formic acid and Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive

formic acid has been researched along with Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive in 1 studies

formic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
formic acid : The simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. Induces severe metabolic acidosis and ocular injury in human subjects.

Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive: A degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by balance difficulties; OCULAR MOTILITY DISORDERS (supranuclear ophthalmoplegia); DYSARTHRIA; swallowing difficulties; and axial DYSTONIA. Onset is usually in the fifth decade and disease progression occurs over several years. Pathologic findings include neurofibrillary degeneration and neuronal loss in the dorsal MESENCEPHALON; SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS; RED NUCLEUS; pallidum; dentate nucleus; and vestibular nuclei. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1076-7)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In cases of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) the treatment of tissue sections with formic acid (FA) disclosed a neurofilament epitope in subcortical straight (SF) and paired helical (PHF) filaments."1.28Formic acid treatment exposes hidden neurofilament and tau epitopes in abnormal cytoskeletal filaments from patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and Alzheimer's disease.
