Abstract

A novel hydrophobic ferrocene polymer ( P-Fc) was synthesized successfully. Taken the advantage of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin ( HP-β-CD ) with hydrophilic outside and hydrophobic inside, P-Fc was successfully enveloped in the cavity of HP-β-CD to form macromolecular vesicle by a self-assembly process. The structure and morphology of the macromolecular vesicle was characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR, SEM and CV. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was used as target drugs and loaded in the vesicles successfully. After added the oxidant, ferrocene was oxidized to dicyclopentadienyl iron, which destroyed the vesicles successfully. The rapid directional release of the drugs was realized. The maximum loading values of R6G and DOX were 6. 89 and 39. 06 μg/mg, respectively. The release rates were 73. 7%and 88. 2%, respectively. It would increase the utilization level of the drugs and enhance their efficiency.
