  1. Drug Delivery into the Human Brain Wednesday, December 06, 2006 Mahadevabharath R. Somayaji, Michalis Xenos, Libin Zhang, and Andreas A. Linninger Laboratory for Product and Process Design, Departments of Chemical and Bio-Engineering, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL, 60607, U.S.A.

  2. Deploy first principles transport equations to predict drug transport mechanism in the human brain using a two and three-dimensional Patient-Specific computational model . Motivation Challenges • Neurodegenerative diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS) affect millions of people worldwide • The targeted delivery of large molecular weight therapeutic drugs is hampered by • The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) • Differences in brain tissue properties: Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity • Differences in patient-specific brain geometry: dimensions and shape • Localized prediction of drug distribution: achievable Penetration depths and Treatment volumes in the Human Brain

  3. CNS Disorders Requiring LARGE Molecules Drug Therapy CNS Disorders Treatable With small Drug Molecules • Alzheimer’s Disease • Parkinson’s Disease • Huntington’s Disease • Autism • Multiple Sclerosis • Brain Cancer • Stroke • Brain Trauma • Lyosomal Storage Disorders • Inherited Ataxias • Depression • Schizophrenia • Chronic Pain • Epilepsy The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) BBB is formed by a network of microcapillaries that are in turn composed of endothelial cells. BBB is impermeable to large molecular weight chemotherapeutic agents Brain Capillaries Ref: Pardridge, 1996

  5. Tissue/Drug Properties • from • Heuristics • Literature Patient Specific Computer Assisted Brain Analysis

  6. Mathematical Description ofm Drug Transport in the brain Drug Convection – Diffusion in porous brain parenchyma Prediction of Bulk Diffusivity of Drug Effective Diffusivity in Porous Tissue Bulk Continuity Momentum Additional pressure drop – porous structure ρis the density of the fluid and μ is the viscosity k is the permeability and βis the inertial resistance factor. Deff is the effective drug diffusivity

  7. Prediction of Drug Distribution – Dynamic Simulation Thalamus Injection Caudate Nucleus (Target) Source White Matter Anisotropy Total Time: 4 weeks

  8. Three dimensional reconstruction of brain sub-structures
