Abstract:
Background: To date, number of new and attractive materials have been applied
in drug delivery systems (DDDs) to improve the efficiency of the treatment of cancers.
Some problems like low stability, toxicity and weak ability of targeting have hampered
most of materials for further applications in biomedicine. MIL(MIL = Materials of
Institute Lavoisier), as a specific subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) owns
more advantages than other subclass MOFs, such as better biodegradability and lower cytotoxicity.
However, until now, systematic -s and analyses of Fe-based MIL on medical
applications are rarely though the majority of documents discussed one research branch
of the porous materials MOFs.
Discussion: In this review, we have focussed mainly on the latest studies of applications,
including bioimaging, biosensing, and antibacterial and drug delivery on Fe-based MIL.
The existing shortcomings and future perspectives of the rapidly growing biomedical applications
of Fe-based MIL materials addressing dosage and loading strategies issues are
also discussed briefly, and further studies with the use of different therapies will be of
great interest.
Conclusion: This article reviews the Fe-based MOFs design and biomedical application,
including biosensing, bioimaging, antibacterial agent, and drug delivery in recent years.
