CA and the oxidized form of EC (ECox) inhibited tau aggregation in vitro due to their interaction with the two cysteine residues in tau. A synthetic peptide, SKCGS, representing the actual tau sequence, identified the thiol as reacting with CA and ECox which necessitates of cysteine for aggregation inhibition by CA. PubMed:23531502

We found that CA (lane 4) and EC (lane 6) substantially prevented the H2O2 induced formation of the high molecular weight species. PubMed:23531502

We were prompted to carry out this study because Acr is mainly localized in the neurons [54], is found in association with NFTs and dystrophic neurites surrounding senile plaques [55], is highly toxic to neurons, is found elevated 2–5 fold in affected regions of AD brain. EC can sequester highly reactive and toxic byproducts of oxidation such as acrolein. PubMed:23531502
