Mastering new and efficient ways to obtain successful drug delivery systems (DDS) with controlled release became a paramount quest in the scientific community. Increase of malignant bone tumors and the necessity to optimize an approach of localized drug delivery require research to be even more intensified. Octacalcium phosphate (OCP), with a number of advantages over current counterparts is extensively used in bone engineering. The aim of the present research was to synthesize bioactive and biocompatible doxorubicin (DOX) containing OCP particles. DOX-OCP was successfully obtained in situ in an exhaustive range of added drug (1–20 wt%, theoretical loading). Based on XRD, above 10 wt% of DOX, OCP formation was inhibited and the obtained product was low crystalline α-TCP. In-vitro drug release was performed in pH 7.4 and 6.0. In both pH environments DOX had a continuous release over six weeks. However, the initial drug burst for pH 7.4, in the first 24 h, ranged from 15.9 ± 1.3 % to 33.5 ± 12 % and for pH 6.0 23.7 ± 1.5 % to 36.2 ± 12 %.The DOX-OCP exhibited an inhibitory effect on viability of osteosarcoma cell lines MG63, U2OS and HOS. In contrast, MC3T3-E1 cells (IC50 > 0.062 μM) displayed increased viability and proliferation from 3rd to 7th day. Testing of the DDS on ferroptotic markers (CHAC1, ACSL4 and PTGS2) showed that OCP-DOX does not induce ferroptotic cell death. Moreover, the evaluation of protein levels of cleaved PARP, by western blotting analysis, corroborated that apoptosis is the main pathway of programmed cell death in osteosarcoma cells induced by DOX-OCP.
