...These include protein binding, local cerebral capillary density and cerebral blood flow, intraparenchymal diffusion rate, movement by fluid flow along perivascular spaces and within ventricular and cisternal spaces, and CSF turnover (reviewed in Ghersi-Egea et al., 2009; Westerhout et al., 2011)....

...The blood–brain transport is restricted by the presence of the BBB and the blood–CSF barrier (BCSFB), which is located at the choroid plexuses of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles (3), as well as at the cisterna magna....

...The brain is a dynamic multi-compartmental system, in which all processes of drug entry, within brain diffusion, metabolism, binding, and elimination determine actual CNS target site concentrations (3)....
[...]
...It is known that unbound plasma concentrations may not necessarily represent the unbound brain concentrations available for target interaction, due to distributional mechanisms (3)....

...In humans, at best, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations can be obtained as a surrogate for brain target site concentrations [13-16], but the value of this surrogate is questionable [17]....

...As a surrogate for the concentrations of unbound drug at target sites, CSF concentrations are often used and considered appropriate [16,83], however, a generally applicable relationship between CSF and brain ECF concentrations is questionable [5,15,17,134]....

...This can be done, for example, by changing plasma protein binding [123,124], inhibition of a particular efflux transporter [125], blocking particular receptors [126,127], or by induction of a pathological state [113,128] and enabling us to learn about the contribution of individual processes in CNS target site kinetics [17] and dynamics [129,130]....
