Introduction: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) should be administered by inhalation rather than parenterally to improve their efficiency in lung diseases. However, the pulmonary administration of mAbs in terms of aerosol technology and the formulation for inhalation is difficult. Areas covered: The feasible or suitable strategies for overcoming the barriers associated with administering mAbs are described. Expert opinion: Providing mAbs via inhalation to individuals with lung disorders is still difficult. However, inhalation is a desirable method for mAb delivery. Inhaled mAb production needs to be well thought out. The illness, the patient group(s), the therapeutic molecule selected, its interaction with the biological barriers in the lungs, the formulation, excipients, and administration systems must all be thoroughly investigated. Therefore, to create inhaled mAbs that are stable and efficacious, it will be essential to thoroughly examine the problems linked to instability and protein aggregation. More excipients will also need to be manufactured, expanding the range of formulation design choices. Another crucial requirement is for novel carriers for topical delivery to the lungs since carriers might significantly enhance proteins’ stability and pharmacokinetic profile.

Abstract

Introduction: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) should be administered by inhalation rather than parenterally to improve their efficiency in lung diseases. However, the pulmonary administration of mAbs in terms of aerosol technology and the formulation for inhalation is difficult. Areas covered: The feasible or suitable strategies for overcoming the barriers associated with administering mAbs are described. Expert opinion: Providing mAbs via inhalation to individuals with lung disorders is still difficult. However, inhalation is a desirable method for mAb delivery. Inhaled mAb production needs to be well thought out. The illness, the patient group(s), the therapeutic molecule selected, its interaction with the biological barriers in the lungs, the formulation, excipients, and administration systems must all be thoroughly investigated. Therefore, to create inhaled mAbs that are stable and efficacious, it will be essential to thoroughly examine the problems linked to instability and protein aggregation. More excipients will also need to be manufactured, expanding the range of formulation design choices. Another crucial requirement is for novel carriers for topical delivery to the lungs since carriers might significantly enhance proteins’ stability and pharmacokinetic profile.
