Principles and applicability of CSF sampling for the assessment of CNS drug delivery and pharmacodynamics

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations are used as a surrogate measure of central nervous system (CNS) availability of drugs. Systemically administered drugs can reach CSF either directly via passage across the choroid plexus, or indirectly by passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) followed by diffusion/convection transport from the interstitial fluid (ISF) to CSF. This review focuses on the physiological and pharmacokinetic variables that must be considered in the interpretation of the CSF-to-plasma concentration gradient. A survey of the literature suggests that the equilibrated CSF-to-unbound plasma concentration ratio reflects the balance between drug permeability across the blood-CNS barriers and the sink action of CSF turnover. As lipophilicity and membrane permeability increase, the CSF-to-plasma unbound concentration ratio rises from well below 1 toward unity. Deviations are noted in that lipophilic drugs highly bound to CSF proteins had ratio exceeding unity, and lipophilic drugs that were efflux transporter substrates exhibited ratios well less than unity. Drug concentration gradients have been observed between drug in the ISF and CSF, the direction of which depends on the CSF sink action and drug permeability...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Antivirals

Antivirals are medications that are used specifically for treating viral infections. Discover the latest research on antivirals here.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

Blood-Brain Barrier Transport in Neurodegeneration

The blood brain barrier is important for regulating the movement of biomolecules in and out of the brain. For example, membrane transporters in the blood brain barrier can be essential for regulating drug movement and dysregulation of these processes may play a role in neurodegeneration.
