This article describes the experimental set-up and pharmacokinetic modeling of P-glycoprotein function in the rat blood-brain barrier using [ 11 C]verapamil as the substrate and cyclosporin A as an inhibitor of P-gp. [ 11 C]verapamil was administered to rats as an i.v. bolus dose followed by graded

Low cerebral uptake of some therapeutic drugs can be enhanced by modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-driven drug efflux pump at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We investigated the possibility of increasing cerebral uptake of the beta-adrenergic ligands S-1'-[(18)F]-fluorocarazolol (FCAR) and
The objective of this study was to establish the optimal blood concentrations of the potent P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor GF120918 (Elacridar) required to achieve maximal knockout of this efflux transporter in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of mice, rats, and guinea pigs. Genetic mdr1a/b(-/-) knock
