Delivery Systems as Vital Tools in Drug Repurposing.

The process of developing an old drug for new indications is now a widely accepted strategy of shortening drug development time, reducing drug costs, and improving drug availability, especially for rare and neglected diseases. In this mini-review, we…

Molecular determinants of blood-brain barrier permeation.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a microvascular unit which selectively regulates the permeability of drugs to the brain. With the rise in CNS drug targets and diseases, there is a need to be able to accurately predict a priori which compounds in a…

Brain-targeted delivery of paclitaxel using glutathione-coated nanoparticles for brain cancers.

Paclitaxel is not effective for treatment of brain cancers because it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) due to efflux by P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In this work, glutathione-coated poly-(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) of…
