Abstract
In article 10.1002/cbic.202400319, Simon H. Friedman and co-workers have shown that a di-zinc complex (green circles and purple lines) can selectively dissolve crystalline calcium pyrophosphate (blue circles and red/orange space filling structure), while minimally dissolving hydroxy apatite, the main inorganic component of bone (cyan). It is effective because the complex pre-organizes electrostatically complementary zinc ions which then displace the crystalline calcium ions. Calcium pyrophosphate is the causative agent in pseudo-gout, a disease that affects millions.
在文章 10.1002/cbic.202400319 中,西蒙-弗里德曼(Simon H. Friedman)及其合作者展示了一种二锌复合物(绿色圆圈和紫色线条)可以选择性地溶解结晶焦磷酸钙(蓝色圆圈和红色/橙色空间填充结构),同时将骨的主要无机成分羟基磷灰石(青色)溶解到最低程度。它之所以有效,是因为复合物预先组织了静电互补锌离子,然后将结晶钙离子置换出来。焦磷酸钙是影响数百万人的假性痛风的致病因子。
