Intranasal Drug Administration in Mice via Pipette and Reverse-Cannulation for Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery

Source: Kanazawa, T., et al. Novel Methods for Intranasal Administration Under Inhalation Anesthesia to Evaluate Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates the intranasal administration of radiolabeled drugs in an anesthetized mouse to achieve nose-to-brain drug delivery. It explains how drugs cross the nasal epithelium and travel via neuronal pathways to reach the brain, as well as how ciliary motion influences drug retention and clearance. Additionally, the video...

Nanoparticle-Mediated Enhanced Delivery of an Anti-Inflammatory Drug in Microglia-Like Cells

Take cultures of human monocyte-derived microglia-like cells.Introduce nanoparticles containing an anti-inflammatory drug into the experimental culture and the free drug into the control.The nanoparticles feature a hydrophilic shell and a hydrophobic core encapsulating the lipophilic drug.The cells endocytose the nanoparticles, which release the drug intracellularly, enhancing its delivery.The free drug enters by passive diffusion, a process constrained by the concentration gradient, which...
