摘要

Cationic substitution and morphological design critically govern the drug loading capacity and release kinetics of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (NPs) in targeted therapeutic applications. In this study, mesoporous Ca10−xMgx(PO4)6(OH)2, x = 1, 5 nanorod-like particles were hydrothermally synthesized via cationic substitution and systematically tested for drug delivery applications. The comprehensive structural and morphological characterization through X-ray diffraction analysis revealed monolithic apatitic phase formation with contracted lattice parameters, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed functional group modifications and lattice strain, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy quantified successful cationic substitution efficiency, and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated nanorod morphology (aspect ratio = 2–3) and polycrystalline with distorted atomic structure indexed to the apatitic configuration, collectively established the structure-property relationships. Ultrafine particles with pore diameter of 1–14 nm, a lower Mg2+ concentration (x = 1) exhibited higher pore volume (17%) and surface area (29%) than other particles (x = 5). Consequently, the former particles (x = 1) adsorbed 26% more ibuprofen, and their drug release rate was also faster but sustained. Results analysis suggested potential therapeutic drug delivery applications of Ca10−xMgx(PO4)6(OH)2 NPs, with a lower Mg2+ concentration (x = 1) offering superior drug entrapment and release efficiencies.
