Optimal delivery of minocycline to the brain: implication for human studies of acute neuroprotection

Susan C Fagan et al. Exp Neurol. 2004 Apr.

Abstract

Minocycline is currently under development as a neuroprotective agent in many different brain diseases. In more than a dozen experimental investigations in various models of brain injury, high doses of minocycline have been administered intraperitoneally. This report details new concerns with this route of administration and makes a case for intravenous dosing in experimental animals, particularly for acute neuroprotection, to optimize delivery to the brain and facilitate translation to human studies.
