Potential Influence of Centrally Acting Herbal Drugs on Transporters at the Blood –Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier and Blood–Brain Barrier

This article provides an updated review of transporter-mediated mechanisms by which herbal products may theoretically interact with centrally acting medications at the blood–brain barrier and blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier. Further research is required before the true clinical impact of interactions involving modulation of centrally located membrane transporters can be fully understo od.
