Abstract
2,3,2 Tetramine (3,7-diazanonane-1,9-diamine) is propounded for treatment of Parkingson's Disease and dementias characterized by mitochondrial damage in view of this compound's ability to completely neutralize the dopamine-depriving effect of MPTP in laboratory animals up to 12 hours post MPTP injection, and to retain partial protection at suboptimal tissue levels for up to 36 hours. The effect of injecting combinations of MPTP and/or reducing agents and/or xenobiotics and/or depigmenting agents on Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin and Epinephrine levels demonstrated that MPTP and MPP+ act as reducing agents that mobilize copper and calcium, and sequester iron, and that the vulnerability of dopamine to these types of neurotoxins and to xenobiotics and metals can be corrected by administration of 2,3,2 tetramine that appears to redistribute metals between diverse storage pools and free metals in cytosol and regulate receptor mediated events, among other antidotal effects analogous to those of some of the endogenous polyamines.
