The iron chelator, PBT434, modulates transcellular iron trafficking in brain microvascular endothelial cells.

Iron and other transition metals, such as copper and manganese, are essential for supporting brain function, yet over-accumulation is cytotoxic. This over-accumulation of metals, particularly iron, is common to several neurological disorders; these include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's...
