## Abstract

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for improving respiratory damage. The pharmaceutical composition includes an adsorbent medicament and a water-containing carrier, wherein said adsorbent medicament comprises a carbon material, a molecular sieve or a positively and negatively charged compound. The present invention also provides use for manufacturing pharmaceutical composition for improving respiratory damage.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A pharmaceutical composition for improving respiratory damage, comprising an adsorbent medicament, wherein said adsorbent medicament comprises a carbon material and a water-containing carrier,
wherein said carbon material is selected from a group consisting of activated carbon, activated carbon fiber, activated carbon ball, columnar activated carbon, activated carbon powder, and a combination thereof,
wherein said carbon material has a mean particle diameter ranging from 0.1 to 500 μm,
wherein said carbon material has a specific surface area (BET) ranging from 300 to 3000 m2/g,
wherein said carbon material has a micropore diameter ranging from 1 to 500 nm, wherein said water-containing carrier is selected from the group consisting of normal saline, buffers, isotonic saline solution, and a combination thereof, said adsorbent medicament mixed with said water-containing carrier is formulated as a suspension at a concentration ranging from 0.001 to 1 wt %,
wherein the adsorbent carbon material is configured for administration into a respiratory system by inhalation or instillation to be delivered to a respiratory tract, lungs, or alveoli, to adsorb toxic substances, bacteria, viruses, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, or cytokines in the respiratory system, and
wherein the pharmaceutical composition improves respiratory system damage.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1, wherein said carbon material has a volume in pores ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 ml/g.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1, wherein said pharmaceutical composition further comprises at least one of an adjuvant, an excipient, or a propellant.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1, further comprising a medicine selected from a group consisting of an antibacterial medicine, an antiviral medicine, an anticoagulant medicine, a thrombolytic medicine, an alpha-blocker, a 5a-Reductase inhibitor, a nasal decongestant, an antitussive, an expectorant, a mucolytic, a bronchodilator, an antibiotic, an antifungal medicine, an antiasthmatic medicine, an anti-inflammatory medicine, an antioxidant, a Chinese medicine extract, an antibody, and a vaccine.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1, wherein said carbon material further comprises at least one of oxygen functional groups, hydroxyl functional groups, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, aldehyde groups, and carbonic acid.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1, further comprising an element selected from a group consisting of metal ions, magnetic materials, cation compounds, anion compounds, or halogen ions, and a combination thereof.

### Claim 7

A method for improving respiratory damage, the method comprising:
(a) providing a pharmaceutical composition comprising an adsorbent medicament, wherein said adsorbent medicament comprises a carbon material and a water-containing carrier;
(b) administering said pharmaceutical composition into a respiratory system of the patient by inhalation or instillation to deliver the carbon material to a respiratory tract, lungs, or alveoli, to adsorb toxic substances, bacteria, viruses, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, or cytokines in the respiratory system; and
(c) removing the pharmaceutical composition out of the lungs of the patient,
wherein said carbon material is selected from the group consisting of activated carbon, activated carbon fiber, activated carbon ball, columnar activated carbon, activated carbon powder, and a combination thereof,
wherein said carbon material has a mean particle diameter ranging from 0.1 to 500 μm, a specific surface area (BET) ranging from 300 to 3000 m2/g, and a micropore diameter ranging from 1 to 500 nm,
wherein said water-containing carrier is selected from the group consisting of normal saline, buffers, isotonic saline solution, and a combination thereof, and wherein said adsorbent medicament mixed with said water-containing carrier is formulated as a suspension at a concentration ranging from 0.001 to 1 wt %.
