(1) Effect of different pH values: acetic acid-sodium acetate (0.1M, pH 7.4, pH 5.2) and C were added to a buffer solution of an acetic acid-sodium acetate system, 3',5,5' -Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as an indicator for detecting hydroxyl radicals (· OH)8H4Fe2O6S2PSMA-PEG NPs (50. mu.M, calculated as Fe concentration), TMB solution (0.3mM), H2O2A solution (0.1mM) having a total volume of 3mL was mixedAfter mixing, the mixture was incubated in a water bath at 37 ℃ for 50min, and the absorbance of the mixed solution was measured as shown in FIG. 6.
The tumor microenvironment is slightly acidic (pH 5.2) and the normal tissue is neutral (pH 7.4). As can be seen from fig. 6, C is observed at pH 5.28H4Fe2O6S2the-PSMA-PEG NPs can react with hydrogen peroxide to form OH, but cannot form OH at pH 7.4, indicating that C of the present invention8H4Fe2O6S2The PSMA-PEG NPs can generate OH under the stimulation of a tumor microenvironment, so that the tumor cells are damaged, and the reaction can not occur in normal cells, so that the aim of reducing the toxic and side effects of the nano material on the normal tissues is fulfilled.

(3) Evaluation of the ability of different materials to generate OH
The experimental groups were as follows:
1)MNPs:C8H4Fe2O6S2-PSMA-PEG NPs (50 μ M, calculated as Fe concentration);
2)H2O2(0.1mM);
3)TMB(0.3mM);
4)MNPs(C8H4Fe2O6S2PSMA-PEG NPs, 50. mu.M, in Fe concentration) + H2O2(0.1mM);
5)MNPs(C8H4Fe2O6S2-PSMA-PEG NPs, 50 μ M, calculated as Fe concentration) + TMB (0.3 mM);
6)H2O2(0.1mM)+TMB(0.3mM);
7)MNPs(C8H4Fe2O6S2PSMA-PEG NPs, 50. mu.M, in Fe concentration) + TMB (0.3mM) + H2O2(0.1mM)。
