Process Optimization for the Bioinspired Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using , Its Characterization, and Assessment of Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy.

The promising therapeutic implications of nanoparticles have spurred their development for biomedical applications. An eco-friendly methodology synthesizes gold nanoparticles using , an edible mushroom (-Au-NPs), using a quality-by-design approach (central composite design). UV-visible spectroscopy analysis revealed an absorption peak at 540-550 nm, thus confirming the synthesis of gold nanoparticles.
