Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks have attracted increasing attention in the fields of nanotechnology and nanoscience. However, the biomedical applications of COFs still remain less explored. Here, a new type of nanoscale covalent organic framework (COF-366) composite was prepared by a facile solvothermal method. The obtained material was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the COF-366 nanocarriers possess uniform spherical morphology with a diameter of 150 nm, which make them favourable for drug delivery. After the plumbagin encapsulation, an effective pH responsive release, high adsorption capacity, and good biocompatibility were achieved. These characteristics make nanoscale COF-366 an ideal material for drug delivery and reveal its promising application in biomedical applications.
