Enhancing therapeutic efficacy of Fingolimod via Intranasal Delivery in an Ethidium Bromide-induced Model of Multiple Sclerosis.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune neurological characterized by muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, vision problems, and difficulty in coordination and balance caused by the damage of myelin content around the nerve fibres. The recent literature is evident that along with their lymphocyte attack prevention mechanism, fingolimod (FNG) can serve as neuroprotective also by ensuring their improved brain availability. Therefore, in this project brain availability of FNG was enhanced by delivering the FNG in the form of nanoparticles.
