Intranasal delivery has the distinct advantages of circumventing the BBB while minimizing systemic exposure. This novel approach to treating neurological illnesses will be examined in detail in this review. We will review current understanding of the mechanisms underlying intranasal delivery to the CNS, along with discussion of pathways permitting entry from the nasal cavity into the CNS, particularly those involving the olfactory and trigeminal nerves. Significant preclinical research has been performed to develop and improve our current approaches to intranasal treatments. We will examine the evidence behind the use of intranasal delivery in chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and diabetes-mediated cerebral degeneration, as well as in acute conditions such as stroke.<p> review Drugs and Drug Therapy 17636 public 10.2741/252 Intranasal treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and stroke [review] Frontiers in bioscience (Scholar edition) 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 document-rn19737
