BBB. 12, 13 Pardridge8 has proposed the development of effluxtransporter inhibitors, which would increase brain concentration of protease inhibitors, zidovudine, and lamivudine and thus improve drug therapy. This strategy of BBB-directed drug augmentation is already used when inhibitors of aromatic-acid decarboxylase are coadministered with levodopa to inhibit its metabolism.With the recent advances in the understanding of how receptor-mediated transcytosis systems operate, the focus of brain drug delivery has switched to mechanisms that use the endogenous capillary receptors, since these systems promote membrane passage of specific large molecules. Pardridge14 noted that the only endogenous peptides that cross the BBB to any appreciable extent (eg, insulin, insulin-like growth factor, and transferrin) use receptor-mediated endocytosis. Specific receptors facilitate the movement of these compounds across the luminal capillary membrane, through the cytoplasm, and across the abluminal membrane to the neuropil. This process involves binding of the receptor and peptide at the luminal membrane of the BBB, formation of a plasmalemmal vesicle, translocation of the receptor-peptide complex through the cytoplasm, and dissociation of the peptide from the receptor on the external surface of the abluminal membrane. Enzymatic degradation of the drug does not occur within the endothelial cell, because the receptor-bound ligands are contained within membrane-sealed pinocytotic vesicles. Such receptors, which can transmit large molecules across the BBB (and tend to have similar transport properties when linked to potential neuropharmaceuticals), offer the promise of serving as useful “Trojan horses” in the development of new transport vehicles to facilitate BBB passage. 2 Similarly, modified proteins such as cationised albumin also cross the brain capillary via a transcytosis mechanism, but no specific receptor for this protein has yet been identified.
