Metal–Organic Framework Thin Films as Drug Delivery Systems
摘要
Selective metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied as promising candidates for biomedical applications, especially as drug delivery systems due to their exceptional structural properties. This work reports the detailed methods to prepare an iron-containing MOF, MIL-88B(Fe), on functionalized gold and medical-grade stainless steel surfaces for drug delivery. We present a general procedure for preparing a novel drug carrier that can potentially be used as drug-eluting stent coatings.
