In order to prolong the release and reduce the toxicity of anticancer drug - doxorubicin (DOX), delivery systems (DS) using different polyanions have been developed. Structural (size, morphological stability) and functional (encapsulation efficiency, DOX release) characteristics of three types of DS are compared: CaCO3 porous vaterites doped with polyanions by co-precipitation and coating techniques, and DOX-polyanion conjugates. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), it was shown that the doping enhances the morphological stability of CaCO3-based DS during the DOC loading. Doping of CaCO3 cores by co-precipitation reduces its sizes (up to 1 mu m) and DOX encapsulation efficiency. Polyanion-coated CaCO3 cores and polyanion drug conjugates show about 98 w/w% DOX encapsulation. For the first time, it was shown that the release of DOX from developed DS into human blood plasma is more intense (from 1.3 to 3.0 times for different DS) than into model tumour environment.
