Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1364287. [PMID: 38751803 PMCID: PMC11094645 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1364287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
An artificial semisynthetic material can be derived from artemisinin (ART) called dihydroartemisinin (DHA). Although DHA has enhanced antigiardial potential, its clinical application is limited because of its poor selectivity and low solubility. The drug's absorption has a direct impact on the cell, and mechanism research is limited to its destruction of the cytoskeleton. In this study, we used the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 and loaded it with DHA (DHA@Zif-8) to improve its antigiardial potential. DHA@Zif-8 can enhance cellular uptake, increase antigiardial proliferation and encystation, and expand the endoplasmic reticulum compared with the DHA-treated group. We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to investigate the antigiardial mechanism. We found that 126 genes were downregulated and 123 genes were upregulated. According to the KEGG and GO pathway analysis, the metabolic functions in G. lamblia are affected by DHA@Zif-8 NPs. We used real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to verify our results using the RNA-seq data. DHA@Zif-8 NPs significantly enhanced the eradication of the parasite from the stool in vivo. In addition, the intestinal mucosal injury caused by G. lamblia trophozoites markedly improved in the intestine. This research provided the potential of utilizing DHA@Zif-8 to develop an antiprotozoan drug for clinical applications.

A Dihydroartemisinin-Loaded Nanoreactor Motivates Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy by Synergy-Induced Ferroptosis to Activate Cgas/STING for Reprogramming of Macrophage. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301561.

Abstract
Infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) characterized by an M2 phenotype is an overriding feature in malignant tumors. Reprogramming TAM is the most cutting-edge strategy for cancer therapy. In the present study, an iron-based metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoreactor loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is developed, which provides high uptake by TAM and retains their viability, thus effectively addressing the inefficiency of the DHA at low concentrations. Impressively, DHA@MIL-101 can selectively accumulate in tumor tissues and remodel TAM to the M1 phenotype. The results of RNA sequencing further suggest that this nanoreactor may regulate ferroptosis, a DNA damage signaling pathway in TAM. Indeed, the outcomes confirm that DHA@MIL-101 triggers ferroptosis in TAM. In addition, the findings reveal that DNA damage induced by DHA nanoreactors activates the intracellular cGAS sensor, resulting in the binding of STING to IRF3 and thereby up-regulating the immunogenicity. In contrast, blocking ferroptosis impairs DHA@MIL-101-induced activation of STING signaling and phenotypic remodeling. Finally, it is shown that DHA nanoreactors deploy anti-tumor immunotherapy through ferroptosis-mediated TAM reprogramming. Taken together, immune efficacy is achieved through TAM's remodeling by delivering DHA and iron ions into TAM using nanoreactors, providing a novel approach for combining phytopharmaceuticals with nanocarriers to regulate the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
The metabolism of cancer has been an interesting hallmark and metabolic reprogramming, especially the change from oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria to glucose metabolism known as glycolysis occurs in cancer. The molecular profile of glycolysis, related molecular pathways and enzymes involved in this mechanism such as hexokinase have been fully understood. The glycolysis inhibition can significantly decrease tumorigenesis. On the other hand, circRNAs are new emerging non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules with potential biological functions and aberrant expression in cancer cells which have received high attention in recent years. CircRNAs have a unique covalently closed loop structure which makes them highly stable and reliable biomarkers in cancer. CircRNAs are regulators of molecular mechanisms including glycolysis. The enzymes involved in the glycolysis mechanism such as hexokinase are regulated by circRNAs to modulate tumor progression. Induction of glycolysis by circRNAs can significantly increase proliferation rate of cancer cells given access to energy and enhance metastasis. CircRNAs regulating glycolysis can influence drug resistance in cancers because of theirimpact on malignancy of tumor cells upon glycolysis induction. TRIM44, CDCA3, SKA2 and ROCK1 are among the downstream targets of circRNAs in regulating glycolysis in cancer. Additionally, microRNAs are key regulators of glycolysis mechanism in cancer cells and can affect related molecular pathways and enzymes. CircRNAs sponge miRNAs to regulate glycolysis as a main upstream mediator. Moreover, nanoparticles have been emerged as new tools in tumorigenesis suppression and in addition to drug and gene delivery, then mediate cancer immunotherapy and can be used for vaccine development. The nanoparticles can delivery circRNAs in cancer therapy and they are promising candidates in regulation of glycolysis, its suppression and inhibition of related pathways such as HIF-1α. The stimuli-responsive nanoparticles and ligand-functionalized ones have been developed for selective targeting of glycolysis and cancer cells, and mediating carcinogenesis inhibition.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a natural product derived from the herbal medicine Artemisia annua, is recently used as a novel anti-cancer agent. However, some intrinsic disadvantages limit its potential for clinical management of cancer patients, such as poor water solubility and low bioavailability. Nowadays, the nanoscale drug delivery system emerges as a hopeful platform for improve the anti-cancer treatment. Accordingly, a metal-organic framework (MOF) based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was designed and synthesized to carry DHA in the core (ZIF-DHA). Contrast with free DHA, these prepared ZIF-DHA nanoparticles (NPs) displayed preferable anti-tumor therapeutic activity in several ovarian cancer cells accompanied with suppressed production of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced apoptotic cell death. 4D-FastDIA-based mass spectrometry technology indicated that down-regulated reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (ROMO1) might be regarded as potential therapeutic targets for ZIF-DHA NPs. Overexpression of ROMO1 in ovarian cancer cells significantly reversed the cellular ROS-generation induced by ZIF-DHA, as well as the pro-apoptosis effects. Taken together, our study elucidated and highlighted the potential of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-based MOF to improve the activity of DHA to treat ovarian cancer. Our findings suggested that these prepared ZIF-DHA NPs could be an attractive therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The paradigm of drug delivery via particulate formulations is one of the leading ideas that enable overcoming limitations of traditional chemotherapeutic agents. The trend toward more complex multifunctional drug carriers is well-traced in the literature. Nowadays, the prospectiveness of stimuli-responsive systems capable of controlled cargo release in the lesion nidus is widely accepted. Both endogenous and exogenous stimuli are employed for this purpose; however, endogenous pH is the most common trigger. Unfortunately, scientists encounter multiple challenges on the way to the implementation of this idea related to the vehicles' accumulation in off-target tissues, their immunogenicity, the complexity of drug delivery to intracellular targets, and finally, the difficulties in the fabrication of carriers matching all imposed requirements. Here, we discuss fundamental strategies for pH-responsive drug delivery, as well as limitations related to such carriers' application, and reveal the main problems, weaknesses, and reasons for poor clinical results. Moreover, we attempted to formulate the profiles of an "ideal" drug carrier in the frame of different strategies drawing on the example of metal-comprising materials and considered recently published studies through the lens of these profiles. We believe that this approach will facilitate the formulation of the main challenges facing researchers and the identification of the most promising trends in technology development.

Abstract
Malaria is a life-threatening, blood-borne disease with over two hundred million cases throughout the world and is more prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else in the world. Over the years, several treatment agents have been developed for malaria; however, most of these active pharmaceutical ingredients exhibit poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability and may result in drug-resistant parasites, thus increasing malaria cases and eventually, deaths. Factors such as these in therapeutics have led to a better appreciation of nanomaterials. The ability of nanomaterials to function as drug carriers with a high loading capacity and targeted drug delivery, good biocompatibility, and low toxicity renders them an appealing alternative to conventional therapy. Nanomaterials such as dendrimers and liposomes have been demonstrated to be capable of enhancing the efficacy of antimalarial drugs. This review discusses the recent development of nanomaterials and their benefits in drug delivery for the potential treatment of malaria.

Abstract
This study investigates the fabrication and gas adsorption kinetics of an azobenzene (AZB)-modified titanium metal-organic framework (AZB@Ti-MOF) film composite optical waveguide (COWG) that recognizes ethylenediamine (EDA) gas. After modification with AZB, the surface of the Ti-MOF film became rough and evolved from a hemispherical structure to a petal-like structure; a large pore size and small specific surface area accompanied the evolution of the surface morphology. The AZB@Ti-MOF film COWG exhibited a positive response to EDA gas co-existing with the same concentration (1000 ppm) of benzenes, amines, and acidic gases. It is postulated that charge transfer occurs when the AZB@Ti-MOF film COWG adsorbs EDA gas, leading to significant strengthening of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds as EDA works as an electron donor. Incomplete or prolonged EDA desorption from the film surface at room temperature resulted in a decrease in the surface sensitivity of the COWG AZB@Ti-MOF film. The kinetics of EDA adsorption were examined using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic models. The EDA adsorption kinetics fit well with the PSO model. As measured at room temperature, the adsorption capacity (qe) per unit surface of the AZB@Ti-MOF films was 46.50 × 10-2 µg·cm-2.

Abstract
A variety of nanomaterials have been developed specifically for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery in cancer treatment. These materials involve both synthetic and natural nanoparticles and nanofibers of varying dimensions. The efficacy of a drug delivery system (DDS) depends on its biocompatibility, intrinsic high surface area, high interconnected porosity, and chemical functionality. Recent advances in metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have led to the achievement of these desirable features. MOFs consist of metal ions and organic linkers that are assembled in different geometries and can be produced in 0, 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. The defining features of MOFs are their outstanding surface area, interconnected porosity, and variable chemical functionality, which enable an endless range of modalities for loading drugs into their hierarchical structures. MOFs, coupled with biocompatibility requisites, are now regarded as highly successful DDSs for the treatment of diverse diseases. This review aims to present the development and applications of DDSs based on chemically-functionalized MOF nanostructures in the context of cancer treatment. A concise overview of the structure, synthesis, and mode of action of MOF-DDS is provided.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a plant-derived natural product, has recently been proven to be an effective therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, the poor water solubility and low bioavailability of DHA seriously impede its clinical applications. Herein, a simple and green strategy based on the self-assembly of DHA was developed to synthesize carrier-free nanoparticles (NPs). The resulting nanodrug (DHA NPs) was formed by the self-assembly of DHA molecules via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The DHA NPs exhibited a near-spherical morphology with narrow size distribution, favorable drug encapsulation efficiency (>92%), excellent stability, and on-demand drug release behavior. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that the DHA NPs exhibited significantly higher therapeutic efficacy than the DHA equivalent. In addition, we further explored the potential molecular mechanism of the DHA NPs by utilizing RNA-seq technology and western blotting analysis, which demonstrated that the p53 signaling pathway plays a crucial part in the process of inhibiting tumor cell growth and inducing apoptosis. This work not only reveals the rationale for developing pure nanodrugs via the self-assembly of natural small molecules for oncotherapy but also the investigation of the antitumor mechanism and provides novel theoretical support for the clinical usage of DHA.

Abstract
In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained attention in the biomedical field, particularly as drug carriers for treating tumors. Therefore, we decided to synthesize a novel benzoic acid Zn-based MOF and study the Zn-based MOFs' drug-delivery properties and the drug-delivery system's anticancer effects. This study successfully synthesized a zinc-based MOF using solvent thermal synthesis. The crystal structure of a Zn-based MOF was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, the results of UV spectrophotometry showed that Doxorubicin was successfully loaded with a loading amount of 33.74%. Furthermore, the drug release experiments demonstrated that the Zn-based MOF was pH-sensitive, releasing more at a pH of 3.8 than at pH 5.8 or 7.4. Finally, the Zn-based MOF loaded with drugs exhibited high antitumor activity against HepG2 cells while demonstrating remarkably low toxicity to normal cells (LO2). Taken together, these results demonstrate that the Zn-based MOF has the potential to serve as a carrier in the field of drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a widely used antimalarial agent, has clinical potential for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma. Although chemotherapy is indispensable for tumor therapy, it is generally limited by poor solubility, low efficiency, rapid clearance, and side effects. As an emerging treatment method, photothermal therapy (PTT) has many outstanding properties, but suffers from poor photostability of photosensitizer and incomplete ablation. Multimodal therapies could combine the advantages of different therapy methods to improve antitumor efficiency. Hence, we designed a nano-delivery system (ICG&DHA@ZIF-8) using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with a high porous rate and pH sensitivity property, to co-load DHA and indocyanine green (ICG). Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. The photothermal conversion and drug release performances of ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 were investigated. In vitro antitumor efficacy and cellular uptake were studied. The mechanism of the combination treatment was studied by reactive oxygen species level detection and western blot assays. In vivo antitumor assays were then studied with the guidance of ex vivo imaging. The results showed that the ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 based combination therapy could efficiently kill hepatic carcinoma cells and suppress tumor growth. This research provides a potential nanodrug for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
Due to their important role in biological systems, it is urgent to develop a material that can rapidly and sensitively detect the concentration of Fe3+ and Al3+ ions. In this work, a brand-new CdII-based metal-organic framework [Cd(BTBD)2(AIC)]n (JXUST-18, BTBD = 4,7-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and H2AIC = 5-aminoisophthalic acid) with a 4-connected sql topology was designed and synthesized. The symmetrical CdII centers are linked by AIC2- ligands with μ3-η1:η1:η1:η1 coordination mode to form a [Cd2(COO)2] secondary building unit (SBU). The contiguous SBUs are further connected by BTBD ligands to form a two-dimensional (2D) layer structure. JXUST-18 can remain stable in aqueous solutions with pH values of 3-12 or in boiling water. Luminescent experiments suggest that JXUST-18 displays more than eightfold fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Fe3+ and Al3+ ions, and the detection limits for Fe3+ and Al3+ ions are 0.196 and 0.184 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the change in luminescence color is uncomplicatedly distinguishable with the naked eye under ultraviolet light at 365 nm. In addition, a series of devices based on JXUST-18 including fluorescence test strips, lamp beads, and composite films were developed to detect metal ions via visual changes in luminescence color. Significantly, JXUST-18 is a rare MOF-based turn-on fluorescence sensor for the detection of Fe3+ ions. The theoretical calculation suggests that the complexation of Fe3+/Al3+ ions and the -NH2 group contributes to fluorescence enhancement.

Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising platform for drug delivery, and information regarding the stability of ZIF-8 nanoparticles in cell culture media is essential for proper interpretation of in vitro experimental results. In this work, we report a quantitative investigation of the ZIF-8 nanoparticle's stability in most common cell culture media. To this purpose, ZIF-8 nanoparticles containing sterically shielded nitroxide probes with high resistance to reduction were synthesized and studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The degradation of ZIF-8 in cell media was monitored by tracking the cargo leakage. It was shown that nanoparticles degrade at least partially in all studied media, although the degree of cargo leakage varies widely. We found a strong correlation between the amount of escaped cargo and total concentration of amino acids in the environment. We also established the role of individual amino acids in ZIF-8 degradation. Finally, 2-methylimidazole preliminary dissolved in cell culture media partially inhibits the degradation of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The guidelines for choosing the proper cell culture medium for the in vitro study of ZIF-8 nanoparticles have been formulated.

Abstract
Melanoma is one of the highly malignant tumors whose incidence and fatality rates have been increased year by year. However, in addition to early surgical resection, there still lacks specific targeted drugs and treatment strategies. In this study, it was discovered that hinokiflavone (HF) encapsulated in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) exhibited a superior anti-melanoma effect in vitro and in vivo. HF was encapsulated in ZIF-8 through a one-step synthesis method, and polyethylene glycol (PEG-2000) was used to optimize the size and dispersion of the drug-loaded complex (PEG/ZIF-8@HF). The results show that the prepared PEG/ZIF-8@HF has a high encapsulation efficiency (92.12%) and can achieve selective drug release in an acidic microenvironment. The results of in vitro anti-melanoma experiments indicate that PEG/ZIF-8@HF shows up-regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and can restrain the migration and invasion of B16F10 cells. Moreover, in vivo animal experiments further confirm that PEG/ZIF-8@HF shows anti-tumor effect by up-regulating the pro-apoptotic proteins caspase-3 and caspase-8, and down-regulating the migration-promoting invasion protein MMP-9. This study developed a safe and effective oral administration of HF based on the high-efficiency delivery ZIF-8 system, which provides an effective treatment strategy for melanoma.

Abstract
Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been gaining a reputation for their drug delivery applications. In the current work, MOF-801 was successfully prepared by a facile, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly approach through the reaction of ZrCl4 and fumaric acid as organic linkers to deliver 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The prepared nanostructure was fully characterized by a series of analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, high-performance liquid chromatography, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. MOF-801 could be used for the delivery of the anticancer drug 5-FU due to its high surface area, suitable pore size, and biocompatible ingredients. Based on in vitro loading and release studies, a high 5-FU loading capacity and pH-dependent drug release behavior were observed. Moreover, the interactions between the structure of MOFs and 5-FU were investigated through Monte Carlo simulation calculations. An in vitro cytotoxicity test was done, and the results indicated that 5-FU@MOF-801 was more potent than 5-FU on SW480 cancerous cells, indicating the highlighted role of this drug delivery system. Finally, the kinetics of drug release was investigated.

Abstract
A novel 3D lanthanide(iii) metal-organic framework (MOF) (namely Tb-MOF), was synthesized by self-assembly from Tb(iii) ion nitrate and the rigid organic ligand H2sbdc (H2sbdc = 5,5-dioxo-5H-dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-3,7-dicarboxylic acid), and could work as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyanosilylation of aromatic aldehydes at room temperature. The obtained Tb-MOF has been characterized and analysed in detail by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and so on. The pores of Tb-MOF provided a microenvironment that was beneficial for the substrates to be close to the Lewis acid catalytic sites. The IR spectrogram and the fluorescence titration proved that the substrates could be activated inside the channel of Tb-MOF. The heterogeneous Tb-MOF catalyst with fine catalytic efficiency exhibited a high TON (TON = 460), and could be recycled at least three times without significantly reducing its activity.

Abstract
The main treatment measure currently used for glioma treatment is chemotherapy; the biological barrier of solid tumors hinders the deep penetration of nanomedicines and limits anticancer therapy. Furthermore, the poor solubility of many chemotherapeutic drugs limits the efficacy of antitumor drugs. Therefore, improving the solubility of chemotherapeutic agents and drug delivery to tumor tissues through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB) are major challenges in glioma treatment. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have high drug loading capacity, high stability, and high in vivo safety; moreover, they can effectively improve the solubility of insoluble drugs. Therefore, in this study, we used solvent volatilization and ultrasonic melting methods to prepare dihydroartemisinin nanostructured lipid carrier (DHA-NLC). We further used the glioma C6 cancer cell (CC) membrane to encapsulate DHA-NLC owing to the homologous targeting mechanism of the CC membrane; however, the targeting ability of the CC membrane was weak. We accordingly used targeting ligands for modification, and developed a bionanostructured lipid carrier with BBB and BBTB penetration and tumor targeting abilities. The results showed that DHA-loaded NGR/CCNLC (asparagine-glycine-arginine, NGR) was highly targeted, could penetrate the BBB and BBTB, and showed good anti-tumor effects both in vitro and in vivo, which could effectively prolong the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. Thus, the use of DHA-loaded NGR/CCNLC is an effective strategy for glioma treatment and has the potential to treat glioma.

Abstract
Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract constitute one of the most common cancer types worldwide and a ∼58% increase in the global number of cases has been estimated by IARC for the next twenty years. Recent advances in drug delivery technologies have attracted scientific interest for developing and utilizing efficient therapeutic systems. The present review focuses on the use of nanoscale MOFs (Nano-MOFs) as carriers for drug delivery and imaging purposes. In pursuit of significant improvements to current gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy regimens, systems that allow multiple concomitant therapeutic options (polytherapy) and controlled release are highly desirable. In this sense, MOF-based nanotherapeutics represent a significant step towards achieving this goal. Here, the current state-of-the-art of interdisciplinary research and novel developments into MOF-based gastrointestinal cancer therapy are highlighted and reviewed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks are a class of new and promising anti-cancer materials. MOFs with adjustable pore size, large specific surface area, diverse structure, and excellent chemical and physical properties make them a class of effective protection carriers for anti-cancer substances. This review is centered on the core point of "anti-cancer" and discusses MOFs' research progress in anti-cancer therapies. Firstly, we provided readers with the different types of MOFs, their preparation strategies and the resulting structures. Then, different MOF composites and their biological applications were systematically presented. The specificity of biomolecules endows MOFs with broader anti-cancer applications, while MOFs can protect the drugs and biomolecules to make the best of a challenging situation. Finally, we elucidated a comprehensive overview of the biological applications of MOFs, including research hotspots as drug delivery and biomolecule carriers. Besides, we looked forward to the future developments of MOFs in the field of anti-cancer therapies. As a class of novel materials, the anti-cancer applications of MOFs are extended through the combination of different materials and different methods to improve their efficacy.

Abstract
Herein, the NH2-UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) has been green synthesized with the assistance of high gravity to provide a suitable and safe platform for drug loading. The NH2-UiO-66 MOF was characterized using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and zeta potential analysis. Doxorubicin was then encapsulated physically on the porosity of the green MOF. Two different stimulus polymers, p(HEMA) and p(NIPAM), were used as the coating agents of the MOFs. Doxorubicin was loaded onto the polymer-coated MOFs as well, and a drug payload of more than 51% was obtained, which is a record by itself. In the next step, pCRISPR was successfully tagged on the surface of the modified MOFs, and the performance of the final nanosystems were evaluated by the GFP expression. In addition, successful loadings and internalizations of doxorubicin were investigated via confocal laser scanning microscopy. Cellular images from the HeLa cell line for the UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR and GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR do not show any promising and successful gene transfections, with a maximum EGFP of 1.6%; however, the results for the p(HEMA)-GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR show up to 4.3% transfection efficiency. Also, the results for the p(NIPAM)-GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR showed up to 6.4% transfection efficiency, which is the first and superior report of a MOF-based nanocarrier for the delivery of pCRISPR. Furthermore, the MTT assay does not shown any critical cytotoxicity, which is a promising result for further biomedical applications. At the end of the study, the morphologies of all of the nanomaterials were screened after drug and gene delivery procedures and showed partial degradation of the nanomaterial. However, the cubic structure of the MOFs has been shown in TEM, and this is further proof of the stability of these green MOFs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials, as carriers of small molecular drugs, have been a focal point in recent years. In this work, a carbazolyl functionalized metal-organic framework, UiO-67-CDC, was successfully synthesized employing the ligand 9H-carbazole-2,7-dicarboxylic acid (9H-2,7-CDC). Postsynthetic approaches targeted the cationization and replacement of the Lewis base carbazole site with two methyl groups, resulting in the positively charged skeleton, which has proven to be a promising carrier for the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu). The prepared cationic framework UiO-67-CDC-(CH3)2 showed moderately high surface area, hierarchical pore structures, and positive surface characteristics, which effectively and selectivity encapsulated the electron-rich 5-Fu molecules through electrostatic attraction, with a relatively high loading of up to 56.5% (wt%). The drug delivery in simulated blood environment (pH = 7.4) exhibited a more effective release, demonstrating a physiological pH-responsive sustained release. Significantly, the electron-deficient Zr-MOF itself, as a kind of high-sensitivity fluorescence detector, has a unique fluorescence "turn-on" effect with 5-Fu. These results pave the way towards designing surface-engineered MOF materials of interest in drug delivery and fluorescent sensing applications.
