Gold Nanoparticles: Biogenic Synthesis and Anticancer Application

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles: Applications and Prospects

Abstract

The fastest growing nanotechnology in recent years has attracted increasing interest in the field of nanoparticle research, in particular, synthesis of nanoparticles and their biomedical application. In green chemistry, using plant, microorganisms, and algae for gold nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis has constantly expanding knowledge based on experimentation and a better understanding of its challenges. The biogenic synthesis process of AuNPs is ecofriendly, inexpensive, and time saving. At present, there seems to be focused interest in the applications of AuNPs to the management and treatment of cancer. The exciting experimental knowledge gave evidence that biogenic AuNPs show no toxicity on normal cells and significant cytotoxicity on numerous cancer cells. Here, we highlight and discussed about biogenic synthesis of AuNPs, general characterization methods, and biogenic-AuNP application in cancer treatment.
