    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition to be used for increasing the blood-brain barrier permeability, the composition including a nitric oxide donor, and a use of the composition. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition to be used for increasing the blood-brain barrier permeability, the composition including a nitric oxide donor capable of carrying nitric oxide (NO), wherein the nitric oxide delivered to a site adjacent to the blood-brain barrier by the nitric oxide donor activates matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9), and the activated MMP-9 weakens a tight junction between a cerebrovascular endothelial cell and a cerebrovascular endothelial cell to increase the blood-brain barrier permeability, and to a use of the composition.
