Thermo- and pH-responsive hydrogel-coated gold nanoparticles prepared from rationally designed surface-confined initiators
Gold nanoparticles (*40 nm in diameter) were encapsulated by a hydrogel overlayer generated by the free radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid (NIPAM-co-AA), which was promoted by a specifically designed radical initiator covalently anchored to the surface of the gold core. The size and morphology of the shell/core nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron m...
متن کاملCurcumin coated gold nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, cytotoxicity, antioxidant activity and its comparison with citrate coated gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): Biological applications of gold nanoparticles have limitations because of the toxic chemicals used in their synthesis. Curcumin can be used as reducing as well as capping agent in synthesis of GNPs to eliminate the cytotoxicity. Conjugation of curcumin to gold also helps in increasing its solubility and bioavailability. Materials and Methods: Here we report synthesis of gold nanop...
متن کاملThermo-Responsive Hydrogel-Coated Gold Nanoshells for In Vivo Drug Delivery
This paper describes the preparation and characterization of a new type of composite nanoparticle, where the structure consists of a nontoxic hydrogel polymer network that encapsulates a gold shell/silica core. These composite nanoparticles are being developed as photothermally responsive drug-delivery vehicles that undergo structural changes slightly above physiological temperature. A unique p...
متن کاملHeparin-coated gold nanoparticles for liver-specific CT imaging.
Since computed tomography (CT) was developed and its resolution, sensitivity, and scan speed rapidly improved, the use of CT in the diagnosis of hepatic disease has been evaluated by various investigators. In particular, liver-specific X-ray CT imaging has attracted much attention in cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment because liver metastases are a common occurrence in the history of a patie...
متن کاملDNA Self-Assembly of Targeted Near-Infrared-Responsive Gold Nanoparticles for Cancer Thermo-Chemotherapy**
The development of external stimulus-responsive nanoparticle (NP) systems for cancer therapy has received considerable attention in recent years, as these systems can differentially increase drug accumulation at target cancer cells/tissues, drastically decrease systemic toxicity, and potentially avoid underor over-dosing. External stimuli that have been exploited for such applications include l...
