In this study, a delivery system for heparin was developed using magnetic composite materials, allowing for controlled, sustained, and targeted release. The composite exhibited high loading capacity and magnetic targeting capability, reducing systemic adverse effects and displaying excellent anticoagulant features.
Heparin, the most widely used anticoagulant drug in the world today, suffers from the risk of overdose and a short serum half-life, limiting its clinical applications. Concerning the controlled, sustained, and targeted release of heparin, a delivery system was fabricated in this research using the layered composites of Fe3O4 magnetic particles and pH-sensitive metal-organic framework, Fe3O4@ZIF-8. The composite demonstrated a high loading capacity for the heparin, 66.8 mg/g. The composite had a saturation magnetization of 1.5 emu/g and thus owned a magnetic targeting function, i.e. drug can be centered at a certain point using an external magnetic field. The anticoagulant activity was assessed by monitoring their activated partial thromboplastin time. The results showed that the pH-responsive and sustained release of the heparin reduced the systemic adverse effects associated with high concentrations. Moreover, control over the dose exhibited excellent anticoagulant features with fewer side effects.
