Materials are needed to increase the stability and half-life of therapeutic proteins during delivery. These materials should be biocompatible and biodegradable. Here, we demonstrate that enzymes and immunoproteins can be encapsulated inside cyclodextrin based metal-organic frameworks using potassium as the metal node. The release profile can be controlled with the solubility of the cyclodextrin linker. The activity of the proteins after release is determined using catalytic and assays. The results show that cyclodextrin metal-organic framework-based protein biocomposites are a promising class of materials to deliver therapeutic proteins.

Background: The buildup of methylparaben (MP), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative with endocrine-disrupting properties, in environmental sources, especially aquatic systems, has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects, including allergic reactions, promoting the risk of developing cancer, and inducing reproductive disorders. Hence, introducing inexpensive and easy-to-use monitoring devices for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection and quantification of MP is highly desirable. In this context, electrochemical platforms have proven to be attractive options due to their remarkable features, such as ease of fabrication and use, short response time, and acceptable sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity.

Sensitive intelligent films can be used to accurately monitor food freshness. In this study, a cellulose acetate curcumin-loaded cyclodextrin (CD)-based metal-organic framework intelligent film (CA-Cur@CD-MOF) was developed to monitor shrimp freshness at different spoilage stages in real time. The mechanical, barrier, optical, and ammonia-sensitive properties of this film were studied.

The development of safe, environmentally friendly, edible antimicrobial packaging films represents a promising alternative to conventional plastic packaging for reducing spoilage and extending the shelf life of fresh food. Here, we propose a novel strategy to construct edible β-CD-MOF/carvacrol@zein (BCCZ) composite films by intertwining β-CD-MOF loaded with the antimicrobial essential oil carvacrol, and zein. The resulting BCCZ films exhibit high humidity-triggered, long-lasting bactericidal efficacy, effective fruit preservation, and excellent biosafety.

Curcumin (CUR) is highly promising for topical therapeutic applications, but water-insolubility is one of the major challenges plaguing its drugability, while conventional lipid nanocarriers are limited by low drug-carrying capacity, many additives, and complex processes. In the current work, we constructed a composite carrier integrated with cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) and cyclodextrin nanosponge (β-CDNS), in which the γ-CD-MOF had 13.9 % drug loading and 267.

Combination therapy using multiple drugs has the potential for synergistic therapeutic effects and reduction in the administered dose. Furthermore, when combined with a drug delivery system, the therapeutic agents can effectively be targeted and delivered to the affected area. Therefore, a single carrier capable of encapsulating multiple drugs is of clinical significance.
