Abstract
Nanoparticle based MKT formulation. MKT is encapsulated by poly(ethylene glycol)ylated (PEGylated) poly-(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) to form nanoparticles (NPs). To induce trans-BBB permeability, glutathione (GSH) is coated on the resulting NPs. Newly generated MKT-NPs showed BBB permeability and tau reduction in experimental models. Specifically, brain-targeting MKT NPs were developed with a glutathione coating, characterized, and shown to permeate BBB permeation insert models as a therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies.
