          Abstract

          Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in designing theranostic probes for cancer diagnosis and therapy due to their unique properties, including versatile structures and composition, tunable particle and pore size, enormous porosity, high surface area, and intrinsic biodegradability. In this study, we demonstrate novel MOF-based theranostic Fe3O4@UiO-66 core-shell composites constructed by in situ growth of a UiO-66 MOF shell on a Fe3O4 core for simultaneous drug delivery and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In the composites, the UiO-66 shell is devoted for encapsulating the drug, whereas the Fe3O4 core serves as a MR contrast agent. The Fe3O4@UiO-66 core-shell composites show good biocompatibility, high drug loading capacity, sustained drug release, and outstanding MR imaging capability, as well as effective chemotherapeutic efficacy, demonstrating the feasibility of designing theranostic Fe3O4@UiO-66 core-shell composites for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

              Postsynthetic modifications of iron-carboxylate nanoscale metal-organic frameworks for imaging and drug delivery.

              Fe(III)-carboxylate nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) with the MIL-101 structure were synthesized using a solvothermal technique with microwave heating. The approximately 200 nm particles were characterized using a variety of methods, including SEM, PXRD, nitrogen adsorption measurements, TGA, and EDX. By replacing a percentage of the bridging ligand (terephthalic acid) with 2-amino terephthalic acid, amine groups were incorporated into the framework to provide sites for covalent attachment of biologically relevant cargoes while still maintaining the MIL-101 structure. In proof-of-concept experiments, an optical contrast agent (a BODIPY dye) and an ethoxysuccinato-cisplatin anticancer prodrug were successfully incorporated into the Fe(III)-carboxylate NMOFs via postsynthetic modifications of the as-synthesized particles. These cargoes are released upon the degradation of the NMOF frameworks, and the rate of cargo release was controlled by coating the NMOF particles with a silica shell. Potential utility of the new NMOF-based nanodelivery vehicles for optical imaging and anticancer therapy was demonstrated in vitro using HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells.
