Abstract

The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions capable of regulating elastic fiber. The disclosure further relates to methods of treating elastic fiber-related disorders, such as COPD, by inhalation of low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 - 17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising:
 hyaluronic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the hyaluronic acid has a weight average molecular weight (M w ) of about 50 to about 1000 kDa; and   a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated as a solution of 0.01% to 0.06% w/v.   
     
     
         19 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated as a solution of 0.01% to 0.03% w/v. 
     
     
         20 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated as a solution of 0.01% w/v. 
     
     
         21 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid has a weight average molecular weight (M w ) of about 150 kDa. 
     
     
         22 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated for inhalation. 
     
     
         23 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 22 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated for nasal, intrapulmonary, intratracheal, intrabronchial, or intra-alveolar administration. 
     
     
         24 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 23 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated for intra-alveolar administration. 
     
     
         25 . The pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated for administration through a liquid spray device. 
     
     
         26 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 25 , wherein the liquid spray device is an aerosol device. 
     
     
         27 . The pharmaceutical composition of  claim 26 , wherein the aerosol device is a nebulizer or electrohydrodynamic aerosol device. 
     
     
         28 . An inhaler comprising the pharmaceutical composition of claim  1 . 
     
     
         29 . The inhaler of  claim 28 , wherein the inhaler is configured to deliver droplets with a size of about 2 μm to about 3 μm. 
     
     
         30 . The inhaler of  claim 28 , wherein the inhaler comprises 3 ml of the solution of 0.01% to 0.06% w/v of hyaluronic acid. 
     
     
         31 . The inhaler of  claim 28 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated as a solution of 0.01% to 0.03% w/v. 
     
     
         32 . The inhaler of  claim 28 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is formulated as a solution of 0.01% w/v. 
     
     
         33 . The inhaler of  claim 28 , wherein the inhaler is a liquid spray device. 
     
     
         34 . The inhaler of  claim 33 , wherein the liquid spray device is an aerosol device. 
     
     
         35 . The inhaler of  claim 34 , wherein the aerosol device is a nebulizer or electrohydrodynamic aerosol device.
