26. Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability and AChE Inhibition of Ionophoric Polyphenols
The BBB is a semipermeable border composed of a layer of endothelial cells that separates the bloodstream from the brain and extracellular fluid in the CNS. It is an important mechanism to protect the brain from access of external toxins, fluctuations in plasma composition, and from other circulating agents in blood. This layer, however, also limits the access of therapeutic drugs into the brain. As a result, failure to cross the BBB and/or recognition by efflux BBB transporters are major impediments in the development of drugs for the treatment of AD.
