A Smart Metal–Organic Framework Nanomaterial for Lung Targeting

Abstract: Despite high morbidity and mortality associated with lung diseases, addressing drugs towards lung tissue remains a pending task. Particle lung filtration has been proposed for passive lung targeting and drug delivery. However, toxicity issues derived from the long-term presence of the particles must be overcome. By exploiting some of the ignored properties of nanosized metal-organic frameworks it is possible to achieve impressive antitumoral effects on experimental lung tumors, even without the need to enginee… Show more

“…In addition, PEG coating also led to a variation in the surface charge, from ζ‐potential values of −29 mV for MIL‐100(Fe), to the more neutral values of −24 and −23 mV for PEG 2kDa ‐ and PEG 5kDa ‐coated NPs, respectively. It is worth mentioning that dry PEG‐coated NPs can be easily redispersed in water maintaining the above mentioned average size, contrary to the irreversible aggregation observed for the bare MIL‐100(Fe) NP (from 129 to 235 nm) which is accompanied with a significant increase of the polydispersity in the sample (polydispersity index (PdI) increasing from <0.2 to 0.5) . This is of a great importance in view of clinical use of MOF nanocarriers.…”

“…This potentially allows the nanoMOF formulations to be administered intravenously. Since the nanoMOF were shown to spontaneously target the lung, the treatment of S. aureus pneumonia could be one of the possible application of this system.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] MOFs which are assembled by metal ions/ clusters and organic ligands possess diversified composition, tailorable structure, large surface area, and uniform cavity. [21][22][23][24] Similar to the size-dependent properties which are wellknown for nanomaterials, reducing size of MOF crystals may bring enlarged specific surface area and increased density of active sites for MOFs, leading to improved performance. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Great efforts have been also devoted to preparing nanoscale MOF crystals with controllable size and morphology, in order to achieve enhanced performance in certain applications.…”
