CD-MOFs: From preparation to drug delivery and therapeutic application

Carbohydr Polym. 2024 Jan 1:323:121424. doi: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121424. Epub 2023 Sep 20.

Abstract

Cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) show considerable advantages of edibility, degradability, low toxicity, and high drug loading, which have attracted enormous interest, especially in drug delivery. This review summarizes the typical synthesis approaches of CD-MOFs, the drug loading methods, and the mechanism of encapsulation and release. The influence of the structure of CD-MOFs on their drug encapsulation and release is highlighted. Finally, the challenges CD-MOFs face are discussed regarding biosafety assessment systems, stability in aqueous solution, and metal ion effect.

Keywords: Cyclodextrin metal organic frameworks; Drug encapsulation; Drug release; Synthesis approaches; Therapeutic application.
