Bio-inspired Metal-organic Frameworks in The Pharmaceutical World a Brief Review

The emerging and interesting field of MOF encouraged us to bring forth the book titled ''Metal Organic Frameworks''. The book is divided into three sections. Section A consists of introduction, Section B comprises the synthesis and characterization techniques, and Section C is dedicated to the applications of MOFs. The book would be useful for scientists and researchers interested in the field of MOFs. One of the great challenges in the pharmaceutical industry is the search for more efficient and cost-effective ways to store and deliver existing drugs. Bio-inspired metal-organic frameworks (BioMOFs) are groundbreaking materials that have recently been explored for drug storage, delivery and controlled release as well as for applications in imaging and sensing for therapeutic and diagnostic. This review presents a brief overview on these materials, and by alluding to a few reported examples, it intends to clearly show the extremely important role that BioMOFs have been playing in the pharmaceutical field
