Enhancing radiotherapy by lipid nanocapsule-mediated delivery of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles to intracellular membranes.
Amphiphilic gold nanoparticles (amph-NPs), composed of gold cores surrounded by an amphiphilic mixed organic ligand shell, are capable of embedding within and traversing lipid membranes. Here we describe a strategy using crosslink-stabilized lipid nanocapsules (NCs) as carriers to transport such membrane-penetrating particles into tumor cells and promote their transfer to intracellular membrane...
متن کاملIntracellular Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles by the Fungus Penicillium Chrysogenum
In this study, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles by Penicillium chrysogenum, isolated from Ahar copper mine, was investigated. The gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the aqueous gold ions using the culture supernatant of the filamentous fungi. The UV–vis spectrum displayed a characteristic peak at 532 nm that is very specific for gold nanoparticles. The XRD spectrum confirmed ...
متن کاملEnhancing Radiotherapy Using Ultrasound And Microbubbles With Gold Nanoparticles
Purpose: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been shown to enhance the local radiation dose in vitroand in vivo due to its high Z value. Challenges arise when delivering AuNPs into the tumour. Microbubbles in an ultrasound field at therapeutic conditions can increase the permeability of thephospholipid membrane and allow therapeutic agents to cross the bilayer. In this study, the AuNPsp...
متن کاملImprovement of dose delivery with loading of tumor with gold nanoparticles in orthovoltage radiotherapy
Introduction: To enhance the dose to tumor, the use of high atomic number elements has been proposed. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle distribution on dose enhancement in tumor when the tumor is irradiated by typical monoenergetic X-ray beams by considering homogeneous and inhomogeneous distributions of gold nanoparticles (GNPs)...
