A novel magnetically guided, oxygen propelled CoPt/Au nanosheet motor in conjugation with a multilayer hollow microcapsule for effective drug delivery and light triggered drug release

Abstract

In recent years, nanomotors have been developed and attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications. In this work, a magnetically-guided oxygen-propelled CoPt/gold nanosheet motor (NSM) was prepared and used as an active self-propelled platform that can load, transfer and control the release of drug carrier to cancer cells. As a drug carrier, the microcapsules were constructed by the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating of chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose layers, followed by incorporation of gold and magnetite nanoparticles. Doxorubicin (DOX) as an anti-cancer drug was loaded onto the synthesized microcapsules with a loading efficiency of 77%. The prepared NSMs can deliver the DOX loaded magnetic multilayer microcapsule to the target cancer cell based on the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 solution (1% v/v) via guidance from an external magnetic force. The velocity of NSM was determined to be 25.1 μm s−1 in 1% H2O2. Under near-infrared irradiation, and due to the photothermal effect of the gold nanoparticles, the proposed system was found to rapidly release more drugs compared to that of an internal stimulus diffusion process. Moreover, the investigation of cytotoxicity of NSMs and multilayer microcapsules clearly revealed that they have negligible side effects over all the concentrations tested.
