JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2024; 35:32. [PMID: 38896160 PMCID: PMC11186913 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-024-06802-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
This study leverages nanotechnology by encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG) and paclitaxel (Tax) using zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) as a scaffold. This study aims to investigate the chemo-photothermal therapeutic potential of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax nanoparticles (NPs) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An "all-in-one" theranostic ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs was conducted by self-assembly based on electrostatic interaction. First, the photothermal effect, stability, pH responsiveness, drug release, and blood compatibility of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax were evaluated through in vitro testing. Furthermore, the hepatic and renal toxicity of ZIF-8@ICG@Tax were assessed through in vivo testing. Additionally, the anticancer effects of these nanoparticles were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Uniform and stable chemo-photothermal ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs had been successfully synthesized and had outstanding drug releasing capacities. Moreover, ZIF-8@ICG@Tax NPs showed remarkable responsiveness dependent both on pH in the tumor microenvironment and NIR irradiation, allowing for targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release. NIR irradiation can enhance the tumor cell response to ZIF-8@ICG@Tax uptake, thereby promoting the anti-tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. ZIF-8@ICG@Tax and NIR irradiation have demonstrated remarkable synergistic anti-tumor growth properties compared to their individual components. This novel theranostic chemo-photothermal NPs hold great potential as a viable treatment option for NSCLC.

Abstract
Metallic atoms within metal-organic framework (MOF) materials exhibit a distinctive and adaptable coordination structure. The three-dimensional (3D) pore configuration of MOFs enables the complete exposure of metal active sites, rendering them prevalent in various catalytic reactions. In this study, zinc (Zn) atoms within Zn-based MOF materials, characterized by an abundance of valence electrons, are utilized for the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Additionally, the introduction of zirconium (Zr) effectively addresses the susceptibility of the MOFs' crystal structure to dissolution in organic solvents. The formulated catalyst, Zn-10%Zr-MOF(300), demonstrates remarkable catalytic performance with 91.5% DMC selectivity, 61.9% propylene carbonate (PC) conversion, and 56.6% DMC yield. Impressively, the catalyst maintains its high performance over five cycles. Results indicate that Zr interacts with Zn, forming new coordination bonds and enhancing the catalyst crystal structure stability. Moreover, electron transfer intensifies the alkalinity of the active Zn atoms, enhancing the overall catalyst performance. This research informs the development of transesterification heterogeneous catalysts and broadens the application scope of MOF catalysts.

Abstract
The properties of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals are highly dependent on their sizes, morphologies, and exposed facets. Facet engineering of MOFs offers an efficient strategy to tailor the active sites and optimize the catalytic activity of both MOFs and their derivatives. In this study, we prepared 1D zeolitic imidazolate framework-nanorod (ZIF-NR) through facet engineering of the parental 2D ZIF-L. The introduction of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) surfactant into the synthesis solution hindered the crystal growth along the c-axis of leaf-like ZIF-L, resulting in the formation of 1D ZIF-NR. The derived Co nanoparticle encapsulated N doped carbon nanorod (denoted as Co-NCR) exhibited high activity and stability for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reactions and Zn-air batteries. Facet engineering of a 2D MOF with a uniquely oriented layered structure demonstrates the possibility of designing novel electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Investigating the process of crystalline transformation in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has significant implications in advancing our understanding of the growth mechanisms and design of innovative materials. This study achieves a theoretically impossible transformation direction from three-dimensional (3D) zeolitic imidazolate nanocubes (ZIF) to two-dimensional (2D) ZIF nanoframes through the Marangoni effect in droplets. This transformation challenges the established belief that only a transition from 2D ZIF-L to 3D ZIF-67 is possible, which neglects the reverse process. Finite element analysis indicates that the conversion from 3D ZIF to 2D ZIF is feasible when uniform mass distribution and heat transport are guaranteed under Marangoni flow. This research not only demonstrates an alternative pathway for MOF crystalline transformation but also provides a fresh perspective on the construction of MOF nanoframes.
