Abstract

Currently, precise ablation of tumors without damaging the surrounding normal tissue is still an urgent problem for clinical microwave therapy of liver cancer. Herein, we synthesized Mn-doped Ti MOFs (Mn-Ti MOFs) nanosheets by in-situ doping method and applied them for microwave therapy. Infrared thermal imaging results indicate Mn-Ti MOFs can rapidly increase the temperature of normal saline, attributing to the porous structure improving microwave-induced ion collision frequency. Moreover, Mn-Ti MOFs show higher 1O2 output than Ti MOFs under 2W of low-power microwave irradiation due to the narrower band-gap after Mn doping. At the same time, Mn endows the MOFs with a desirable T1 contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (r2/r1=2.315). Further, results on HepG2 tumor-bearing mice prove that microwave-triggered Mn-Ti MOFs nearly eradicate the tumors after 14 days of treatment. Our study offers a promising sensitizer for synergistic microwave thermal and microwave dynamic therapy of liver cancer.
