| description | Effective penetration into cells, or binding to cell membranes is an essential property of an effective nanoparticle drug delivery system (DDS). Nanoparticles are generally internalized through active transport mechanisms such as apoptosis, and cargo can be released directly into the cytoplasm. A metal–organic framework (MOF) is a network structure consisting of metal clusters connected by organic linkers with high porosity; MOFs provide a desirable combination of structural features that can be adjusted with large cargo payloads, along with Cu, Co, and Zn-MOFs, which have the chemical stability required for water-soluble use. Bioactive MOFs containing copper, cobalt, and zinc were prepared by modifying previous methods as therapeutic drugs. Their structures were characterized via PXRD, single-crystal crystallographic analysis, and FT-IR. The degradability of MOFs was measured in media such as deionized water or DPBS by PXRD, SEM, and ICP-MS. Furthermore, we investigated the anticancer activity of MOFs against the cell lines SKOV3, U87MG, and LN229, as well as their biocompatibility with normal fibroblast cells. The results show that a nanoporous 3D Cu-MOF could potentially be a promising candidate for chemoprevention and chemotherapy. |
