Abstract：

Due to the limited efficacy and evident side effects of traditional chemotherapy drugs attributed to their lack of specificity and selectivity, novel strategies are essential for improving cancer treatment outcomes. Here, we successfully engineered Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles coated with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The resulting nanocomposite (Fe₃O₄@ZIF-8) demonstrates efficient adsorption of a substantial amount of doxorubicin (DOX) due to the porous nature of ZIF-8. The drug-loaded nanoparticles, Fe₃O₄@ZIF-8/DOX, exhibit significant accumulation at the tumor site in SW620 colon-cancer-bearing mice when guided by an external magnetic field. Within the acidic microenvironment of the tumor, the ZIF-8 framework collapses, releasing DOX and effectively inducing tumor cell death, thereby inhibiting cancer progression while not causing undesired side effects, as confirmed by a variety of in vitro and in vivo characterizations. In comparison to free DOX, Fe₃O₄@ZIF-8/DOX nanoparticles show superior efficacy in colon cancer treatment. Our findings suggest that Fe₃O₄@ZIF-8 holds promise as a carrier for small-molecule drug adsorption and its ferromagnetic properties provide drug targeting capabilities, thereby enhancing therapeutic effects on tumors at the same drug dosage. With excellent biocompatibility, Fe₃O₄@ZIF-8 demonstrates potential as a drug carrier in targeted cancer chemotherapy. Our work suggests that a combination of magnetic targeting and acid-responsiveness holds great promise for advancing targeted cancer therapy in precision nanomedicine.

摘要：

由于傳統(tǒng)化療藥物缺乏特異性和選擇性，其療效有限，副作用明顯，因此新的策略對于改善癌癥治療效果至關(guān)重要。在這里，我們成功地設(shè)計了包裹有沸石咪唑酸框架-8 （ZIF-8）的Fe3O4磁性納米顆粒。由于ZIF-8的多孔性，所得到的納米復合材料（Fe3O4@ZIF-8）能夠有效吸附大量的阿霉素（DOX）。負載藥物的納米顆粒Fe3O4@ZIF-8/DOX在外部磁場引導下，在SW620結(jié)腸癌小鼠的腫瘤部位表現(xiàn)出顯著的積累。在腫瘤的酸性微環(huán)境中，ZIF-8框架崩潰，釋放DOX并有效誘導腫瘤細胞死亡，從而抑制癌癥進展，同時不會引起不良副作用，這一點得到了各種體外和體內(nèi)表征的證實。與游離DOX相比，Fe3O4@ZIF-8/DOX納米顆粒在結(jié)腸癌治療中表現(xiàn)出療效。我們的研究結(jié)果表明，Fe3O4@ZIF-8有望成為小分子藥物吸附的載體，其鐵磁特性提供了藥物靶向能力，從而在相同藥物劑量下增強對腫瘤的治療效果。Fe3O4@ZIF-8具有良好的生物相容性，具有作為靶向癌癥化療藥物載體的潛力。我們的工作表明，磁性靶向和酸反應(yīng)性的結(jié)合對于推進精確納米醫(yī)學中的靶向癌癥治療具有很大的希望。
