Abstract

Aim: To realize the transit and release of cancer drug exactly as well as high drug loading ratio, we reported a biocompatible and temperature responsive controlled drug delivery system based on 3D mesoporous structured Au networks. Materials & methods: Here, we filled the hollow interiors of Au networks with a phase-change material so that the drug release was easily regulated by controlling the temperature only. Results: Thanks to the high near-infrared reflectance absorbance and mesoporous structure, the Au-PEG + lauric acid/doxorubicin system showed a strong photothermal conversion efficiency, high drug-loading ratio (54.2% for doxorubicin) and controlled drug release. Conclusion: This system revealed great advantages in photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, offering an obvious synergistic effect in cancer treatment.
