or 12 wt% to about 15 wt%, 17 wt%, 20 wt%, or 25 wt% of an aerosol-forming agent material (all calculated on a dry weight basis). In some embodiments, the aerosolizable formulation can contain from about 5 to 25 wt% of an aerosol-forming agent material. In some embodiments, the aerosolizable formulation can contain from about 5 to 20 wt%, such as from about 5 to 15 wt% of an aerosol-forming agent material. In some embodiments, the aerosolizable formulation can contain from about 10 to 20 wt% of an aerosol-forming agent material, such as from about 10 to 15 wt% of an aerosol-forming agent material.
[0109] In some embodiments, the aerosol-forming agent material can include one or more of glycerol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, erythritol, meso-erythritol, ethyl vanillate, ethyl laurate, diethyl suberate, triethyl citrate, triacetin, a diacetin mixture, benzyl benzoate, benzyl phenylacetate, tributyrin, lauryl acetate, lauric acid, myristic acid, and propylene carbonate.

[0112] The aerosol-forming agent material can act as a plasticizer. If the content of the plasticizer is too high, the aerosolizable formulation may absorb water, resulting in a material that does not provide a proper consumer experience during use. If the plasticizer content is too low, the aerosolizable formulation may be brittle and can be easily broken. The plasticizer content specified herein provides the flexibility of the aerosolizable formulation that enables winding a sheet of the aerosolizable formulation or aerosol-generating composition around a bobbin, which is useful for the manufacture of aerosol-generating articles (consumables).
[0113] Activator Aerosolizable formulations, aerosol formulations, and aerosolized formulations contain an active agent. "Active agent" means a drug that has a biological effect, such as a sensory and / or physiological effect, on a subject when the aerosol is inhaled. In one aspect, "active agent" means a drug that has a physiological effect on a subject when the aerosol is inhaled. In some cases, the active agent can be a fragrance. The active agent can be selected, for example, from nutraceuticals, nootropics, psychotropics, and sensates. The active substance may be naturally occurring or obtained synthetically. The active agent can include, for example, nicotine, caffeine, taurine, theine, vitamins such as B6 or B12 or C, melatonin, cannabinoids, or their constituents, derivatives, or combinations. The active agent can include one or more constituents, derivatives, or extracts of tobacco, cannabis, or another plant substance. In some embodiments, the active agent includes caffeine, melatonin, or vitamin B12. The one or more active agents can be selected from nicotine, plant substances, and mixtures thereof. The one or more active agents can be synthetic or of natural origin. The active agent can be an extract derived from a plant substance such as a plant of the Solanaceae family. In one aspect, the active agent is at least nicotine. In one aspect, the active agent consists of nicotine and / or its salts.
[0114] As described herein, the active agent can include one or more components, derivatives or extracts of cannabis, such as one or more cannabinoids or terpenes. Cannabinoids are a class of natural or synthetic chemical compounds that act on intracellular cannabinoid receptors (i.e., CB1 and CB2) in the brain to suppress the release of neurotransmitters. Cannabinoids are cyclic molecules that exhibit certain properties, such as the ability to easily cross the blood-brain barrier. Cannabinoids can be naturally occurring ones from plants such as cannabis (phytocannabinoids), ones from animals (endocannabinoids), or ones artificially manufactured (synthetic cannabinoids). Cannabis species express at least 85 different phytocannabinoids, which include cannabigerol, cannabinchromene, cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabinol and cannabidivarin, and other cannabinoids, such as cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinchromene (CBC), cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Δ 6a,10a -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 6a,10a -THC), Δ 6a(7) -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 6a(7) -THC), Δ 8 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 8 -THC), Δ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9 -THC), Δ 10 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 10 -THC), Δ 9,11 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9,11It can be divided into subclasses including cannabinol (CBN), cannabidiol (CBDL), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabivarin (CBV), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidi varin (CBDV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), cannabigerovarin (CBGV), cannabigerol monomethyl ether (CBGM), cannabinolic acid, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabinol propyl variant (CBNV), cannabinotriol (CBO), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), and tetrahydrocannabivarinic acid (THCV A), which contain (-THC).
[0115] The legal status of specific cannabinoids varies by jurisdiction, but certain active ingredients, such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabinol (CBN), are being considered for use in a variety of applications, such as formulations for use in aerosol delivery systems. However, it has been found that the stability of cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabinol (CBN) changes depending on specific environmental conditions, such as exposure to air or light, or fluctuations in temperature and pH. This can lead to unintended harmful consequences.
[0116] For example, CBD can oxidize and decompose when exposed to light and / or air to form cannabidiol hydroxyquinone (CBDHQ or HU-331) and isomeric or functional derivatives of cannabidiol hydroxyquinone (CBDHQ or HU-331). Furthermore, CBD responds to fluctuations in temperature and / or pH to form Δ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9-THC). As a result, the accuracy of the specific cannabinoid content and / or concentration can vary widely in the formulation, but regulated and restricted cannabinoids are produced unintentionally, which may render the product illegal or ineligible in certain jurisdictions. Thus, it is desirable to provide a formulation that maintains a high degree of purity during manufacture and storage and then prevents the loss or degradation of one or more cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or cannabinol (CBN) in the formulation.
[0117] In addition to these stability requirements for cannabinoid formulations, consumer feedback on CBD formulations used in aerosol delivery systems (otherwise referred to as CBD aerosolizable materials) has, in some cases, been negative with respect to the sensory experience. The natural taste of CBD is often described as "earthy" or "skunky," and the addition of one or more flavoring agents has been used previously to mask this taste, but this has not always been successful. In particular, consumers have indicated that flavored CBD aerosolizable materials can still have a bitter or off-note taste and that the inhalation of CBD aerosols can be unpleasant and unsatisfactory. Users may even develop an aversion to the taste, aroma, and / or other sensations experienced during use and decide to avoid all CBD aerosolizable materials. It is known that the negative sensory experiences associated with CBD can be due to TRPA1 agonist activation. Thus, antagonists and / or inhibitors of TRPA1 may be suitable for reducing the negative physiological experiences associated with aerosolizable materials containing CBD. This knowledge can be extended to other cannabinoids. The modulators of the present invention may improve these negative sensory experiences.
[0118] In one embodiment, the cannabinoid is a synthetic cannabinoid. In one embodiment, the cannabinoid is added to the material in the form of an isolate. The isolate is an extract from a plant such as a cannabis plant. The cannabinoid of interest is typically present in high purity, for example, greater than 95%, greater than 96%, greater than 97%, greater than 98%, or about 99% purity.

[0125] As described herein, the active agent can include or be derived from one or more phytochemicals, or components, derivatives, or extracts thereof.
[0126] In some embodiments, the active agent includes or is derived from one or more phytochemicals, or components, derivatives, or extracts thereof, and the phytochemical is tobacco.
[0127] In some embodiments, the active agent includes or is derived from one or more phytochemicals, or components, derivatives, or extracts thereof, and the phytochemical is selected from eucalyptus, star anise, cocoa, and hemp.
[0128] In some embodiments, the active agent comprises, or is derived from, one or more botanical substances, or components, derivatives, or extracts thereof, and the botanical substances are selected from rooibos and fennel.
[0129] The aerosolizable material comprises one or more specified concentrations of a sensory agent. As used interchangeably herein, the terms “sensory compound” or “sensory agent” mean a compound that elicits a sensation mediated by the user's trigeminal nerve. The use of sensory compounds is well documented in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and the sensations elicited include a cooling sensation, a warming sensation, and a tingling sensation. When used in an aerosolizable material, such sensations should be experienced in the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and / or by the user's skin. The present disclosure is not limited in this regard.
[0130] In one embodiment, the one or more sensory agents are selected from cooling agents, warming agents, or tingling agents. The terms “cooling,” “warming,” and “tingling” are well understood in the art.
[0131] Cooling agents, warming agents, and tingling agents are each typically organic small molecules that deliver a cooling, warming, or tingling sensation to the user upon contact with the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and / or skin. This sensation is included in the category of chemesthesis and occurs because the organic small molecule activates specific receptors in the skin and / or mucosa. Thus, the experience of a cooling, warming, and / or tingling sensation depends on the user's chemesthesis. Chemesthesis is typically mediated by the trigeminal nerve and is an element of the somatosensory system, and is distinguished from olfaction (sense of smell) and taste, and is therefore also referred to in the art as “general chemesthesis” or trigeminal chemesthesis.
[0132] In one embodiment, the one or more sensation-inducing agents include a cooling agent. The cooling agent is typically not menthol. In one embodiment, the one or more sensation-inducing agents include a cooling agent selected from the group consisting of N-ethyl-5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl) cyclohexanecarboxamide, ethyl 2-(5-methyl-2-propan-2-ylcyclohexanecarbonylamino) acetate, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-p-menthanecarboxamide, N-2,3-trimethyl-2-propan-2-ylbutanamide, N-(2-pyridin-2-yl) ethyl) menthylcarboxamide, menthone-1,2-glycerol ketal, menthyl lactate, isopulegol, 3-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol, and menthyl succinate.
[0133] In one embodiment, the one or more sensation-inducing agents include a warming agent or a stinging agent. In one embodiment, the warming agent or stinging agent is selected from the group consisting of vanilloids, sanshool, piperine, allyl isothiocyanate, cinnamyl phenylpropyl compounds, ethyl esters, and combinations thereof, or the warming agent or stinging agent is an extract from at least one of Japanese horseradish oil, ginger oil, black pepper, long pepper, Chinese prickly ash, cayenne pepper, Uzazi or mustard oil.

[0162] The relevant amounts of nicotine present in the formulation in the protonated form are specified herein. These amounts can be readily calculated by one skilled in the art. Nicotine, 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)pyridine, is a dibasic base with a pKa of 3.12 for the pyridine ring and 8.02 for the pyrrolidine ring and can exist in pH-dependent protonated (mono- and di-) forms and non-protonated (free base) forms with different bioavailabilities.
[0163]
Chemical formula
[0164] The distribution of protonated and non-protonated nicotine changes with various pH increases.
[0165]
Chemical formula
[0166] The proportion of non-protonated nicotine is dominant at high pH levels, and a decrease in pH indicates an increase in the proportion of protonated nicotine (mono- or di- depending on pH). If the relative proportion of protonated nicotine and the total amount of nicotine in the sample are known, the absolute amount of protonated nicotine can be calculated.
[0167] The relative proportion of protonated nicotine in the formulation can be calculated by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation that describes pH as a derivation of the acid dissociation constant formula, and is widely used in chemical and biological systems. Consider the following equilibrium:
Number
[0168] The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this equilibrium is as follows:
Number
[0169] Where [B] is the amount of non-protonated nicotine (i.e., free base), [BH+] is the amount of protonated nicotine (i.e., conjugate acid), and pKa is the reference pKa value for the pyrrolidine ring nitrogen of nicotine (pKa = 8.02). The relative proportion of protonated nicotine can be derived as follows from the alpha value of non-protonated nicotine calculated from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
Number
[0170] The determination of the pKa values of the nicotine formulations was carried out using the basic method described in “Spectroscopic investigations into the acid-base properties of nicotine at different temperatures”, Peter M. Clayton, Carl A. Vas, Tam T. T. Bui, Alex F. Drake and Kevin McAdam, Anal. Methods, 2013, 5, 81 - 88.

[0201] The method of the present invention may include additional steps either before, after, or during one or more of the recited steps.
[0202] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the following non-limiting examples.
[0203] Examples Example 1 A product developer test (PDT) (sensory test) on an e-liquid using a mixture of up to three TRP receptor modulators (alpha-ionone, caryophyllene oxide, and benzyl cinnamate) was conducted using a sequential monadic scale (1-9) to evaluate the sensory performance of the TRP receptor modulators for non-protonated and protonated products. In doing so, 12 participants were asked to evaluate the irritation, impact, flavor intensity, and overall likability of the provided products. The results for each of these evaluations are shown in FIGS. 1-4.
[0204] From the data, the inventors concluded that products containing the TRP receptor modulator showed a decrease in irritation. This was particularly pronounced with the TRP receptor modulator compared to the non-protonated product, and furthermore, the flavor intensity and impact were increased compared to the current protonated product (0.6 benzoic acid, currently commercially available).
[0205] Example 2 Test design Quantitative in-home placement consumer evaluations were completed with a balanced set of 108 independent participants with respect to age and gender. The participants used the products at home and completed a questionnaire to evaluate each product. This test was administered by an independent third-party consumer research agency and conducted according to industry standards.
[0206] Formulation Prototypes were prepared to evaluate the effect of materials identified as active against the displeasure receptor. The active agents were caryophyllene oxide and benzyl cinnamate. The same device was used for both samples. The same instructions were provided. There were benchmark and test samples.
[0207] The only difference was related to the presence of the two active agents in the liquid, as shown in Table 1. The benchmark product was an e-liquid formulation containing propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine, and flavor. The test sample contained the same four components and furthermore contained benzyl cinnamate and caryophyllene oxide.
[0208] [Table 4]
[0209] Consumer evaluation The consumers, whom the inventors asked to test each product over a one-day period, then completed an online quantitative questionnaire to evaluate the product. Two different scales were used: 1. Size Scale: A 7 - point scale used to evaluate the sensory level from low (1) to high (7). 2. Just - Right Scale: Evaluates how close the sensation is to being "just right". This is a 5 - point scale.
[0210] Size Scale and Results The size scale poses a question and then provides a 1 - to - 7 - point scale. The scale requires that rankings be provided based on the following question: "Think about the e - liquid vaped today. How would you rate each of the following characteristics as low or high?"
[0211] Then, rank the throat discomfort from 1 [low] to 7 [high].
[0212] Provide the results in Tables 2 and 3.

[0214]
Table 6
[0215] Just - Right Scale and Results The evaluation scale used is shown below to measure how "just right" the sample is with respect to the "level of irritation during the vaping session". The possible evaluations were as follows: - 2 Much less than desired - 1 Slightly less than desired 0 Just right + 1 Slightly more than desired + 2 Much more than desired
