The purpose of the paper is actively exploring the feasibility of using nanocarriers in the brain to treat various neurological disorders. These include Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis, depression, cerebral ischemia, and cerebral malaria. Among the various approaches available, nose-to-brain drug targeting remains the most acceptable but difficult challenge due to the complex structure and multiple barriers presented by the CNS. The various nanoformulations including microemulsions, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), liposomes, and transferosomes are currently used for their advanced delivery approaches. The nanoformulations are capable of performing the desired functions of the advanced delivery and targeting approaches, i.e., enhancing nasalto- brain deliv.. View More»
