C max: calculated maximum concentration; T max: time corresponding to C max; AUC0–120 min: partial area under the curve from 0 to 120 min; MRT0–120 min: mean residence time from 0 to 120 min; Re: relative brain targeted coefficient; Te: brain/blood drug ratio; DTI: the drug target index; i.v.: intravenous administration; i.n.: intranasal administration; p.o.: oral administration. Data are expressed as mean±SD (n=5)
