Controllable porosity conversion of metal-organic frameworks composed of natural ingredients for drug delivery

Abstract

Two extremely rare β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) supported metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), CD-MOF-1 and CD-MOF-2, were induced to crystallize for the first time through a template-induced approach. The targeted CD-MOFs were employed to perform controlled drug delivery and cytotoxicity assays that confirmed their favourable biological potential of being used as drug carriers.

Heterostructured Bi2S3@NH2-MIL-125(Ti) nanocomposite as a bifunctional photocatalyst for Cr(vi) reduction and rhodamine B degradation under visible light

“…4,5 As such, MOFs and their derivatives showed potential applications in gas storage and separation, [6][7][8] catalysis, 9,10 and biomedical applications. [11][12][13] Additionally, owing to the high surface area, structural organization and adjustiability of MOFs, scientists have focused on their photocatalytic performances, such as in photocatalytic decontamination of organic pollutants, heavy metal, and photocatalytic water splitting. [14][15][16][17] For instance, the PANI/FeUiO-66 nanohybrids exhibited high photocatalytic performances toward the oxidation of various alcohol substrates.…”

A Catalyst of Pd@MIL‐101@SGO Catalyzes Epoxidation and Hydroxymethoxylation Tandem Reactions of Styrene

“…Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands have attracted more and more attention in recent years, owing to their large specific surface areas, designable micro‐mesoporous structures and excellent stability . MOFs have versatile applications, such as gas storage and separation, carbon capture, sensing, drug delivery, heterogeneous catalysis, etc. MIL‐101 (Cr) consisting of chromium ions and terephthalic acid ligands is an unique MOFs with stable chemical properties, huge specific surface areas and retractable pore structures, which is an ideal carrier for palladium nanoparticles .…”

Synthesis, Characterization, and Heterogeneous Catalytic Activity of Sulfamic Acid Functionalized Magnetic IRMOF‐3

“…In recent years a considerable attention to porous coordination polymers or metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) has been focused within a relatively short time‐frame . The current uses and the possible future applications of MOFs, including separation, storage, optical devices drug delivery,, luminescence, etc. have attracted significant research attention in this wide scientific field.…”
