Abstract
Magnetic targeted drug controlled release hydrogel microspheres were prepared by a radiation technique. Ferric oxide granules (size around 50 nm) were used as the core for magnetic target. The PVP ferrogels (ferromagnetic nanoparticles in hydrogel microsphere) were obtained by irradiating an emulsion of Poly (N‐vinylpyrrolidone) PVP/ferromagnetic granule with cobalt 60 γ–ray. The morphology of the PVP ferrogel was studied by both optical and electronic microscopy, respectively. A broad‐spectrum anticancer drug, Bleomycin A5 Hydrochloride (BLM), was immobilized in the ferrogel and the release property of the drug in vitro was studied. The function of targeting and anti‐cancer was studied on the New Zealand White rabbits, based on the implantation of experimental VX2 squamous cell carcinoma in the auricles of the rabbits.Keywords
