Chelation of redox-active metals and suppression of oxidative cross-linking reduce formation of toxic tau oligomers rather than binding mature fibrils directly.
Rutin engages exposed tau aggregation motifs and lowers early oligomer nucleation, with strongest support expected from cell-free seeding and structural footprinting assays.
