Resum

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a formidable physical and enzymatic barrier that tightly controls the passage of molecules from the blood to the brain. In fact, less than 2 % of all potential neurotherapeutics are able to cross it. Here, by applying the retro-enantio approach to a peptide that targets the transferrin receptor, a full protease-resistant peptide with the capacity to act as a BBB shuttle was obtained and thus enabled the transport of a variety of cargos into the central nervous system.
