Abstract

Zr-based MOF nanoparticles were applied as efficient carriers for alendronate delivery, and an unprecedented drug loading capacity was achieved thanks to the inherent drug anchorages of Zr–O clusters therein. The encapsulated drug featured with a pH-dependent release profile, and inhibited the growth of cancer cells more efficiently than the free drug.
