Multi-Layer Nicotine Composition for Fast and Extended Release
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing nicotine delivery methods, such as lozenges and tablets, lack alternatives for providing a modified release profile and diverse organoleptic properties for therapeutic purposes.
Innovation Solution
A multi-layered nicotine-containing pharmaceutical composition comprising a core formulation surrounded by one or more layers with different organoleptic properties, including formulations with fast and extended release profiles, such as dissolvable, meltable, pastille, and chewable layers, to provide a unique delivery experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single formulation is used in nicotine delivery products, then the product structure is simple, but the release profile and organoleptic properties are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The nicotine delivery product is divided into multiple distinct formulations (first formulation and second formulation) with different properties. Each formulation can provide different release profiles (fast-release vs. extended-release) and organoleptic characteristics, allowing the product to offer versatile delivery options without requiring multiple separate products
Solution Approach 2:
One formulation is placed within or adjacent to another formulation in a multi-layered structure. The first formulation and second formulation are positioned in spatial relationship (e.g., core and coating, or adjacent layers) to enable simultaneous or sequential delivery of nicotine with different release profiles and sensory properties from a single integrated product
2Speed
If fast-release formulation is used, then immediate nicotine delivery is achieved, but duration of action is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines fast-release formulation and extended-release formulation into a single nicotine delivery product. The fast-release component provides immediate nicotine delivery to satisfy acute cravings, while the extended-release component simultaneously provides prolonged nicotine supply to maintain therapeutic levels over time, thus merging the benefits of both release profiles in one product

AI summary
The invention provides a multi-layered pharmaceutical composition comprising two or more formulations with varying properties. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provide combinations of different organoleptic properties within the same product. In certain embodiment, these combinations allow for a modified release profile of active ingredients as the user enjoys the pharmaceutical composition. The invention further provides methods for making and using the pharmaceutical composition.
