Introduction: Intranasal drug delivery is a largely unexplored, promising approach for the treatment of various neurological disorders. However, due to the challenging constraints available in the pathway of nose-to-brain delivery, finding an effective treatment for Parkinsonism is still an impending mission for research workers. This warrants development of novel treatment alternatives for Parkinson's disease (PD). Intranasal delivery of mucoadhesive nanocarriers is one such novel approach which might help in curbing the glitches associated with the currently available therapy.Areas covered: This review summarizes the evidences supporting nose-to-brain delivery of polymer-based mucoadhesive nanocarriers for the treatment of PD. A concise insight into the lipid-based mucoadhesive nanocarriers has also been presented. The recent researches have been compiled pertaining to the use of mucoadhesive nanocarrriers for improving the treatment outcomes of PD via intranasal drug delivery.Expert opinion: Although the use of nanocarrier-based strategies for site-specific delivery via intranasal route has proven effective, the magnitude of improvement remains moderate resulting in limited translation from industry to the market. Comprehensive understanding of the mucoadhesive polymer, its characteristics and mechanisms involved for an effective nose-to-brain uptake of the drug is a promising avenue to develop novel formulations for effective management of Parkinson disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D009297 Nasal Mucosa The mucous lining of the NASAL CAVITY, including lining of the nostril (vestibule) and the OLFACTORY MUCOSA. Nasal mucosa consists of ciliated cells, GOBLET CELLS, brush cells, small granule cells, basal cells (STEM CELLS) and glands containing both mucous and serous cells. Nasal Epithelium,Schneiderian Membrane,Epithelium, Nasal,Membrane, Schneiderian,Mucosa, Nasal
D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.
