A New (3, 6)-Connected Heterometallic Coordination Polymer: Therapeutic and Protective Effect on Ischemic Cerebral Infarction

Solvothermal reaction of 4,4’,4’-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H3TCA) with Ca(NO3)2·4H2O and Cd(NO3)2·4H2O successfully afforded a heterometallic compound, that is, [Cd2Ca(TCA)2(DMA)2(H2O)3]n·2n(DMA) (1, DMA = N,N’-dimethylacetamide). The structure of 1 was further characterized through EA, diffraction of single crystal X-ray, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) together with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Moreover, complex 1’s luminescent performance in solid state was also discussed at environmental temperature. The applications on the ischemic cerebral infarction therapy were evaluated, and the specific mechanism was investigated at the same time. Firstly, the hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) content in human brain microvascular endothelial cell (HBMEC) was measured with real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then, interleukin-18 and interleukin-1β content released through the HBMEC was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

New Heterometallic Compound as Luminescent Sensor for Detection of CS2 and Treatment Effect on Childhood Diabetes

The hydrothermal reaction of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, KNO3 with the dicarboxylate ligand of 2-aminoterephthalic acid (H2L) yields a new heterometallic coordination polymer with the formula of [CdK2(L)2(H2O)4]n (1). Compound 1 emits intense luminescence at ambient temperature and shows high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of CS2. Serial biological experiments were conducted to evaluate the activity of the new compound on children diabetes. First of all, after the compound treatment, the blood glucose meter was used to measure the levels of body's blood sugar. In addition to this, the relative expression levels of the insulin receptor on the liver cells were determined with real time RT-PCR.
