Porous Cu-MOF Nanostructures with Anticancer Properties Prepared by a Controllable Ultrasound-Assisted Reverse Micelle Method

The ultrasonic assisted reverse micelle method was used to create Cu-MOF from Cu(NO3)2•3H2O and 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid in a 1:1 molar proportion. It has been characterized using FT-IR, XRD, nitrogen adsorption analysis SEM and TEM-EDX. Cu-MOF has anticancer properties against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Cytotoxicity testing was performed on MCF-7 breast cancer cells using the MTT cell viability assay, and cell proliferation and viability were found to be approximately 24 % higher than the control.
