Additionally, penicillamine (a drug used to treat Wilson's disease) reduces copper levels, which is the intended use for Wilson's disease. Further, SWOT tables (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) have been included to expose the upshots and drawbacks of the different synthetic routes. However, daily zinc supplementation at moderate or high doses over longer periods has been associated with low copper status, reduced immune function, and altered iron function ( 1).

Due to potential side effects of excess zinc, it’s best not to exceed 40 mg per day unless under medical supervision.

Chang and colleagues have hypothesized that when copper accumulates in unusual ways, this may cause amyloid plaques to build up on a nerve cell. Subcutaneous copper injections can help normalize blood copper levels, but whether these help to normalize brain copper levels depends on the type of genetic mutation involved.

But in an ethanolic solution at around 70°C, the cis isomer precipitates much quicker compared to the trans isomer, and hence leading to a shift in equilibrium away from trans, with producing only cis isomer. Most fruits and vegetables are low in copper, but it is present in wholegrains, and it is added to some breakfast cereals and other fortified foods. Copper(II) glycinate (IUPAC suggested name: bis(glycinato)copper(II)) refers to the coordination complex of copper(II) with two equivalents of glycinate, with the formula [Cu(glycinate) 2(H 2O) x] where x = 1 ( monohydrate) or 0 ( anhydrous form).In the calculation of the green metrics for the cis product, the environmental factor (E factor) was calculated by measuring the weight of the total amount of waste generated, inclusive of the ethanol and water used to wash the samples.
