Alzheimer’s is a progressive and fatal brain disease that is the most common form of dementia. Its characteristic pathology includes extracellular amyloid plaques that form as a result of abnormal clearance and/or increased production of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) that are released from the amyloid precursor protein (APP).[1, 2] Metal ions, particularly Cu+/2+ and Zn2+, but also Fe2+/3+, have been implicated in two processes related to Aβ pathology: peptide aggregation and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).[3]It is speculated that both APP and Aβ might have normal roles in copper homeostasis.[4, 5] It has also been shown in vitro that Aβ can act as an antioxidant by quenching free radicals and/or by chelating copper.[6, 7] Other evidence, however, suggests that Aβ–Cu complexes are pro-oxidant and directly culpable of neurotoxicity.[8] In vitro, Aβ in the presence of copper or iron and reducing agents like ascorbate produces H2O2,[9–11] which can subsequently react with the reduced metal ions to produce OHC via the Fenton reaction [Eq.(1)].[12, 13] Metal-mediated H2O2 generation appears at an early stage during in vitro Aβ aggregation,[10, 11] which supports the notion that soluble Aβ–Cu species are responsible for the oxidative damage that is one of the earliest pathological events in Alzheimer’s disease.[14] Furthermore, copper has been shown to intensify Aβ toxicity in primary cortical neurons.[9, 10, 15] Like Cu2+, Zn2+ also promotes Aβ aggregation in vitro, but the Zn-induced aggregates could be neuroprotective.[16–18]
