Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality for anticancer treatments and is becoming a cutting-edge interdisciplinary research field. This review starts with the latest developments of SDT and provides a brief comprehensive discussion on ultrasonic cavitation, sonodynamic effect, and sonosensitizers in order to popularize the basic principles and probable mechanisms of SDT. Then the recent progress of MOF-based sonosensitizers is overviewed, and the preparation methods and properties (e.g., morphology, structure, and size) of products are presented in a fundamental perspective. More importantly, many deep observations and understanding toward MOF-assisted SDT strategies were described in anticancer applications, aiming to highlight the advantages and improvements of MOF-augmented SDT and synergistic therapies. Last but not least, the review also pointed out the probable challenges and technological potential of MOF-assisted SDT for the future advance. In all, the discussions and summaries of MOF-based sonosensitizers and SDT strategies will promote the fast development of anticancer nanodrugs and biotechnologies.
