Certain psychiatric side-effects derived from the drug have led people to seriously consider the neuroprotective aspects. Research then showed that Montelukast could rejuvenate aged brains in animals, suggesting that the leukotriene receptor antagonist may have a similar effect in humans.
A huge barrier to the effectiveness of Montelukast for human use is entering the bloodstream, then crossing the blood-brain barrier. Montelukast does the latter very poorly as a tablet, however, it has been shown to do this easily and in significant quantities when administered as an oral film.
