Metal-Organic Frameworks for Drug Delivery

Abstract

Nowadays, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are used in the application of sustained release of drugs. Because of high efficiency, good stability and varied properties, MOFs have shown great potential and a promising future in terms of delivery. In this article, many factors which can have a significant impact on the release during the slow release of a drug were introduced, such as temperature, pH, permeability and toxicity. This article also analyses the performance of different types of MOF in the study of different drugs, including coordination complexes, coordination polymers, and microscale coordination polymers. With an in-depth understanding of the different conditions, the process of designing and producing sophisticated MOF materials can be promised.
