Nose-to-brain/spinal cord delivery kinetics of liposomes with different surface properties

The administration of liposomes via nose-to-brain delivery is expected to become a strategy for efficient drug delivery to the central nervous system. Efficient nose-to-brain delivery and the kinetics of drugs administered in this manner depend on the properties of liposomes. However, there is a lack of basic knowledge of which liposomes are suitable for this purpose. Here, a qualitative study of intranasally administered liposomes (positively charged, neutral, and negatively charged, with or without polyethylene glycol [PEG] modification; particle size
