lüll NanoART, neuroAIDS and CNS drug delivery Nowacek A; Gendelman HENanomedicine (Lond) 2009[Jul]; 4 (5): 557-74A broad range of nanomedicines is being developed to improve drug delivery for CNS disorders. The structure of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the presence of efflux pumps and the expression of metabolic enzymes pose hurdles for drug-brain entry. Nanoformulations can circumvent the BBB to improve CNS-directed drug delivery by affecting such pumps and enzymes. Alternatively, they can be optimized to affect their size, shape, and protein and lipid coatings to facilitate drug uptake, release and ingress across the barrier. This is important as the brain is a sanctuary for a broad range of pathogens including HIV-1. Improved drug delivery to the CNS would affect pharmacokinetic and drug biodistribution properties. This article focuses on how nanotechnology can serve to improve the delivery of antiretroviral medicines, termed nanoART, across the BBB and affect the biodistribution and clinical benefit for HIV-1 disease.|*Nanomedicine[MESH]|AIDS Dementia Complex/*drug therapy[MESH]|Anti-HIV Agents/*administration & dosage/pharmacokinetics/therapeutic use[MESH]|Blood-Brain Barrier[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Tissue Distribution[MESH]|Viral Load[MESH] |
