Application Number: | US17/329,587 |
Patent Claims: |
1. A delivery system comprising a composition, the composition comprising a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing active pharmaceutical ingredient, wherein the NO-releasing active pharmaceutical ingredient is a diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle and is present in the composition in an amount of 0.01% to 30% by weight of the composition, wherein the composition has a Cmax of greater than 160 pmol of NO/mg, as measured by in vitro release testing, and wherein the composition has a pH of about 5 to about 8. 2. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the composition stores and/or releases nitric oxide in an amount of about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of the composition. 3. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the delivery system is configured for delivery to a body cavity of a subject. 4. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the delivery system is configured to contact the composition to a mucous membrane of the subject. 5. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the delivery system is configured to contact the composition to a nostril, mouth, tongue, and/or pharynx of the subject. 6. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises water. 7. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the delivery system administers nitric oxide in an amount sufficient to induce apoptosis in virally infected cells. 8. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the delivery system administers nitric oxide in an amount sufficient to reduce or eliminate viral replication with less than about 50% host cell cytotoxicity. 9. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle comprises a co-condensed silica network comprising diazeniumdiolated aminoethylaminopropyl trimethoxy silane (AEAP3) and tetra methyl orthosilicate (TMOS). 10. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle comprises a co-condensed silica network comprising diazeniumdiolated methylaminopropyl trimethoxysilane (MAP3) and tetra methyl orthosilicate (TMOS). 11. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle comprises a co-condensed silica network comprising diazeniumdiolated methylaminopropyl trimethoxysilane (MAP3) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). 12. A method of administering nitric oxide to a subject to treat and/or prevent a viral infection in a subject, the method comprising: administering a composition comprising a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing active pharmaceutical ingredient, wherein the NO-releasing active pharmaceutical ingredient is a diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle and is present in the composition in an amount of 0.01% to 30% by weight of the composition, wherein the composition has a Cmax of greater than 160 pmol of NO/mg, as measured by in vitro release testing, and wherein the composition has a pH of about 5 to about 8. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the composition stores and/or releases nitric oxide in an amount of about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of the composition. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administering the composition to a body cavity of a subject. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administering the composition to a mucous membrane of the subject. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administering the composition to a nostril, mouth, tongue, and/or pharynx of the subject. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administering nitric oxide in an amount sufficient to induce apoptosis in virally infected cells in the subject. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the administering comprises administering nitric oxide in an amount sufficient to reduce or eliminate viral replication with less than about 50% host cell cytotoxicity. 19. The method of claim 12, wherein the composition further comprises water. 20. The method of claim 12, wherein the diazeniumdiolated co-condensed silica particle comprises a co-condensed silica network comprising diazeniumdiolated methylaminopropyl trimethoxysilane (MAP3) and tetra methyl orthosilicate (TMOS). |
