Treatment of dry eye disease by activating trigeminal nerve
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11911380B2) discloses a method for activating the trigeminal nerve, anterior ethmoidal nerve, and nasolacrimal reflex in individuals by administering varenicline through local nasal cavity spray. The method involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of varenicline, ranging from 5 to 1000 micrograms, in a liquid pharmaceutical formulation containing varenicline or its salt and inactive ingredients. The concentration of varenicline in the formulation falls between 0.1 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL, ensuring targeted activation without significant psychoactive side effects or vomiting.
Furthermore, the patent outlines the selective binding of varenicline to peripheral nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, emphasizing the precise dosage range of 5 to 500 micrograms for effective activation. The pharmaceutical formulation includes a phosphate buffer or phosphate citrate buffer with a pH range of 5.0 to 7.4, ensuring stability and compatibility for nasal administration. The method aims to activate these nerves and reflexes without causing undesirable side effects, offering a novel approach to therapeutic interventions involving varenicline administration through nasal spray for targeted trigeminal nerve activation.
