However, very little is knownabout the possible health or environmental risks that they may provoke. In the presentstudy, six MOFs, specifically UiO-64, UiO-66, CIM-80, CIM-81, CIM-82 and CIM-84,were synthesized and characterized. Two of them, UiO-64 and UiO-66 are MOFs widelyused; the other MOFs, with the abbreviations CIM (Canary Islands Materials), have beencharacterized in the University of La Laguna, and CIM-82 and CIM-84 are still in thephase of solving their crystalline structure. The cytotoxicity of these molecules wasevaluated in vitro with murine macrophages J774.A1 cell line, using the alamarBlue®method to obtain the lethal concentration that reduces 50% of these cells (CC50).Furthermore, it was evaluated their cytotoxicity in vivo using amphipod (Gammaropisatlantica). CIM-81 and CIM-82 were toxic in macrophages (CC50 of 0,98 ± 0,08 mg/mLand 0,88 ± 0,01 mg/mL, respectively) and in amphipods (all the individuals were dead).Therefore, there is a strong correlation between their in vivo and in vitro toxicity results.Two MOFs (UiO-64 and UiO-66) were more toxic to amphipods that to macrophages.CIM-80 and CIM-84 were not toxic.
