Controllable porosity conversion of metal-organic frameworks composed of natural ingredients for drug delivery

Abstract

Two extremely rare β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) supported metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), CD-MOF-1 and CD-MOF-2, were induced to crystallize for the first time through a template-induced approach. The targeted CD-MOFs were employed to perform controlled drug delivery and cytotoxicity assays that confirmed their favourable biological potential of being used as drug carriers.
