Abstract
Fluorination is one of the most efficient and universal strategies to increase the hydrophobicity of materials and consequently their water stability. Zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), which have limited stability in aqueous media and even lower stability when synthesized on a nanometric scale, can greatly benefit from the incorporation of fluorine atoms, not only to improve their stability but also to provide additional properties. Herein, we report the preparation of two different fluorinated ZIFs through a simple and scalable approach by using mixed ligands [2-methylimidazole, as a common ligand, and 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazole (monofluorinated linker) or 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole (trifluorinated linker) as a dopant], demonstrating the high versatility of the synthetic method developed to incorporate different fluorine-containing imidazole-based ligands. Second, we demonstrate for the first time that these nanoscale fluorinated ZIFs outperform the pristine ZIF-8 for water intrusion/extrusion, i.e., for storing mechanical energy via forced intrusion of nonwetting water due to the improved hydrophobicity and modified framework dynamics. Moreover, we also show that by varying the nature of the F-imidazole ligand, the performance of the resulting ZIFs, including the pressure thresholds and stored/dissipated energy, can be finely tuned, thus opening the path for the design of a library of fluorine-modified ZIFs with unique behavior.

Abstract
In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) was coated on porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds, either bare or previously modified using hydroxyapatite (HA) or HA and gelatin (HAgel), via a growing single-step method in aqueous media using two contact times at 6 h and 24 h. The coated scaffolds termed ZIF-8@Ti, ZIF-8@HA/Ti, and ZIF-8@HAgel/Ti were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and molecular plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (MP-AES). In order to assess the cell proliferation rate, the cytocompatibility of the scaffolds was evaluated in primary osteoblasts (hOBs) using alamarBlue assay, while the osteoconductivity was analyzed in hOBs using a real-time approach, evaluating the expression of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1). Osteopontin, which is the protein encoded by this gene, represents the major non-collagenous bone protein that binds tightly to HA. The scaffolds were shown to be non-cytotoxic based on hOB proliferation at all time points of analysis (24 h and 72 h). In hOB cultures, the scaffolds induced the upregulation of SPP1 with different fold changes. Some selected scaffolds were assayed in vitro for their antibacterial potential against Staphylococcus epidermidis; the scaffolds coated with ZIF-8 crystals, regardless of the presence of HA and gelatin, strongly inhibited bacterial adhesion to the materials and reduced bacterial proliferation in the culture medium, demonstrating the suitable release of ZIF-8 in a bioactive form. These experiments suggest that the innovative scaffolds, tested herein, provide a good microenvironment for hOB adhesion, viability, and osteoconduction with effective prevention of S. epidermidis adhesion.

Abstract
An outstanding challenge for the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is structuring to form forms with greater useability. Reactive extrusion printing (REP) is a technique for the direct formation of films from their molecular components on-demand and on-location. Here we apply REP for the first time to zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and study the interplay of solvent and molarity ratio on the phase distribution between ZIF-8 and ZIF-L in reactive printed films. Our results show that REP controllably directs phase formation between ZIF-L and ZIF-8 and that REP also gives control over crystal size and that high-quality ZIF-8 films, in particular, are produced in low-dispersity interconnected nanoparticulate form. Importantly, we show that REP is responsive to established surface-functionalization techniques to control important printing parameters of line width and thickness. This work expands the repertoire of REP to the important class of ZIFs.

Abstract
The designed and ordered co-immobilization of multiple enzymes for vectorial biocatalysis is challenging. Here, a combination of protein phase separation and bioorthogonal linking is used to generate a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8) containing co-immobilized enzymes. Zn2+ ions induce the clustering of minimal protein modules, such as 6-His tag, proline-rich motif (PRM) and SRC homology 3 (SH3) domains, and allow for phase separation of the coupled aldoketoreductase (AKR) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) at low concentrations. This is achieved by fusing SpyCatcher and PRM-SH3-6His peptide fragments to the C and N termini of AKR, respectively, and the SpyTag to ADH. Addition of 2-methylimidazole results in droplet formation and enables in situ spatial embedding the recombinant AKR and ADH to generate the cascade biocalysis system encapsulated in ZIF-8 (AAE@ZIF). In synthesizing (S)-1-(2-chlorophenyl) ethanol, ater 6 cycles, the yield can still reach 91%, with 99.99% enantiomeric excess (ee) value for each cycle. However, the yield could only reach 72.9% when traditionally encapsulated AKR and ADH in ZIF-8 are used. Thus, this work demonstrates that a combination of protein phase separation and bio-orthogonal linking enables the in situ creation of a stable and spatially organized bi-enzyme system with enhanced channeling effects in ZIF-8.

Abstract
In this work, a one-pot multicomponent synthesis of the ibuprofen-loaded Fe3O4 nanoparticles-supported zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Ibu-ZIF-8/Fe3O4 NPs) nanohybrid was carried out. The ZIF-8/Fe3O4 NPs nanohybrid was used as a drug carrier for the in vitro release of ibuprofen in a PBS solution. The structure and morphology of the synthesized materials were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, UV-visible absorption studies, FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The ibuprofen release kinetics was studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. The mechanism of drug delivery was thoroughly investigated and the Higuchi model was found as the best-fitted model for the ibuprofen release study. The 20 wt % Fe3O4 NPs-supported ZIF-8 nanohybrid exhibited more than 95% ibuprofen release efficiency in phosphate buffer saline of pH 7.4 within 2 h. The separation ability of the nanohybrid was very good, and it was easily separated by a simple commercial magnet. In order to investigate the cell viability, the cytotoxicity of ZIF-8, Fe3O4 NPs, and ZIF-8/20 wt % Fe3O4 NPs was investigated using MTT assays against Leishmania donovani promastigotes. The ZIF-8/20 wt % Fe3O4 NPs nanohybrid carrier exhibited a cell growth inhibition effect with a high correlation coefficient and low probability (p) values. The high release of drug molecules may be due to the more open site of the ZIF-8/Fe3O4 NPs nanohybrid. The drug release profile suggests that the nanohybrid can be potentially used as a drug carrier for targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Objective To synthesize a Salphen-based Fe-N2O2@C material with high peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity and sonosensitivity for the synergistic sonodynamic (SDT) and chemodynamic (CDT) therapy of tumors. Methods Fe-N2O2 was synthesized via the hydrothermal method, and Fe-N2O2@C was prepared by incorporating a ketjen black substrate. The morphology, structure, composition, enzyme mimic activity for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and sonosensitivity of the material were characterized. The ability and mechanism of Fe-N2O2@C to perform synergistic SDT and CDT killing of 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells were explored through in vitro experiments. The in vivo tumor-killing ability of Fe-N2O2@C combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated using a subcutaneous 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. Results FFe-N2O2 and Fe-N2O2@C were both irregularly shaped nanospheres with average particle sizes of 25.9 nm and 36.2 nm, respectively. XRD, FTIR, and XPS analyses confirmed that both Fe-N2O2 and Fe-N2O2@C possessed a Salphen covalent organic framework structure with M-N2O2 coordination, and the ketjen black loading had no significant impact on this structure. Compared to Fe-N2O2, Fe-N2O2@C exhibited high POD-mimicking activity (with K m reduced from 19.32 to 5.82 mmol/L and v max increased from 2.51×10-8 to 8.92×10-8 mol/[L·s]) and sonosensitivity. Fe-N2O2@C in combination with ultrasound irradiation could produce a large amount of ROS within cells and a subsequent significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby inducing TEM-observable mitochondrial damage and causing cell apoptosis and death. In addition, in vivo experiments showed that Fe-N2O2@C in combination with ultrasound irradiation could effectively inhibit tumor growth in a 4T1 subcutaneous tumor-bearing mouse model without significant in vivo toxicity. Conclusion In this study, we prepared a Salphen-based Fe-N2O2@C material with good biocompatibility, which can be used in combination with ultrasound irradiation to achieve SDT and CDT synergistic killing of tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth. This Salphen-based Fe-N2O2@C nanomaterial shows promising potential for multimodal tumor therapy.

Abstract
A better understanding of the molecular and cellular events involved in the inflammation process has opened novel perspectives in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly through the development of well-designed nanomedicines. Here we describe the design of a novel class of anti-inflammatory nanomedicine (denoted as Au@MIL) synthesized through a one-pot, cost-effective and green approach by coupling a benchmark mesoporous iron(III) carboxylate metal organic framework (MOF) (i.e. MIL-100(Fe)) and glutathionate protected gold nanoclusters (i.e. Au25SG18 NCs). This nano-carrier exhibits low toxicity and excellent colloidal stability combined with the high loading capacity of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone phosphate (DexP) whose pH-dependent delivery was observed. The drug loaded Au@MIL nanocarrier shows high anti-inflammatory activity due to its capacity to specifically hinder inflammatory cell growth, scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. In addition, this formulation has the capacity to inhibit the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling cascade namely the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) pathways. This not only provides a new avenue for the nanotherapy of inflammatory diseases but also enhances our fundamental knowledge of the role of nanoMOF based nanomedicine in the regulation of innate immune signaling.

Abstract
Protein@metal-organic frameworks (P@MOFs) prepared by coprecipitation of protein, metal ions, and organic ligands represent an effective method for protein stabilization with a wide spectrum of applications. However, the formation mechanism of P@MOFs via the coprecipitation process and the reason why proteins can retain their biological activity in the frameworks with highly concentrated metal ions remain unsettled. Here, by a combined methodology of single molecule localization microscopy and clustering analysis, we discovered that in this process enzyme molecules form clusters with metal ions and organic ligands, contributing to both the nucleation and subsequent crystal growth. We proposed that the clusters played an important role in the retention of overall enzymatic activity by sacrificing protein molecules on the cluster surface. This work offers fresh perspectives on protein behaviors in the formation of P@MOFs, inspiring future endeavors in the design and development of artificial bionanocomposites with high biological activities.

Huang Z, Rath J, Zhou Q, Cherevan A, Naghdi S, Eder D. Hierarchically Micro- and Mesoporous Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks Through Selective Ligand Removal. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2307981. [PMID: 38126913 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202307981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
A new method to engineer hierarchically porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) through selective ligand removal (SeLiRe) is presented. This innovative approach involves crafting mixed-ligand ZIFs (ML-ZIFs) with varying proportions of 2-aminobenzimidazole (NH2-bIm) and 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm), followed by controlled thermal treatments. This process creates a dual-pore system, incorporating both micropores and additional mesopores, suggesting selective cleavage of metal-ligand coordination bonds. Achieving this delicate balance requires adjustment of heating conditions for each mixed-ligand ratio, enabling the targeted removal of NH2-bIm from a variety of ML-ZIFs while preserving their inherent microporous framework. Furthermore, the distribution of the initial thermolabile ligand plays a pivotal role in determining the resulting mesopore architecture. The efficacy of this methodology is aptly demonstrated through the assessment of hierarchically porous ZIFs for their potential in adsorbing diverse organic dyes in aqueous environments. Particularly striking is the performance of the 10%NH2-ZIF-2 h, which showcases an astonishing 40-fold increase in methylene blue adsorption capacity compared to ZIF-8, attributed to larger pore volumes that accelerate the diffusion of dye molecules to adsorption sites. This versatile technique opens new avenues for designing micro/mesoporous ZIFs, particularly suited for liquid media scenarios necessitating efficient active site access and optimal diffusion kinetics, such as purification, catalysis, and sensing.

[PMID: 38626832 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Angiogenesis is pivotal for osteogenesis during bone regeneration. A hydrogel that promotes both angiogenesis and osteogenesis is essential in bone tissue engineering. However, creating scaffolds with the ideal balance of biodegradability, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties poses a challenge. Thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10), known for its dual role in angiogenesis and osteogenesis differentiation, faces limitations due to protein activity preservation. To tackle this issue, ZIF-8 was engineered as a carrier for TMSB10 (TMSB10@ZIF-8), and subsequently integrated into the self-assembled sericin hydrogel. The efficacy of the composite hydrogel in bone repair was assessed using a rat cranial defect model. Characterization of the nanocomposites confirmed the successful synthesis of TMSB10@ZIF-8, with a TMSB10 encapsulation efficiency of 88.21 %. The sustained release of TMSB10 from TMSB10@ZIF-8 has significantly enhanced tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and promoted angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model in vivo. It has markedly improved the osteogenic differentiation ability of MC 3 T3-E1 cells in vitro. 8 weeks post-implantation, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/ Sericin hydrogel group exhibited significant bone healing (86.77 ± 8.91 %), outperforming controls. Thus, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/Sericin hydrogel, leveraging ZIF-8 for TMSB10 delivery, emerges as a promising bone regeneration scaffold with substantial clinical application potential.

Abstract
Blood purification, such as hemodialysis (HD), plasma exchange (PE), and hemoperfusion (HP), is widely applied in patients with organ failure (such as kidney and liver failure). Among them, HP mainly relies on porous adsorbents to efficiently adsorb accumulated metabolic wastes and toxins, thus improving purification efficiency. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with a high porosity, large surface area, high loading capacity, and tailorable topology, are emerging as some of the most promising materials for HP. Compared with non-metal framework counterparts, the self-built metal centers of MOFs feature the intrinsic advantages of coordination with toxin molecules. However, research on MOFs in blood purification is insufficient, particularly in contrast to materials applied in other biomedical applications. Thus, to broaden this area, this review first discusses the essential characteristics, potential mechanisms, and structure-function relationship between MOFs and toxin adsorption based on porosity, topology, ligand functionalization, metal centers, and toxin types. Moreover, the stability, utilization safety, and hemocompatibility of MOFs are illustrated for adsorbent selection. The current development and progress in MOF composites for HD, HP, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are also summarized to highlight their practicability. Finally, we propose future opportunities and challenges from materials design and manufacture to the computational prediction of MOFs in blood purification. It is anticipated that our review will expand the interest of researchers for more impact in this area.

Abstract
The immune system's complexity and ongoing evolutionary struggle against deleterious pathogens underscore the value of vaccination technologies, which have been bolstering human immunity for over two centuries. Despite noteworthy advancements over these 200 years, three areas remain recalcitrant to improvement owing to the environmental instability of the biomolecules used in vaccines─the challenges of formulating them into controlled release systems, their need for constant refrigeration to avoid loss of efficacy, and the requirement that they be delivered via needle owing to gastrointestinal incompatibility. Nanotechnology, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), has emerged as a promising avenue for confronting these challenges, presenting a new frontier in vaccine development. Although these materials have been widely explored in the context of drug delivery, imaging, and cancer immunotherapy, their role in immunology and vaccine-related applications is a recent yet rapidly developing field. This review seeks to elucidate the prospective use of MOFs and COFs for biomaterial stabilization, eliminating the necessity for cold chains, enhancing antigen potency as adjuvants, and potentializing needle-free delivery of vaccines. It provides an expansive and critical viewpoint on this rapidly evolving field of research and emphasizes the vital contribution of chemists in driving further advancements.

Abstract
A groundbreaking demonstration of the utilization of the metal-organic framework MIL-101(Fe) as an exceptionally perceptive visual label in colorimetric lateral flow assays (LFA) is described. This pioneering approach enables the precise identification of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), a recognized biomarker for chronic kidney disease (CKD), in urine specimens, which offers a remarkably sensitive naked-eye detection mechanism. The surface of MIL-101(Fe) was modified with oxalyl chloride, adipoyl chloride, and poly(acrylic) acid (PAA); these not only improved the labeling material stability in a complex matrix but also achieved a systematic control in the detection limit of the TGM2 concentration using our LFA platform. The advanced LFA with the MIL-101(Fe)-PAA label can detect TGM2 concentrations down to 0.012, 0.009, and 0.010 nM in Tris-HCl buffer, urine, and desalted urine, respectively, which are approximately 55-fold lower than those for a conventional AuNP-based LFAs. Aside from rapid TGM2 detection (i.e., within 20 min), the performance of the MIL-101(Fe)-PAA-based LFA on reproducibility [coefficients of variation (CV) < 2.9%] and recovery (95.9-103.2%) along with storage stability within 25 days of observation (CV < 6.0%) shows an acceptable parameter range for quantitative analysis. A sophisticated sensing method grounded in machine learning principles was also developed, specifically aimed at precisely deducing the TGM2 concentration by analyzing immunoreaction sites. More importantly, our developed LFA offers potential for clinical measurement of TGM2 concentration in normal human urine and CKD patients' samples.

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
The creation of a new metal-organic framework (MOF) with a hollow hierarchical porous structure has gained significant attention in the realm of enzyme immobilization. The present work employed a novel, facile, and effective combinatorial technique to synthesize modified MOF (N-PVP/HZIF-8) with a hierarchically porous core-shell structure, allowing for the preservation of the structural integrity of the encapsulated enzyme molecules. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and other characterization tools were used to fully explore the changes of morphological structure and surface properties in different stages of the preparation of immobilization enzyme CRL-N-PVP/HZIF-8, thus showing the superiority of N-PVP/HZIF-8 as an enzyme immobilization platform and the logic of the immobilization process on the carrier. Additionally, the maximum enzyme loading was 216.3 mg mL-1, the relative activity of CRL-N-PVP/HZIF-8 increased by 15 times compared with the CRL@ZIF-8 immobilized in situ, and exhibited quite good thermal, chemical, and operational stability. With a maximal conversion of 88.8%, CRL-N-PVP/HZIF-8 demonstrated good catalytic performance in the biosynthesis of phytosterol esters as a proof of concept. It is anticipated that this work will offer fresh concepts from several perspectives for the creation of MOF-based immobilized enzymes for biotechnological uses.

Abstract
This review delves into the potential of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles in augmenting the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, with a special focus on the delivery of programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitors. The multifunctional nature of ZIF-8 nanoparticles as drug carriers is emphasized, with their ability to encapsulate a range of therapeutic agents, including PD-1 inhibitors, and facilitate their targeted delivery to tumor locations. By manipulating the pore size and surface characteristics of ZIF-8 nanoparticles, controlled drug release can be realized. The strategic use of ZIF-8 nanoparticles to deliver PD-1 inhibitors presents a precise and targeted modality for cancer treatment, reducing off-target impacts and enhancing therapeutic effectiveness. This combined strategy addresses the existing challenges and constraints of current immunotherapy techniques, with the ultimate goal of enhancing patient outcomes in cancer therapy.

Abstract
The development of minimally invasive technology has promoted the widespread use of implant interventional materials, which play an important role in alleviating patients' pain during and after surgery. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their related hybrids formed by bridging ligands and metal nodes via covalent bonds represent one of the smart platforms in implant interventional fields due to their large surface area, adjustable compositions and structures, biodegradability, etc. Significant progresses in the implantation application of MOF-based materials have been achieved recently, but these studies are still in the initial stage. This review highlights the recent advances of MOFs and their related hybrids in orthopedic implantation, cardio-vascular implantation, neural tissue engineering, and biochemical sensing. Each correction between the structural features of MOFs and their corresponding implanted works is highlighted. Finally, the confronting challenges and future perspectives in the implant interventional field are discussed.

Abstract
To make a drug work better, the active substance can be incorporated into a vehicle for optimal protection and control of the drug delivery time and space. For making the drug carrier, the porous metal-organic framework (MOF) can offer high drug-loading capacity and various designs for effective drug delivery performance, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Nevertheless, its degradation process is complex and not easily predictable, and the toxicity concern related to the MOF degradation products remains a challenge for their clinical translation. Here, we describe an in-depth molecular and nanoscale degradation mechanism of aluminum- and iron-based nanoMIL-100 materials exposed to phosphate-buffered saline. Using a combination of analytical tools, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and electron microscopy, we demonstrate qualitatively and quantitatively the formation of a new coordination bond between metal(III) and phosphate, trimesate release, and correlation between these two processes. Moreover, the extent of material erosion, i.e., bulk or surface erosion, was examined from the transformation of nanoparticles' surface, morphology, and interaction with water. Similar analyses show the impact of drug loading and surface coating on nanoMIL-100 degradation and drug release as a function of the metal-ligand binding strength. Our results indicate how the chemistry of nanoMIL-100(Al) and nanoMIL-100(Fe) drug carriers affects their degradation behaviors in a simulated physiological medium. This difference in behavior between the two nanoMIL-100s enables us to better correlate the nanoscale and atomic-scale mechanisms of the observed phenomena, thus validating the presented multiscale approach.

[PMID: 38042375 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.11.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a biomaterial that has been increasingly studied in recent years. It has several applications such as bone regeneration, promotion of angiogenesis, drug loading, and antibacterial activity, and exerts multiple effects to deal with various problems in the process of bone regeneration. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the applications and effectiveness of ZIF-8 in bone regeneration. A search of papers published in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases revealed 532 relevant studies. Title, abstract, and full-text screening resulted in 39 papers being included in the review, including 39 in vitro and 22 animal studies. Appropriate concentrations of nano ZIF-8 can promote cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation by releasing Zn2+ and entering the cell, whereas high doses of ZIF-8 are cytotoxic and inhibit osteogenic differentiation. In addition, five studies confirmed that ZIF-8 exhibits good vasogenic activity. In all in vivo experiments, nano ZIF-8 promoted bone formation. These results indicate that, at appropriate concentrations, materials containing ZIF-8 promote bone regeneration more than materials without ZIF-8, and with characteristics such as promoting angiogenesis, drug loading, and antibacterial activity, it is expected to show promising applications in the field of bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This manuscript reviewed the use of ZIF-8 in bone regeneration, clarified the biocompatibility and effectiveness in promoting bone regeneration of ZIF-8 materials, and discussed the possible mechanisms and factors affecting its promotion of bone regeneration. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the latest advances in the field of bone regeneration of ZIF-8, serves as a design guide, and contributes to the design of future experimental studies.

Abstract
Enzyme-prodrug therapies have shown unique advantages in efficiency, selectivity, and specificity of in vivo prodrug activation. However, precise spatiotemporal control of both the enzyme and its substrate at the target site, preservation of enzyme activity, and in situ substrate depletion due to low prodrug delivery efficiency continue to be great challenges. Here, we propose a novel core-shell reactor partitioning enzyme and prodrug by ZIF-8, which integrates an enzyme with its substrate and increases the drug loading capacity (DLC) using a prodrug as the building ligand to form a Zn-prodrug shell. Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) is immobilized in ZIF-8, and the antitumor drug dacarbazine (DTIC) is coordinated and deposited in its outer layer with a high DLC of 43.6±0.8 %. With this configuration, a much higher prodrug conversion efficiency of CYP450 (36.5±1.5 %) and lower IC50 value (26.3±2.6 μg/mL) are measured for B16-F10 cells with a higher NADPH concentration than those of L02 cells and HUVECs. With the tumor targeting ability of hyaluronic acid, this core-shell enzyme reactor shows a high tumor suppression rate of 96.6±1.9 % and provides a simple and versatile strategy for enabling in vivo biocatalysis to be more efficient, selective, and safer.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44601-44610. [PMID: 38046327 PMCID: PMC10688176 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c04973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Nanosized zeolitic imidazolate framework particles (ZIF-8 nanoparticles [NPs]) have strong potential as effective carriers for both in vivo and in vitro protein drug delivery. Synthesis of ZIF-8 and stability of protein encapsulation within ZIF-8 are affected by several factors, notably the metal ion source and molar ratio. To systematically investigate these factors, we investigated such effects using BSA as a model test protein to synthesize BSA@ZIF-8 NPs at various metal-to-ligand (M:L) ratios. SEM, FTIR, XRD, and DLS were applied to characterize the morphology and structure of BSA@ZIF-8 NPs and their effects on protein loading capacity. Degradation kinetics and protein release behavior of BSA@ZIF-8 NPs were evaluated at pH 5.0 (to simulate the tumor environment) and pH 7.4 (to mimic the blood environment). Our objective was to define optimal combinations of the high protein loading rate and rapid release under varying pH conditions, and we found that (i) the yield of BSA@ZIF-8 NPs decreased as the M:L ratio increased, but the protein content increased. This highlights the need to strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and practicality when selecting ZIF-8 NPs with different molar ratios for protein-based drug formulation. (ii) BSA@ZIF-8 NPs exhibited cruciate flower-like shapes when synthesized using Zn(NO3)2 as the zinc precursor at M:L ratios of 1:16 or 1:20. In all other cases, the NPs displayed a regular rhombic dodecahedral structure. Notably, the release behavior of the NPs did not differ significantly between these morphologies. (iii) When Zn(OAc)2 was used as the zinc precursor, the synthesized ZIF-8 NPs exhibited a smaller size compared to the Zn(NO3)2-derived ZIF-8 NPs. (iv) The release rate and amount of BSA protein were higher at pH 5.0 compared to pH 7.4. (v) Among the different formulations, BSA@ZIF-8 with an M:L ratio of 1:16 at pH 5.0 was observed to have a shorter time to reach a plateau (0.5 h) and higher protein release, making it suitable for locally rapid administration in a tumor environment. BSA@ZIF-8 prepared from Zn(OAc)2 at an M:L ratio of 1:140 showed the slower release of BSA protein over a 24-h period, indicating its suitability for sustained release delivery. In conclusion, our findings provide a useful basis for the practical application of ZIF-8 NPs in protein-based drug delivery systems.

Metal Organic Framework-Incorporated Three-Dimensional (3D) Bio-Printable Hydrogels to Facilitate Bone Repair: Preparation and In Vitro Bioactivity Analysis. Gels 2023; 9:923. [PMID: 38131909 PMCID: PMC10742699 DOI: 10.3390/gels9120923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) water-swellable polymeric matrices that are used extensively in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Hydrogels can be conformed into any desirable shape using 3D bio-printing, making them suitable for personalized treatment. Among the different 3D bio-printing techniques, digital light processing (DLP)-based printing offers the advantage of quickly fabricating high resolution structures, reducing the chances of cell damage during the printing process. Here, we have used DLP to 3D bio-print biocompatible gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) scaffolds intended for bone repair. GelMA is biocompatible, biodegradable, has integrin binding motifs that promote cell adhesion, and can be crosslinked easily to form hydrogels. However, GelMA on its own is incapable of promoting bone repair and must be supplemented with pharmaceutical molecules or growth factors, which can be toxic or expensive. To overcome this limitation, we introduced zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles into GelMA that can promote osteogenic differentiation, providing safer and more affordable alternatives to traditional methods. Incorporation of this nanoparticle into GelMA hydrogel has demonstrated significant improvement across multiple aspects, including bio-printability, and favorable mechanical properties (showing a significant increase in the compressive modulus from 52.14 ± 19.42 kPa to 128.13 ± 19.46 kPa with the addition of ZIF-8 nanoparticles). The designed nanocomposite hydrogels can also sustain drug (vancomycin) release (maximum 87.52 ± 1.6% cumulative amount) and exhibit a remarkable ability to differentiate human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells toward the osteogenic lineage. Furthermore, the formulated MOF-integrated nanocomposite hydrogel offers the unique capability to coat metallic implants intended for bone healing. Overall, the remarkable printability and coating ability displayed by the nanocomposite hydrogel presents itself as a promising candidate for drug delivery, cell delivery and bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The field of nanomedicine is rapidly evolving, with new materials and formulations being reported almost daily. In this respect, inorganic and inorganic-organic composite nanomaterials have gained significant attention. However, the use of new materials in clinical trials and their final approval as drugs has been hampered by several challenges, one of which is the complex and difficult to control nanomaterial chemistry that takes place within the body. Several reviews have summarized investigations on inorganic nanomaterial stability in model body fluids, cell cultures, and organisms, focusing on their degradation as well as the influence of corona formation. However, in addition to these aspects, various chemical reactions of nanomaterials, including phase transformation and/or the formation of new/secondary nanomaterials, have been reported. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of biochemical transformations of medically relevant inorganic (composite) nanomaterials in environments related to their applications. We provide a refined terminology for the primary reaction mechanisms involved to bridge the gaps between different disciplines involved in this research. Furthermore, we highlight suitable analytical techniques that can be harnessed to explore the described reactions. Finally, we highlight opportunities to utilize them for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes and discuss current challenges and research priorities.

Abstract
A selenium-containing metal-organic framework with remarkable antioxidant capacity and ROS-scavenging activity was constructed by a controlled de novo encapsulation approach of a glycoconjugate mimetic, specifically a sp2-iminoglycolipid bearing a selenoureido fragment (DSeU), within a zeolitic-imidazolate framework exoskeleton. Biocompatible and homogeneous nanosized particles of ∼70 nm (DSeU@ZIF8) were obtained, which could be efficiently internalized in cells, overcoming the poor solubility in biological media and limited bioavailability of glycolipids. The ZIF-particle served as nanocarrier for the intracellular delivery of the selenocompound to cells, promoted by the acidic pH inside endosomes/lysosomes. As demonstrated by in vitro studies, the designed DSeU@ZIF8 nanoparticles displayed a high antioxidant activity at low doses; lower intracellular ROS levels were observed upon the uptake of DSeU@ZIF8 by human endothelial cells. Even more interesting was the finding that these DSeU@ZIF8 particles were able to reverse to a certain level the oxidative stress induced in cells by pre-treatment with an oxidizing agent. This possibility of modulating the oxidative stress in living cells may have important implications in the treatment of diverse pathological complications that are generally accompanied with elevated ROS levels.

Abstract
3D-oriented metal-organic framework (MOF) films and patterns have recently emerged as promising platforms for sensing and photonic applications. These oriented polycrystalline materials are typically prepared by heteroepitaxial growth from aligned inorganic nanostructures and display anisotropic functional properties, such as guest molecule alignment and polarized fluorescence. However, to identify suitable conditions for the integration of these 3D-oriented MOF superstructures into functional devices, the effect of water (gaseous and liquid) on different frameworks should be determined. We note that the hydrolytic stability of these heteroepitaxially grown MOF films is currently unexplored. In this work, we present an in-depth analysis of the structural evolution of aligned 2D and 3D Cu-based MOFs grown from Cu(OH)2 coatings. Specifically, 3D-oriented Cu2L2 and Cu2L2DABCO films (L = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, BDC; biphenyl-4,4-dicarboxylate, BPDC; DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) were exposed to 50% relative humidity (RH), 80% RH and liquid water. The combined use of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy shows that the sensitivity towards humid environments critically depends on the presence of the DABCO pillar ligand. While oriented films of 2D MOF layers stay intact upon exposure to all levels of humidity, hydrolysis of Cu2L2DABCO is observed. In addition, we report that in environments with high water content, 3D-oriented Cu2(BDC)2DABCO recrystallizes as 3D-oriented Cu2(BDC)2. The heteroepitaxial MOF-to-MOF transformation mechanism was studied with in situ synchrotron experiments, time-resolved AFM measurements, and electron diffraction. These findings provide valuable information on the stability of oriented MOF films for their application in functional devices and highlight the potential for the fabrication of 3D-oriented superstructures via MOF-to-MOF transformations.

Abstract
Functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that integrate targeted tumor imaging and drug delivery are expected to significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy of cancer. However, the complicated synthesis process has greatly limited their utilization in clinical application. Herein, a one-step simple method was used to construct novel multifunctional MOFs by co-loading doxorubicin (DOX) and Fe3O4 into the ZIF-8 with sodalite topology. DOX serves as a fluorescence imaging reagent and an anticancer drug and Fe3O4 is used as a magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic targeting anticancer reagent. The fabricated DOX/Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite showed excellent fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging performances in tumors. Moreover, DOX/Fe3O4@ZIF-8 can be accumulated in tumors via a magnetic targeting effect and tumor growth could be inhibited in vivo due to the release of DOX. Additionally, the apoptosis process of DOX/Fe3O4@ZIF-8 on HepG2 cells is well investigated. Overall, DOX/Fe3O4@ZIF-8 synthesized in simple one step can be used for simultaneous targeted bioimaging and cancer therapy.

Yu J, Li Q, Wei Z, Fan G, Wan F, Tian L. Ultra-stable MOF@MOF nanoplatform for photodynamic therapy sensitized by relieved hypoxia due to mitochondrial respiration inhibition. Acta Biomater 2023; 170:330-343. [PMID: 37607616 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.08.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with periodically arranged porphyrinic linkers avoiding the self-quenching issue of porphyrins in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been widely applied. However, the porphyrinic MOFs still face challenges of poor stability under physiological conditions and limited photodynamic efficiency by the hypoxia condition of tumors. Herein, we fabricate the MOF@MOF structure with a protective MOF shell to improve the stability and relieve the hypoxia condition of tumors for sensitized PDT. Under protection of the MOF shell, the MOF@MOF structure can keep intact for 96 h under physiological conditions. Consequently, the tumoral accumulation efficiency is two folds of the MOF core. Furthermore, the MOF shell decomposes under acidic environment, and the loaded inhibitor of mitochondria pyruvate carrier (7-amino carboxycoumarins-2, 7ACC2) will be released. 7ACC2 inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate influx and simultaneously blocks glucose and lactate from fueling the mitochondrial respiration, thereupon relieving the hypoxia condition of tumors. Under a 5-min laser irradiation, the 7ACC2 carrying MOF@MOF nanoplatforms induced doubled cellular apoptosis and reduced 70% of the tumor growth compared with the cargo-free MOF@MOF. In summary, the design of this stable and hypoxia self-relievable MOF@MOF nanoplatform will enlighten the future development of MOF-based nanomedicines and PDT. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Though widely used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in previous studies, porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) still face challenges in poor stability under physiological conditions and limited photodynamic efficiency due to the hypoxia condition of tumors. In order to solve these problems, (1) we develop the MOF@MOF strategy to improve the physiological stability; (2) an inhibitor of mitochondria pyruvate carrier, 7-amino carboxycoumarins-2 (7ACC2), is loaded to inhibit the mitochondrial pyruvate influx and simultaneously block glucose and lactate from fueling the mitochondrial respiration, thereupon relieving the hypoxia condition of tumors. In comparison with previous studies, our strategy simultaneously improves stability and overcomes the limited PDT efficiency in the hypoxia tumor tissue, which will enlighten the future development of MOF-based nanomedicines and PDT.

Abstract
AIM The profound potential of zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF8) thin film for inducing osteogenesis has been previously established under in vitro conditions. As the next step towards the clinical application of ZIF8-modified substrates in periodontology, this in vivo study aimed to evaluate the ability of the ZIF8 crystalline layer to induce bone regeneration in an animal model defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following the mechanical characterization of the membranes and analysing the in vitro degradation of the ZIF8 layer, in vivo bone regeneration was evaluated in a critical-sized (5-mm) rat calvarial bone defect model. For each animal, one defect was randomly covered with either a polypropylene (PP) or a ZIF8-modified membrane (n = 7 per group), while the other defect was left untreated as a control. Eight weeks post surgery, bone formation was assessed by microcomputed tomography scanning, haematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS The ZIF8-modified membrane outperformed the PP membrane in terms of mechanical properties and revealed a trace Zn+2 release. Results of in vivo evaluation verified the superior barrier function of the ZIF8-coated membrane compared with pristine PP membrane. Compared with the limited marginal bone formation in the control and PP groups, the defect area was almost filled with mature bone in the ZIF8-coated membrane group. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the effectiveness of the ZIF8-coated membrane as a promising material for improving clinical outcomes of guided bone regeneration procedures, without using biological components.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline porous materials with outstanding physical and chemical properties that make them suitable candidates in many fields, such as catalysis, sensing, energy production, and drug delivery. By combining MOFs with polymeric substrates, advanced functional materials are devised with excellent potential for biomedical applications. In this research, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8), a zinc-based MOF, was selected together with cellulose, an almost inexhaustible polymeric raw material produced by nature, to prepare cellulose/ZIF-8 composite flat sheets via an in-situ growing single-step method in aqueous media. The composite materials were characterized by several techniques (IR, XRD, SEM, TGA, ICP, and BET) and their antibacterial activity as well as their biocompatibility in a mammalian model system were investigated. The cellulose/ZIF-8 samples remarkably inhibited the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative reference strains, and, notably, they proved to be effective against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa presenting different antibiotic resistance profiles. As these pathogens are of primary importance in skin diseases and in the delayed healing of wounds, and the cellulose/ZIF-8 composites met the requirements of biological safety, the herein materials reveal a great potential for use as gauze pads in the management of wound infections.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have found increasing applications in the biomedical field due to their unique properties and high modularity. Although the limited stability of MOFs in biological environments is increasingly recognized, analytical techniques have not yet been harnessed to their full potential to assess the biological fate of MOFs. Here, we investigate the environment-dependent biochemical transformations of widely researched nanosized MOFs (nMOFs) under conditions relevant to their medical application. We assess the chemical stability of antimicrobial zinc-based drug delivery nMOFs (Zn-ZIF-8 and Zn-ZIF-8:Ce) and radio-enhancer candidate nMOFs (Hf-DBA, Ti-MIL-125, and TiZr-PCN-415) containing biologically nonessential group IV metal ions. We reveal that even a moderate decrease in pH to values encountered in lysosomes (pH 4.5-5) leads to significant dissolution of ZIF-8 and partial dissolution of Ti-MIL-125, whereas no substantial dissolution was observed for TiZr-PCN-415 and Hf-DBA nMOFs. Exposure to phosphate-rich buffers led to phosphate incorporation in all nMOFs, resulting in amorphization and morphological changes. Interestingly, long-term cell culture studies revealed that nMOF (bio)transformations of, e.g., Ti-MIL-125 were cellular compartment-dependent and that the phosphate content in the nMOF varied significantly between nMOFs localized in lysosomes and those in the cytoplasm. These results illustrate the delicate nature and environment-dependent properties of nMOFs across all stages of their life cycle, including storage, formulation, and application, and the need for in-depth analyses of biotransformations for an improved understanding of structure-function relationships. The findings encourage the considerate choice of suspension buffers for MOFs because these media may lead to significant material alterations prior to application.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting 44 million people worldwide. Although many issues (pathogenesis, genetics, clinical features, and pathological aspects) are still unknown, this disease is characterized by noticeable hallmarks such as the formation of β-amyloid plaques, hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, and the reduction of acetylcholine levels. There is still no cure for AD and the current treatments are aimed at regulating the cholinesterase levels, attenuating symptoms temporarily rather than preventing the AD progression. In this context, coordination compounds are regarded as a promissing tool in AD treatment and/or diagnosis. Coordination compounds (discrete or polymeric) possess several features that make them an interesting option for developing new drugs for AD (good biocompatibility, porosity, synergetic effects of ligand-metal, fluorescence, particle size, homogeneity, monodispersity, etc.). This review discusses the recent progress in the development of novel discrete metal complexes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the treatment, diagnosis and theragnosis of AD. These advanced therapies for AD treatment are organized according to the target: Aβ peptides, hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, synaptic dysfunction, and mitochondrial failure with subsequent oxidative stress.

Abstract
Metal-organic coordination polymers (CPs) are a broad class of materials that include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). CPs are highly ordered crystalline materials that are composed of metal ions (or metal ion clusters) and multidentate organic ligands that serve as linkers. One-, two-, and three-dimensional CPs can be formed, with 2D and 3D structures referred to as MOFs. CPs have gained a lot of attention due to attractive structural features like structure versatility and tunability, and well-defined pores that enable the encapsulation of cargo. Further, CPs show a lot of promise for drug delivery applications, but only a very limited number of CPs are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. In this review, we outlined features that are desired for CP-based drug delivery platform, and briefly described most relevant characterization techniques. We highlighted some of the recent efforts directed toward developing CP-based drug delivery platforms with the emphasis on vaccines against cancer, infectious diseases, and viruses. We hope this review will be a helpful guide for those interested in the design and evaluation of CP-based immunological drug delivery platforms. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Novel biocatalysts that feature enzymes immobilized onto solid supports have recently become a major research focus in an effort to create more sustainable and greener chemistries in catalysis. Many of these novel biocatalyst systems feature enzymes immobilized onto metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have been shown to increase enzyme activity, stability, and recyclability in industrial processes. While the strategies used for immobilizing enzymes onto MOFs can vary, the conditions always require a buffer to maintain the functionality of the enzymes during immobilization. This report brings attention to critical buffer effects important to consider when developing enzyme/MOF biocatalysts, specifically for buffering systems containing phosphate ions. A comparative analysis of different enzyme/MOF biocatalysts featuring horseradish peroxidase and/or glucose oxidase immobilized onto the MOFs UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, and UiO-67 using a noncoordinate buffering system (MOPSO buffer) and a phosphate buffering system (PBS) show that phosphate ions can have an inhibitory effect. Previous studies utilizing phosphate buffers for enzyme immobilization onto MOFs have shown Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra that have been assigned stretching frequencies associated with enzymes after immobilization. Analyses and characterizations using zeta potential measurements, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, powder X-ray diffraction, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and FT-IR show concerning differences in enzyme loading and activity based on the buffering system used during immobilization.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently under progressive development as a tool for non-viral biomolecule delivery. Biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids can be encapsulated in MOFs for therapeutic purposes. The favorable physicochemical properties of MOFs make them an attractive choice for delivering a wide range of biomolecules including nucleic acids. Herein, a green fluorescence protein (GFP)-expressing plasmid DNA (pDNA) is used as a representative of a biomolecule to encapsulate within a Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) called a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). The synthesized biocomposites are coated with positively charged amino acids (AA) to understand the effect of surface functionalization on the delivery of pDNA to prostate cancer (PC-3) cells. FTIR and zeta potential confirm the successful preparation of positively charged amino acid-functionalized derivatives of pDNA@ZIF (i.e., pDNA@ZIFAA). Moreover, XRD and SEM data show that the functionalized derivates retain the pristine crystallinity and morphology of pDNA@ZIF. The coated biocomposites provide enhanced uptake of genetic material by PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. The AA-modulated fine-tuning of the surface charge of biocomposites results in better interaction with the cell membrane and enhances cellular uptake. These results suggest that pDNA@ZIFAA can be a promising alternative tool for non-viral gene delivery.

Abstract
Nanorobotic manipulation to access subcellular organelles remains unmet due to the challenge in achieving intracellular controlled propulsion. Intracellular organelles, such as mitochondria, are an emerging therapeutic target with selective targeting and curative efficacy. We report an autonomous nanorobot capable of active mitochondria-targeted drug delivery, prepared by facilely encapsulating mitochondriotropic doxorubicin-triphenylphosphonium (DOX-TPP) inside zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanoparticles. The catalytic ZIF-67 body can decompose bioavailable hydrogen peroxide overexpressed inside tumor cells to generate effective intracellular mitochondriotropic movement in the presence of TPP cation. This nanorobot-enhanced targeted drug delivery induces mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and mitochondrial dysregulation to improve the in vitro anticancer effect and suppression of cancer cell metastasis, further verified by in vivo evaluations in the subcutaneous tumor model and orthotopic breast tumor model. This nanorobot unlocks a fresh field of nanorobot operation with intracellular organelle access, thereby introducing the next generation of robotic medical devices with organelle-level resolution for precision therapy.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:5774-5782. [PMID: 37265713 PMCID: PMC10231336 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc00500c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is becoming popular in research for its potential in antigen protection and for providing a thermally stable, slow-release platform. While papers applying this material for immunological applications are aplenty in the literature, studies that explore the biosafety of ZIF-8 in mammals-especially when administered intranasally-are not well represented. We checked the body clearance of uncoated and ZIF-8-coated liposomes and observed that the release slowed as ZIF-8 is easily degraded by mucosal fluid in the nasal cavity. We delivered varying doses of ZIF-8, checked its short- and long-term effects on diagnostic proteins found in blood serum, and found no noticeable differences from the saline control group. We also studied their lung diffusing capacity and tissue morphology; neither showed significant changes in morphology or function.

Abstract
A novel sorbent Cu-S metal-organic framework (MOF) microrods was prepared for dispersive solid-phase extraction via microwave synthesis and used to determine 12 fluoroquinolones (FQs) in honey samples employing ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The best extraction efficiency was achieved by optimizing sample pH, sorbent quantity, eluent type/volume, and extraction and elution time. The proposed MOF exhibits advantages such as rapid synthesis time (20 min) and outstanding adsorption ability toward zwitterionic FQs. These advantages can be attributed to multiple interactions, including hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, and hydrophobic interaction. The limits of detection of analytes were 0.005-0.045 ng g-1. Acceptable recoveries (79.3%-95.6%) were obtained under the optimal conditions. Precision (relative standard deviation, RSD) was <9.2%. These results demonstrate the utility of our sample preparation method and the high capacity of Cu-S MOF microrods for rapid and selective extraction of FQs from honey samples.

Abstract
Separation is one of the most energy-intensive processes in the chemical industry, and membrane-based separation technology contributes significantly to energy conservation and emission reduction. Additionally, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been widely investigated and have been found to have enormous potential in membrane separation due to their uniform pore size and high designability. Notably, pure MOF films and MOF mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are the core of the "next generation" MOF materials. However, there are some tough issues with MOF-based membranes that affect separation performance. For pure MOF membranes, problems such as framework flexibility, defects, and grain orientation need to be addressed. Meanwhile, there still exist bottlenecks for MMMs such as MOF aggregation, plasticization and aging of the polymer matrix, poor interface compatibility, etc. Herein, corresponding methods are introduced to solve these problems, including inhibiting framework flexibility, regulating synthesis conditions, and enhancing the interaction between MOF and substrate. A series of high-quality MOF-based membranes have been obtained based on these techniques. Overall, these membranes revealed desired separation performance in both gas separation (e.g., CO2, H2, and olefin/paraffin) and liquid separation (e.g., water purification, organic solvent nanofiltration, and chiral separation).

Abstract
Traditional cold chain systems of collection, transportation, and storage of biofluid specimens for eventual analysis pose a huge financial and environmental burden. These systems are impractical in pre-hospital and resource-limited settings, where refrigeration and electricity are not reliable or even available. Here, we develop an innovative technology using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a novel class of organic-inorganic hybrids with high thermal stability, as encapsulates for preserving the integrity of protein biomarkers in biofluids under ambient or non-refrigerated storage conditions. We encapsulate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in whole patient plasma using hydrophilic zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) for preservation at 40 °C for 4 weeks and eventual on-demand reconstitution for antibody-based assays with recovery above 95% compared to storage at -20 °C. Without ZIF-90 encapsulation, only 10-30% of the PSA immunoactivity remained. Furthermore, we demonstrate encapsulation of multiple cancer biomarker proteins in whole patient plasma using ZIF-8 or ZIF-90 encapsulants for eventual on-demand reconstitution and analysis after 1 week at 40 °C. Overall, MOF encapsulation of patient biofluids is important as climate change may be affecting the stability and increase costs of maintaining biospecimen cold chain custody for the collection, transportation, and storage of biospecimens prior to analysis or for biobanking regardless of any countries' affluence.

Abstract
Laccase from Aspergillus sp. (LC) was immobilized on functionalized silica hierarchical (microporous-macroporous) MFI zeolite (ZMFI). The obtained immobilized biocatalyst (LC#ZMFI) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, solid-state NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirming the chemical anchoring of the enzyme to the zeolitic support. The optimal pH, kinetic parameters (KM and Vmax), specific activity, as well as both storage and operational stability of LC#ZMFI were determined. The LC#ZMFI KM and Vmax values amount to 10.3 µM and 0.74 µmol·mg-1 min-1, respectively. The dependence of specific activity on the pH for free and immobilized LC was investigated in the pH range of 2-7, The highest specific activity was obtained at pH = 3 for both free LC and LC#ZMFI. LC#ZMFI retained up to 50 % and 30 % of its original activity after storage of 21 and 30 days, respectively. Immobilization of laccase on hierarchical silica MFI zeolite allows to carry out the reaction under acidic pH values without affecting the support structure.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are versatile compounds with emergent applications in the fabrication of biosensors for amyloid diseases. They hold great potential in biospecimen protection and unprecedented probing capabilities for optical and redox receptors. In this Review, we summarize the main methodologies employed in the fabrication of MOF-based sensors for amyloid diseases and collect all available data in the literature related to their performance (detection range, limit of detection, recovery, time of analysis, among other parameters). Nowadays, MOF sensors have evolved to a point where they can, in some cases, outperform technologies employed in the detection of several amyloid biomarkers (amyloid β peptide, α-synuclein, insulin, procalcitonin, and prolactin) present in biological fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and blood. A special emphasis has been given by researchers on Alzheimer's disease monitoring to the detriment of other amyloidosis that are underexploited despite their societal relevance (e.g., Parkinson's disease). There are still important obstacles to overcome in order to selectively detect the various peptide isoforms and soluble amyloid species associated with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, MOF contrast agents for imaging peptide soluble oligomers in living humans are also scarce (if not nonexistent), and action in this direction is unquestionably required to clarify the contentious link between the amyloidogenic species and the disease, guiding research toward the most promising therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by the M. tuberculosis bacteria infection and is listed as one of the deadliest diseases to date. Despite the development of antituberculosis drugs, the need for long-term drug consumption and low patient commitment are obstacles to the success of TB treatment. A continuous drug delivery system that has a long-term effect is needed to reduce routine drug consumption intervals, suppress infection, and prevent the emergence of drug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. For this reason, biomolecule metal-organic framework (BioMOF) with good biocompatibility, nontoxicity, bioactivity, and high stability are becoming potential drug carriers. This study used a bioactive protocatechuic acid (PCA) as organic linker to prepare copper-based BioMOF Cu-PCA under base-modulated conditions. Detailed crystal analysis by the powder X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the Cu-PCA, with a chemical formula of C14H16O13Cu3, crystalizes as triclinic in space group P1. Comprehensive physicochemical characterizations were provided using FTIR, SEM, XPS, TGA, EA, and N2 sorption. As a drug carrier, Cu-PCA showed a high maximum rifampicin (RIF) drug loading of 443.01 mg/g. Upon resuspension in PBS, the RIF and linkers release profile exhibited two-stage release kinetic profiles, which are well described by the Biphasic Dose Response (BiDoseResp) model. A complete release of these compounds (RIF and PCA) was achieved after ~9 h of mixing in PBS. Cu-PCA and RIF@Cu-PCA possessed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, and good biocompatibility is evidenced by the high viability of MH-S mice alveolar macrophage cells upon supplementations.

Abstract
Encapsulating antigens with zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) exhibits many advantages in vaccine development. However, most viral antigens with complex particulate structures are sensitive to pH or ionic strength, which cannot tolerate harsh synthesis conditions of ZIF-8. Balancing the viral integrity and the growth of ZIF-8 crystals is crucial for the successful encapsulation of these environment-sensitive antigens in ZIF-8. Here, we explored the synthesis of ZIF-8 on inactivated foot and mouth disease virus (known as 146S), which is easily disassociated into no immunogenic subunits under the existing ZIF-8 synthesis conditions. Our results showed that intact 146S could be encapsulated into ZIF-8 with high embedding efficiency by lowering the pH of the 2-MIM solution to 9.0. The size and morphology of 146S@ZIF-8 could be further optimized by increasing the amount of Zn2+ or adding cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). 146S@ZIF-8 with a uniform diameter of about 49 nm could be synthesized by adding 0.01% CTAB, which was speculated to be composed of single 146S armored with nanometer-scale ZIF-8 crystal networks. Plenty of histidine on the 146S surface forms a unique His-Zn-MIM coordination in the near vicinity of 146S particles, which greatly increases the thermostability of 146S by about 5 °C, and the nano-scale ZIF-8 crystal coating exhibited extraordinary stability to resist EDTE-treatment. More importantly, the well-controlled size and morphology enabled 146S@ZIF-8(0.01% CTAB) to facilitate antigen uptake. The immunization of 146S@ZIF-8(4×Zn2+) or 146S@ZIF-8(0.01% CTAB) significantly enhanced the specific antibody titers and promoted the differentiation of memory T cells without adding another immunopotentiator. This study reported for the first time the strategy of the synthesis of crystalline ZIF-8 on an environment-sensitive antigen and demonstrated that the nano-size and appropriate morphology of ZIF-8 are crucial to exert adjuvant effects, thus expanding the application of MOFs in vaccine delivery.

Abstract
Herein, we have evaluated the potential of dye-encapsulation as a simple mechanism to self-report the stability of MOFs for pollutant extraction applications. This enabled the visual detection of material stability issues during the selected applications. As proof-of-concept, the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) material was prepared in aqueous medium and at room temperature in the presence of the dye rhodamine B. The total amount of loaded rhodamine B was determined using UV-vis spectrophotometry. The prepared dye-encapsulated ZIF-8 showed a comparable extraction performance with bare ZIF-8 for the removal of hydrophobic endocrine-disrupting phenols, such as 4-tert-octylphenol and 4-nonylphenol, and improved the extraction performance of more hydrophilic endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A and 4-tert-butylphenol.

Abstract
Accurate on-site profiling of the pollutants is of vital significance for estimating environmental pollution. Herein, we propose a paper-based fluorescence-sensing system to precisely report the level of multiple pollutants. A high-performance fluorescence-sensor for apparatus-free and visual on-site tandem precisely reporting phosphate ions (Pi), o-phenylenediamine (OPD), and benzaldehyde (BA) levels have been fabricated successfully by introducing synthesized red emission (>600 nm) fluorescent chromophore 10-(diethylamino)-3-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrobenzo [c]xanthen-12-ium (HTD) into the environment of CoZn zeolitic imidazolate framework (CoZn ZIF) by a simple stirring method. CoZn ZIF@HTD with the bimetallic nodes not merely provided main Zn2+ sites for specific recognition of Pi to generate an enhanced red fluorescent optical signal, Co3+/Co2+ exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity for the catalytic oxidation of OPD substrate in the presence of H2O2 resulting in color changing from red to yellow. Subsequently, the obvious yellow fading of the OPDox species took place with the addition of BA. By virtue of the sensitively visual tandem detection of Pi, OPD, and BA, the sensor can be applied to real wastewater samples. Meanwhile, this fluorescent sensor was further adopted for practical application in confocal cell imaging and security inks. Overall, this work established a fluorescent sensing system with integrated multifunctional applications for environmental and biological samples, implying the great potential for simultaneous real-time cascade detection of various important pollutants with the merit of low-cost, time-saving, and easy-to-use.

Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Biodegradable Composites for Controlled Delivery of Antimicrobial Drugs. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010274.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global crisis with an increasing number of untreatable or exceedingly difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, due to their growing resistance to existing drugs. It is predicted that AMR will be the leading cause of death by 2050. In addition to ongoing efforts on preventive strategies and infection control, there is ongoing research towards the development of novel vaccines, antimicrobial agents, and optimised diagnostic practices to address AMR. However, developing new therapeutic agents and medicines can be a lengthy process. Therefore, there is a parallel ongoing worldwide effort to develop materials for optimised drug delivery to improve efficacy and minimise AMR. Examples of such materials include functionalisation of surfaces so that they can become self-disinfecting or non-fouling, and the development of nanoparticles with promising antimicrobial properties attributed to their ability to damage numerous essential components of pathogens. A relatively new class of materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is also being investigated for their ability to act as carriers of antimicrobial agents, because of their ultrahigh porosity and modular structures, which can be engineered to control the delivery mechanism of loaded drugs. Biodegradable polymers have also been found to show promising applications as antimicrobial carriers; and, recently, several studies have been reported on delivery of antimicrobial drugs using composites of MOF and biodegradable polymers. This review article reflects on MOFs and polymer-MOF composites, as carriers and delivery agents of antimicrobial drugs, that have been studied recently, and provides an overview of the state of the art in this highly topical area of research.
