One-Pot Synthesis of DOX@Covalent Organic Framework with Enhanced Chemotherapeutic Efficacy

TLDR
In this work, doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully in situ loaded into a COF by a one-pot method for the first time and the resultant DOX@COF platform exhibited high drug-loading capacity (32.1 wt %) and pH-responsive release property.
Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted great attention across diverse research fields. However, only a few reports about the biomedical application of COFs are found in the literature. Attributed to the highly porous and tunable structure, as well as good thermal stability, COFs show great potential as drug carriers for chemotherapy. In this work, doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully in situ loaded into a COF by a one-pot method for the first time. The resultant DOX@COF platform exhibited high drug-loading capacity (32.1 wt %) and pH-responsive release property. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated its good biocompatibility and enhanced antitumor efficacy.

Cancer Nanotechnology: The impact of passive and active targeting in the era of modern cancer biology

TL;DR: The fundamental concepts of enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) are revisited and the mechanisms proposed to enhance preferential "retention" in the tumor, whether using active targeting of nanoparticles, binding of drugs to their tumoral targets or the presence of tumor associated macrophages are explored.
