The Cell-Penetrating Peptide Tat Facilitates Effective Internalization of PSD-95 Inhibitors Into Blood–Brain Barrier Endothelial Cells but less Efficient Permeation Across the Blood–Brain Barrier In Vitro and In Vivo
Inhibition of the interaction between the scaffolding protein PSD-95 and the NMDA receptor has been shown to obstruct ischemic stroke-triggered excitotoxic reactions, leading to neuronal death. The peptides NR2B9c and N-dimer are inhibitors of this interaction. Delivery of the peptides to the brain...
