Transport nesteroidních antiflogistik přes hematoencefalickou bariéru in vitro

Nováková, Iveta

The migration of substances between the blood circulation and the central nervous system (CNS) is regulated by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Small, lipophilic molecules such as carbon dioxide, oxygen or ethanol can pass the BBB by passive, transcellular diffusion, while the paracellular transport of hydrophilic substances is restricted by intercellular tight junctions. Due to accessory transport systems, the BBB is able to regulate specifically the permeation of substances (e.g. nutrients) (Ballabh et al., 2004). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used substances world-wide, yet little is known about their ability to cross the BBB. Since NSAIDs may exhibit CNS side effects including dizziness, headaches and drowsiness we sought to study the transport of several NSAIDs (celecoxib, diclofenac, ibuprofen, lornoxicam, meloxicam, piroxicam and tenoxicam). Both single studies and group studies were carried out applying either a single substance or several substances simultaneously across the BBB in vitro model based on the human cell line ECV304. The permeability data were normalized to the internal standards diazepam and carboxyfluorescein to account for cell layer's variabilities. According to our studies, it was confirmed that crossing of ibuprofen and...
