PEDOT Provides Versatile Tools for Modulating Brain Activity in Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT is an organic non-toxic liquid polymer having high solubility. The most common derivative of PEDOT is PEDOT-2 and it was synthesized by coupling the aromatic ligand triterpenoid (Cannerellaellaceae, Tricophytaceae) with methyl hydroxide at a temperature of 300 degree Fahrenheit. It is colorless, transparent and odorless; however, recent clinical research has revealed that some color changes are also found in some PEDOT derivatives, specifically PEDOT-2. This organic non-toxic liquid is used as a substitute for benzene and ethylene in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, in food and drink preparation and as a stabilizer for various plastics. PEDOT, as a high charge injection material for low-frequency stimulation, has emerged as a bioelectronics and medical, therapeutic breakthrough. It has been found to possess a wide range of promising health effects, including the treatment of Parkinson's disease, circulatory system disorders, oral c...
