Dietary chelators as antioxidant enzyme mimetics: implications for
dietary intervention in neurodegenerative diseases.

Following recent reviews on the role of metal ions in oxidative stress
and neurodegenerative diseases, this article reports advances in the
study of dietary components for the control of these conditions. Poor
metal ion homeostasis is credited with pathological roles in the
progression of a number of disorders including Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Synthetic metal ion
chelators continue to show promise as a new therapeutic approach for
neurodegenerative disorders. Dietary chelators, unlike most vitamins,
are, however, capable of negating or even reversing the roles of metal
ions by: (i) decorporation of metal ions, (ii) redox silencing, (iii)
dissolution of deposits, and (iv) generation of an antioxidant enzyme
mimetic. This review gives a critical evaluation of recent progress in,
and potential for, dietary control of neurodegeneration on the basis of
the formation of antioxidant enzyme mimetics.
