%X A brain-targeting nanodelivery system has been a hot topic and has undergone rapid progression. However, due to various obstacles such as the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), few nanocarriers can achieve brain-targeting through oral administration. Herein, an intelligent oral brain-targeting nanoparticle (FTY@Man NP) constructed from a PLGA-PEG skeleton loaded with fingolimod (FTY) and externally modified with mannose was designed in combination with a glucose control strategy for the multitarget treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The hydrophilic and electronegative properties of the nanoparticle facilitated its facile penetration through the mucus barrier, while the mannose ligand conferred IEB targeting abilities to the nanoparticle. Subsequently, glycemic control allowed the mannose-integrated nanoparticle to hitchhike the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) circulation across the BBB. Finally, the released FTY modulated the polarity of microglia from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 and normalized the activated astrocyte, enhancing the clearance of toxic protein Amyloid-β (Aβ) while alleviating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Notably, both in vitro and in vivo results have consistently demonstrated that the oral administration of FTY@Man NP could effectively traverse the multiple barriers, thereby exerting significant therapeutic effects. This breakthrough holds the promise of realizing a highly effective orally administered treatment for AD.
