- Abstract
- Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced gasotransmitter involved in many physiological processes that are integral to proper cellular functioning. Due to its profound anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, H2S plays important roles in preventing inflammatory skin disorders and improving wound healing. Transdermal H2S delivery is a therapeutically viable option for the management of such disorders. However, current small-molecule H2S donors are not optimally suited for transdermal delivery and typically generate electrophilic byproducts that may lead to undesired toxicity. Here, we demonstrate that H2S release from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) bearing coordinatively unsaturated metal centers is a promising alternative for controlled transdermal delivery of H2S. Gas sorption measurements and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies of 11 MOFs support that the Mg-based framework Mg-2(dobdc) (dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxidobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) is uniquely well-suited for transdermal H2S delivery due to its strong yet reversible binding of H2S, high capacity (14.7 mmol/g at 1 bar and 25 degrees C), and lack of toxicity. In addition, Rietveld refinement of synchrotron PXRD data from H2S-dosed Mg-2(dobdc) supports that the high H2S capacity of this framework arises due to the presence of three distinct binding sites. Last, we demonstrate that transdermal delivery of H2S from Mg-2(dobdc) is sustained over a 24 h period through porcine skin. Not only is this significantly longer than sodium sulfide but this represents the first example of controlled transdermal delivery of pure H2S gas. Overall, H2S-loaded Mg-2(dobdc) is an easily accessible, solid-state source of H2S, enabling safe storage and transdermal delivery of this therapeutically relevant gas.
