Abstract

Multifunctional nanomedicines featuring high drug loading capacity, controllable drug release and real-time self-monitoring are attracting increasing attention due to their potential to improve cancer therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a new kind of FeO@C-based nanoparticles modified with isoreticular metal organic frameworks (IRMOF-3), folic acid (FA) and detachable polyethylene glycol (PEG) under tumor microenvironment was developed. The core-shell structured FeO@C was synthesized via the one-pot solvothermal reaction and the IRMOF-3 layers were coated on the outer shell of FeO@C through layer-by-layer coating method. The FA and PEG were conjugated on the surface of nanoparticles by reacting with the amine groups provided by IRMOF-3. The as-synthesized nanoparticles showed stable photothermal effect, superparamagnetic properties and blue fluorescence characteristic under 360 nm irradiation. The in vitro experiments showed that the drug loaded nanoparticles exhibit pH-dependent drug release property, and PEGylation was proved effective in suppressing burst drug release (only 8.0% of drugs were released within 95 h). The confocal laser scanning microscopy study revealed that the as-synthesized nanoparticles could serve as a cell imaging agent and the cell internalization can be significantly enhanced after FA modified. The IRMOF-3 modified nanoparticles showed negligible cytotoxicity and the drug loaded nanoparticles showed pH/photothermal-stimuli enhanced cytotoxicity in vitro. It is believed that the present smart drug delivery platforms will hold great potential in imaging guided drug delivery and cancer therapy.
