Gold Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Applications in Drug Delivery
نویسنده
چکیده
This review is focused essentially on the synthesis and applications of gold nanoparticles in the field of medicine and targeted drug delivery. Nanotechnology has become one of the most interesting and advanced areas of research in this field. Among nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles demonstrate special advantages in this field due to their unique properties, small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio. These particles have been widely used in various biomedical applications and drug delivery systems due to their inert nature, stability, high dispersity, non-cytotoxicity and biocompatibility.

متن کاملExperimental investigations of behaviour of rhamnolipid biosurfactants as a green stabilizer for the biological synthesis of gold nanoparticles
Use of biosurfactants as a green stabilizer for the biological synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is now emerging as nontoxic and environmentally acceptable "green chemistry" procedures. Stability of AuNPs at different pHs is very important because our body has different pHs. This paper addresses this issue. In this work, first P. aeruginosa PTCC 13401 was used to produce rhamnolipid biosu...
