Abstract：
:Parkinson's disease (PD) as a motor disorder is pathologically featured by the loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra compacta (SNc) and the consequent depletion of dopamine in the striatum. However, motor signs are detectable when the loss of dopaminergic striatal terminals exceeds to the dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in SN. Hence, recent evidences about the topological organization of the nigrostriatal system could provide novel insights about the progression of the neurodegenerative process as well as the correct application of the novel therapeutic strategies. Though dopaminergic drugs and different routes of administration have been proposed to treat PD, most of the effects are symptomatic with temporary effects resorting to invasive procedures to ameliorate the side effects. Since the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the main obstacle for most of molecules to access to the brain, ongoing research is focused on halting the progression of PD through the use of those technologies that allow the effective delivery and diffusion of therapeutic molecules to the central nervous system for bypassing BBB and avoiding the side effects. In this context, nanotechnology is emerging as a promising tool for drug delivery. In fact, nanodelivery of restorative treatments in PD, such as gene therapy increased the effectiveness of neurotrophic factors for restoring the dopamine deficit and improving motor deficit in rodent models. Therefore, the present review is focused on the description and identification of the available nanotherapies developed in experimental models of PD which could suppose an important advance for controlled delivery of nanobioactive components into the brain and one more step for the clinical projection.
