Published: August 2008

A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) assay is established for the determination of tiotropium in human plasma using benzyltriethylammonium chloride as the internal standard (IS). After being treated with C(18) cartridges, plasma samples are separated by HPLC on a reversed-phase C(18) column with a mobile phase of 40mM ammonium acetate buffer-methanol (56:44, v/v). Tiotropium is determined in a single-quadrupole MS. HPLC-ESI-MS is performed in the selected ion monitoring mode using target ions at m/z 392.0 for tiotropium and m/z 192.3 for the IS. The calibration curve is linear over the range 1.5-30 pg/mL. The intra- and inter-assay variability values are less than 10.1% and 13.6%, respectively. The mean plasma extraction recovery of tiotropium is 92.3 +/- 5.0%. The method has been successfully applied to studying the pharmacokinetics of tiotropium in healthy Chinese volunteers.

The availability of drugs for stable COPD treatment in China: a cross-sectional survey.

NPJ Prim Care Respir Med

January 2025

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, China.

This survey aimed to investigate the availability of drugs for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment in Chinese hospitals and to determine whether drug availability significantly varied among hospitals with different characteristics. A well-constructed questionnaire was designed according to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of COPD (revised version 2021). Both inhaled drugs (monotherapy, double therapy and triple therapy) and oral drugs (expectorants, theophylline, antibiotics, and bacterial lysates) were included in this survey.

Background: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are recommended treatment for mild asthma. We aimed to update the evidence on the efficacy and safety of ICS-containing regimens, leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA), and tiotropium relative to as-needed (AN) short-acting β2-agonists (SABA) in children (aged 6-11 years) and adolescents/adults.

Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of regular and AN treatment for mild asthma was conducted (CRD42022352384).

Nanocarrier-based dry powders for lung disease treatment are crucial, with in vitro and in silico research being pivotal to their success. This study introduces a method for creating Tiotropium-bromide liposomal inhalation dry powder, termed "Trojan-particles," utilizing thin-film hydration and spray-drying with lactose-arginine carriers. Encapsulating tiotropium-bromide in nanoliposomes enhances lung treatment via liposomes' unique features.

Background: UMEC/VI administered via a combination inhaler is associated with a clinically significant improvement in lung function and health-related quality of life in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD. However, their efficacy compared to other bronchodilator mono or dual therapies still remains unclear.

Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of UMEC/VI dual and UMEC/VI/FF triple therapies versus alternative bronchodilator regimens in COPD patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between various medications and drug-induced dry mouth, which impacts patients' quality of life.
  • Data was collected from the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System from 2004 to 2024, analyzing 75,899 reports of dry mouth.
  • Findings indicated tiotropium bromide monohydrate was most commonly reported for causing dry mouth, while darifenacin had the highest risk; many implicated drugs lacked proper labeling for this side effect.
