Abstract:

A heterobifunctional reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive linker for directed drug assembly onto and delivery from a quantum dot (QD) nanoparticle carrier was synthesized and coupled to doxorubicin using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/sulfo⁻NHS coupling. The doxorubicin conjugate was characterized using ¹H NMR and LC-MS and subsequently reacted under conditions of ROS formation (Cu2+/H₂O₂) resulting in successful and rapid thioacetal oxidative cleavage, which was monitored using ¹H NMR.
