Abstract

A new Zn(II)-bearing metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, {[Zn2(L)2(H2O)]·8H2O·DMF}n (1) has been generated via applying 4,4′-([2,3′-bipyridine]-4,6-diyl) dibenzoic acid (H2L), a pyridine-carboxylic acid ligand under the solvothermal reaction conditions. In the aqueous solution, complex 1 could be utilized as the fluorescent sensor for the simultaneous detection of Cr2O72− ion and CrO42− ion with low limits of detection and high sensitivity. It is important that this luminescent material can be regenerated quickly and the sensing ability of this luminescent material can be reused for three times. Furthermore, the assessment of the compound’s application values against the Tuberculosis care was carried out and simultaneously its relevant mechanism was investigated. First of all, the bacterial burden in the lung macrophages was measured with plate micro-dilution method. Besides, the signaling pathway of JAK/STAT activation was evaluated with real time RT-PCR. Molecular docking simulation reveals that the polar oxygens are the active sites that could form binding interactions the protein.
