Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, organic–inorganic hybrid compounds with potential applications in catalysis, pollution control, energy, corrosion inhibition, and biomedicine. Their potential utility in most applications is attributed to their porosity and the numerous ways their structures can be tailored to achieve the desired function. The application of MOFs has been explored in different disciplines of biomedicine due to characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, high loading capacity, and ease of surface modification. This mini-review focuses on two biomedical applications of MOFs: wound healing and tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Firstly, the structures and properties of the most commonly used MOFs in wound healing and TB treatment are discussed, followed by a summary of some research conducted on wound healing and TB treatment. Secondly, the review will highlight the progress and challenges encountered in these research areas.
