Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202319981.

Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy combines radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy to potentiate antitumor activity but exacerbates toxicities and causes debilitating side effects in cancer patients. Herein, we report the use of a nanoscale metal-organic layer (MOL) as a 2D nanoradiosensitizer and a reservoir for the slow release of chemotherapeutics to amplify the antitumor effects of radiotherapy. Coordination of phosphate-containing drugs to MOL secondary building units prolongs their intratumoral retention, allowing for continuous release of gemcitabine monophosphate (GMP) for effective localized chemotherapy. In the meantime, the MOL sensitizes cancer cells to X-ray irradiation and provides potent radiotherapeutic effects. GMP-loaded MOL (GMP/MOL) enhances cytotoxicity by 2-fold and improves radiotherapeutic effects over free GMP in vitro. In a colon cancer model, GMP/MOL retains GMP in tumors for more than four days and, when combined with low-dose radiotherapy, inhibits tumor growth by 98 %. The synergistic chemoradiotherapy enabled by GMP/MOL shows a cure rate of 50 %, improves survival, and ameliorates cancer-proliferation histological biomarkers.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been applied in cancer treatment because of its high selectivity, low toxicity, and non-invasiveness. However, the limited penetration depth of the light still hampers from reaching deep-seated tumors. Considering the penetrating ability of high-energy radiotherapy, X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) has evolved as an alternative to overcome tissue blocks. As the basic principle of X-PDT, X-rays stimulate the nanoparticles to emit scintillating or persistent luminescence and further activate the photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which would cause a series of molecular and cellular damages, immune response, and eventually break down the tumor tissue. In recent years, catalytic nanosystems with unique structures and functions have emerged that can enhance X-PDT therapeutic effects via an immune response. The anti-cancer effect of X-PDT is closely related to the following factors: energy conversion efficiency of the material, the radiation dose of X-rays, quantum yield of the material, tumor resistance, and biocompatibility. Based on the latest research in this field and the classical theories of nanoscience, this paper systematically elucidates the current development of the X-PDT and related immunotherapy, and highlights its broad prospects in medical applications, discussing the connection between fundamental science and clinical translation.

Nanoscale Iron-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks: Incorporation of Functionalized Drugs and Degradation in Biological Media. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043362. [PMID: 36834775 PMCID: PMC9965190 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attract growing interest in biomedical applications. Among thousands of MOF structures, the mesoporous iron(III) carboxylate MIL-100(Fe) (MIL stands for the Materials of Lavoisier Institute) is among the most studied MOF nanocarrier, owing to its high porosity, biodegradability, and lack of toxicity. Nanosized MIL-100(Fe) particles (nanoMOFs) readily coordinate with drugs leading to unprecedented payloads and controlled release. Here, we show how the functional groups of the challenging anticancer drug prednisolone influence their interactions with the nanoMOFs and their release in various media. Molecular modeling enabled predicting the strength of interactions between prednisolone-bearing or not phosphate or sulfate moieties (PP and PS, respectively) and the oxo-trimer of MIL-100(Fe) as well as understanding the pore filling of MIL-100(Fe). Noticeably, PP showed the strongest interactions (drug loading up to 30 wt %, encapsulation efficiency > 98%) and slowed down the nanoMOFs' degradation in simulated body fluid. This drug was shown to bind to the iron Lewis acid sites and was not displaced by other ions in the suspension media. On the contrary, PS was entrapped with lower efficiencies and was easily displaced by phosphates in the release media. Noticeably, the nanoMOFs maintained their size and faceted structures after drug loading and even after degradation in blood or serum after losing almost the totality of the constitutive trimesate ligands. Scanning electron microscopy with high annular dark field (STEM-HAADF) in conjunction with X-Ray energy-dispersive spectrometry (XEDS) was a powerful tool enabling the unraveling of the main elements to gain insights on the MOF structural evolution after drug loading and/or upon degradation.

Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for the delivery of nucleic acids to cancer cells. Int J Pharm X 2023; 5:100161.

Abstract
Therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) are gaining increasing interest in the treatment of severe diseases including viral infections, inherited disorders, and cancers. However, the efficacy of intracellularly functioning TNAs is also reliant upon their delivery into the cellular environment, as unmodified nucleic acids are unable to cross the cell membrane mainly due to charge repulsion. Here we show that TNAs can be effectively delivered into the cellular environment using engineered nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs), with the additional ability to tailor which cells receive the therapeutic cargo determined by the functional moieties grafted onto the nanoMOF's surface. This study paves the way to integrate the highly ordered programmable nucleic acids into larger-scale functionalized nanoassemblies.

Abstract
Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, versatile surface properties, and degradability, nanoscale metal organic frameworks (nano MOFs) are drawing significant attention in nanomedicine. In particular, iron trimesate MIL-100 (Fe) is studied extensively in the drug delivery field. Nanosized MIL-100 (Fe) are obtained mostly by microwave-assisted synthesis. Simpler, room-temperature (RT) synthesis methods attract growing interest and have scale-up potential. However, the preparation of RT MIL100 is still very challenging because of the high tendency of the nanoparticles to aggregate during their synthesis, purification and storage. To address this issue, we prepared RT MIL100 using acetic acid as a modulator and used non-toxic cyclodextrin-based coatings to ensure stability upon storage. Hydrodynamic diameters less than 100 nm were obtained after RT synthesis, however, ultrasonication was needed to disaggregate the nanoparticles after their purification by centrifugation. The model drug adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was successfully encapsulated in RT MIL100 obtained using acetic acid as a modulator. The coated RT MIL100 has CD-exhibited degradability, good colloidal stability, low cytotoxicity, as well as high drug payload efficiency. Further studies will focus on applications in the field of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chikungunya fever caused by the mosquito-transmitted chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a major public health concern in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate climatic regions. The lack of any licensed vaccine or antiviral agents against CHIKV warrants the development of effective antiviral therapies. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) mediated gene silencing of CHIKV structural and non-structural genes serves as a potential antiviral strategy. The therapeutic efficiency of siRNA can be improved by using an efficient delivery system. Metal-organic framework biocomposits have demonstrated an exceptional capability in protecting and efficiently delivering nucleic acids into cells. In the present study, carbonated ZIF called ZIF-C has been utilized to deliver siRNAs targeted against E2 and nsP1 genes of CHIKV to achieve a reduction in viral replication and infectivity. Cellular transfection studies of E2 and nsP1 genes targeting free siRNAs and ZIF-C encapsulated siRNAs in CHIKV infected Vero CCL-81 cells were performed. Our results reveal a significant reduction of infectious virus titre, viral RNA levels and percent of infected cells in cultures transfected with ZIF-C encapsulated siRNA compared to cells transfected with free siRNA. The results suggest that delivery of siRNA through ZIF-C enhances the antiviral activity of CHIKV E2 and nsP1 genes directed siRNAs.

Abstract
Since the first report in 1989, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) self-assembled from metal ions or clusters, as well as organic linkers, have attracted extensive attention. Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, modifiable surface properties, and their degradability, there has been an exponential increase in the study of MOFs materials, specifically in drug delivery system areas such as infection, diabetes, pulmonary disease, ocular disease, imaging, tumor therapy, and especially cancer theranostics. In this review, we discuss the trends in MOFs biosafety, from "green" synthesis to applications in drug delivery systems. Firstly, we present the different "green" synthesis approaches used to prepare MOFs materials. Secondly, we detail the methods for the functional coating, either through grafting targeting units, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains or by using cell membranes. Then, we discuss drug encapsulation strategies, host-guest interactions, as well as drug release mechanisms. Lastly, we report on the drug delivery applications of nanoscale MOFs. In particular, we discuss MOFs-based imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and fluorescence imaging. MOFs-based cancer therapy methods are also presented, such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

[PMID: 35430336 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Gemcitabine (GEM) is among the most used chemotherapies for advanced malignancies including non-small cell lung cancer. The clinical efficacy of GEM is, however, downplayed by its poor bioavailability, short half-life, drug resistance, and dose-limiting toxicities (e.g. myelosuppression). In spite of many approaches exploited to improve the efficacy and safety of GEM, limited success was achieved. The short A6 peptide (sequence: Ac-KPSSPPEE-NH2) is clinically validated for specific binding to CD44 on metastatic tumors. Here, we designed a robust and CD44-specific GEM nanotherapeutics by encapsulating hydrophobic phosphorylated gemcitabine prodrug (HPG) into the core of A6 peptide-functionalized disulfide-crosslinked micelles (A6-mHPG), which exhibited reduction-triggered HPG release and specific targetability to CD44 overexpressing tumor cells. Interestingly, A6 greatly enhanced the internalization and inhibitory activity of micellar HPG (mHPG) in CD44 positive A549 cells, and increased its accumulation in A549 cancerous lung, leading to potent repression of orthotopic tumor growth, depleted toxicity, and marked survival benefits compared to free HPG and mHPG (median survival time: 59 days versus 30 and 45 days, respectively). The targeted delivery of gemcitabine prodrug with disulfide-crosslinked biodegradable micelles appears to be a highly appealing strategy to boost gemcitabine therapy for advance tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Gemcitabine (GEM) though widely used in clinics for treating advanced tumors is associated with poor bioavailability, short half-life and dose-limiting toxicities. Development of clinically translatable GEM formulations to improve its anti-tumor efficacy and safety is of great interest. Here, we report on CD44-targeting GEM nanotherapeutics obtained by encapsulating hydrophobic phosphorylated GEM prodrug (HPG), a single isomer of NUC-1031, into A6 peptide-functionalized disulfide-crosslinked micelles (A6-mHPG). A6-mHPG demonstrates stability against degradation, enhanced internalization and inhibition toward CD44+ cells, and increased accumulation in A549 lung tumor xenografts, leading to potent repression of orthotopic tumor growth, depleted toxicity and marked survival benefits. The targeted delivery of GEM prodrug using A6-mHPG is a highly appealing strategy to GEM cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, the potential of using MIL-100(Fe) metal-organic framework (MOF) for loading and controlling the release of dacarbazine (DTIC) was evaluated for in vitro treatment of melanoma. The drug loading was performed during the green synthesis of MIL-100(Fe) in an aqueous media without using any harmful solvents, to obtain MIL-DTIC. The surface of this structure was then coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the same aqueous solution to synthesize MIL-DTIC-PEG. The synthesized samples were characterized using various methods. Their release profile was studied in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and simulated cutaneous medium (SCM). The cytotoxicity of DTIC and its nano-MOF formulation were investigated against melanoma A375 cell lines. The results revealed that the PEG coating (PEGylation) changed the surface charge of MOF from -2.8 ± 0.9 mV to -42.8 ± 1.2 mV, which can contribute to the colloidal stability of MOF. The PEGylation showed a significant effect on controlled drug release, especially in SCM, which increases the complete release time from 60 h to 12 days. Moreover, both of the drug-containing MOFs showed more toxicity than DTIC and unloaded MOFs, confirming that the cumulative release of drug and better cellular uptake of NPs lead to increased toxicity.

Abstract
This study was planned to evolve the bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency of Gemcitabine (GEM) and 5-Fluorouracil with decreased side effects using MIL-100 nano-composite as carrier. Impregnation approach was used for encapsulation of 5-Fluorouracil alone and with GEM inside the MIL-100. The formed 5-Fluorouracil@MIL-100 and 5-Fluorouracil-GEM@MIL-100 were then coated with chitosan, sequentially chelated with iron(III) and conjugated with quercetin, eventually obtaining a multifunctional MIL-100 nanocarrier. The hybrid nanocarrier nascency was verified by different characterization results. pH-sensitive releases of 5-Fluorouracil and GEM were observed because of the inherent pH-dependent stability of MIL-100. Additionally, we evaluated the anti-cancer activity of these nanocarriers through WST-1 analysis and acridine orange staining in MCF-7 human breast cancer and HUVEC control cell lines. Our findings showed that all nanocarriers exhibited anti-cancer activity and induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. However, 5-Fluorouracil@MIL-100 and chitosan-coated 5-Fluorouracil@MIL-100 with quercetin were more effective than other nanocarriers in MCF-7 cells (p < 0.05). Moreover, we observed cytotoxicity in HUVEC cells due to the adverse side effects of chemotherapy drugs. However, chitosan coated nanocarriers with quercetin were less toxic on HUVEC cells at particularly 1 µg/mL. Therefore, MIL-100 could be used for a promising chemotherapeutic drugs delivery and chitosan coated drugs with quercetin could be useful for reducing toxicity on normal cells.

Abstract
Highly porous nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) attract growing interest as drug nanocarriers. However, engineering "stealth" nanoMOFs with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coatings remains a main challenge. Here we address the goal of coating nanoMOFs with biodegradable shells using novel cyclodextrin (CD)-based oligomers with a bulky structure to avoid their penetration inside the open nanoMOF porosity. The PEG chains were grafted by click chemistry onto the CDs which were further crosslinked by citric acid. Advantageously, the oligomers' free citrate units allowed their spontaneous anchoring onto the nanoMOFs by complexation with the iron sites in the top layers. Up to 31 wt% oligomers could be firmly attached by simple incubation with the nanoMOFs in an aqueous medium. Moreover, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully entrapped in the core-shell nanoMOFs with loadings up to 41 wt%. High resolution STEM (HR-STEM) showed that the organized crystalline structures were preserved. Remarkably, at the highest loadings, DOX was poorly released out of the nanoMOFs at pH 7.4 (<2% in 2 days). In contrast, around 80% of DOX was released out at pH 4.5 of artificial lysosomal fluid in 24 h. Confocal microscopy investigations showed that the DOX-loaded nanoMOFs penetrated inside Hela cancer cell together with their PEG shells. There, they released the DOX cargo which further diffused inside the nucleus to eradicate the cancer cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), comprised of organic ligands and metal ions/metal clusters via coordinative bonds are highly porous, crystalline materials. Their tunable porosity, chemical composition, size and shape, and easy surface functionalization make this large family more and more popular for drug delivery. There is a growing interest over the last decades in the design of engineered MOFs with controlled sizes for a variety of biomedical applications. This article presents an overall review and perspectives of MOFs-based drug delivery systems (DDSs), starting with the MOFs classification adapted for DDSs based on the types of constituting metals and ligands. Then, the synthesis and characterization of MOFs for DDSs are developed, followed by the drug loading strategies, applications, biopharmaceutics and quality control. Importantly, a variety of representative applications of MOFs are detailed from a point of view of applications in pharmaceutics, diseases therapy and advanced DDSs. In particular, the biopharmaceutics and quality control of MOFs-based DDSs are summarized with critical issues to be addressed. Finally, challenges in MOFs development for DDSs are discussed, such as biostability, biosafety, biopharmaceutics and nomenclature.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) plays a central role in curing malignant tumors. However, the treatment outcome is often impeded by low radiation absorption coefficients and radiation resistance of tumors along with normal tissue radio-toxicity. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials in combination with RT offer the possibility to improve the therapeutic efficacy yet reduce side-effects. Metal-ligand coordination nanomaterials, including nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) and nanoscale coordination polymers (NCPs), formed by coordination interactions between inorganic metal ions/clusters with organic bridging ligands, have shown great potential in the field of radiation oncology in recent years in view of their unique advantages including the porous structure, high surface area, periodic frameworks, and diverse selections of both metal ions/clusters and organic ligands. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in NMOF/NCP-mediated synergistic RT in combination with hypoxia relief, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy or immunotherapy, which emerged in the last 3 years, and describe cooperative enhancement interactions among these synergistic combinations. Moreover, the potential challenges and future prospects of this rapidly growing direction were also addressed.

Abstract
Hybrid porous nanoscale metal organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) made of iron trimesate are attracting increasing interest as drug carriers, due to their high drug loading capacity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. NanoMOF surface modification to prevent clearance by the innate immune system remains still challenging in reason of their high porosity and biodegradable character. Herein, FDA-approved lipids and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-lipid conjugates were used to engineer the surface of nanoMOFs by a rapid and convenient solvent-exchange deposition method. The resulting lipid-coated nanoMOFs were extensively characterized. For the first time, we show that nanoMOF surface modification with lipids affords a better control over drug release and their degradation in biological media. Moreover, when loaded with the anticancer drug Gem-MP (Gemcitabine-monophosphate), iron trimesate nanoMOFs acted as “Trojan horses” carrying the drug inside cancer cells to eradicate them. Most interestingly, the PEG-coated nanoMOFs escaped the capture by macrophages. In a nutshell, versatile PEG-based lipid shells control cell interactions and open perspectives for drug targeting.
