Özet: The blood-brain barrier is still a major problem for the treatment of central nervous system diseases. In the last decades, many strategies to overcome this barrier have been investigated. Compared to other drug delivery strategies, due to the reduced side effects and no requirement for surgical operations, brain targeted nanoparticle is one the most promising and popular strategy used do deliver drugs to the brain. Many in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical studies have been conducted to determine optimum brain targeted nanoparticles. These studies were reported that characteristics of nanoparticles such as particle size, zeta potential and targeting ligand are critical to achieving the goals. In this review, previous strategies of brain targeted drug delivery and characteristic prosperities for optimized brain-targeted nanoparticles were evaluated.Moreover, different strategies, such as focus ultrasound, which can increase the effectiveness of nanoparticular system applications, are mentioned.
