Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of porous hollow microspheres of amorphous calcium phosphate using adenosine triphosphate, CaCl2 and soybean lecithin is reported.


The present work investigates a template-free and rapid synthesis of phosphate-based porous nanospheres via magnesium. The study reveals the magnesium plays a guide role in the formation of amorphous porous magnesium substituted nanospheres, including calcium phosphate (CaP), strontium phosphate (SrP) and barium phosphate (BaP). Cell viabilities of three kinds of particles were evaluated and CaP nanospheres indicated best biocompatibility. Thus, amorphous magnesium substituted CaP nanospheres were chosen as doxorubicin (DOX) carrier for drug delivery in cancer treatment and pH-responsive magnesium substitution can switch on under tumour acidic microenvironment and facilitate controlled sustained DOX release. The CaP nanospheres gave a sustainable release within 150 minutes. The results showed free DOX has better efficiency at killing cancer cells than CaP/DOX at 4 h. However, CaP/DOX systems effectively suppressed the cell proliferation comparing with free DOX at 36 h. Collectively, this simple and templet-free method for synthesis of amorphous porous nanospheres could serve as a promising chemo-therapeutics delivery system and effectively inhibition of cancer cell growth.
