Despite its established anti-diabetic activity, Metformin hydrochloride (MET) has been repurposed for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Owing to MET high aqueous solubility and poor oral permeability, a novel nanoplatform is sought to overcome the current challenges of traditional formulations. In this study, we developed MET-bridged nanocochleates (MET-CO) using a direct bridging method followed by optimization and assessment using various in-vitro and in-vivo pharmacokinetic methods.

This work examines the interactions between chemistry and materials computational science at the atomic and molecular scales for metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent development toward carbon dioxide (CO) capture. Herein, a connection will be drawn between atomic forces predicted by ML algorithms and the structures of MOFs for CO adsorption.
