ABSTRACT In this study, we use two methyl-substituted organic ligands 5-methylisophthalic acid (H2mica) and 1,3-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)propane (L) as the co-linkers to produce a water-stable Cu(II)-containing coordination polymer {[Cu(mica)(L)2]·H2O}n (1) under the… Click to show full abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, we use two methyl-substituted organic ligands 5-methylisophthalic acid (H2mica) and 1,3-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)propane (L) as the co-linkers to produce a water-stable Cu(II)-containing coordination polymer {[Cu(mica)(L)2]·H2O}n (1) under the solvothermal condition. Furthermore, the protective effect of 1 on schizophrenia mice was evaluated in vivo. Firstly, the relative expression level of the dopamine transporter in the mesencephalic limbic system of schizophrenia was detected with RT-PCR. Then, the content of the dopamine released by the mesencephalic limbic system was measured with ELISA assay. Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis was used to detect the percentage of the apoptotic dopaminergic neuron. The relative expression of the Wnt1-Nkx2.2 was measured with RT-PCR. Graphical abstract
