  Objective: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with heart disease is correlated with decreased exercise capacity and poor health-related quality of life, and predicts worse cardiovascular outcomes, especially for elderly patients. IDA can worsen cardiac function that can be monitored with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis, providing important information about cardiac health. In a recent study… Read Abstract

  Context: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged late in 2019 is the etiologic agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). There is an urgent need to develop curative and preventive therapeutics to limit the current pandemic and to prevent the re-emergence of Covid-19. This study aimed to assess the in vitro activity of copper… Read Abstract

  The trace element copper is vital to the healthy functioning of organisms. Copper is used in a multitude of cellular activities including respiration, angiogenesis, and immune responses. Like other metals, copper homeostasis is a tightly regulated process. Copper is transported from dietary intake through the serum and into cells via a variety of transporters. There… Read Abstract

• Survey of Ophthalmology. 2013 Nov Iron, zinc, and copper in retinal physiology and disease.

  The essential trace metals iron, zinc, and copper play important roles both in retinal physiology and disease. They are involved in various retinal functions such as phototransduction, the visual cycle, and the process of neurotransmission, being tightly bound to proteins and other molecules to regulate their structure and/or function or as unbound free metal ions.… Read Abstract

• Nature. 2014 May Copper is required for oncogenic BRAF signalling and tumorigenesis.

  The BRAF kinase is mutated, typically Val 600→Glu (V600E), to induce an active oncogenic state in a large fraction of melanomas, thyroid cancers, hairy cell leukaemias and, to a smaller extent, a wide spectrum of other cancers. BRAF(V600E) phosphorylates and activates the MEK1 and MEK2 kinases, which in turn phosphorylate and activate the ERK1 and… Read Abstract

• Oncotarget. 2016 Jun Copper as a target for prostate cancer therapeutics: copper-ionophore pharmacology and altering systemic copper distribution.

  Copper-ionophores that elevate intracellular bioavailable copper display significant therapeutic utility against prostate cancer cells in vitro and in TRAMP (Transgenic Adenocarcinoma of Mouse Prostate) mice. However, the pharmacological basis for their anticancer activity remains unclear, despite impending clinical trails. Herein we show that intracellular copper levels in prostate cancer, evaluated in vitro and across disease… Read Abstract

• International Journal of Pharmaceutics. 2007 Jun Role of copper gluconate/triethanolamine in irinotecan encapsulation inside the liposomes.

  A novel method for encapsulating irinotecan into liposomes containing copper gluconate buffered to pH 7.0 with triethanolamine (TEA) has recently been developed. In the present study, the mechanism dictating drug encapsulation and retention inside those liposomes was investigated. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that irinotecan interacted with copper gluconate/TEA in solution. Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicated… Read Abstract
