PG - 5-19 LID - 10.1111/bcpt.13656 [doi] AB - Efficient delivery of brain-targeted drugs is highly important for the success of therapies in neurodegenerative diseases. Borneol has several biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and cell penetration enhancing effect, and can regulate processes in the neurovascular unit (NVU), such as protein toxic stress, autophagosome/lysosomal system, oxidative stress, programmed cell death and neuroinflammation. However, the influence of borneol on NVU in neurodegenerative diseases has not been fully explained. This study searched the keywords 'borneol', 'neurovascular unit', 'endothelial cell', 'astrocyte', 'neuron', 'blood-brain barrier', 'neurodegenerative diseases' and 'brain disease' in PubMed, BioMed Central, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Bing search engines to explore the influence of borneol on NVU. In addition to the principle and mechanism of penetration of borneol in the brain, this study also showed its multiple regulation effects on NVU. Borneol was able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), affecting the signal transmission between BBB and the microenvironment of the brain, downregulating the expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress proteins in NVU, especially in microglia and astrocytes. In summary, borneol is a potential drug delivery agent for drugs against neurodegenerative diseases.
