    Plant extract mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles and its application to treatment of cancer
    (World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 2024-07-28) Onivefu, Asishana Paul; Adekunle, Adewale Philip; Okebugwu, Joseph Chibuike; Benibo, Paul Gberiye; Aibor, Lucky Ehimen; Raji-Ayoola, Jumoke Ayodele; Latinwo, Opeyemi Olaoluwa; Onyedum, Nwamaka Nneka; Amoo, Ayosunkanmi Damilola; Ukem, David Effiong
    Plant extract-mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles is a promising research area with potential applications in various fields including medicine-cancer research, catalysis, and nanoelectronics. Gold nanoparticles have gained serious attention in recent years as a potential cancer treatment due to their unique optical and physical properties. Plant-mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles is a promising method to produce biocompatible and non-toxic gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). This study focuses on the current research on the plant-mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles and their potential treatment for cancer. It also discussed the latest advancement in nanobot technology. The study will also describe the type of plants used for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, the mechanisms involved in the synthesis, the advantages of using plant-mediated synthesis, and the disadvantages. Additionally, this study will discuss the efficacy of gold nanoparticles as cancer therapeutics and the instrumentation involved in characterizing the gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs), the opportunities for the use of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) in cancer treatment and future possible research in the use of nanotechnology in the fight against cancer. Overall, plant-mediated synthesis of gold nanoparticles holds promise as a safe and effective method for cancer treatment.
