Site-specific brain therapeutics

The present disclosure relates to an approach, referred to as Regionally Activated Interstitial Drugs (RAID), that does not require viral vectors, but allows for tunable, noninvasive, long-term neuromodulation with small molecules. RAID utilizes noninvasive delivery of an engineered protein enzyme into the brain, which then binds to the brain parenchyma and can locally convert a blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-permeable inert prodrug into an active neuromodulatory drug. As long as the RAID enzyme is present in the parenchyma, localized neuromodulation can be achieved with systemic administration of the BBB-permeable prodrug even in the absence of the opened BBB. Alternatively, gene delivery encoding the RAID enzyme offers prolonged expression and precise spatial control, enabling long-term and adaptable neuromodulation.
