Microflora within cancer cells plays
a pivotal role in
promoting
metastasis of cancer. However, contemporary anticancer research often
overlooks the potential benefits of combining anticancer and antibacterial
agents. Consequently, a metal–organic framework Cu-Cip with
cuproptosis and antibacterial properties was synthesized for cancer
therapy. To enhance the anticancer effect of the material, Mn2+ was loaded into Cu-Cip, yielding Mn@Cu-Cip. The fabricated
material was characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction,
PXRD, and FT-IR. By interacting with overexpressed H2O2 to produce ROS and accumulating Cu ions in cancer cells,
MOFs exhibited excellent anticancer performance. Moreover, the material
displayed the function of damaging Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, revealing the
admirable antibacterial properties of the material. In addition, the
antibacterial ability could inhibit tumor cell migration. The Cu-based
MOF revealed promising applications in the field of tumor treatment.
