Abstract:
Focused on the challenges in brain disease treatment and advancements in nose-to-brain delivery research, this article summarized current progress in nasal drug delivery research and proposed several novel evaluation models for nasal drug absorption. By reviewing five types of evaluation models-ex vivo animal tissue models, in situ perfusion models, in vivo pharmacokinetic models, in vitro cell models, and computational fluid dynamics model-it clarified the distinct advantages of nasal drug delivery compared to other administration routes. Furthermore, by outlining emerging nasal drug delivery technologies and irritation evaluation methods, it explored the cutting-edge directions of nose-to-brain delivery. This provides essential support for the selection of nose-to-brain delivery dosage forms and paves new paths for the advancement of nasal drug delivery.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.

Additional Routes of Drug Administration
Administering drugs via inhalation allows for the direct delivery of gaseous, volatile substances or droplets to different parts of the respiratory tract. One of the advantages of the inhalation route is the rapid absorption of drugs into the circulatory system, which is possible because of the large surface area of...
