Cu²⁺-Histidine

Neuroactive Metal-Drug Complex (MDC)

Overview

Cu²⁺-Histidine is a prototype MDC engineered to address oxidative stress in neurological disorders. Copper ions provide redox modulation while histidine aids in cellular uptake and targeting of inflamed or ischemic tissue zones.

Mechanism of Action

  • Redox cycling of Cu²⁺ interacts with reactive oxygen species (ROS)
  • Timed ligand dissociation releases Cu²⁺ in response to oxidative microenvironments
  • Histidine serves as a chelating guide for enhanced BBB penetration

Key Properties

  • ROS-triggered release dynamics
  • Suitable for chronic inflammation targeting
  • Demonstrated stability in simulated CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)

Application

Therapeutic Class: Neurodegenerative Disorders

Intended for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and post-stroke inflammation management.

Neuro ROS-Responsive

Development Stage

Preclinical Evaluation
