Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as drug-delivery carriers have been mostly evaluated in vitro due to the lack of COFs nanocarriers that are suitable for in vivo studies. Here we develop a series of water-dispersible polymer-COF nanocomposites through the assembly of polyethylene-glycol-modified monofunctional curcumin derivatives (PEG-CCM) and amine-functionalized COFs (APTES-COF-1) for in vitro and in vivo drug delivery. The real-time fluorescence response shows efficient tracking of the COF-based materials upon cellular uptake and anticancer drug (doxorubicin (DOX)) release. Notably, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that PEG-CCM@APTES-COF-1 is a smart carrier for drug delivery with superior stability, intrinsic biodegradability, high DOX loading capacity, strong and stable fluorescence, prolonged circulation time and improved drug accumulation in tumors. More intriguingly, PEG 350-CCM@APTES-COF-1 presents an effective targeting strategy for brain research. We envisage that PEG-CCM@APTES-COF-1 nanocomposites represent a great promise toward the development of a multifunctional platform for cancer-targeted in vivo drug delivery.

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.
