Neutral amino acid (NAA) transport across the blood-brain barrier was examined in pentobarbitalanesthetized rats with an in situ brain perfusion technique. Fourteen of 16 plasma NAAs showed measurable affinity for the cerebrovascular NAA transport system. Values of the transport constants (V,,,, K,,
Efflux transport at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the brain tissue exposure to a variety of potential therapeutic agents, including compounds that are relatively lipophilic and would be predicted to permeate the endothelial lining of the brain microvasculature. Recent advances in molecular an
