Drug targeting to the brain
Many brain diseases (such as meningitis, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, AIDS related dementia, Parkinson's disease) are under treated or cannot be treated at all due to the presence of the barriers in the brain (blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and the braincerebrospinal fluid barrier). The blood-brain barrier is...
متن کاملDrug targeting to the diseased brain
The delivery of hydrophilic drugs to the brain is limited by the various barriers in the brain. In this respect, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the most important barrier because it functions as a physical and metabolic barrier represented by the endothelial cells of brain capillaries. In order to treat brain diseases, drugs must pass the BBB by targeting them to internalizing transport syste...
متن کاملDrug targeting to lysosomes.
1982). It is not clear how the rate of entry into lysosomes themselves is affected, but it may be retarded. The situation is even more obscure in the case of entry into lysosomes by autophagy. There are some indications of abnormalities in endogenous protein breakdown, and in perhaps of the lysosomal component thereof, in I-cell disease (Cockle & Dean, 1984). Similarly, Sameshima et al. (1981) ...
متن کاملLC/MS/MS in drug development: targeting the brain.
INTRODUCTION Success of drug development generally relies on selecting one or two most drug-like molecules from a large number of new chemical entities (NCEs) generated by combinatorial chemistry and subsequently filtered using in silico predictions. Drug-like properties include reliable bioactivity, favorable physical-chemical properties, and acceptable drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMP...
متن کاملMagnetic Graphene Oxide Nanocarrier as a drug delivery vehicle for MRI monitored magnetic targeting of rat brain tumors
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiform is the most common malignant brain tumor, with an invasive nature. Despite the development of conventional therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, because of high recurrence rates, the prognosis remains very poor. Over the last decade, nanotechnology has represented an innovative method as nanoparticle-based drug delivery ...
