In this study, an injectable hydrogel made from Pluronic F127 containing Doxorubicin (DOX), with thermosensitive properties for localized drug delivery, was prepared using the cold method. The effects of hydrogel concentration on gelation temperature and viscosity, as well as the effect of temperature on drug release rate, were investigated. Different concentrations of F127 hydrogel were evaluated for viscosity and other characteristics, and Doxorubicin release was studied at body temperature (37℃) and tumor temperature (43℃). The optimal concentration of F127 hydrogel was selected as 20% w/v, and its rheological and drug release properties were examined. The hydrogel was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and examined through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electrophoretic Light Scattering (FE-SEM/EDS). The drug release assay results indicated successful Doxorubicin release at both temperatures. The release increased by 18-20% with temperature rise, which is significant for malignant tumor treatment. The MTT assay results showed that the drug-containing hydrogel reduced cancer cell viability, with only 32% of the cells surviving after 72 hours in culture.
