2,3-Butanedione (Diacetyl), the molecule implicated in the disease known as popcorn lung, has now been implicated in amyloid-beta peptide toxicity associated with Alzheimers disease. Diacetyl accelerates amyloid-beta aggregation-a hallmark of Alzheimers disease. These preliminary finding raise the possibility of long-term neurological toxicity mediated by DA.
