Abstract

Mounting evidence suggests a pivotal role of metal imbalances in protein misfolding and amyloid diseases.

As such, metal ions represent a promising therapeutic
target. In this context, the synthesis of chelators that also contain complementary functionalities to combat the multifactorial nature of neurodegenerative diseases is a highly topical issue. We report two new 8-hydroxyquinoline-appended cyclodextrins and highlight their multifunctional
properties, including their CuII and ZnII binding abilities, and capacity to act as antioxidants and metal-induced antiaggregants.

In particular, the latter property has been applied in
the development of an effective assay that exploits the formation of amyloid fibrils when b-lactoglobulin A is heated in the presence of metal ions.
