Abstract:
Disclosed is a device and method for treating a neurodegenerative disease or condition associated with neuroinflammation induced by a leukotriene. The device is a film unit dosage form having a film layer and a safe and effective amount of a leukotriene receptor antagonist or leukotriene synthesis inhibitor. The device is configured and formulated to achieve transmucosal and/or enteral delivery of the leukotriene receptor antagonist or leukotriene synthesis inhibitor. The method includes transmucosally and/or enterally delivering to an animal in need of treatment, a safe and effective amount of a leukotriene blocker capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Claim (Index 1):
A film dosage form for delivery of a pharmaceutically active agent through oral mucosa of a subject in need of treatment for a neurodegenerative disease, comprising:\n a leukotriene blocker in a safe and effective amount for treating the neurodegenerative disease; a bioadhesive layer containing the leukotriene blocker, the bioadhesive layer formulated with at least one film forming polymer exhibiting bioadhesion such that the bioadhesive layer maintains sufficient contact with the oral mucosa to allow the leukotriene blocker to directly enter blood of the subject through the oral mucosa upon administration of the dosage form to the oral mucosa of the subject; and a penetration enhancing agent in the bioadhesive layer in an amount effective to promote absorption of the leukotriene blocker through the oral mucosa upon administration of the dosage form to the oral mucosa of the subject.
