Abstract

Zn8(ad)4(BPDC)6O•2Me2NH2 (bioMOF1), a porous metal-organic framework with zinc-adeninate secondary building units (SBUs), interconnected via biphenyldicarboxylate linkers, shows great potential for drug delivery applications due to its non-toxic and biocompatible components (zinc and adenine). In this study, bioMOF1 crystals synthesized solvothermally at 130°C for 24 hours, were characterized thoroughly and loaded with a known anti-inflammatory drug, nimesulide (NIM). The crystalline nature of the material was confirmed using powder x-ray diffraction crystallography (PXRD) along with morphology assessment using focused-ion beam/field emission scanning electron microscopy (FIB/FESEM). NIM was introduced to the crystals via solvent exchange accompanied with vigorous stirring and quantified using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with loading saturation of ∼30% attained during the 2nd to 3rd day of drug immersion. Drug release in phosphate buffer saline and in deionized water was done to monitor the kinetic of drug release in vitro. The drug release showed a controlled discharge profile which slowed down at the 24th and 48th hour of release. Drug release in buffer showed a faster release of drug from the material, which means that the presence of cations in the solution could further trigger the release of drug. Slow drug release was observed for all of the set-ups with maximum % drug release of 24.47%, and 16.14% for the bioMOF1 in buffer and bioMOF1 in water respectively for the span of 48 hours.
