Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine if airway pH has an effect on albuterol-induced vasodilation in the airway. Methods: Ten healthy volunteers performed the following respiratory maneuvers: quiet breathing, hypocapnic hyperventilation, hypercapnic hyperventilation, and eucapnic hyperventilation


Clinical Trial Description

The lungs provide a unique absorptive surface for drug delivery. Many inhaled drugs are rapidly absorbed into the airway because of their lipophilic chemical characteristics. However, the majority of the currently used β2-adrenergic bronchodilators cannot freely diffuse across the epithelial cell membrane because of their transient or permanent positive charge at physiological pH. Inhaled albuterol, a β2-adrenergic agonist used widely for the treatment of obstructive airway disease, is charged positively in neutral or acidic conditions and thus requires active transport across the airway epithelium. Previous studies in the lab have shown that albuterol uptake into airway epithelia occurs via a pH sensitive cation transporter (OCTN2). The vasodilator response to an inhaled β2-adrenergic agonist could be an expression of epithelial cation transport. The investigators propose that the magnitude and duration of vasodilation in the airway caused by an inhaled hydrophilic β2-adrenergic agonist such as albuterol may be altered by changes in airway pH. The purpose of this protocol is to determine the effect of ASL pH on the response of Qaw to inhaled albuterol by manipulating airway pH through ventilatory maneuvers in health subjects: hyperventilation to raise pH and ventilation with CO2 bleed-in to lower pH. ;
