Drug Delivery to the Brain

Cationic nanocarriers are also promising carrier systems to cross biological membranes. Cationic cyclodextrin nanoparticles were studied for doxorubicin delivery across the blood/brain barrier (BBB). Nanopartieles of 65-85 nm diameter probably passed across the BBB with endoeytosis. Drug-loaded nanoparticles induced a cytotoxic effect on U87 human glioblastoma cells without toxicity on brain microvessel endothelial eells.  [Pg.286]

Cationic lipids and cationic polymers are designed as gene delivery systems on the nanoscale. Especially chitosan is under focus as a biodegradable, natural biopolymer, used both as the polyplex and also as a coating material for other polyplexes. Chitosan-coated poly(isohexyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles have also been developed for intravenous delivery of siRNA and no evidence of toxicity was observed after intravenous administration for 30 [Pg.287]

It is possible to prepare various kinds of nanoparticles with different surface charges and particle sizes depending on the polymer composition and preparation technique. As a result, the particle size of nanoparticles varies from 10 nm to 200 nm and the surface charge - -5 mV to -1-50 mV. In this manner, drug carrier systems can be formed through different routes such as oral, parenteral and other mucosal routes for local or systemic therapy, with high cellular interaction, loading capacity, transfection efficiency and low toxicity. [Pg.288]

Several active transport systems also exist on the blood-brain barrier that are responsible for removing drugs and toxins from the brain.6,11 That is, certain drugs can enter the brain easily via diffusion or another process, but these drugs are then rapidly and efficiently transported out of the brain and back into the systemic circulation.6,13 This effect creates an obvious problem because these drugs will not reach therapeutic levels within the CNS, and won t be beneficial. Hence, the blood-brain barrier has many structural and functional characteristics that influence CNS drugs, and researchers continue to explore ways that these characteristics can be modified to ensure adequate drug delivery to the brain and spinal cord.15,23... [Pg.57]

General allometric correlations such as these can obscure some interesting and important interspecies differences. Brain size in humans and nonhuman pri-mateS/ for example is considerably larger than would be expected from other mammals. Some implications of this have been discussed with reference to regional drug delivery to the brain (2). [Pg.464]

In conclusion, it may be clear that RMT and CMT are important processes for the influx and efflux of substances to and from the BBB endothelial compartment. Changed activity of these processes due to disease, for example, can have serious consequences for functionality and integrity of the BBB. On one hand, this can result in increased para- and transcellular BBB permeability, and therefore, in changed CNS homeostasis. Ultimately, this can lead to CNS diseases, e.g., Alzheimer s or other neurodegenerative diseases (25-27). On the other hand, this offers opportunities for site-specific or targeted drug delivery to the brain when transport processes are selectively upregulated under disease conditions. [Pg.635]
