Chemotherapic cancer treatment has been limited by side effects and lack of target specificity. pH-triggered drug delivery systems can improve drug delivery to cancer cells. The synthesis of highly porous CaMgSiO4 nanospheres with uniform Mg doping shows promise for pH-responsive drug delivery. Characterizations showed increased surface area and drug loading capacity, with pH-triggered drug release and high cytotoxicity to cancer cells.
Chemotherapic cancer treatment has suffered from side effects and poor target specificity. pH-triggered drug delivery systems offer the opportunity to better deliver anticancer drugs to cancer cells in a more controllable manner. Herein, we reported a facile method to synthesize Mg-doped Ca2SiO4 (CaMgSiO4) nanospheres with highly porous structures as pH-responsive drug delivery. Material characterizations confirmed the uniform Mg doping within calcium silicates. After the Mg doping, the surface area of calcium silicates increased from 185.68 m2/g to 212.71 m2/g. When incorporated with PEG surface coating, the porous CaMgSiO4 nanoparticles displayed over 50% increased doxorubicin (DOX) loading capacity compared with Ca2SiO4 nanoparticles. The pHtriggered DOX release behaviors and cytotoxicity of porous CaMgSiO4 nanoparticles were investigated. As a result, porous CaMgSiO4 nanoparticles were highly sensitive to pH stimulus and exhibited high biocompatibility and strong cancer cell killing effect (over 75%).
