Summary:The review addresses the role of blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in neurological pathology, and describes epigenetic and metabolic regulators of its functional activity and structural integrity. It also provides information on the neuroprotective effects of hypoxia and hypercapnia with an assessment of their impact on the functioning of the BBB. In addition, the review provides arguments for the co-administration of drugs, which modulate BBB metabolism and permeability, and hypercapnic hypoxia to achieve a higher neuroprotective efficacy. The provided data demonstrate that there is a significant number of drugs with a high potential to increase neuroprotective efficacy when combined with hypercapnic hypoxia. These drugs include antioxidants, endothelial cell and membrane protectors, JNK inhibitors, and energotropic drugs.
