Chelator PBT2 Forms a Ternary Cu<sup>2+</sup> Complex with β-Amyloid That Has High Stability but Low Specificity

The metal chelator PBT2 (5,7-dichloro-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline) acts as a terdentate ligand capable of forming binary and ternary Cu<sup>2+</sup> complexes. It was clinically trialed as an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapy but failed to progress beyond phase II. The β-...
