Crystal structure of poly[[{μ2-1,4-bis[(1H-imid-azol-1-yl)methyl]benzene}[μ6-5-(4-carboxylatophenoxy)isophthalato]-μ3-hydroxido-dicobalt(II)] 0.25-hydrate].

The title coordination polymer, {[Co2(C15H7O7)(OH)(C14H14N4)]·0.25H2O} n , was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains two Co(2+) ions, one L (3-) anion originating from 5-(4-carb-oxy-phen-oxy)isophthalic acid (H3 L), one OH(-) ligand, one 1,4-bis-[(1H-imidazol-l-yl)meth-yl]benzene (bix) ligand and one disordered lattice water mol-ecule (occupancy 0.

Crystal structure of poly[[μ3-4,4'-(4,4'-bipyridine-2,6-diyl)dibenzoato]{μ2-4-[6-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4'-bipyridin-4'-ium-2-yl]benzoato}manganese(II)] hemi-hydrate].

The title compound, {[Mn(C24H14N2O4)(C24H16N2O4)]·0.5H2O} n , was obtained by the reaction of manganese nitrate with the ligand 4,4'-(4,4'-bi-pyridine-2,6-di-yl) di-benzoic acid under hydro-thermal conditions. The water O atom is located on a twofold rotation axis.

Crystal structure of bis-{2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol-κ(3) O,N,O'}copper(II) terephthalate.

The mol-ecular components of the title salt, [Cu(C4H11NO2)2](C8H4O4), are one Cu(II) cation O,N,O'-chelated by two tridentate 2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol ligands, and a terephthalate counter-dianion, located about a centre of inversion. The complex Cu(II) cation is located about a centre of inversion and shows typical Jahn-Teller distortion, with two short Cu-O and two short Cu-N bonds in the equatorial plane and two long Cu-O bonds to the axial atoms. The cations are arranged in sheets parallel to (100), with the centrosymmetric terephthalate anions located between the sheets.

Crystal structure of bis-{2-[bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol-κ(4) O,N,O',O''}cadmium terephthalate.

In the title salt, [Cd(C6H15NO3)2](C8H4O4), the Cd(2+) cation is coordinated by six O atoms and two N atoms from two tetra-dentate 2-[bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol ligands, displaying a distorted square-anti-prismatic coordination. The terephthalate dianion does not coordinate to the cation but is connected through O⋯H-O hydrogen bonds of medium strength to the complex cations, leading to a layered structure extending parallel to (100).

Crystal structure of bis-{2-[bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol-κ(3) O,N,O'}zinc terephthalate.

In the title salt, [Zn(C6H15NO3)2](C8H4O4), the Zn(II) cation, located on a centre of inversion, is coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two tridentate 2-[bis-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)amino]-ethanol (BHEA) ligands, giving rise to a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The terephthalate dianion, located about a centre of inversion, is not coordinated to Zn(II) but is connected through O-H⋯O contacts with [Zn(BHEA)2](2+) cations, leading to a three-dimensional crystal structure.

Crystal structure of bis-{μ-4,4'-[1,3-phenyl-enebis(-oxy)]dibenzoato-κ(4) O,O':O'',O'''}bis[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N')zinc(II)] dihydrate.

Two 4,4'-[1,3-phenyl-enebis(-oxy)]dibenzoate anions bridge two 1,10-phenanthroline-chelated Zn(II) cations about a center of inversion to generate the dinuclear title compound, [Zn2(C20H12O6)2(C12H8N2)2]·2H2O. The geometry about the Zn(II) atom is a distorted octa-hedron. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by classical O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three dimensional network.

Induction of dendritic cell-mediated T-cell activation by modified but not native low-density lipoprotein in humans and inhibition by annexin a5: involvement of heat shock proteins.

Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, where activated immunocompetent cells, including dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are abundant in plaques. Low-density lipoprotein modified either by oxidation (oxLDL) or by human group X-secreted phospholipase A2 (LDLx) and heat shock proteins (HSP), especially HSP60 and 90, have been implicated in atherosclerosis. We previously reported that Annexin A5 inhibits inflammatory effects of phospholipids, decreases vascular inflammation and improves vascular function in apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice.
