PARTIKULÄRER WIRKSTOFFTRÄGER FÜR DIE PULMONALE APPLIKATION

摘要

The invention relates to the preparation of a particulate active agent support and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof with a depot effect. The biocompatible, particulate active agent support, which can be prepared in a dry form, is partly or wholly produced from linear water-insoluble polysaccharides, preferably poly(1,4- alpha -D-glucan), in a homogenous standard size, preferably by means of a biotransformatic process, and has the ability to form clusters and/or agglomerates. The advantages of the invention are particularly useful in dry powder inhalation applications.
