Abstract

In Parkinson’s disease (PD), excess free iron drives the accumulation of toxic hydroxyl radicals within mitochondria of dopaminergic neurons, resulting in sustained oxidative
stress and cellular damage. The blood‐brain barrier (BBB) prevents most pharmaceuticals from entering the brain, therefore, to enable the advancement of potential antioxidant and iron chelator therapies for PD, limiting factors such as brain penetrance and bioavailability need to be overcome. This study aimed to develop novel nanocarrier delivery systems of the antioxidants curcumin, n‐acetylcysteine (NAC) and hydroxytyrosol (HT), alone or combined with the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO), to protect against rotenone‐induced parkinsonism in SH‐SY5Y cells, and in a co‐cultured hCMEC/D3 ‐ SH‐SY5Y cellular BBB model.
