The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(7)H(18)N(2)O)(2)[Cd(2)Cl(8)], comprises one 4-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-2-methyl-piperazine-1,4-diium dication and a half [Cd(2)Cl(8)](4-) anion. The two Cd atoms are each coordinated by two bridging Cl atoms and three terminal Cl atoms and the [Cd(2)Cl(8)](4-) anion is located on an inversion centre. The crystal structure consists of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bond...

AIMS Because ceramide accumulates in several forms of cardiovascular disease and ceramide-induced apoptosis may involve the volume-sensitive Cl(-) current, I(Cl,swell), we assessed whether ceramide activates I(Cl,swell). METHODS AND RESULTS I(Cl,swell) was measured in rabbit ventricular myocytes by whole-cell patch clamp after isolating anion currents. Exogenous C(2)-ceramide (C(2)-Cer), a me...
