Abstract
The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles was achieved by exploiting the antioxidant property of resveratrol (R). The formation of resveratrol stabilized gold nanoparticles (R-GNPs) was confirmed by the observation of the surface plasmon resonance band at 537 nm. The average size of R-GNPs produced in resveratrol medium was ~35nm. The geometrical shape and zeta potential of the gold nanoparticles were spherical and -21.2 mV, respectively. R-GNPs showed excellent stability in saline and other buffers mimicking the physiological pH. The MTT assay using fibroblast cells from explants tissue revealed the biocompatibility of R-GNPs. The cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin loaded R-GNPs against glioma carcinoma cell line (LN 229), showed the suitability of R-GNPs as a carrier for anticancer drugs.Entities:
