Magnetic nanoparticles MNPs were first modified with activated pyridyldithio. Then MNPs modified with activated pyridyldithio MNPs-PDT were conjugated with 2 4-diamino-6-mercaptopyrimidine DMP to form SR-MNPs via stimuli-responsive disulfide linkage. Fourier transform infrared spectra FTIR transmission electron microscopy TEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS were used to characterize MNPs-PDT. The disulfide linkage can be cleaved by reduced glutathione GHS . The concentration of glutathione plays an important role in controlling the cleaved efficiency. The optimum concentration of GHS to release DMP is in the millimolar range. These results had provided an important insight into the design of new MNPs for biomedicine applications such as drug delivery and bio-separation.

Zhou National Center for Nanoscience and Technology Beijing China Introduction Recently stimuli-responsive magnetic nanoparticles SR-MNPs have attracted considerable attention in the field of nanotechnology as candidates for drug delivery and bioseparation 1-4 . Owing to their ability to switch on and switch off when necessary particularly under the action of local stimuli characteristic of the target zone they have been employed as the .
