Nanotechnology: A Promising Approach for Delivery of Neuroprotective Drugs
Open accessAbstract
Central nervous system (CNS) disorders especially neurodegenerative disorders are the major challenge for public health and demand the great attention of researchers to protect people against them. In past few decades, different treatment strategies have been adopted, but their therapeutic efficacy are not enough and have only shown partial mitigation of symptoms. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BSCFB) guard the CNS from harmful substances and pose as the major challenges in delivering drugs into CNS for treatment of CNS complications such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), stroke, epilepsy, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis (MS), and encephalitis, etc. Nanotechnology has come out as an exciting and promising new platform of treating neurological disorders and has shown great potential to overcome problems related to the conventional treatment approaches. Molecules can be nanoengineered to carry out multiple specific functions such as to cross the BBB, target specific cell or signaling pathway, respond to endogenous stimuli, and act as a vehicle for gene delivery, support nerve regeneration and cell survival. In present review, the role of nanocarrier systems such as liposomes, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNPs), dendrimers, and nanoemulsions for delivery of various neurotherapeutic agents has been discussed, besides this, their mechanism of action, and nanoformulation of different neuroprotective agents like curcumin, edaravone, nerve growth factors in CNS disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinsonism, epilepsy, stroke, and brain tumors has been reviewed.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This narrative review argues that nanotechnology-based carriers—liposomes, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and nanoemulsions—can help overcome the blood-brain barrier and deliver neuroprotective agents for CNS disorders. It surveys preclinical and clinical examples across Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, epilepsy, and stroke, while emphasizing unresolved toxicity and translation barriers.
Key findings
- Nanocarriers are proposed to cross the BBB/BCSFB via mechanisms including endocytosis/transcytosis, P-gp efflux inhibition, tight-junction permeation, and surfactant-mediated membrane effects; the review cites nanocarrier size ranges such as micelles 10–100 nm, polymeric nanoparticles 10–100 nm, liposomes 10–1000 nm depending on type, and nanoemulsions 100–500 nm.
- Disease-specific applications include curcumin nanoformulations for AD/PD/HD/stroke, NGF-loaded nanoparticles, edaravone lipid nanosystems, and nanocarriers for brain tumors and epilepsy; for stroke, the review states ischemic stroke contributes 87% of total stroke and hemorrhagic stroke 13% (10% intracerebral, 3% hemorrhagic).
- Reported quantitative examples include NanoCurc at 25 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice daily in athymic mice, curcumin-loaded polysorbate 80-modified cerasomes at 15 mg curcumin/kg in a PD mouse model, xenon-loaded liposomes at 7–14 mg/kg reducing infarct size in a rat stroke model, and nitrendipine-associated dementia reduction up to 50% over 2 years in HD.
- The global burden context cited is that in 2016 neurological disorders were the leading cause of DALYs [276 million (95% UI 247–308)] and the second leading cause of deaths [9.0 million (8.8–9.4)].
Methods
- Narrative review; no primary experiments or systematic review/meta-analysis are described.
- Synthesizes published literature on nanocarrier systems for CNS drug delivery, including tables of FDA-approved nanoformulated drugs, pharmacokinetic/biopharmaceutical properties, safety profiles, and disease-specific applications.
- Main analysis is descriptive: compares nanocarrier types, proposed mechanisms of BBB crossing, and preclinical/clinical outcomes for neuroprotective agents such as curcumin, nerve growth factors, and edaravone.
Limitations
- Stated: insufficient data exist to prove nanomedicines are better than conventional neurotherapeutics; nanocarriers may cause oxidative stress, amino acid disturbance, BBB disruption, neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, DNA damage, and allergic responses.
- Stated: clinical translation is limited by unclear fate of nanocarriers, systemic toxicity, biocompatibility, RES elimination, aggregation, limited drug loading, and high clearance; more toxicology, mechanism, pharmacokinetic, and non-invasive route studies are needed.
- Evident: as a narrative review, it lacks a systematic search strategy or formal quality assessment and relies heavily on cited preclinical studies, so efficacy and safety claims are not independently validated by primary data in this paper.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
