Abstract
Magnetic targeting delivery of anti-cancer drug with controlled drug release function has been recognized as a promising strategy for pursuit of the increased chemotherapeutic efficacy and reduced adverse effects. Superparamagnetic nano-carrier is proved to be an efficient manner for superficial tumor therapy like head and neck cancers. The anti-tumor effect of chemotherapy drug can be enhanced by combining with external magnet. Herein, we reported the fabrication and functionalization of biocompatible and superparamagnetic hollow mesoporous nanoparticles with magnetic targeting. The nanoparticles drug delivery system was constructed by surface-engineering polyacrylic acid (PAA) onto the superparamagnetic nanoparticles which can load bleomycin (BLM) both in the mesoporous structure and via bonding with PAA. The drug was targeted and retained to the focal area under the magnetic field with the nano-carriers, and released sustainably. Detailed investigations demonstrated that PAA-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles loading BLM could stimulate tumor cells to apoptosis locally. The drug loaded and delivery system endowed the anticancer drug with targeting capability in vitro and suppressed the growth of tumor in vivo. The present targeted drug delivery system is a rather simple method without sophisticated chemistry or materials engineering and is promising in contributing to the progress of nanotherapeutics toward efficient head and neck cancer treatment.
