BMC Chemistry volume 14, Article number: 57 (2020)
Abstract
The ligands of (E)-bis(p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) vinyl (C16H10N2O8) were synthesized in three steps, and then the MOF-Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was synthesized by solvothermal method. This structure was characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, SEM and TG. The drug loading and in vitro release of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O were also studied with Methadone as model drug. The results show that the highest loading amount of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O to Methadone was 0.256 g/g, and the drug delivery system was a two-phase mode. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity test show that Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O has good biocompatibility.
Introduction
Methadone is the main drug in current opioid drugs addiction replacement therapy [1]. Methadone can bind to opioid receptors competitively in human body, and can produce cross dependence and tolerance with opioids such as heroin, thus it can reduce the sensitivity of opioid receptors in drug dependent patients [2]. At the same time, combined with psychotherapy, behavioral intervention and other comprehensive measures, methadone can eventually reduce the harm of drugs and the demand for drugs to addicts [3].
The dosage of methadone has been a controversial issue. There are many studies supporting the use of high-dose methadone, that is to say, the higher the dosage of methadone, the longer the holding time of patients, and the better effect of alternative maintenance therapy [4]. However, methadone itself is addictive, and long-term or high-dose use is easy to lead to addiction [5]. Nevertheless, the action time of low-dose methadone (such as 2.5–5 mg) is only 6-8 h [6], which is not convenient for clinical use.
At present, the research hotspots of methadone replacement maintenance therapy focus mainly on the cognitive survey of patients with methadone maintenance treatment [7], the operation of methadone outpatient service [8], the retention rate and its influencing factors in methadone maintenance treatment [9], and the cost-effectiveness of methadone maintenance treatment [10].
As one of the advanced frontier materials, metal organic frameworks(MOFs) is the fastest developing direction of coordination chemistry in recent 10 years [11]. It has a super molecular network structure [12], and has the advantages of both inorganic and organic compounds [13]. The structure of this kind of frame material can realize diversified design and adjustable pore size or structure. So it can realize semi directional design synthesis [14]. The research of this kind of molecular functional materials has spanned many fields such as crystallography, materials science, inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organic chemistry, etc. [15]. As a new type of nano porous material, comparing with activated carbon and zeolite, MOFs have been widely used in the fields of gas capture, storage and separation [16]; drug release [17]; optical, magnetic, electrical science [18]; catalytic science [19]; chiral resolution [20] and so on.
Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O is a new type of 3D porous MOFs material [21]. It has excellent gas adsorption performance in study of many kinds of gas molecules, but it has not been reported as a drug carrier. In this paper, we use methadone as the model drug, and optimized the preparation process of the drug carrier by two factors. We investigated the in vitro release characteristics and in vitro cytotoxicity experiment of the drug carrier Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O, which provided the foundation for its development and application as a drug carrier.
Results and discussion
Chemistry
The synthesis of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O by solvothermal method began with the synthesis of (E)—bis (p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) ethylene ligand (C16H10N2O8) which was synthesized by Nitrification and coupling from p-chloromethylbenzoic acid (Scheme 1).
Crystal structures of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
Single X-ray crystal diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 crystallizes in the P-1 space group, and possesses an extended 3D framework with a novel dinuclear Zinc clusters as secondly build unit. In dinuclear Zinc unit, each Zn2+ is connected by four oxygen atoms, two of which come from the same EBNB ligand, as shown in Fig. 1. The distance of Zn–O is 2.03 Å. The remaining two oxygen atoms come from two different EBNB ligand respectively (Fig. 1), and the distance of Zn–O is 2.13 and 2.17 Å respectively. The EBNB also have two coordination modes with the Zn2+, first one is the carboxylic oxygen atom links to one Zn2+, and the other is two oxygen atoms connect to two Zn2+ respectively. Each cluster unit is linked with neighboring units through four EBNB ligands to form a 2D layer (Fig. 2). Four BPY molecules serve as pillar ligands to coordinate with the outer Zn atoms which gives raise to 3D framework (Fig. 3).
Figure 1 also shows that a single (E)-di(p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) ethylene ligand is coordinated with two Zn (II) ions along the AC plane, and each Zn (II) ion is also coordinated with an oxygen coordination atom in a water molecule and two (E)-di(p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) ethylene ligands, thus extending outward to form a 2D plane. Along the c-axis direction, the layers and the interlayer are connected with Zn (II) ion via bipyridine column ligand to build a 3D network structure. And finally, a 3D metal organic framework material with one-dimensional pore structure is formed (Figs. 2, 3 and 4).
Microscope and SEM image of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
The morphology of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was characterized by microscope and SEM. Figure 5 is a microscope picture of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O. It can be seen from Fig. 5 that it is yellow diamond crystal. Figure 6 shows the surface morphology of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O in SEM. It can be seen from Fig. 6 that the surface structure of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O is fish scale.
Powder XRD characterization of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
Figure 7 is the powder XRD characterization of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O which are actual measured, software simulation’s and ligand’s. Among it, A is the ligand bipyridine’s XRD, B is the (E)-di(p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) ethylene ligand’s XRD, C is the Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O’s actual measured XRD, and D is the Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O’s simulated XRD. It can be seen from the figure that the measured value of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O is in good agreement with the simulated value of the software, which shows that the compound is a pure phase, and there are obvious differences compare with the two ligands.
Thermal analysis of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
The thermal gravimetric analysis of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was carried out by DSC-TG in the temperature range of 0 °C to 600 °C. Figure 8 is the DSC-TG diagram of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O. It can be seen from the figure that Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O can be stabilized to 350 °C. Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O lost 3.78% of its first thermal weight in the temperature range of 50–200 °C, which can be attributed to the loss of guest molecules. However, in the temperature range of 350 °C ~ 560 °C, the structure collapses, resulting in 46.58% weight loss. The main component is ZnO.
Study on sustained release of drug
Determination of drug loading of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
The maximum absorption peak of Methadone methanol solution is 292 nm.
Table 1 shows the relationship between the ratio of Methadone to carrier mass and the drug loading time to the drug loading of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O. It can be seen that with the increase of the ratio of Methadone to carrier mass (fixed carrier mass, increasing drug mass), the drug loading of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O increases. Also,the longer the action time, the higher the loading of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O. However, the highest loading of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O appeared on the 5th day under different drug to carrier mass ratio. This explains that the drug loading amount of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O reaches the maximum value at the 5th day of adsorption.
However, when the action time is extended to 7 days, the drug loading amount will decrease, which may be caused by the falling off of some drugs adsorbed on the surface of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O due to the long immersion time. This indicates that the best action time is 5 days. It can be seen from Table 1 that the best experimental condition of the mass ratio of the drug to the carrier is 5:1, the best action time is 5 days, and the highest drug loading can be obtained is 0.256 g/g carrier.
In vitro release of Methadone loaded by Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
As shown in Fig. 9, the drug release process is divided into two processes. The first 5 h of the drug release curve shows the characteristics of sudden release, and the sudden release of Methadone is 40.1% within 5 h. This is mainly due to the diffusion of the Methadone which adsorbed on the surface of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O into the medium. And then it enters a stable and slow release stage, those Methadone adsorbed in the Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O channel is being released slowly. Within 30 h of stable release, the release amount of Methadone reached 79.85%, showing a significant slow-release effect.
Cytotoxic test results of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O
In this study, normal growth cells (Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O’s concentration of 0 μ g · ML−1) were used as the negative control group, and Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was used as the drug group to study the cytotoxicity of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O on HeLa cells in vitro. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity experiments shows that the survival rate of HeLa cells decreased with the increase of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O’s concentration after 36 h of exposure to different concentrations of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O. When the concentration of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was less than 20 μ g·ml−1, the survival rate of HeLa cells was higher than that of the control group P > 0.05(Significant difference level). But when the concentration of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O is more than 20 μg·ml−1, the cell survival rate decreases with the increase of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O’s concentration. When the concentration of Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O is 250 μg·ml−1, the cell survival rate reaches the lowest value.
Conclusions
To sum up, Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O can be synthesized by solvothermal method via (E)-bis(p-3-nitrobenzoic acid) ethylene ligand (C16H10N2O8). After drying and activation treatment, Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O was loaded into Methadone with high drug loading. And the drug release curve shows that Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O has slow-release function and can prolong Methadone’s work. In addition, Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O has good biocompatibility and is expected to become an excellent drug carrier.
In this study, MOFs was introduced into the field of drug release. Some features of MOFs, such as high specific surface area; tailorable, designable, adjustable channel size and channel surface functionalization, are used to study the sustained-release mechanism of MOFs as a new drug delivery form. All of these provide reference information for the research and development of new dosage forms of anti-drug addiction.

HeLa cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium, which contains 10% fetal bovine serum. HeLa cells were used only at logarithmic growth stage and good growth state. Cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin and centrifuged to precipitate. RPMI 1640 culture medium which contains 10% fetal bovine serum was used to prepare cell suspension with a cell density of 1 × 105 cells·ml−1. Then it was inoculated into 96 well culture plate (104 cells per well, six multiple holes, each hole was 100 μ L.).
Then the culture plate was transferred to the incubator, and 100μ L RPMI 1640 culture medium was replaced at 37 °C, 5% CO2 and saturated humidity for 24 h. The experiment was divided into three groups: blank control (without cells), negative control (without cells, without Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O), Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O (with cells, with Zn2(EBNB)2(BPY)2·2H2O).
