Abstract

Nanotechnology enables the creation of delivery vehicles able to overcome physiologically imposed barriers, allowing new approaches for reducing the unwanted side effects of systemic delivery of drug, increasing targeting efficiency and so improving therapy efficacy. Owing to the considerable advances in material sciences and pharmaceutics, a broad range of different inorganic or organic drug nanocarriers have been developed. Furthermore, researchers have shown that the combination of inorganic and organic chemistries in one single material, named metal-organic framework (MOF), offers structural designability at the molecular level together with tunable porosity and chemical functionalisability. While the MOF size can be controlled at the nanometer scale, these features are of paramount interest in the development of the next generation of drug delivery systems. After a short state-of-the-art about MOF technology and within the drug delivery context, this paper discusses the benefits of using MOF nanoparticles compared to dendrimers and mesoporous silica nanoparticles in order to understand the challenges that must still be overcome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
