One-pot encapsulation of penicillin G into ZIF-8 and its antibacterial activity
Key Points
To explore the encapsulation of penicillin G into ZIF-8 and assess its antibacterial efficacy.
Utilized a one-pot method for encapsulating penicillin G into ZIF-8.
Assessed the antibacterial activity of the encapsulated drug.
Analyzed the properties and effectiveness of metal-organic frameworks in drug delivery.
Demonstrated significant antibacterial activity of penicillin G encapsulated in ZIF-8.
The encapsulation improved the drug's stability and release characteristics.
Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide adaptable platforms for drug delivery and antibacterial applications owing to their adjustable porosity, high surface area, and catalytic characteristics.
