Natural Polymer Encapsulated Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-12 Composite toward Electrochemical Sensing of Antitumor Agent.

Encapsulation of natural polymer pectin (Pec) into a zeolitic imidazolate framework-12 (ZIF-12) matrix via a simple chemical method toward anticancer agent gallic acid (GA) detection is reported in this work. GA, a natural phenol found in many food sources, has gained attention by its biological effects on the human body, such as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately and rapidly determine the GA level in humans.

Molecular Diagnosis and Cancer Prognosis-A Concise Review.

Cancer is a complicated disease. Globally, it is one of the major causes for morbidity and mortality. A critical challenge associated with it is the difficulty to accurately diagnose it at an early stage.

Novel Electrochemical Sensing of Catechins in Raw Green Tea Extract via a Trimetallic Zeolitic Imidazolate Fibrous Framework.

Human health-related issues are increasing in day to day life because of the modern and unhygienic food lifestyles. In recent times, green tea (GT) gains more attention due to its numerous health benefits. It contains more biologically active compounds that improve mental health, increase metabolism, reduce cancer risks, and serve as an anti-aging agent for the brain.

Cobalt-iron zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) as microfibers for the effective detection of hydroquinone.

The monitoring of pollutants has received significant attention from researchers in recent years owing to their hazardous nature and their toxic effect on the environment. Among them, water pollution plays a major role and results in dominant diseases along with life-long health problems. Hydroquinone (HQ), the major metabolite of benzene, is an industrially used organic compound which causes symptoms associated with nervous related disorders, such as faintness, therefore the research community has been inspired to detect sources of this carcinogenic agent.

Bi-metallic zeolite imidazole framework nanofibers for the selective determination of Cd ions.

Cobalt zinc-zeolite imidazole framework (Co/Zn-ZIF) nanofibers are made via an electrospinning (ES) approach and tested for the detection of heavy metal cadmium ions. Electrostatically attracted cobalt and zinc ions are bound regularly on the surface of the ZIF network. The cobalt and zinc ions are organized with the ZIF network, which provides the sturdily bonded tetrahedral structure of Co/Zn-ZIF, giving essential steadiness to the composite material.
