Excess copper from Alzheimer's disease

Excess copper from Alzheimer's disease can be removed using a synthesized drug that also photo-oxygenates amyloid-? plaques. Click Chemistry has been a potential option for this process. "Copper in amyloid-?-copper aggregates can catalyse an azide-alkyne cycloaddition - the classic click reaction - to turn the contents of the silica nanoparticles into a therapeutic compound."
