Article Synopsis
  • Biosynthetic gold nanoparticles (bAuNPs) offer a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional production methods by reducing hazardous chemicals, with potential applications in cancer treatment.
  • This study focuses on optimizing conditions for bAuNP production, such as growth phase, temperature, pH, and incubation time, and uses DCIP as a redox indicator.
  • Results show that bAuNPs produced under specific conditions (9 h/OD600 = 1, pH 9.0, 24 h at 58 °C) are smaller and less aggregated, displaying little toxicity to healthy cells but significantly reducing viability and migration in cancer cells.

Unlabelled: In late 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. Currently, it is an ongoing global health threat stressing the need for therapeutic compounds. Linking the virus life cycle and its interaction with cell receptors and internal cellular machinery is key to developing therapies based on the control of infectivity and inflammation.
