Reduced oxycodone brain delivery in rats due to lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation: microdialysis insights into brain disposition and sex-specific pharmacokinetics

Abstract Background Oxycodone, a widely used opioid analgesic, has an unbound brain-to-plasma concentration ratio (Kp,uu) greater than unity, indicating active uptake across brain barriers associated with the putative proton-coupled organic cation (H+/OC) antiporter system. With this study, we aimed...
