Abstract
Local antibiotic application might mitigate the burgeoning problem of rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microbes. To accomplish this, delivery systems must be engineered. Hydrogels have a wide range of physicochemical properties and can mimic the extracellular matrix, rendering them promising materials for local antibacterial agent application. Here, we synthesized antibacterial silicon (Si)-based nickel (Ni) nanoflowers (Si@Ni) and encapsulated them in gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) using microfluidic and photo-crosslink technology, constructing uniform micro-sized hydrogel spheres (Si@Ni-GelMA). Si@Ni and Si@Ni-GelMA were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Injectable Si@Ni-GelMA exhibited excellent antibacterial activities owing to the antibiotic effect of Ni against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, while showing negligible cytotoxicity. Therefore, the Si@Ni-GelMA system can be used as drug carriers owing to their injectability, visible light-mediated crosslinking, degradation, biosafety, and superior antibacterial properties.

Abstract
This review article highlights the innovative role of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in addressing global healthcare challenges related to microbial infections. MOFs, comprised of metal nodes and organic ligands, offer unique properties that can be applied in the treatment and diagnosis of these infections. Traditional methods, such as antibiotics and conventional diagnostics, face issues such as antibiotic resistance and diagnostic limitations. MOFs, with their highly porous and customizable structure, can encapsulate and deliver therapeutic or diagnostic molecules precisely. Their large surface area and customizable pore structures allow for sensitive detection and selective recognition of microbial pathogens. They also show potential in delivering therapeutic agents to infection sites, enabling controlled release and possible synergistic effects. However, challenges like optimizing synthesis techniques, enhancing stability, and developing targeted delivery systems remain. Regulatory and safety considerations for clinical translation also need to be addressed. This review not only explores the potential of MOFs in treating and diagnosing microbial infections but also emphasizes their unique approach and discusses existing challenges and future directions.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Bimetal-Organic Framework-Loaded PVA/Chitosan Composite Hydrogel with Interfacial Antibacterial and Adhesive Hemostatic Features for Wound Dressings. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4362. [PMID: 38006086 PMCID: PMC10674882 DOI: 10.3390/polym15224362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Silver-containing wound dressings have shown attractive advantages in the treatment of wound infection due to their excellent antibacterial activity. However, the introduction of silver ions or AgNPs directly into the wound can cause deposition in the body as particles. Here, with the aim of designing low-silver wound dressings, a bimetallic-MOF antibacterial material called AgCu@MOF was developed using 3, 5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid as the ligand and Ag+ and Cu2+ as metal ion sites. PCbM (PVA/chitosan/AgCu@MOF) hydrogel was successfully constructed in PVA/chitosan wound dressing loaded with AgCu@MOF. The active sites on the surface of AgCu@MOF increased the lipophilicity to bacteria and caused the bacterial membrane to undergo lipid peroxidation, which resulted in the strong bactericidal properties of AgCu@MOF, and the antimicrobial activity of the dressing PCbM was as high as 99.9%. The chelation of silver ions in AgCu@MOF with chitosan occupied the surface functional groups of chitosan and reduced the crosslinking density of chitosan. PCbM changes the hydrogel crosslinking network, thus improving the water retention and water permeability of PCbM hydrogel so that the hydrogel has the function of binding wet tissue. As a wound adhesive, PCbM hydrogel reduces the amount of wound bleeding and has good biocompatibility. PCbM hydrogel-treated mice achieved 96% wound recovery on day 14. The strong antibacterial, tissue adhesion, and hemostatic ability of PCbM make it a potential wound dressing.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing bioactive metals have the potential to exhibit antimicrobial activity by releasing metal ions or ligands through the cleavage of metal-ligand bonds. Recently, copper-based MOFs (Cu-MOFs) with sustained release capability, porosity, and structural flexibility have shown promising antimicrobial properties. However, for clinical use, the controlled release of Cu2+ over an extended time period is crucial to prevent toxicity. In this study, we developed an alginate-based antimicrobial scaffold and encapsulated MOFs within a dual-crosslinked alginate polymer network. We synthesized Cu-MOFs containing glutarate (Glu) and 4,4'-azopyridine (AZPY) (Cu(AZPY)-MOF) and encapsulated them in an alginate-based hydrogel through a combination of visible light-induced photo and calcium ion-induced chemical crosslinking processes. We confirmed Cu(AZPY)-MOF synthesis using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. This antimicrobial hydrogel demonstrated excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties against two bacterial strains (MRSA and S. mutans, with >99.9 % antibacterial rate) and one fungal strain (C. albicans, with >78.7 % antifungal rate) as well as negligible cytotoxicity towards mouse embryonic fibroblasts, making it a promising candidate for various tissue engineering applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has evolved vast antibiotic resistance. These strains contain numerous virulence factors facilitating the development of severe infections. Considering the costs, side effects, and time duration needed for the synthesis of novel drugs, seeking efficient alternative approaches for the eradication of drug-resistant bacterial agents seems to be an unmet requirement. Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) have been applied as prognostic and therapeutic cheap agents to various aspects of biomedical sciences. Their antibacterial effects are exerted via the disruption of the cell membrane, the deformation of proteins, and the inhibition of DNA replication. NiNPs proper traits include high-level chemical stability and binding affinity, ferromagnetic properties, ecofriendliness, and cost-effectiveness. They have outlined pleomorphic and cubic structures. The combined application of NiNPs with CuO, ZnO, and CdO has enhanced their anti-MRSA effects. The NiNPs at an approximate size of around 50 nm have exerted efficient anti-MRSA effects, particularly at higher concentrations. NiNPs have conferred higher antibacterial effects against MRSA than other nosocomial bacterial pathogens. The application of green synthesis and low-cost materials such as albumin and chitosan enhance the efficacy of NPs for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are potential exogenous scaffolds for therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) delivery because they can store drug or bioactive gas molecules within pores or on active metal sites. Herein, we employed a Cu-MOF coordinated with glutarate (glu) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) to obtain NO-loaded Cu-MOF (NO⊂Cu-MOF). NO loading transformed the space group of Cu-MOF from monoclinic C2/c to triclinic P-1 through nonclassical hydrogen bonding with glu and bpa. Cu-MOF showed good stability in deionized water and phosphate-buffered saline. NO⊂Cu-MOF released up to 1.10 μmol mg-1 NO over 14.6 h at 37 °C, which is suitable for therapeutic applications. NO⊂Cu-MOF showed moderate biocompatibility with L-929 cells and significant anticancer activity against HeLa cells, suggesting an apoptosis-mediated cell death mechanism. These insights into NO bonding modes with Cu-MOF that enable controlled NO release can inspire the design of functional MOFs as hybrid NO donors for drug delivery.

Abstract
Lung diseases remain a global burden today. Lower respiratory tract infections alone cause more than 3 million deaths worldwide each year and are on the rise every year. In particular, with coronavirus disease raging worldwide since 2019, we urgently require a treatment for lung disease. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have a broad application prospect in the biomedical field due to their remarkable properties. The unique properties of MOFs allow them to be applied as delivery materials for different drugs; diversified structural design endows MOFs with diverse functions; and they can be designed as various MOF-drug synergistic systems. This review concentrates on the synthesis design and applications of MOF based drugs against lung diseases, and discusses the possibility of preparing MOF-based inhalable formulations. Finally, we discuss the chances and challenges of using MOFs for targeting lung diseases in clinical practice.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a severe threat to human health and antibiotics have been developed to treat them. However, extensive use of antibiotics has led to multidrug-resistant bacteria and reduction of their therapeutic effects. An efficient solution may be localized application of antibiotics using a drug delivery system. For clinical application, they need to be biodegradable and should offer a prolonged antibacterial effect. In this study, a new injectable and visible-light-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel loaded with silicon (Si)-based nickel oxide (NiO) nanoflowers (Si@NiO) as an antibacterial scaffold was developed. Si@NiO nanoflowers were synthesized using chemical bath deposition before encapsulating them in the HA hydrogel under a mild visible-light-crosslinking conditions to generate a Si@NiO-hydrogel. Si@NiO synthesis was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. As-prepared Si@NiO-hydrogel exhibited enhanced mechanical properties compared to a control bare hydrogel sample. Moreover, Si@NiO-hydrogel exhibits excellent antibacterial properties against three bacterial strains (P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (>99.9% bactericidal rate)) and negligible cytotoxicity toward mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Therefore, Si@NiO-hydrogel has the potential for use in tissue engineering and biomedical applications owing to its injectability, visible-light crosslink ability, degradability, biosafety, and superior antibacterial property.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone caused by bacterial infection. It usually develops from broken bones, decayed teeth, or heavily punctured wounds. Multi-drug-resistant bacteria are the major hurdle in the treatment of osteomyelitis. The ever-rising antibiotic resistance even leads to amputations or fatalities as a consequence of chronic osteomyelitis. Hence, a single agent with antibacterial activity as well as bone regenerative properties can serve as a potential off-the-shelf product in the treatment of osteomyelitis. Herein, the antibacterial and pro-osteogenic characteristics of copper sericin (Cu-SER) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are reported. Sericin, a silk protein with antibacterial activity and an osteoinduction property, acts as an organic template for the deposition of Cu-SER MOFs, similar to collagen during biomineralization in bone. The MOFs exhibit cytocompatibility and osteogenic activity in a dose-dependent manner, as revealed by cell proliferation (alamarBlue) and mineralization (Alizarin Red S and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis). The bactericidal activity of Cu-SER MOFs was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and a growth kinetic analysis. Together, the report illuminates the unique phenomenon of Cu-SER MOFs that kill bacteria upon contact while being well-tolerated by primary human cells. Hence, Cu-SER MOFs hold the potential to minimize antibiotic dependence.

A Nanostructured Cu(II) Coordination Polymer Based on Alanine as a Trifunctional Mimic Enzyme and Efficient Composite in the Detection of Sphingobacteria. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:8788221. [PMID: 35449715 PMCID: PMC9017554 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8788221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
This research raises the potential use of coordination polymers as new useful materials in two essential research fields, allowing the obtaining of a new multiartificial enzyme with the capacity to inhibit the growth of bacteria resistance. The fine selection of the ligands allows the design of a new 2D coordination polymer (CP), with the formula [Cu2(IBA)2(OH2)4]n·6nH2O, by the combination of Cu (II) as the metal center with a pseudoamino acid (H2IBA = isophthaloyl bis β-alanine). Quantitative total X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analyses show that the obtained CP can gradually release Cu (II) ions. Additionally, this CP can be nanoprocessed and transformed into a metal-organic gel (MOG) by using different Cu (II) salt concentrations and the application of ultrasounds. Considering its nanometric dimensions, the slow Cu (II) release and its simple processability, its performance as an artificial enzyme, and its antibacterial ability were explored. The results obtained show the first nanocoordination polymer acting as an artificial multienzyme (peroxidase, catalase, and superoxodismutase) exhibiting antibacterial activity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, with selective behavior for three bacterium strains (S. spiritovirum, A. faecales, and B. cereus). Indeed, this CP shows a more robust inhibition capacity for Sphingobacterium. Going beyond that, as there are no comfortable and practically clinical tests capable of detecting the presence of Sphingobacteria, the compound can be easily embedded to form moldable gelatin that will facilitate the handling and low-cost commercial kits.

Abstract
Compared to most of nano-sized particles, core–shell-structured nanoflowers have received great attention as bioactive materials because of their high surface area with the flower-like structures. In this study, core–shell-structured Si-based NiO nanoflowers, Si@NiO, were prepared by a modified chemical bath deposition method followed by thermal reduction. The crystal morphology and basic structure of the composites were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area (BET) and porosity analysis (BJT), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The electrochemical properties of the Si@NiO nanoflowers were examined through the redox reaction of ascorbic acid with the metal ions present on the surface of the core–shell nanoflowers. This reaction favored the formation of reactive oxygen species. The Si@NiO nanoflowers showed excellent anticancer activity and low cytotoxicity toward the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), respectively, demonstrating that the anticancer activities of the Si@NiO nanoflowers were primarily derived from the oxidative capacity of the metal ions on the surface, rather than from the released metal ions. Thus, this proves that Si-based NiO nanoflowers can act as a promising candidate for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The rapid spread of staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) causes an increased morbidity and mortality, as well as great economic losses in the world. Anti-S. aureus infection becomes a major challenge for clinicians and nursing professionals to address drug resistance. Hence, it is urgent to explore high efficiency, low toxicity, and environmental-friendly methods against S. aureus. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent great potential in treating S. aureus infection due to the unique features of MOFs including tunable chemical constitute, open crystalline structure, and high specific surface area. Especially, these properties endow MOF-based materials outstanding antibacterial effect, which can be mainly attributed to the continuously released active components and the exerted catalytic activity to fight bacterial infection. Herein, the structural characteristics of MOFs and evaluation method of antimicrobial activity are briefly summarized. Then we systematically give an overview on their recent progress on antibacterial mechanisms, metal ion sustained-release system, controlled delivery system, catalytic system, and energy conversion system based on MOF materials. Finally, suggestions and direction for future research to develop and mechanism understand MOF-based materials are discussed in antibacterial application.

Abstract
Due to the widespread use of antibiotics in medical treatment, animal husbandry and aquaculture, a large number of antibiotics are discharged into the environment as metabolites or in their original state, causing pollution to water bodies, which is a serious issue. In this study, a novel nanocomposite adsorbent MIL-53/D201 was successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. This approach overcomes the disadvantage of easy dissociation of MOF material in the water phase and realizes the efficient removal of antibiotic azlocillin sodium in water. The crystal morphology and basic structure of the composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy scattering spectroscopy (EDS), and specific surface area and porosity analyzer (BET). The results showed that MIL-53 was successfully synthesized in situ in D201. The results of adsorption experiments show that the maximum saturated adsorption capacity of the composite is 122.3 mg/g when the dosage of the composite is 1.0 g/L. Compared with pure MIL-53 material, the composite material exhibits greater stability and efficient adsorption performance for target pollutants at different pH values. The adsorption process accords with the quasi-second-order kinetic adsorption model and Langmuir adsorption isothermal model. After five cycles of adsorption and desorption, the removal rate of MIL-53/D201 to azlocillin sodium was still above 87%.

Abstract
The rise in bacterial resistance to currently used antibiotics is the main focus of medical researchers. Bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major threat to humans, as it is linked to greater rates of chronic disease and mortality. Hence, there is an urgent need for developing effective strategies to overcome the bacterial MDR. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystalline materials made up of metal ions and organic ligands that can vary their pore size and structure to better encapsulate drug candidates. This study reports the synthesis of ribose-coated Cu-MOFs for enhanced bactericidal activity of chloramphenicol (CHL) against Escherichia coli (resistant and sensitive) and MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The synthesized Cu-MOFs were characterized with DLS, FT-IR, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and atomic force microscope. They were further investigated for their efficacy against selected bacterial strains. The synthesized ribose-coated Cu-MOFs were observed as spherical shape structure with the particle size of 562.84 ± 13.42 nm. CHL caused the increased inhibition of E. coli and MDR P. aeruginosa with significantly reduced MIC and MBIC values after being encapsulated in ribose-coated Cu-MOFs. The morphological analysis of the bacterial strains treated with ribose-coated CHL-Cu-MOFs showed the complete morphological distortion of both E. coli and MDR P. aeruginosa. Based on the results of the study, it can be suggested that ribose-coated Cu-MOFs may be an effective alternate candidate to overcome the MDR and provide new perspective for the treatment of MDR bacterial infections.
