Radioactive gold nanocluster (198-AuNCs) showed inhibitory effects on cancer cells lines.

Cancer is a global epidemic disease responsible for over ten millions death worldwide. The early diagnosis and the precise treatment with reduced adverse reactions are the main goal worldwide. In this study, we produced, characterized and evaluated ( in three different cancer cell lines (protaste, breast and melanoma) a radioactive gold nanocluster (R-AuNC) (Au25(Capt)18).
