Targeting of Large-molecule Radiopharmaceuticals across the Blood-brain Barrier Using Endogenous Transport Systems

Drug targeting to the central nervous system (CNS) is the limiting factor in CNS drug development because most of drug do not cross the brain capillary endothelial wall, which forms the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vivo. One strategy for drug targeting to the brain is to use endogenous BBB transport systems. (omitted)
