Spatial Distribution of (R)-salbutamol in Rat Brain Following Nasal and Intravenous Administration Using DESI-MS

Recent studies have shown that β2-Adrenoreceptor is a regulator of the a-synuclein gene driving risk of Parkinson’s disease. The β2-AR agonist (R)-salbutamol, eutomer of rac-salbutamol, may hold therapeutic potential for Parkinson’s disease (PD) following nasal administration. In this study, we use desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) to analyze spatial distribution of (R)-salbutamol in rat brain following nasal and...
