This impacted greatly the pharmaceutical interventions of various neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumours and impairment of the CNS [1].BBB is the main route for the therapeutic…

characterized by the growth of numerous tumors in different parts of the body. It is an inherited disorder causing benign and malignant tumors to develop in the central nervous system and viscera.
