Clay Nanotubes Loaded with Diazepam or Xylazine Permeate the Brain through Intranasal Administration in Mice
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is an obstacle to the permeation of most therapeutic drugs into the brain, limiting treatments for neurological disorders. Drugs loaded within nanocarriers that pass through the BBB can overcome this limitation. Halloysite consists of naturally occurring biocompatible c...

description | The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is an obstacle to the permeation of most therapeutic drugs into the brain, limiting treatments for neurological disorders. Drugs loaded within nanocarriers that pass through the BBB can overcome this limitation. Halloysite consists of naturally occurring biocompatible clay nanotubes of 50 nm diameter and 15 nm lumen, allowing the loading and sustained release of loaded drugs. These have demonstrated the ability to transport loaded molecules into cells and organs. We propose to use halloysite nanotubes as a “nano-torpedo” for drug delivery through the BBB due to their needle-like shape. To determine if they can cross the BBB using a non-invasive, clinically translatable route of administration, we loaded halloysite with either diazepam or xylazine and delivered these intranasally to mice daily over six days. The sedative effects of these drugs were observed in vestibulomotor tests conducted at two, five, and seven days after the initial administration. Behavioral tests were conducted 3.5 h after administration to show that the effects were from halloysite/delivered drugs and not from the drug alone. As expected, the treated mice performed more poorly than the sham, drug alone, and halloysite-vehicle-treated mice. These results confirm that halloysite permeates the BBB to deliver drugs when administered intranasally. |
