Abstract: Doxorubicin hydrochloride(DOX)is an anti-tumor antibiotic that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acid in cancer cells. DOX has a broad anti-tumor spectrum and has a killing effect on a variety of tumor cells. In this paper, Fe3O4 nanoparticles(MNPs)were prepared by co-precipitation synthesis method, while Fe3O4@SiO2 and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2 nanoparticles were prepared by optimizing experimental conditions. And then single and double carboxyl PEG were applied to modify Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2 samples. Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–PEG and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–PEG–COOH samples could be obtained. PEG modified products were loaded with different quality of DOX. Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–PEG·DOX and Fe3O4@SiO2– NH2–PEG–COOH·DOX samples could be obtained. After detection by a fluorescence spectrophotometer, a conclusion was drawn. The results showed that PEG–modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles(MNPs)loaded with different masses of DOX could increase the magnetic targeting properties of DOX, at the same time, biocompatibility could also be enhanced via the introduction of PEG.
