# FcRn Transport Bypass Strategy: A Novel Approach to CNS Antibody Delivery
## Introduction
The development of therapeutic antibodies for neurodegenerative diseases has been constrained by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a specialized endothelial structure that restricts the paracellular and transcellular movement of large molecules. While FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor, encoded by *FCGRT*) mediates bidirectional transport of IgG across the BBB and other epithelial barriers, this endogenous pathw
Covalent conjugation of SPMs (RvD1, NPD1) to the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidylcholine creates MFSD2A-compatible prodrugs actively transported across CNS endothelium, where intracellular PLA2 releases the bioactive SPM moiety. This bypasses reliance on passive transcellular diffusion for polyhydroxylated, carboxylate-bearing SPMs.
