Abstract
Carboxylate-based metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) has emerged as highly promising materials in medicinal applications, particularly in drug delivery and control release at the target, owing to their tunable pore structures and extensive surface areas. This review mainly focuses on the carboxylate MOFs as nano-carriers in drug delivery, highlighting their well-defined structures, ultra-high porosity, and versatile chemical functionalization. We summarize various strategies for functionalizing CMOFs with therapeutic agents, such as surface adsorption of drugs, pore encapsulation of drugs, and covalent binding of drugs with CMOFs. Additionally, the review highlights the methods of drug loading in CMOFs and explores their specific applications in drug delivery and sustained release. CMOFs are particularly notable for their ability to achieve stimuli-responsive release and co-delivery of drugs in combination of genes, which is especially useful in cancer treatment. Finally, the challenges in enhancing the efficiency of CMOFs in medicinal applications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
