Alternative strategies for drug delivery to the brain: Recent challenges

According to statistical reports by well-known authentic centers such as Centre for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the
National Centre for Health, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has surpassed cardiovascular, diabetes and cancer as a leading cause of
death. AD, the most common form of dementia, is an exasperating health disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive
function. One of the biggest problems and challenges for the development of new drugs and treatment strategies against different
types of cancer and AD is the crossing of target drugs to the blood brain barrier. The use of nanoparticles in drug delivery therapy
holds much promise in targeting remote tissues, and as a result many studies have attempted to study the ultrastructural localization
of nanoparticles in various tissues. However, there are currently no in vivo studies demonstrating the ultrastructural distribution of
nanoparticles in the brain. The aim of this study was to address how intraperitoneal injection of silver nanoparticles in the brain leads
to leaking on the inter-endothelial contact and luminal plasma membrane, thus elucidating the possibility of penetrating into the
most affected areas in the cancer and Alzheimer brain (vascular endothelium, perivascular, neuronal and glial cells). Our results show
that the silver nanoparticles reached the brain and were found in hippocampal areas, indicating that they can be conjugated and used
to deliver the drugs into the cell cytoplasm of the damaged brain cells. The present study can be useful for the development of novel
drug delivering therapy and useful in understanding the delivery, distribution and effects of silver nanoparticles in cancer and AD
brain tissue at cellular and subcellular level.
