Two Transition Metal Coordination Polymers: Luminescent Sensing Properties and Treatment Effect on Chronic Periodontitis by Reducing IL-6 and TNF-α Content.

Two novel sulfonic functionalized coordination polymers (CPs) {[Cd1.5(dimb)(5-sip)(H2O)3]·3H2O}n (1, dimb = 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane) and [Co2(iptz)(Hiptz)(5-sip)(H2O)]·4H2O (2, Hiptz = 1-(4-(1H-imidazole-5-yl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole) were acquired via different metal(II) salts reacting with the mixed ligands containing 1-(4-(1H-imidazole-5-yl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane and sodium 5-sulfoisophthalate (NaH2sip), respectively. Furthermore, the complex 1 based on Cd(II) could be utilized as the luminescent senor for picric acid (PA) detection in water. In bio-research, compounds 1 and 2 treatment effect on chronic periodontitis was assessed and the specific mechanism was discussed. First of all, the RT-PCR was performed to measure the HmuY and fimA genes relative expression level in P.gingivalis after treated by compounds 1 and 2. Then, the TNF-α and IL-6 content in the fluid of gingival crevicular after compounds treatment was determined with ELISA detection kit.
