A pharmaceutical composition for treating pulmonary infections caused by mycobacteria or other gram-positive bacteria has been patented. The composition includes clofazimine or its derivative, a nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value greater than 10, an aqueous liquid carrier, and a mucolytic and/or biofilm destructing agent. The clofazimine is provided in the form of particles with specific size parameters to enhance effectiveness. The composition can be aerosolized for inhalation using various nebulizing devices, ensuring the particles have a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 1 to 5 µm.
Furthermore, the patent covers a method for treating or preventing pulmonary infections by administering the patented composition through inhalation. The method is particularly useful for infections caused by mycobacteria, including nontuberculous mycobacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. It is also effective for opportunistic infections in patients with conditions like cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Additionally, the method allows for the sequential administration of the patented composition with other agents like bedaquiline or amikacin for enhanced therapeutic outcomes in treating pulmonary infections caused by mycobacteria or gram-positive bacteria.
