“…For CME@ZIF-8 characteristics, peaks are at 2485 cm –1 (O–H, carboxylic acid), 2186 cm –1 (CC, alkynes), 1968 cm –1 (X = C = Y, isocyanate/isothiocyanate), 1628 cm –1 (CC, alkenes), 1341 cm –1 (S = O, sulfate/sulfonamide), 850 cm –1 (C–H, aromatic stretch out of plane bend), and 728 cm –1 (C–X, chloride) functional groups. For PEG-Sily@CME@ZIF-8 all of the bands are same as for CME@ZIF-8, but the characteristic bands at 2908 cm –1 (C–H, alkanes) and 3428 cm –1 (N–H, amine/amides stretch) demonstrated the successful encapsulation of the conventional silymarin drug within CME@ZIF-8 MOFs, as previously reported. − …”

It is commonly known that silymarin, a phytoconstituent obtained from the Silybum marianum plant, has hepatoprotective and antioxidative properties. However, its low oral bioavailability and poor water solubility negatively impact its therapeutic efficacy. The goal of the present study was to determine the efficiency of the Cordia myxa extract-based synthesized zeolitic imidazole metal–organic framework (CME@ZIF-8 MOF) for increasing silymarin’s bioavailability. A coprecipitation technique was used to synthesize the CME@ZIF-8 and polyethylene glycol-coated silymarin-loaded MOFs (PEG-Sily@CME@ZIF-8) and a complete factorial design was used to optimize them. The crystalline size of CME@ZIF-8 was 14.7 nm and the size of PEG-Sily@CME@ZIF-8 was 17.39 nm. The loading percentage of the silymarin drug in CME@ZIF-8 was 33.5%. The optimized formulations were then characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, surface morphology, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and drug release in an in vitro medium. Additionally, a rat model was used to investigate the optimized formulation’s in vivo hepatoprotective effectiveness. The synthesized silymarin-loaded CME@ZIF-8 MOFs were distinct particles with a porous, spongelike shape and a diameter of (size) nm. Furthermore, the designed silymarin-loaded PEG-Sily@CME@ZIF-8 MOF formulation exhibited considerable silymarin release from the synthesized formula in dissolution investigations. The in vivo evaluation studies demonstrated that the prepared PEG-Sily@CME@ZIF-8 MOFs effectively exhibited a hepatoprotective effect in comparison with free silymarin in a CCl4-based induced-hepatotoxicity rat model via ameliorating the normal antioxidant enzyme levels and restoring the cellular abnormalities produced by CCl4 toxication. In combination, biologically produced CME@ZIF-8 may promise to be a viable biologically based nanocarrier that can enhance the loading and release of silymarin medication, which has low solubility in water.

“…It is observed that bare C 60 has large adsorption of dye molecules on the surface, which limits light from penetrating the catalyst leading to lower photodegradation efficiency than other catalysts. For quantitatively comparing the photodecomposition of numerous catalysts, their photo-reduction reaction may be fitted using the following expression: 84 C t = C 0 e − kt ⇒ ln( C 0 / C t ) = kt where k is the rate constant, C 0 is the initial dye concentration, and C t is the final dye concentration.
