Current state and prospects of the phytosynthesized colloidal gold nanoparticles and their applications in cancer theranostics

Abstract: The design, development, and biomedical applications of phytochemical-based green synthesis of biocompatible colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are becoming an emerging field due to several advantages (safer, eco-friendly, simple, fast, energy efficient, low-cost, and less toxic) over conventional chemical synthetic procedures. Biosynthesized colloidal gold nanoparticles are remarkably attractive in several biomedical applications including cancer theranostics due to small size, unusual physico-chemical prop… Show more

“…The green nanotechnology approaches have replaced many toxic synthesis methods. Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) utilizing plant extract is a fascinating area in the field of nanotechnology, which is safe, simple, low cost, energy efficient and ecofriendly as compared with physicochemical routes . The concept of formation of green NPs was first presented by Raveendran et al ., who used β ‐ d ‐glucose, which served as a strong reducing and stabilizing agent for the silver NPs.…”

“…The concept of formation of green NPs was first presented by Raveendran et al ., who used β ‐ d ‐glucose, which served as a strong reducing and stabilizing agent for the silver NPs. Green nanochemistry focuses on the synthesis of NPs with different sizes, shapes, chemical composition, magnetic, electrical and optical properties to establish a new hope for the medical field . The synthesis of magnetic (M)NPs has gained significant momentum due to their remarkable properties (high dispersion, small size, high surface to volume ratio) compared with those of their macroscopic counterparts, and they have incredible applications in nanomedicine, biotechnology, optics, electronics and catalysis, etc …”

“…Gold nanoparticles deposited on materials with developed surface (TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 ) exhibit a high catalytic activity in various chemical processes and are used as active component in the matrix of catalytic systems for the photocatalytic production of hydrogen from ethanol, reactions of propylene epoxidation, conversion of ethanol to formaldehyde, hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, oxidation of hydrocarbon and CO at low temperatures [28][29][30][31]. In addition, recently, gold-based nanostructured materials have been the object of intense research in medicine [32]. Gold nanoparticles with tunable plasmon resonance are widely used in modern biotechnology for the photothermolysis of cancer cells [33] as well as in combination with carbon nanomaterial [34] and organic and oxide semiconductors as chemical sensors and biosensors [35][36][37][38][39].…”
