ABSTRACT
Drug-eluting microspheres are commonly used as a local drug delivery system for interventional therapy. However, current drug-eluting microspheres have poor X-ray visibility, which can hinder tracking and postembolization evaluation. In the current study, X-ray-visible poly(acrylic acid) drug-eluting beads loaded with iodized oil (IO-PAA-DEBs) ranging from 100-300 µm were prepared and evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Iodized oil served as the radiopaque agent, and X-ray and computed tomography scanning confirmed that the microspheres exhibited excellent X-ray-visible properties. The drug-loading capacities of bleomycin hydrochloride, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin were also investigated. IO-PAA-DEBs exhibited sustained drug release properties, accompanied by a cumulative drug release rate that reached approximately 60% after 120 h. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that IO-PAA-DEBs had good biocompatibility. Collectively, these results demonstrated that IO-PAA-DEBs could facilitate transarterial embolization and sustained drug delivery.
