A girl of 10-5/12 years is described, who had diabetes mellitus from the age of 5 years on and who developed bilateral ptosis, pigment degeneration of the retina and bilateral impairment of hearing at the age of nine years. A few weeks before death she suffered from an acute gastrointestinal
An analysis is presented of 220 cases of possible neurotoxic reactions to halogenated hydroxyquinolines reported from outside Japan. In 80 cases insufficient information was available for adequate comment and in 29 a relationship to the administration of clioquinol could be excluded. Of the
No current therapies target the underlying cellular pathologies of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Model organisms provide a platform for discovering compounds that protect against the toxic, misfolded proteins that initiate these diseases. One such protein, TDP-43, is implicated in multiple
Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and accumulation of iron in substantia nigra (SN) are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). UPS dysfunction and iron misregulation may reinforce each other's contribution to the degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons. In the
The lesions caused by excess oral pyridoxine hydrochloride (150 mg/kg body weight/day) and clioquinol (200 mg/kg body weight/day), given individually and in combination to adult Beagle dogs, were evaluated. The experimental period was 100 to 112 days, except that four dogs in each of the clioquinol
BACKGROUND
There is evidence that interaction with biologically important metals, particularly copper and iron, contributes to the pathological aggregation and toxicity of the mutant huntingtin protein in HD. PBT2 is a novel 8-hydroxyquinoline drug in clinical trials for AD and HD which restores
We demonstrate mechanically flexible, organic light-emitting devices (OLED's) based on the nonpolymetric thin-film materials tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) and N, N(?) -diphenyl- N, N(?) -bis(3-methylphenyl)1- 1(?) biphenyl-4, 4(?) diamine (TPD). The single heterostructure is vacuum
Iron has been shown to accumulates at site where neurons degenerate in neurodegenerative diseases of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Friedreich ataxia. Iron is thought to participate or initiate oxidative stress via generation of
Several lines of evidence supporting the role of metal ions in amyloid aggregation, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), have turned metal ion chelation into a promising therapeutic treatment. The design of efficient chelating ligands requires proper knowledge of the electronic and
The activity of a novel enaminone derivative of 4-hydroxyquinoline, BDHQ, was screened for its effectiveness against murine schistosomiasis by electron microscopy and parasitologic studies. The correlation of these studies with serum levels of IFN-gamma and IgE is described. Two groups of 10 mice
Iron acquisition by symbiotic Rhizobium spp. is essential for nitrogen fixation in the legume root nodule symbiosis. Rhizobium leguminosarum 116, an ineffective mutant strain with a defect in iron acquisition, was isolated after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of the effective strain 1062. The pop-1
The influence of solvent polarity on nonlinear optical properties of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum (Alq3) was investigated by the degenerate four-wave mixing method at the 532 nm. It was obtained that the effective values of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χeff⟨3⟩)
As reported by some authors, clioquinol (CQ), a 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative, has produced very encouraging results in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its biological effects are most likely ascribed to complexation of specific metal ions, such as copper (II) and zinc (II), critically
Studies exploring the rate of fatigue in isolated muscle at 37 degrees C have produced mixed results. In the present study, muscle fibre bundles from the mouse foot were used to study the effect of temperature on the rate of muscle fatigue. Provided iron was excluded from the solutions, time to
Clioquinol, a 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative, is producing very encouraging results in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its biological effects are most likely ascribed to complexation of specific metal ions, such as copper(II) and zinc(II), critically associated with protein aggregation and
