Redox Active ZnMOFs as Spontaneous Reactive Oxygen Species Releasing Antimicrobials

The rapid development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among infectious pathogens has become a major threat and challenge in healthcare systems globally. A strategy distinct from minimizing the overuse of antimicrobials involves the development of novel antimicrobials with a mode of action that prevents the development of AMR microbial strains. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed as a natural byproduct of the cellular aerobic metabolism. However, it becomes pathological when ROS is produced at excessive levels. Exploiting this phenomenon, research on redox-active bactericides has been demonstrated to be beneficial. Materials that release ROS via photodynamic, thermodynamic, and photocatalytic interventions have been developed as nanomedicines and are used in various applications. However, these materials require external stimuli for ROS release to be effective as biocides. In this paper, we report novel zinc-based metal organic framework (ZnMOF) particles that promote the spontaneous release of active ROS species. The synthesized Zn@MOF spontaneously releases superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide, exhibiting a potent antimicrobial efficacy against various microbes. Zn@MOF-incorporated plastic films and coatings show excellent, long-lasting antimicrobial potency even under continuous microbial challenge and an aging process. These disinfecting surfaces maintain their antimicrobial properties even after 500× surface wipes. Zn@MOF is also biocompatible and safe on the skin, illustrating its broad potential applications in medical technology and consumer care applications.
