Water-Stable Nanoscale Zirconium-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Effective Removal of Glyphosate from Aqueous Media.

ABSTRACT: Two water-stable zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (NU-1000 and UiO-67) have been synthesized in various size scales (100-2000 nm) for the adsorptive removal of glyphosate from the aqueous media. Both NU-1000 and UiO-67 possess a three-dimensional structure; NU-1000 consists of triangular micropores and wide mesoporous channels (31 Å), whereas UiO-67 has cage-like pores [octahedral (16 Å) and tetrahedral (14 Å) cages]. NU-1000 comprises Zr6(?3-O)4(?3-OH)4(H2O)4(OH)4, and UiO-67 contains Zr6O4(OH)4 as secondary building units. These units act as Lewis acid nodes and can interact with the Lewis base phosphate group of the glyphosate. The time taken for reaching equilibrium is found to be reduced considerably as the size of the MOF decreases. The smaller the particle size, the lesser is the diffusion barrier for the analyte, which enhances the interaction between Lewis acidic metal nodes and the Lewis basic center of the glyphosate molecule. NU-1000 was found to be better compared to UiO-67, both in terms of efficiency and reusability. This might be due to the larger pore diameters of the NU-1000. Theoretical calculations revealed that the interaction energy of glyphosate with the nodes of NU-1000 is higher (-37.63 KJ mol-1) compared to UiO-67 (-17.37 KJ mol-1), which might be the possible reason for the higher efficiency of NU-1000.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy, particularly checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI), has revolutionized the treatment of some cancers by reactivating the antitumor immunity of hosts with durable response and manageable toxicity. However, many cancer patients with low tumor antigen exposure and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments do not respond to CBI. A variety of methods have been investigated to reverse immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments and turn "cold" tumors "hot" with the goal of extending the therapeutic benefits of CBI to a broader population of cancer patients. Immunostimulatory adjuvant treatments, such as cancer vaccines, photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT), radiotherapy-radiodynamic therapy (RT-RDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), promote antigen presentation and T cell priming and, when used in combination with CBI, reactivate and sustain systemic antitumor immunity. Cancer vaccines directly provide tumor antigens, while immunoadjuvant therapies such as PDT, RT, RT-RDT, and CDT kill cancer cells in an immunogenic fashion to release tumor antigens in situ. Direct administration of tumor antigens or indirect intratumoral immunoadjuvant therapies as in situ cancer vaccines initiate the immuno-oncology cycle for antitumor immune response.With the rapid growth of cancer nanotechnology in the past two decades, a large number of nanoparticle platforms have been studied, and some nanomedicines have been translated into clinical trials. Nanomedicine provides a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of immunoadjuvant therapies to potentiate cancer immunotherapy. Among these nanoparticle platforms, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) have emerged as a unique class of porous hybrid nanomaterials with metal cluster secondary building units and organic linkers. With molecular modularity, structural tunability, intrinsic porosity, tunable stability, and biocompatibility, nMOFs are ideally suited for biomedical applications, particularly cancer treatments.In this Account, we present recent breakthroughs in the design of nMOFs as nanocarriers for cancer vaccine delivery and as nanosensitizers for PDT, CDT, RT, and RT-RDT. The versatility of nMOFs allows them to be fine-tuned to effectively load tumor antigens and immunoadjuvants as cancer vaccines and significantly enhance the local antitumor efficacy of PDT, RT, RT-RDT, and CDT via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for in situ cancer vaccination. These nMOF-based treatments are further combined with cancer immunotherapies to elicit systemic antitumor immunity. We discuss novel strategies to enhance light tissue penetration and overcome tumor hypoxia in PDT, to increase energy deposition and ROS diffusion in RT, to combine the advantages of PDT and RT to enable RT-RDT, and to trigger CDT by hijacking aberrant metabolic processes in tumors. Loading nMOFs with small-molecule drugs such as an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor, the toll-like receptor agonist imiquimod, and biomacromolecules such as CpG oligodeoxynucleotides and anti-CD47 antibody synergizes with nMOF-based radical therapies to enhance their immunotherapeutic effects. Further combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors activates systemic antitumor immune responses and elicits abscopal effects. With structural and compositional tunability, nMOFs are poised to provide a new clinically deployable nanotechnology platform to promote immunostimulatory tumor microenvironments by delivering cancer vaccines, mediating PDT, enhancing RT, enabling RT-RDT, and catalyzing CDT and potentiate cancer immunotherapy.
