“The study aimed to prepare polysorbate 80-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to improve the permeability of AP across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enhance its brain-protective effects.
Conclusion:Â Polysorbate 80-coated PLGA-NPs can improve the permeability of AP cross the BBB and enhance its brain-protective effects in rats.”

“The blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a challenge for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases including cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, Parkinson’s syndrome, and cerebral tumors. It was also reported that Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80, T80) plays a special role in brain targeting.”

“Patients with brain metastases of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have a poor prognosis owing to the lack of targeted therapies, the aggressive nature of TNBC, and the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that blocks penetration of most drugs. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that covalently bound polysorbate 80 in the terpolymer enables the low-density lipoprotein receptor-mediated BBB crossing and TAM-targetability of the TPLN. Conjugation of cyclic internalizing peptide (iRGD) enhances cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and drug delivery to brain metastases of integrin-overexpressing TNBC cells.”
