  1. Regulation of copper and iron homeostasis by metal chelators: a possible chemotherapy for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Accounts of chemical research 2015-05-06 Treatments

    These studies contribute to the understanding of the physicochemical properties of the tetradentate copper ligands compared with bidentate ligands like clioquinol.

  2. Therapeutic potential of copper chelation with triethylenetetramine in managing diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Drugs 2011-07-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Our recent phase II proof-of-principle studies in patients with type 2 diabetes and in nonclinical models of diabetes have helped to define the pathogenetic defects in copper regulation, and have shown that they are reversible by TETA.

  3. The amyloid precursor protein of Alzheimer's disease in the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I)

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 1996-03-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The transition metal ion copper(II) has a critical role in chronic neurologic diseases.
