In this study, magnetic nanoparticles composed of a core (doxorubicin–gelatin) and a shell layer (Fe3O4–alginate) were developed to function as targeted anticancer drug delivery vehicles. The anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as a model drug and embedded in the inner gelatin core to obtain high encapsulation efficiency. The advantage of the outer magnetic layer is that it targets the drug to the tumor tissue and provides controlled drug release. The physicochemical properties of doxorubicin–gelatin/Fe3O4–alginate nanoparticles (DG/FA NPs) were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction. The mean diameter of DG/FA NPs, which was determined using a zeta potential analyzer, was 401.8 ± 3.6 nm. The encapsulation rate was 64.6 ± 11.8%. In vitro drug release and accumulation were also studied. It was found that the release of DOX accelerated in an acidic condition. With the manipulation of an external magnetic field, DG/FA NPs efficiently targeted Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) breast cancer cells and showed in the nucleus after 6 h of incubation. After 12 h of incubation, the relative fluorescence intensity reached 98.4%, and the cell viability of MCF-7 cells decreased to 52.3 ± 4.64%. Dual-layer DG/FA NPs could efficiently encapsulate and deliver DOX into MCF-7 cells to cause the death of cancer cells. The results show that DG/FA NPs have the potential for use in targeted drug delivery and cancer therapy.

Chitosan (CS) is an excellent natural biodegradable and biocompatible polymer for biomedical applications, however, its poor solubility in water or organic solvents limits its applications in drug delivery. In order to resolve this problem, chitosan was modified with acrylonitrile (AN) and arginine (Arg), the modified chitosan (AN–CS–Arg) was characterized by 1 H NMR and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The AN–CS–Arg was self-assembled into nanoparticles to encapsulate anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The size and morphology of the blank and drug-loaded AN–CS–Arg (AN–CS–Arg/DOX) nanoparticles were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The mean size of both blank and AN–CS–Arg/DOX nanoparticles were around 50 nm and 170 nm, respectively. The drug-loading content was about 12%. The release profile of AN–CS–Arg/DOX nanoparticles was investigated in vitro, 80% encapsulated DOX could be released within 80 h. The AN–CS–Arg nanoparticles were nontoxic to both NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and HepG2 cancer cells. The cellular uptake of the AN–CS–Arg nanoparticles was trafficked via Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Flow Cytometry, both results showed that the AN–CS–Arg nanoparticles could be internalized in HepG2 cells efficiently. The IC50 of AN–CS–Arg/DOX nanoparticles to HepG2 cancer cells was 10.0 μg/mL. The AN–CS–Arg nanoparticles are potential carriers for anticancer drug delivery.
