We report on a patient who developed severe lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) and neurotoxicity, despite recommended serum lithium levels. Hydrochlorothiazide and indomethacin appeared effective antipolyuric drugs, which led to a normalization of serum osmolality. After re-initiating lithium therapy, with lithium levels around 0.3 mmol/l, recurrence of NDI or neurotoxicity was not observed, despite discontinuation of indomethacin and hydrochlorothiazide. Together with hypothyroidism, NDI and neurotoxicity must be considered in lethargic lithium-treated patients.

Genetic, neuropathological and biochemical investigations have revealed meaningful relationships between aluminum (Al) exposure and neurotoxic and hematotoxic damage. Hence, intensive efforts are being made to minimize the harmful effects of Al. Moreover, boron compounds are used in a broad mix of industries, from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to agriculture.

The process of protein misfolding and aggregation to form neurotoxic species is strongly implicated in most of the neurodegenerative disorders. In particular, amyloid beta (Aβ) misfolding and aggregation is central to pathophysiological processes of Alzheimer's disease. The development of aggregation modulators has enormous implications in the discovery of effective therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease.

Exposure of infant animals, including non-human primates (NHPs), to anaesthetic drugs causes apoptotic death of neurons and oligodendrocytes (oligos) and results in long-term neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI). Moreover, retrospective clinical studies document an association between anaesthesia exposure of human infants and significant increase in NDI. These findings pose a potentially serious dilemma because millions of human infants are exposed to anaesthetic drugs every year as part of routine medical care.
