What are the characteristics of drugs which cross the placenta and enter the brain? • Drugs which are lipid soluble can cross the blood brain barrier and the placenta by passive diffusion. The more lipid soluble the drug the faster it diffuses into the brain and the faster it crosses the placenta • The more aqueous soluble drugs can only enter the brain or the fetus by active transport or facilitated diffusion.
