Sulfadiazine (SDZ), a bacteriostatic agent, was hosted in a metal-organic framework, specifically in MIL-53(Al) and modified-zinc MIL-53(Al,Zn). Materials were characterized structural, and texturally. Both hosts loaded sulfadiazine but they were differenced regarding the release of sulfadiazine. The presence of zinc plays a significant role to the modulation of sulfadiazine-MOF interactions. Release of sulfadiazine from sulfadiazine@MOFs was monitored and conditions. A kinetic release model is proposed for sulfadiazine release. Remarkably, the materials did not show cytotoxicity against eukaryote cells.
