Interest in metal nanoparticles synthesised using green methods is growing steadily. Metal nanoparticles can be synthesised inexpensively and effortlessly using extracts derived from different plants and their diverse components. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were rapidly synthesised from Broccoli ( L.) agricultural waste using a novel, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method in this work. Analysed data from various techniques including UV-vi, TEM, FESEM, XRD, AFM, FTIR, TGA-DT, EDX, and DLS to assess the properties of the synthesised Au NPs. The characterisation data revealed that the Au NPs had a peak absorbance at 553.10 nm, a surface charge of -19.7 mV, an average hydrodynamic size of 78.75 nm, a monodisperse spherical shape, and were found to be stable. The inhibitory effects of Au NPs with these properties on hospital pathogens and human cancer cells were evaluated by microdilution, disk diffusion and MTT techniquesAs a result of the findings, it was determined that Au NPs have antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer potential as pharmacological agents under conditions.

Institute of Functional Nano and Soft Materials (FUNSOM), Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Carbon-Based Functional Materials and Devices, Soochow University, Suzhou, 215123, Jiangsu, China.

A new methodology is presented for the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of irinotecan (CPT-11), a chemotherapeutic agent utilized in the treatment of cancer, along with its metabolically active derivative, SN-38, via laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS). The method includes the detection of camptothecin (CPT), which can be utilized as an internal standard for the quantitative assessment of both CPT-11 and SN-38 in mouse serum. The approach utilizes a plasmonic two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus nanosheet (BPN)-gold nanomatrix (BP@Au) in LDI MS.

This study reports a simple and rapid aptamer-based sensor platform designed for the sensitive and selective detection of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Under standard conditions, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) remain dispersed and exhibit a characteristic peak at 520 nm. However, the addition of sodium chloride (NaCl) destabilizes the charge of the solution, leading to the aggregation of AuNPs.
