© 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.The development of delivery systems providing prolonged release of antitumor drugs represents one of the challenges in designing and optimization of novel tools for cancer therapy. The employment of spherical inorganic microparticles, in particular, calcium carbonate vaterite microspheres, as microcarriers appears promising because of their porous, matrix structure, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Here, we summarize the results of the development of the approaches to synthesis of calcium carbonate vaterite microspheres with narrowed size distribution and microencapsulation of low-molecular-weight anticancer drugs, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride into obtained microspheres. Supplementing the reaction mixture with a thickener defines fabrication of homogeneous vaterite microparticles with a spherical shape and an average size of 2 to 3 μm. Synthesised microspheres ensure prolonged release of doxorubicin at physiological pH values and can be used as a delivery system and as a structural component for development of a theranostic platform for tumour treatment and diagnosis.
