Abstract

It was shown that the neuroactive peptide 5-oxo-Pro-Arg-Pro (5-oxo-PRP) is detected in the brain in the time interval of 5-120 min after it was intravenously or intranasally administered to rats; the maximum concentration of labeled tripeptide in these modes of administration was observed after 30 and 10 min, respectively. A significant difference in the concentrations of 5-oxo-PRP in the blood and brain (the latter was 50 times lower) during intravenous administration indicates a relatively low permeability of the peptide across the blood-brain barrier. Pharmacokinetic data analysis showed that, when administered intranasally, approximately 45% of the total number of 5-oxo-PRP detectable in the brain in the entire period of study enters via transport from the nasal cavity, and the rest of the peptide enters through the blood-brain barrier from the blood stream. It was found that 5-oxo-PRP in rats is rapidly metabolized forming proteolytic products, mainly amino acids, and degradation products, presumably oxidized these amino acids.

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.

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.
