The high storage capacities and excellent biocompatibilities of zinc(ii) metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) have made them outstanding candidates as drug delivery carriers. Recent studies on the pH-responsive processes based on carrier-drug interactions have proven them to be the most efficient and effective way to control the release profiles of drugs. To satisfy the ever-growing demand in cancer therapy, great efforts are being devoted to the development of methods to precisely control drug release and achieve targeted use of an active substance at the right time and place. In this review article, we discuss the diverse stimuli based on Zn-MOFs carriers that have been achieved upon external activation from single pH-stimulus-responsive or/and multiple pH-stimuli-responsive viewpoints. Also, the perspectives and future challenges in this type of carrier system are discussed.
锌(II)金属有机框架材料(Zn-MOFs)具有高存储容量和出色的生物相容性,使其成为药物递送载体的杰出候选者。最近基于载体-药物相互作用的pH响应过程的研究证明,它们是控制药物释放曲线的最有效方法。为了满足癌症治疗中不断增长的需求,人们正在大力开发精确控制药物释放并在正确的时间和地点实现活性物质靶向使用的方法。在这篇综述文章中,我们从单一pH刺激响应或/和多重pH刺激响应的外部激活角度,讨论了基于Zn-MOFs载体实现的多种刺激。此外,还讨论了这种载体系统的前景和未来挑战。
