The present study was to develop donepezil loaded nanosuspension for direct olfactory administration which reaches the brain and determining safety profile in Sprague-Dawley rats. Nanosuspension was prepared by ionic-crosslinking method. The developed nanosuspension was intranasally instilled into the nostrils of rats with the help of cannula (size 18/20) so that drug reached into the brain directly via nose to brain pathway. The nanosuspension had an average size of 150-200 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.341. The donepezil concentration was estimated in the brain homogenate using HPLC method. The C. showed concentration of donepezil in brain and plasma as 7.2 +/- 0.86 and 82.8 +/- 5.42 ng/ml, respectively, for drug suspension and concentration of donepezil in brain and plasma as 147.54 +/- 25.08 and 183.451 +/- 13.45 ng/ml, respectively, for nanosuspension at same dose of 0.5 mg/ml when administered intranasally (p
