Targeting the brain via intranasal delivery: rationale, progress and challenges

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceeding contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Intranasal delivery systems represent a compelling method for administering drugs directly to the central nervous system (CNS), circumventing the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB). Anatomical, physiological, and technological aspects all influence the development of intranasal formulations aimed at brain targeting. The mechanisms enabling nose-to-brain delivery (N2B), the challenges inherent in formulating and deploying these systems, and recent advances in device technology that bolster drug bioavailability and patient adherence are discussed.
