This study presents the synthesis of Zn/La³⁺-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using a co-precipitation assisted microwave method. Characterization through SEM and TEM revealed uniform nanoparticles around 80 nm. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of key functional groups. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed highly uniform particle sizes. In vitro release studies of captopril from Zn/La³⁺/MOFs demonstrated a 41% release rate over 300 min, compared to 64% for pure captopril. Encapsulation within the MOF matrix ensured controlled and sustained drug release, with the first -order kinetic model fitting best. These Zn/La³⁺/MOFs show promise for enhanced and controlled drug delivery systems.

A new potentiometric sensor based on a β- cyclodextrin modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was designed for the determination of the captopril drug. The effect of various cyclodextrins (α, β and γ- cyclodextrins) and their percentage, binder agent and ion additive on the potential response have been investigated and the electrode with the best potential response was found. The linear concentration range for this electrode was 7.0×10-7-1.0×10-1 M with a low detection limit of 2.0 × 10-7 M. The effect of pH and temperature on the Nernstian slope was also investigated and the optimal range was obtained. The selectivity of the captopril CPE to interfering species including Li+, K+, Ni+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Cr2+, Cr3+, Zn2+,Mn2+, Fe2+, F-, Cl-, SO42-, C2O42- PO43-, C2O42-, ascorbic acid, uric acid, glucose, D-fructose and sucrose was determined by Separate Solution (SSM) and Matched Potential Method (MPM) methods. Finally, the proposed electrode was tested for measuring captopril in drug formulation, blood serum, and urine samples.
