Concentrations determined by MTT, according to the results of equal treatment, porous starch load on tumor cell HepG2 artemisinin microspheres and the inhibition effect of SMMC-7721 were higher than that of artemisinin technical, but compared with doxorubicin hydrochloride, has low cytotoxicity, on the side effects of normal cells HL7702 is very low, the results associated with respectively after full iron transferrin inhibition for the growth of tumor cells. The porous starch loaded artemisinin microspheres had obvious inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, the effect was better than the original artemisinin drugs, and the toxic and side effects on normal hepatocytes were very low, it provides an important reference for the application and research of artemisinin in the treatment of cancer. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2019.03.015
