  • Increasing blood-brain barrier permeability with permeabilizer peptides
    Patent number: 5686416
    Abstract: Peptides called receptor mediated permeabilizers (RMP) increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to molecules such as therapeutic agents or diagnostic agents. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be intravenously co-administered to a host together with molecules whose desired destination is the interstitial fluid compartment of the brain. Alternatively, the permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues can be administered sequentially with the molecule(s) of interest and these molecules can also be administered by routes other than intravascular. The permeabilizer A-7 or conformational analogues allow these molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and arrive in the interstitial fluid.
