A Novel Dinuclear Complex-PLC Composite Material as Fluorescent Switch in Treatment on Osteoarthritis

In this study, we synthesized a novel Co(II)-containing coordination compound (CP) [Co2(MMBA)2(HPT)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (1) through a solvothermal reaction of Co(NO3)6·6H2O with 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1 H-1,2,4-triazole (HPT) and 2-(4-methylbenzoyl)benzoic acid (HMMBA). Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed that this compound exhibited superior blue fluorescence properties compared to the original ligands. Further, aspirin (ASA) was loaded onto this CP via physical adsorption to create CP-ASA. Interestingly, the fluorescence properties of the CP decreased with the loading of the drug but were restored upon drug release. Leveraging the unique optical properties and biocompatibility of Polymer Liquid Crystal (PLC), we further encapsulated CP-ASA, forming the CP-PLC@ASA composite. The target product was confirmed through various characterization techniques including Elemental Analysis (EA), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Moreover, the biological activity of this composite was evaluated in vitro for osteoarthritis, and its potential mechanisms were explored.

Mn(II) Coordination Complex Loaded Hydrogel: Synthesis, Characterization, Fluorescence Properties, and Application in Treating Knee Arthritis

Using a mixed-ligand approach, we successfully obtained two Mn(II)-based coordination compounds, namely [Mn2(L1)(TBIP)·H2O]n (1) and [Mn2(L2)(NPTA)·H2O]n (2) (where L1 and L2 are 1,4-bis(thiabenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene and 1,2-bis(thiabenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, H2NPTA is 2-nitroterephthalic acid, and H2TBIP is 5-tert-butylisophthalic acid). Fluorescence performance testing of complexes 1 and 2 showed excellent green and blue fluorescence properties. Based on this, we further prepared HA/CMCS hydrogels using natural polysaccharides hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as raw materials and studied their internal structural characteristics using scanning electron microscopy. Using "Duhuo Jisheng Decoction" as a drug model, two metal gel scaffolds loaded with "Duhuo Jisheng Decoction" were prepared, and their potential for treating knee osteoarthritis was evaluated.

A new mixed-ligand Mn(II) coordination polymer: Protective and nursing values on renal calculus via reducing the Ca2+ concentration in urine

In the present study, via using the mixed-ligand synthesis approach, a new Mn(II)-containing coordination polymer (CP) with the chemical formula of {[Mn3(timb)2(SO3–IPA)2(H2O)2]·8H2O} n (1) has been successfully prepared via reaction of MnCl2·4H2O with the tripodal linker 1,3,5-tris(2-methylimidazole-1-yl)benzene (timb) and aromatic dicarboxylic acid ligand –SO3 group functionalized isophthalic acid (H2IPA) ligand. Furthermore, the biological activity of the new compound on renal calculus was assessed, and the related mechanism was explored as well. The Calcium Colorimetric Assay was conducted and the concentration of Ca2+ in urine was determined. The western blotting assay was conducted and the expression levels of the osteopontin (OPN) in the distal tubule were measured. Molecular docking simulation revealed that the carboxyl, iminazole, and sulfonate groups were all involving into the binding interactions with the target protein, and therefore exhibited strong biological activity.

With the reaction between Cu(NO3)2·3H2O and 4-(2 ${}^{\prime }$ ,3 ${}^{\prime }$ -dicarboxylphenoxy) benzoic acid (H3L), a semirigid trichromatic acid ligand, in the presence of N-donor co-ligand 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethylene (bpe), two novel mixed-ligand coordination polymers (CPs), i.e., [Cu(H2L)2(bpe)(H2O)2]bpe·(H2O)4 (1) and [Cu3(L)2(bpe)3(H2O)4]·(H2O)6 (2), have been created under different solvent systems. Furthermore, the biological activity of compounds was evaluated, and the related mechanism was explored as well. Firstly, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to measure the content of coagulation factors in the serum after compound treatment. In addition to this, the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was conducted, and the inflammatory response in the brain was also determined.
