Article Lapatinib-Loaded ZIF-8 Nanoparticles: a Multifunctional Drug Delivery System With Anticancer, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties(American Chemical Society, 2025) Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Sanli-Mohamed, Gulsah; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe pitfalls of conventional chemotherapy, including poor solubility, off-target toxicity, and multidrug resistance, have driven the development of nanoparticle-based delivery systems. Here, we report the facile one-pot synthesis of lapatinib-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (LAP@ZIF-8) nanoparticles. The formulation achieved an encapsulation efficiency of 72.4% and a drug loading capacity of 6.6%. Comprehensive physicochemical characterization confirmed uniform hexagonal morphology (SEM), favorable hydrodynamic size (236 +/- 2 nm; DLS), positive surface charge (+29 mV; zeta-potential), high crystallinity (XRD), and excellent thermal stability (TGA). LAP release was pH-responsive, with similar to 77% cumulative release at pH 5.5 (tumor-mimicking) versus 43% at pH 7.4 after 96 h. Serum-protein binding (<11%) and hemolysis (<2%) assays demonstrated good biocompatibility. In vitro, LAP@ZIF-8 exhibited potent, selective cytotoxicity toward HER2-positive SK-BR-3 breast-cancer cells (72 h IC50 = 1.2 mu g mL-1) while sparing HER2-negative MCF-7 cells. Importantly, both free LAP and LAP@ZIF-8 were well-tolerated by nontumorigenic MCF-10A mammary epithelial cells: viability remained >= 90% at <= 1 mu g mL-1 and exceeded 50% even at 100 mu g mL-1, indicating that the IC50 was not reached and providing a preliminary safety window for healthy tissues. Beyond its anticancer effects, the nanocarrier displayed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity (minimum bactericidal concentrations: 5 mg mL-1 for Staphylococcus aureus and 10 mg mL-1 for Escherichia coli) and moderate antioxidant capacity (DPPH IC50 = 666 mu g mL-1). Collectively, these results position LAP@ZIF-8 as a versatile, pH-sensitive platform that combines selective anticancer efficacy with low toxicity to healthy cells alongside ancillary antibacterial and antioxidant properties suitable for multimodal therapy.
