Article Synopsis
- * Researchers extracted three known metabolites and utilized NMR to identify their structures, then loaded these compounds onto gold nanoparticles (sAuNPs) made from brown seaweed extract to improve their targeting capability.
- * The resulting compound-AuNP conjugates demonstrated over 90% effectiveness in penetrating cancer cells (specifically MCF-7), suggesting that this method may address the challenges faced in developing new anticancer drugs.
The use of natural products as chemotherapeutic agents is well established; however, many of these are associated with undesirable side effects, including high toxicity and instability. Furthermore, the development of drug resistant cancers makes the search for new anticancer lead compounds a priority. In this study, the extraction of an sp.
