摘要

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents major cognitive and memory decline in the elderly patients. Although Montelukast has traditionally been used for the treatment of asthma, its role in prevention of neuropathological changes and memory decline in AD have recently been reported in literature. However, the brain availability through oral administration of Montelukast is limited due to its poor blood-brain barrier permeation. This study has highlighted that the intranasal administration of Montelukast can provide a considerable brain bioavailability of Montelukast in mice. In addition, intranasal administration of Montelukast showed a significant improvement of spatial and cognitive memory, prevention of Aβ accumulation, astrocyte activation, along with improved redox balance and neuronal density in the hippocampus and cortex regions in the amyloid-beta1−42 (Aβ1−42)-induced animal model of AD. These neuroprotective effects were found to be better through intranasal administration of Montelukast in comparison to its oral administration at the equivalent dose. These results suggest that Montelukast may be administered through intranasal route to achieve a significant therapeutic effect in the pathophysiology of AD.
