The accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which is composed of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates, is the classic neuropathology associated with cognitive dysfunction in tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is an emerging theory suggesting that dysregulation in cerebral iron may contribute to NFT formation. Iron is speculated to bind to tau and induce conformational changes of the protein, potentially leading to subsequent aggregation and cognitive decline. Deferiprone (DFP) is a clinically a
