“…[ 253 ] Clinical antiepileptic drugs such as PHT, carbamazepine (CBZ), and lamotrigine (LTG) have been encapsulated within various nanoplatforms to gain several benefits, including improved bioavailability, enhanced BBB permeation, avoidance of first‐pass liver metabolism, reduced drug resistance, and mitigation of side effects. [ 253 , 255 , 256 , 257 ] For instance, conventional administration of CBZ is hampered by several factors, including autoinduction of liver enzymes leading to rapid metabolism, a short half‐life time, a narrow therapeutic window, susceptibility to side effects, and efflux transporters limiting brain access. To address these challenges, intranasal delivery of CBZ‐loaded carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) NPs (denoted ‘CBZ‐NPs’) has been proposed as a solution.…”
