The patent application (Publication Number: US20240016734A1) describes a method for administering a pharmaceutical composition using an oral film containing a polymeric matrix, a pharmaceutically active component (such as epinephrine or its prodrug), and an adrenergic receptor interacter. The film is placed in the oral mucosa for a specific residence time, allowing the delivery of the active component. The residence time can vary from 0 to 4 minutes, with corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters like AUC (area under the curve) for different time intervals.
Furthermore, the method includes variations in the composition, such as the inclusion of multiple adrenergic receptor interacters, different types of adrenergic receptor interacters like aromatic compounds or phytoextracts, and absorbant components like amorphous silicon dioxide. The polymeric matrix can consist of various polymers like polyethylene oxide or cellulosic polymers. The method also covers the administration of epinephrine through a swallowable composition, including a prodrug of epinephrine, to deliver the active component through the digestive tract. Different parameters like Tmax (time to maximum concentration) and AUC are specified for this method as well, along with variations in residence time and absorption characteristics based on food intake. Overall, the patent application outlines a detailed method for administering epinephrine using innovative oral film technology with specific pharmacokinetic parameters and composition variations.
