Abstract
The normal functioning of central nervous system is protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which regulates the brain homeostasis and the transport of endogenous compounds. The BBB formed by the endothelial cells of the brain capillaries restricts access to brain cells of blood-borne compounds and allows only essential nutrients such as amino acids, glucose, and hormones to reach brain cells for their normal metabolism. The highly selective regulation of the brain homeostasis by the BBB presents a major obstacle in the incapacity of therapeutic compounds small and large to reach the brain. Diverse ranges of strategies are now being developed to enhance delivery of therapeutic compounds in the brain parenchyma. In this review, we will more specifically address new methods developed as physiological approaches to transport biologics across the BBB. Use of specific molecules such as protein and peptide vectors to facilitate the delivery of biologics to cross the BBB will be addressed. Additionally, their relevance to nanomedicines for brain drug delivery will also be summarized.
