Mechanism of intranasal drug delivery directly to the brain
Abstract
Neurological diseases are becoming increasingly prominent worldwide due to rapidly aging populations, which greatly contributes to increasing healthcare costs. The development of neuroprotective drugs has so far proven exceptionally difficult due to the blood-brain barrier. One novel approach to address this challenge is to administer drugs intranasally to noninvasively bypass the blood-brain barrier. The intranasal route can thus transport drugs directly to the brain from the nasal cavity along the olfactory and trigeminal nerves. The purpose of this review is to describe the details of this mechanism to better direct future research. The intranasal route is composed of two pathways, one being intracellular while the other being extracellular. The intracellular pathway begins with endocytosis by olfactory sensory cells, followed by axonal transport to their synaptic clefts in the olfactory bulb where the drug is exocytosed. This transynaptic process is repeated by olfactory neurons, thereby distributing the drug to other brain regions. In the extracellular mechanism, drugs are transported directly into the cerebral spinal fluid by first passing through the paracellular space across the nasal epithelium, then through the perineural space to the subarachnoid space of the brain. With a growing body of evidence and trials in both rodent and human models, this is an exciting area for research as therapeutics come to market.

Because intra-neuronal transport of neuropeptides from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb takes several hours, intranasally administered peptides are more likely primarily transported along extra-neuronal routes.
“The intra-neuronal transport of neuropeptides from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb takes several hours, 29 which makes it more likely that IN administered peptides are primarily transported along extra-neuronal routes (ie, through intercellular clefts of the olfactory epithelium).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
