Naringin, a natural product, can be used as a therapeutic agent due to its low systemic toxicity and negligible adverse effect. However, due to its hydrophobic nature and thereby low solubility, high-dose treatment is required when used for human therapy. Herein, we demonstrate the employment of a metal-organic framework (MOF) as a nontoxic loading carrier to encapsulate naringin, and the afforded nairngin@MOF composite can serve as a multifunctional bioplatform capable of treating Gram-positive bacteria and certain cancers by slowly and progressively releasing the encapsulated naringin as well as improving and modulating immune system functions through synergy between naringin and the MOF.
