Hi, this is my first time using this network because I am stumped by this. I've been researching this for 
a while now and still cannot come up with a definite answer, One shaky theory says that P-Glycoprotein 
prevents it crossing the BBB. But other than that I have had no luck. Can you please help me find an 
answer to this, it's been bothering me for some time now. Thanks very much, 
                                                                                                              Thioxane
