In this work, pirarubicin loaded Fe3O4@ZnO coreshell nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized. They can magnetically position in a tubular structure at will and realized on-demand pirarubicin release and re-absorption under UV radiation and darkness. As a result, they can strongly inhibit the human urethral squamous carcinoma cells during infusion chemotherapy and give nearly no damage to normal cells after infusion chemotherapy. Overall, such nanoparticles are highly possible to be a new approach for urethral carcinoma infusion chemotherapy, with satisfactory efficacy and slight side effects.", }
