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 <i>N</i>-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-<i>N</i>'-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 (Cu<sup>2+</sup>/H₂O₂) resulting in successful and rapid thioacet ...[more]
