Thermo-/pH-sensitive nanocomposites based on mesoporous silicate MCM-41 (MSNCs) derived from rice husk ash were synthesized and characterized. MSNCs were coated with thermo-/pH-sensitive Pluronic® F127 and gelatin to form MSNCsgp nanocomposites, serving as carriers for controlled release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox). The in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy of MSNCs@gp-Dox against liver cancer was evaluated. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the silica nature of MSNCs@gp by detecting the Si-O-Si group. Under acidic microenvironments (pH 5.4) and 42 °C, MSNCs@gp-Dox exhibited significantly higher Dox release (47.33 %) compared to physiological conditions. Thermo-/pH-sensitive drug release (47.33 %) was observed in simulated tumor environments. The Makoid-Banakar model provided the best fit at pH 7.4 and 37 °C with a mean squared error of 0.4352, an Akaike Information Criterion of 15.00, and a regression coefficient of 0.9972. Cytotoxicity tests have demonstrated no significant toxicity in HepG2 cells treated with various concentrations of MSNCs@gp, while MSNCs@gp-Dox induced considerable cell apoptosis. In vivo studies in nude mice revealed effective suppression of liver cancer growth by MSNCs@gp-Dox, indicating high pharmaceutical efficacy. The investigated MSNCs@gp-based drug delivery system shows promise for liver cancer therapy, offering enhanced treatment efficiency with minimal side effects.
