The invention discloses a
drug-loaded hydrogel ball as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
drug-loaded hydrogel ball comprises a
hydrogel matrix and loaded
propranolol hydrochloride, wherein the
hydrogel matrix comprises a cross-linked network formed by cross-linking
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and iron ions, a cross-linked network formed by cross-linking water chestnut
starch and iron ions, and
zinc oxide nanoparticles. The
drug-loaded hydrogel ball has the advantages of being excellent in targeted slow release performance, high in
antibacterial activity, good in
biocompatibility, high in drug loading capacity, good in stability, green, degradable and the like, can be used for long-acting
drug treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and
angina pectoris, and is simple in preparation process, low in production cost and suitable for large-scale industrial production and application.
