Summary: Cancer remains a severe threat to human health. The marriage of nanomaterials and therapeutic methods, especially metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), provides a practical possibility to improve the deficiencies in cancer therapy. MOFs have been widely applied in cancer therapy to overcome the drawbacks of other therapeutic methods through their controllable morphologies, tailorable diameters, diverse compositions, tunable porosities, high specific surface areas, facile functionalization, and good biocompatibility.

Covalent Organic Framework Nanobowls as Activatable Nanosensitizers for Tumor-Specific and Ferroptosis-Augmented Sonodynamic Therapy

Shanshan Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, COF nanobowls were synthesized and utilized as activatable nanosensitizers with tumor-specific sonodynamic activity. The high crystallinity of the COF nanobowls enables efficient loading of the sonosensitizer and the in situ growth of manganese oxide inhibits non-specific damage to normal tissues. When reacting with tumor-overexpressed glutathione, the gatekeeper manganese oxide is decomposed to restore the ROS generation capability, leading to increased intracellular ROS stress and enhanced sonodynamic efficacy.

Designing Covalent Organic Framework-Based Light-Driven Microswimmers toward Therapeutic Applications

Varun Sridhar et al.

Summary: Tailored micromachines enable therapeutic applications in biological environments, but require sophisticated designs for controlled motion and targeted drug delivery. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer new perspectives for light-driven microswimmers in biological media, such as intraocular fluids, for applications like retinal drug delivery. Two types of COFs, spherical TABP-PDA-COF sub-micrometer particles and nanoporous TpAzo-COF micrometer particles, are described as efficient visible-light-driven drug carriers in aqueous ionic and cellular media, with biocompatibility and the ability to load insoluble drugs for on-demand release. ICG dye loading in the COF pores enables real-time imaging and heat therapy for therapeutic applications.

Construction of Multiform Hollow-Structured Covalent Organic Frameworks via a Facile and Universal Strategy for Enhanced Sonodynamic Cancer Therapy

Sainan Liu et al.

Summary: The special structural morphology of hollow covalent organic frameworks (HCOFs) has a significant impact on their applications. However, the precise control of morphology for HCOFs remains challenging. In this study, a two-step strategy based on solvent evaporation and oxidation of imine bond is presented, enabling the controllable synthesis of HCOFs. The oxidation of imine bond via hydroxyl radicals (.OH) generated from Fenton reaction results in the construction of seven kinds of HCOFs with diverse nanostructures, including bowl-like, yolk-shell, capsule-like, and flower-like morphologies. The obtained HCOFs, with their large cavities, are ideal candidates for drug delivery and have been successfully used for enhanced sonodynamic cancer therapy in vivo.

Driving Fluorescence by Forming AIEgens in a Hollow Azine-Linked Covalent Organic Framework

Yue-Dang Xia et al.

Summary: Highly conjugated 2D-COFs show aggregation-caused quenching but conducive to aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) due to their viscous microenvironment. In this study, salicylaldehyde azine (SA) was formed for the first time through condensation between non-AIE monomers in a 2D azine COF (ACOF). A hollow ACOF (HACOF) with improved dispersibility and accessibility was achieved by growing the ACOF on a sacrificial template and digesting it under mild acidic conditions. The HACOF exhibited strong red emission, high quantum yield, and broad response range for sensing ammonia (NH3). The emission mechanism of HACOF was attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which could be quenched by NH3. This novel HACOF provides insights into structure-dependent emission and quenching mechanisms for functionalized AIE COFs.

In Vivo Fluorescence Molecular Imaging Using Covalent Organic Nanosheets Without Labeling

Seokmin Kang et al.

Summary: Organic nanomaterials as nanocarrier platforms were successfully prepared in the form of two-dimensional covalent organic nanosheets (CONs), which can serve as efficient in vivo bioimaging probes. The CONs were obtained by condensing 1,3,5-triformylglucinol (Tp) and 2,7-diaminopyrene (Py) to produce covalent organic frameworks (COFs), followed by a liquid exfoliation process. The CONs dispersed well in water, exhibited favorable photoluminescence properties, and showed low cytotoxicity. In vivo fluorescence imaging studies using tumor-bearing mice confirmed the persistent and strong fluorescence signals in the tumor region after intravenous injection of the CONs dispersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), with low background signals from normal tissues.
