Abstract
Cancer has been one of the significant threats to human well-being in recent decades. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional structural materials formulated of metal ions or metal clusters combined with polydentate organic moieties. They have controllable morphology, customizable diameter, adjustable porousness, elevated specific surface area, easy functionalization, and good biocompatibility. Many researchers have used MOFs' excellent and unique properties to design nano-platforms conducive to treating tumors. The present review summarizes the recent progress of copper-based MOF nanoplatforms for tumor treatment through different treatment stratgies, including chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy and combined treatment methods and discusses the physiological mechanism and unique biological effects of copper(II)-based MOFs. Finally, we outlooked the current status of Cu-based MOFs in tumor therapy and prospect the changllent and potential development in anti-tumor in future.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
