A new core-shell pH-responsive nanocarrier was synthesized, which could release drugs in acidic pH conditions. The nanocarrier exhibited excellent biocompatibility and hemocompatibility, and showed potential as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
A new core-shell pH-responsive nanocarrier was prepared based on magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) core. Magnetic nanoparticles were first modified with hyperbranched polyglycerol as the first shell. Then the magnetic core was decorated with doxorubicin anticancer drug (DOX) and covered with PEGylated carboxymethylcellulose as the second shell. Borax was used to partially cross-link organic shells in order to evaluate drug loading content and pH-sensitivity. The structure of nanocarrier, organic shell loadings, magnetic responsibility, morphology, size, dispersibility, and drug loading content were investigated by IR, NMR, TG, VSM, XRD, DLS, HR-TEM and UV-Vis analyses. In vitro release investigations demonstrated that the use of borax as cross-linker between organic shells make the nanocarrier highly sensitive to pH so that more that 70% of DOX is released in acidic pH. A reverse pH sensitivity was observed for the nanocarrier without borax cross-linker. The MTT assay determined that the nanocarrier exhibited excellent biocompatibility toward normal cells (HEK-293) and high toxicity against cancerous cells (HeLa). The nanocarrier also showed high hemocompatibility. Cellular uptake revealed high ability of nanocarrier toward HeLa cells comparable with free DOX. The results also suggested that low concentration of nanocarrier has a great potential for use as contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
