Designing lanthanide coordination nanoframeworks as X-ray responsive radiosensitizers for efficient cancer therapy†
Abstract
A series of three-dimensional Ln-based coordination frameworks were designed and synthesized. After nanolization, they show great potential as efficient and low toxic X-ray responsive radiosensitizers for the treatment of cervical cancer. The experimental data showed that these Ln-based nanoframeworks induced G0/G1 arrest mainly through the increase of the intracellular ROS level.
