Morajkar RV, Fatrekar AP, Vernekar AA. Approach of a small protein to the biomimetic bis-(μ-oxo) dicopper active-site installed in MOF-808 pores with restricted access perturbs substrate selectivity of oxidase nanozyme. Chem Sci 2024; 15:10810-10822. [PMID: 39027301 PMCID: PMC11253172 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc02136c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Advances in nanozymes have taken shape over the past few years in several domains. However, persisting challenging limitations of selectivity, specificity, and efficiency necessitate careful attention to aid in the development of next-generation artificial enzymes. Despite nanozymes having significant therapeutic and biotechnological prospects, the multienzyme mimetic activities can compromise their intended applications. Furthermore, the lack of substrate selectivity can hamper crucial biological pathways. While working on addressing the challenges of nanozymes, in this work, we aim to highlight the interplay between the substrates and bis-(μ-oxo) dicopper active site-installed MOF-808 for selectively mimicking oxidase. This oxidase mimetic with a small pore-aperture (1.4 nm), similar to the opening of enzyme binding pockets, projects a tight control over the dynamics and the reactivity of substrates, making it distinct from the general oxidase nanozymes. Interestingly, the design and the well-regulated activity of this nanozyme effectively thwart DNA from approaching the active site, thereby preventing its oxidative damage. Crucially, we also show that despite these merits, the oxidase selectivity is compromised by small proteins such as cytochrome c (Cyt c), having dimensions larger than the pore aperture of MOF-808. This reaction lucidly produces water molecules as a result of four electron transfer to an oxygen molecule. Such unintended side reactivities warrant special attention as they can perturb redox processes and several cellular energy pathways. Through this study, we provide a close look at designing next-generation artificial enzymes that can address the complex challenges for their utility in advanced applications.

Abstract
Intra-articular drugs used to treat osteoarthritis (OA) often suffer from poor pharmacokinetics and stability. Nano-platforms as drug delivery systems for drug delivery are promising for OA therapy. In this study, we reported an M1 macrophage-targeted delivery system Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 based on folic acid (FA) -modified metal-organic framework (MOF) loaded with baicalin (Bai) as antioxidant agent for OA therapy. With outstanding biocompatibility and high drug loading efficiency, Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 could be specifically uptaken by LPS-induced macrophages to serve as a potent ROS scavenger, gradually releasing Bai at the subcellular level to reduce ROS production, modulate macrophage polarization to M2, leading to alleviation of synovial inflammation in OA joints. The synergistic effect of Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 on macrophage polarization and ROS scavenging significantly improved the therapeutic efficacy of OA, which may provide a new insight into the design of OA precision therapy.

Abstract
ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) is a potential drug delivery system because of its unique properties, which include a large surface area, a large pore capacity, a large loading capacity, and outstanding stability under physiological conditions. ZIF-8 nanoparticles may be readily functionalized with targeting ligands for the identification and absorption of particular cancer cells, enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic medicines and reducing adverse effects. ZIF-8 is also pH-responsive, allowing medication release in the acidic milieu of cancer cells. Because of its tunable structure, it can be easily functionalized to design cancer-specific targeted medicines. The delivery of ZIF-8 to cancer cells can be facilitated by folic acid-conjugation. Hence, it can bind to overexpressed folate receptors on the surface of cancer cells, which holds the promise of reducing unwanted deliveries. As a result of its importance in cancer treatment, the folate-conjugated ZIF-8 was the major focus of this review.

Abstract
After entering the human body, drugs for treating diseases, which are prone to delivery and release in an uncontrolled manner, are affected by various factors. Based on this, many researchers utilize various microenvironmental changes encountered during drug delivery to trigger drug release and have proposed stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become promising stimuli-responsive agents to release the loaded therapeutic agents at the target site to achieve more precise drug delivery due to their high drug loading, excellent biocompatibility, and high stimuli-responsiveness. The MOF-based stimuli-responsive systems can respond to various stimuli under pathological conditions at the site of the lesion, releasing the loaded therapeutic agent in a controlled manner, and improving the accuracy and safety of drug delivery. Due to the changes in different physical and chemical factors in the pathological process of diseases, the construction of stimuli-responsive systems based on MOFs has become a new direction in drug delivery and controlled release. Based on the background of the rapidly increasing attention to MOFs applied in drug delivery, we aim to review various MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and their response mechanisms to various stimuli. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives of MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cancer therapy has recently emerged as a new therapeutic modality with the advantages of minimal invasiveness and negligible normal tissue toxicity over traditional cancer treatments. However, the complex microenvironment and self-protective mechanisms of tumors have suppressed the therapeutic effect of emerging antitumor modalities, which seriously hindered the transformation of these modalities to clinical settings. Due to the excellent biocompatibility, unique physicochemical properties and easy surface modification, carbon dots, as promising nanomaterials in the biomedical field, can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of emerging antitumor modalities as multifunctional nanoplatforms. In this review, the mechanism and limitations of emerging therapeutic modalities are described. Further, the recent advances related to carbon dot-based nanoplatforms in overcoming the therapeutic barriers of various emerging therapies are systematically summarized. Finally, the prospects and potential obstacles for the clinical translation of carbon dot-based nanoplatforms in tumor therapy are also discussed. This review is expected to provide a reference for nanomaterial design and its development for the efficacy enhancement of emerging therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Low-concentration CO2 capture is particularly challenging because it requires highly selective adsorbents that can effectively capture CO2 from gas mixtures containing other components such as nitrogen and water vapor. In this study, we have successfully developed a series of controlled alkali-etched MOF-808-X (where X ranges from 0.04 to 0.10), the FT-IR and XPS characterizations revealed the presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the zirconium clusters. Low-concentration CO2 capture experiments demonstrated improved CO2 capture performance of the MOF-808-X series compared to the pristine MOF-808 under dry conditions (400 ppm CO2). Among them, MOF-808-0.07 with abundant Zr-OH sites showed the highest CO2 capture capacity of 0.21 mmol g-1 under dry conditions, which is 70 times higher than that of pristine MOF-808. Additionally, MOF-808-0.07 exhibited fast adsorption kinetics, stable CO2 capture under humid air conditions (with a relative humidity of 30%), and stable regeneration even after 50 cycles of adsorption and desorption. In situ DRIFTS and 13C CP-MAS ssNMR characterizations revealed that the enhanced low-concentration CO2 capture is attributed to the formation of a stable six-membered ring structure through the interaction of intramolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring Zr-OH sites via a chemisorption mechanism.

Abstract
During the drug release process, the drug is transferred from the starting point in the drug delivery system to the surface, and then to the release medium. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) potentially have unique features to be utilized as promising carriers for drug delivery, due to their suitable pore size, high surface area, and structural flexibility. The loading and release of various therapeutic drugs through the MOFs are effectively accomplished due to their tunable inorganic clusters and organic ligands. Since the drug release rate percentage (RES%) is a significant concern, a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method was applied to achieve an accurate model predicting the drug release rate from MOFs. Structure-based descriptors, including the number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, along with two other adjusted descriptors, were applied for obtaining the best multilinear regression (BMLR) model. Drug release rates from 67 MOFs were applied to provide a precise model. The coefficients of determination (R2) for the training and test sets obtained were both 0.9999. The root mean square error for prediction (RMSEP) of the RES% values for the training and test sets were 0.006 and 0.005, respectively. To examine the precision of the model, external validation was performed through a set of new observations, which demonstrated that the model works to a satisfactory degree.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanosized metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) have advanced rapidly over the past decade to develop drug delivery systems (DDSs). These material systems still lack precise and selective cellular targeting, as well as the fast release of the quantity of drugs that are simply adsorbed within and on the external surface of nanocarriers, which hinders their application in the drug delivery. Herein, we designed a biocompatible Zr-based NMOF with an engineered core and the hepatic tumor-targeting ligand, glycyrrhetinic acid grafted to polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the shell. The improved core-shell serves as a superior nanoplatform for efficient controlled and active delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) against hepatic cancer cells (HepG2 cells). In addition to their high loading capacity of 23%, the developed nanostructure DOX@NMOF-PEI-GA showed an acidic pH-stimulated response and extended the drug release time to 9 days as well as enhanced the selectivity toward the tumor cells. Interestingly, the DOX-free nanostructures showed a minimal toxic effect on both normal human skin fibroblast (HSF) and hepatic cancer cell line (HepG2), but the DOX-loaded nanostructures exhibited a superior killing effect toward the hepatic tumor, thus opening the way for the active drug delivery and achieving efficient cancer therapy applications.

Abstract
Nanometal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) are porous network structures composed of metal ions or metal clusters through self-assembly. NMOFs have been considered as a promising nano-drug delivery system due to their unique properties such as pore and flexible structures, large specific surface areas, surface modifiability, non-toxic and degradable properties. However, NMOFs face a series complex environment during in vivo delivery. Therefore, surface functionalization of NMOFs is vital to ensure that the structure of NMOFs remain stable during delivery, and can overcome physiological barriers to deliver drugs more accurately to specific sites, and achieve controllable release. In this review, the first part summarizes the physiological barriers that NMOFs faced during drug delivery after intravenous injection and oral administration. The second part summarizes the current main ways to load drugs into NMOFs, mainly including pore adsorption, surface attachment, formation of covalent/coordination bonds between drug molecules and NMOFs, and in situ encapsulation. The third part is the main review part of this paper, which summarizes the surface modification methods of NMOFs used in recent years to overcome the physiological barriers and achieve effective drug delivery and disease therapy, which are mainly divided into physical modifications and chemical modifications. Finally, the full text is summarized and prospected, with the hope to provide ideas for the future development of NMOFs as drug delivery.

Abstract
The study's primary goal was to enhance medicinal potential of piperine (PIP)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (PIP@ZIF-8) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cognitive impairments in zebrafish. Herein, PIP@ZIF-8 was synthesized via easy, economical and reproducible ultrasonication method followed by spray drying technology. ZIF-8's structural integrity has been confirmed by PXRD, and even after PIP was encapsulated, the structure of ZIF-8 remained unchanged. Pure ZIF-8 and PIP@ZIF-8 were subjected to TEM analysis, which revealed hexagonal morphology with a nanosize range. FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopy studies confirmed the drug loading of ZIF-8. Studies on in vitro release revealed 71.48 ± 7.21% and 34.56 ± 5.35% PIP release from PIP@ZIF-8 and unformulated PIP, respectively in pH 7.4. The highest antioxidant scavenging results were obtained with vitamin C (73.77 ± 6.7%) at an intensity of 200 μg/ml, though it was 65.09 ± 2.5% and 57.99 ± 3.1% for PIP@ZIF-8 and PIP, respectively. In vivo studies on zebrafish showed that DOX administration remarkably impaired cognitive activity in T-Maze, and downregulated spatial memory and locomotor activity in the open field test. In addition, DOX administration caused a downregulation in GSH and SOD levels and increase in LPO, AChE and TNF-α levels compared to the vehicle group along with changes in brain histopathology. Further, PIP@ZIF-8 reversed the DOX-induced cognitive impairments by its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. It can be concluded that PIP@ZIF-8 has a promising therapeutic potential against the chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairments in zebrafish.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, a multitude of strategies have been explored for the means of protection and shielding against virus particles: filtration equipment (PPE) has been widely used in daily life. In this work, we explore another approach in the form of deactivating coronavirus particles through selective binding onto the surface of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to further the fight against the transmission of respiratory viruses. MOFs are attractive materials in this regard, as their rich pore and surface chemistry can easily be modified on demand. The surfaces of three MOFs, UiO-66(Zr), UiO-66-NH2(Zr), and UiO-66-NO2(Zr), have been functionalized with repurposed antiviral agents, namely, folic acid, nystatin, and tenofovir, to enable specific interactions with the external spike protein of the SARS virus. Protein binding studies revealed that this surface modification significantly improved the binding affinity toward glycosylated and non-glycosylated proteins for all three MOFs. Additionally, the pores for the surface-functionalized MOFs can adsorb water, making them suitable for locally dehydrating microbial aerosols. Our findings highlight the immense potential of MOFs in deactivating respiratory coronaviruses to be better equipped to fight future pandemics.

Abstract
Nowadays, nanozymes have not only been used as biosensors in the detection field, but also their application prospects in disease treatment have been explored. Numerous nanomaterials have similar catalytic activities such as peroxidase, oxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase, and they can be used for antibacterial, anticancer and antioxidant therapy. Although there have been many studies on the application of nanozymes in the therapeutic field, the current nanozyme-based systems often lack targeting and ignore the harm to the surrounding normal tissues. Although promising, the biosafety of nanomaterials has always been the concern of researchers. To improve the treatment effect and reduce toxic and side effects, precision treatment has become the key. At present, a few studies have modified targeted molecules on nanozymes to achieve precise targeting through specific interaction with surface overexpression factors of bacteria or cells. Combined with the catalysis of nanozymes, the targeted treatment of diseases can be achieved. This review summarizes the current research of nanozyme systems in targeted antibacterial, anticancer and antioxidant applications. At the same time, the challenges and development prospects of nanozyme-based targeted therapy system are summarized. It is expected that this work will provide new ideas and new directions for the precise treatment of nanozymes.

Abstract
Saxitoxin (STX) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) are widely distributed and extremely harmful marine toxins, it is certainly worth to spend effort to develop facile methods to detect them in sea food for human safety. In this work, two nano-sensors were developed by combining with two zirconium fluorescence Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) with two emissions and TAMRA-labelled aptamers for STX and TTX sensing, respectively. The recognition of STX and TTX by these nano-sensors could change the structure of aptamer, which caused the blue or green emissions from NMOFs (energy donor) decreased while red emission from TAMRA-labelled aptamers (energy acceptor) increased owing to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect. Based on this strategy, NMOFs-Aptasensor 1 and NMOFs-Aptasensor 2 were developed for the ratiometric detection, with detection limits of 1.17 nM and 3.07 nM for STX and TTX, respectively. Moreover, NMOFs-Aptasensors displayed significant stability, pH-independence, selectivity and NMOFs-Aptasensors were successfully applied in shellfish sample for toxin sensing.

Abstract
Codelivery of chemotherapeutics via nanomaterials has attracted much attention over the last decades due to improved drug delivery to tumor tissues, decreased systemic effects, and increased therapeutic efficacies. High porosities, large pore volumes and surface areas, and tunable structures have positioned metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as promising drug delivery systems (DDSs). In particular, nanoscale Zr-linked MOFs such as MOF-808 offer notable advantages for biomedical applications such as high porosity, good stability, and biocompatibility. In this study, we report efficient dual drug delivery of floxuridine (FUDR) and carboplatin (CARB) loaded in MOF-808 nanoparticles to cancer cells. The nanoparticles were further functionalized by a poly(acrylic acid-mannose acrylamide) (PAAMAM) glycopolymer coating to obtain a highly selective DDS in cancer cells and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy. While MOF-808 was found to enhance the individual therapeutic effects of FUDR and CARB toward cancerous cells, combining FUDR and CARB was seen to cause a synergistic effect, further enhancing the cytotoxicity of the free drugs. Enhancement of CARB loading and therefore cytotoxicity of the CARB-loaded MOFs could be induced through a modified activation protocol, while coating of MOF-808 with the PAAMAM glycopolymer increased the uptake of the nanoparticles in cancer cells used in the study and offered a particularly significant selective drug delivery with high cytotoxicity in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. These results show how the enhancement of cytotoxicity is possible through both nanovector delivery and synergistic treatment, and that MOF-808 is a viable candidate for future drug delivery studies.

Abstract
The application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in drug delivery has advanced rapidly over the past decade, showing huge progress in the development of novel systems. Although a large number of versatile MOFs that can carry and release multiple compounds have been designed and tested, one of the main limitations to their translation to the clinic is the limited biological understanding of their interaction with cells and the way they penetrate them. This is a crucial aspect of drug delivery, as MOFs need to be able not only to enter into cells but also to release their cargo in the correct intracellular location. While small molecules can enter cells by passive diffusion, nanoparticles (NPs) usually require an energy-dependent process known as endocytosis. Importantly, the fate of NPs after being taken up by cells is dependent on the endocytic pathways they enter through. However, no general guidelines for MOF particle internalization have been established due to the inherent complexity of endocytosis as a mechanism, with several factors affecting cellular uptake, namely NP size and surface chemistry. In this review, we cover recent advances regarding the understanding of the mechanisms of uptake of nano-sized MOFs (nanoMOFs)s, their journey inside the cell, and the importance of biological context in their final fate. We examine critically the impact of MOF physicochemical properties on intracellular trafficking and successful cargo delivery. Finally, we highlight key unanswered questions on the topic and discuss the future of the field and the next steps for nanoMOFs as drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Nanobioconjugates are nanoscale drug delivery vehicles that have been conjugated to or decorated with biologically active targeting ligands. These targeting ligands can be antibodies, peptides, aptamers, or small molecules such as vitamins or hormones. Most research studies in this field have been devoted to targeting cancer. Moreover, the nanostructures can be designed with an additional level of targeting by being designed to be stimulus-responsive or "smart" by a judicious choice of materials to be incorporated into the hybrid nanostructures. This stimulus could be an acidic pH, raised temperature, enzyme, ultrasound, redox potential, an externally applied magnetic field, or laser irradiation. In this case, the smart capability can increase the accumulation at the tumor site or the on-demand drug release, while the ligand ensures selective binding to the tumor cells. The present review highlights some interesting studies classified according to the nanostructure material. These materials include natural substances (polysaccharides), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (and halloysite nanotubes), metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles (gold and silver), and polymeric micelles.

Abstract
The antitumor activity of triptolide (TP) has received widespread attention, although its toxicity severely limits its clinical application. Therefore, the design of a targeted drug delivery system (TDDS) has important application prospects in tumor treatment. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with high drug-carrying capacity and good biocompatibility, have aroused widespread interest for drug delivery systems. Herein, folic acid (FA) and 5-carboxylic acid fluorescein (5-FAM) were used to modify Fe-MIL-101 to construct a functionalized nano-platform (5-FAM/FA/TP@Fe-MIL-101) for the targeted delivery of the anti-tumor drug triptolide and realize in vivo fluorescence imaging. Compared with Fe-MIL-101, functionalized nanoparticles not only showed better targeted therapy efficiency, but also reduced the systemic toxicity of triptolide. In addition, the modification of 5-FAM facilitated fluorescence imaging of the tumor site and realized the construction of an integrated nano-platform for fluorescence imaging and treatment. Both in vitro and in vivo studies of functionalized nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent fluorescence imaging and synergistic targeting anticancer activity with negligible systemic toxicity. The development of functional nano-platform provides new ideas for the design of MOF-based multifunctional nano-drug delivery system, which can be used for precise treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a key serum tumor marker which is overexpressed in all types of adenocarcinomas. Therefore, establish the ultrasensitive, accurate and rapid method for CEA detection is essential for reducing the mortality of cancer. Here, a bimetallic organic framework Cu/UiO-66 was synthesized through the simple two-step hydrothermal method and used to construct a "fluorescence turn-on" analytical method for CEA detection. Cu/UiO-66 can adsorb CEA aptamers modified with FAM (CEA/FAM-Apt) and take place photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between Cu/UiO-66 and FAM, resulting in the fluorescence of the FAM is quenched. When CEA is present, CEA and CEA/FAM-Apt are tightly combined, making CEA/FAM-Apt far away from the Cu/UiO-66 surface. As a result, the fluorescence intensity of the system was significantly restored. Under optimal conditions, the proposed "fluorescence turn-on" method can detect CEA as low as 0.01 ng mL-1 in a range of 0.01-0.3 ng mL-1. Besides, this analytical method owns good selectivity, reproducibility and serum applicability, which provides a new platform for the direct detection of clinical diagnosis-related markers.

Abstract
In the last decade, nanosized metal organic frameworks (NMOFs) have gained an increasing applicability as multifunctional nanocarriers for drug delivery in cancer therapy. However, only a limited number of platforms have been reported that can serve as an effective targeted drug delivery system (DDSs). Herein, we report rational design and construction of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanoscale Zr (IV)-based NMOF (NH2-UiO-66) decorated with active tumor targeting moieties; folic acid (FA), lactobionic acid (LA), glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), and dual ligands of LA and GA, as efficient multifunctional DDSs for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. The success of modification was exhaustively validated by various structural, thermal and microscopic techniques. Biocompatibility studies indicated the safety of pristine NH2-UiO-66 against HSF cells whereas DOX-loaded dual-ligated NMOF was found to possess superior cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells which was further confirmed by flow cytometry. Moreover, fluorescence microscopy was used for monitoring cellular uptake in comparison to the non-ligated and mono-ligated NMOF. Additionally, the newly developed dual-ligated NMOF depicted a pH-responsiveness towards the DOX release. These findings open new avenues in designing various NMOF-based DDSs that actively target hepatic cancer to achieve precise therapy.

Abstract
In recent year, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been displayed to be a category of promising drug delivery systems because of their crystalline structure, the potential of further functionality, and high porosity. In this research, graphene oxide was synthesized from pure graphite via hummer method and then MgFe2O4 nanoparticles was incorporated into the synthesized ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks which followed with loading on the surfaces of graphene oxide. In continue, tetracycline as an antibiotic drug was loaded on the surfaces and the cavities of the prepared nanocomposite. The outcomes of this research revealed that 90% of the tetracycline was loaded on the synthesized ZIF-8/GO/MgFe2O4 nanostructure. Next, drug release was done at pH: 5 and pH: 7.4 within 3 days, resulting about 88% and 92% release of the tetracycline, respectively. With using different spectroscopic methods like X-ray crystallography (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX/Mapping), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), the structure of synthesized materials was confirmed. Furthermore, the antibiotic activity of tetracycline trapped into the ZIF-8/GO/MgFe2O4 was evaluated by agar-well diffusion method on both gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, which showed good antibacterial results.

Abstract
Plant-derived natural medicines have been extensively studied for anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties, but challenges to their clinical use include low bioavailability, poor solubility in water, and difficult-to-control release kinetics. Nanomedicine may offer innovative solutions that can enhance the therapeutic activity and control release kinetics of these agents, opening the way to translating them into the clinic. Two agents of particular interest are rutin (Ru), a flavonoid, and piperine (Pip), an alkaloid, which exhibit a range of pharmacological activities that include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this work, nanoformulations were developed consisting of two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with surface modifications, Ti-MOF and Zr-MOF, each of them loaded with Ru and/or Pip. Both MOFs and nanoformulations were characterized and evaluated in vivo for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Loadings of ∼17 wt.% for a single pro-drug and ∼27 wt.% for dual loading were achieved. The release patterns for Ru and or Pip followed two stages: a zero-order for the first 12-hour stage, and a second stage of stable sustained release. At pH 7.4, the release patterns best fit to zero-order and Korsmeyer–Peppas kinetic models. The nanoformulations had enhanced anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects than any of their elements singly, and those with Ru or Pip alone showed stronger effects than those with both agents. Results of assays using a paw edema model, leukocyte migration, and plasma antioxidant capacity were in agreement. Our preliminary findings indicate that nanoformulations with these agents exert better anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects than the agents in their free form.

Abstract
In recent years, due to the shortcomings of conventional chemotherapy, such as poor bioavailability, low treatment index, and unclear side effects, the focus of cancer research has shifted to new nanocarriers of chemotherapeutic drugs. By using biodegradable materials, nanocarriers generally have the advantages of good biocompatibility, low side effects, targeting, controlled release profile, and improved efficacy. More to the point, nanocarrier based anti-cancer drug delivery systems clearly show the potential to overcome the problems associated with conventional chemotherapy. In order to promote the in-depth research and development in this field, we herein summarized and analyzed various nanocarrier based drug delivery systems for cancer therapy, including the concepts, types, characteristics, and preparation methods. The active and passive targeting mechanisms of cancer therapy were also included, along with a brief introduction of the research progress of nanocarriers used for anti-cancer drug delivery in the past decade.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer many opportunities for applications across biology and medicine. Their wide range of chemical composition makes toxicologically acceptable formulation possible, and their high level of functionality enables possible applications as delivery systems for therapeutics agents. Surface modifications have been used in drug delivery systems to minimize their interaction with the bulk, improving their specificity as targeted carriers. Herein, we discuss a strategy to achieve a tumor-targeting drug-loaded MOF using "click" chemistry to anchor functional folic acid (FA) molecules on the surface of N3-bio-MOF-100. Using curcumin (CCM) as an anticancer drug, we observed drug loading encapsulation efficiencies (DLEs) of 24.02 and 25.64% after soaking N3-bio-MOF-100 in CCM solutions for 1 day and 3 days, respectively. The success of postsynthetic modification of FA was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The stimuli-responsive drug release studies demonstrated an increase of CCM released under acidic microenvironments. Moreover, the cell viability assay was performed on the 4T1 (breast cancer) cell line in the presence of CCM@N3-bio-MOF-100 and CCM@N3-bio-MOF-100/FA carriers to confirm its biological compatibility. In addition, a cellular uptake study was conducted to evaluate the targeting of tumor cells.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is being used in different malignancies and several side effects are reported for patients taking Oxaliplatin, including peripheral neuropathy, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, low blood counts, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. Here we have developed a targeted anticancer drug delivery system based on folate-conjugated amine-functionalized UiO-66 for the delivery of oxaliplatin (OX). UiO-66-NH2 (U) and UiO-66-NH2-FA(FU) were pre-functionalized by the incorporation of folic acid (FA) into the structure via coordination of the carboxylate group of FA. The FTIR spectra of drug-loaded U and FU showed the presence of new carboxylic and aliphatic groups of OX and FA. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were matched accordingly with the reference pattern and FESEM results showed semi-spherical particles (115-128 nm). The evaluated amounts of OX in U and FU were calculated 304.5 and 293 mg/g, respectively. The initial burst release of OX was 15.7% per hour for U(OX) and 10.8% per hour for FU(OX). The final release plateau gives 62.9% and 52.3% for U(OX) and FU(OX). To evaluate the application of the prepared delivery platform, they were tested on colorectal cancer cells (CT-26) via MTT assay, cell migration assay, and spheroid model. IC50 values obtained from MTT assay were 21.38, 95.50, and 18.20 μg/mL for OX, U(OX), and FU(OX), respectively. After three days of treatment, the CT26 spheroids at two doses of 500 and 50 μg/mL of U(OX) and FU(OX) showed volume reduction. Moreover, the oxidative behavior of the prepared systems within the cell was assessed by total thiol, malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase activity. The results showed that FU(OX) had higher efficacy in preventing the growth of CT-26 spheroid, and was more effective than oxaliplation in cell migration inhibition, and induced higher oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
The metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have shown fascinating possibilities in biomedical applications, designing a multifunctional drug delivery system based on the MOF is important. In this study, 5-sulfosalicylic acid and boswellic acids (BAs) were loaded to the pH sensitive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocomposite containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the center. The ZIF layer acts as a capsule for the nontoxic storage of 5-sulfosalicylic acid and boswellic acids (BAs) under physiological conditions. The results of the characterization demonstrated the performance of the nanocarrier formation. The pH-sensitive drug release of 5-sulfosalicylic acid was detected due to the innate pH-dependent stability of ZIF-8. An effective pH-sensitive drug delivery system using a 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA@ZIF-8, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA/BAs@ZIF-8, in which the 5-sulfosalicylicacid is not free in physiological pH but it is released at acidic pH (5.0) has been fabricated. The best biocompatibility has been found in 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA/BAs@ZIF-8 comparing to the 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA, 5-sulfosalicylic acid /BSA/BAs, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA@ZIF-8. Additionally, 5-sulfosalicylic acid/BSA /BAs@ZIF-8 exhibited higher effectiveness than other compounds against the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, with less toxicity. It is concluded from the results of the current study that the fabricated ZIF-8 based nanocarrier may potentially provide therapeutic effects on breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide and its treatment remains very challenging. The effectiveness of cancer therapy significantly depends upon tumour-specific delivery of the drug. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have been developed to avoid the side effects of the conventional chemotherapy. However, according to the most recent recommendations, future nanomedicine should be focused mainly on active targeting of nanocarriers based on ligand-receptor recognition, which may show better efficacy than passive targeting in human cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the efficacy of single-ligand nanomedicines is still limited due to the complexity of the tumour microenvironment. Thus, the NPs are improved toward an additional functionality, e.g., pH-sensitivity (advanced single-targeted NPs). Moreover, dual-targeted nanoparticles which contain two different types of targeting agents on the same drug delivery system are developed. The advanced single-targeted NPs and dual-targeted nanocarriers present superior properties related to cell selectivity, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity toward cancer cells than conventional drug, non-targeted systems and single-targeted systems without additional functionality. Folic acid and biotin are used as targeting ligands for cancer chemotherapy, since they are available, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonimmunogenic and easy to modify. These ligands are used in both, single- and dual-targeted systems although the latter are still a novel approach. This review presents the recent achievements in the development of single- or dual-targeted nanoparticles for anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of molecular crystalline materials built from metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers. By taking advantage of their synthetic tunability and structural regularity, MOFs can hierarchically integrate nanoparticles and/or biomolecules into a single framework to enable multifunctions. The MOF-protected heterostructures not only enhance the catalytic capacity of nanoparticle components but also retain the biological activity of biomolecules in an intracellular microenvironment. Therefore, the multifunctional MOF heterostructures have great advantages over single components in cancer therapy. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the general principle of the design and functional modulation of nanoscaled MOF heterostructures, and biomedical applications in enhanced therapy within the last five years. The functions of MOF heterostructures with a controlled size can be regulated by designing various functional ligands and in situ growth/postmodification of nanoparticles and/or biomolecules. The advances in the application of multifunctional MOF heterostructures are also explored for enhanced cancer therapies involving photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and theranostics. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of precisely localized assembly, maximizing composite properties, and processing new techniques, are also presented. The introduction of multiple components into one crystalline MOF provides a promising approach to design all-in-one theranostics in clinical treatments.

Abstract
Previously most of the applications of targeting components have been based on the enhanced permeability and retention effect achieved using folic acid, which consider the side effects of the targeting components to some extent. Herein, we report a new strategy to decorate the surface of MOFs using a pemetrexed (MTA) targeting molecule, affording a new drug delivery system of ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/MTA (ALA = 5-amino-levulinic acid and FAM = 5-carboxyfluorescein). The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results showed that ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/MTA presented a better targeting effect compared to ALA@UIO-66-NH-FAM/FA (FA = folic acid) and indicated a gradually increasing tendency of the targeting effect with the increasing expression of folate receptors on the tumor cell cytomembrane. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity experiment indicates that the combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy is a more effective therapy model than single chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. This work demonstrates the first attempt at folic acid antagonist (MTA) modification for NMOFs, providing a new concept for the design of MOFs with folate receptor targeting capacity for clinical applications.

Abstract
Hollow nanomaterials have been used as an attractive platform for the integration of multiple bioactive components for effective anticancer therapy. Herein, we report a novel and facile strategy for the fabrication of hollow and monodispersed zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) by the self-template method with folic acid (FA) as a bioetcher. Gold nanocluster and folic acid were critical for the formation of the hollow ZIF-8 (thickness of 38 nm) during solvothermal synthesis. By integrating CuS nanoparticles (size of 4.9 nm), the resultant quadruple ZIF-8/Au/CuS/FA nanocomposites (denoted as FACZ) exhibited effective anticancer activities on FA receptor-positive MCF-7 and HepG-2 tumor cells but a weak killing effect on HCMEC/D3 cells. Folic acid molecules were conjugated to the external surface of FACZ, which simultaneously offered an excellent tumor-targeting ability and fluorescence imaging property. Although the photothermal therapy caused by CuS was not so obvious due to partial reduction, the nanosized FACZ after cellular uptake was able to release Cu(I) to enable chemodynamic therapy. This catalytically decomposed H2O2 to produce highly reactive oxygen species via the Fenton-like reaction as determined by the extracellular and intracellular hydroxyl radical. Our work offers a simple route for the fabrication of hollow ZIF-8 nanocomposite with active and selective anticancer activity. This is envisaged to have great potentials in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Developing novel drug carriers for pulmonary delivery is necessary to achieve higher efficacy and consistency for treating pulmonary diseases while limiting off-target side effects that occur from alternative routes of administration. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as a class of materials with characteristics well-suited for pulmonary drug delivery, with chemical tunability, high surface area, and pore size, which will allow for efficient loading of therapeutic cargo and deep lung penetration. UiO-66, a zirconium and terephthalic acid-based MOF, has displayed notable chemical and physical stability and potential biocompatibility; however, its feasibility for use as a pulmonary drug delivery vehicle has yet to be examined. Here, we evaluate the use of UiO-66 nanoparticles (NPs) as novel pulmonary drug delivery vehicles and assess the role of missing linker defects in their utility for this application. We determined that missing linker defects result in differences in NP aerodynamics but have minimal effects on the loading of model and therapeutic cargo, cargo release, biocompatibility, or biodistribution. This is a critical result, as it indicates the robust consistency of UiO-66, a critical feature for pulmonary drug delivery, which is plagued by inconsistent dosage because of variable properties. Not only that, but UiO-66 NPs also demonstrate pH-dependent stability, with resistance to degradation in extracellular conditions and breakdown in intracellular environments. Furthermore, the carriers exhibit high biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity in vitro and are well-tolerated in in vivo murine evaluations of orotracheally administered NPs. Following pulmonary delivery, UiO-66 NPs remain localized to the lungs before clearance over the course of seven days. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using UiO-66 NPs as a novel platform for pulmonary drug delivery through their tunable NP properties, which allow for controlled aerodynamics and internalization-dependent cargo release while displaying remarkable pulmonary biocompatibility.

Abstract
Bioavailability plays an important role in drug activity in the human body, as certain drug amounts should be present to elicit activity. However, low bioavailability of drugs leads to negligible use for human benefit. In this study, the diversely active neolignan, magnolol, was impregnated onto a Zr-based organometallic framework [Uio-66(Zr)] to increase its low bioavailability (4–5%) and to test its potential acute oral toxicity. Synthesis of Uio-66(Zr) was done through the solvothermal method while simple impregnation at different time points was used to incorporate magnolol. The loading capacity of Uio-66(Zr) at 36 h was found to be significantly higher at 72.16 ± 2.15% magnolol than in other incubation time. Based on the OECD 425 (limit test), toxicity was not observed at 2000 mg kg−1 dose of mag@Uio-66(Zr) in female Sprague Dawley rats. The area under the curve (AUC) at 0–720 min of mag@Uio-66(Zr) was significantly higher than the AUC of free magnolol. Moreover, relative bioavailability increased almost two-folds using Uio-66(Zr). Unconjugated magnolol was found in the liver, kidney, and brain of rats in all treatment groups. Collectively, Uio-66(Zr) provided a higher magnolol bioavailability when used as drug carrier. Thus, utilization of Uio-66(Zr) as drug carrier is of importance for maximal use for poorly soluble and lowly bioavailable drugs.
