Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and anticancer potential of gold
nanorods (GNRs) synthesized using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide capped seed (CTAB) on
L929 fibroblast cells and glioma cells.
Gold nanorods were synthesized through the CTAB method, and their characterization
was conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and
scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The MTT cell viability assay was employed to assess the cytotoxic
and anticancer effects of the synthesized gold nanorods on L929 fibroblast cells and glioma
cells.
Analysis results revealed that the synthesized gold nanorods had an average size of 6.4 nm
and rod-like morphology, with an absorbance peak of 836 nm. The quantity of synthesized GNRs
was calculated to be 3.63 μM. Cytotoxicity analysis showed an IC50 value of 1.29 μM for L929
fibroblast cells and 1.26 μM for C6 glioma cells, indicating significant cytotoxic effects. Treatment
with GNRs induced apoptosis in glioma cells and inhibited their proliferation, suggesting potential
anticancer activity.
The findings suggest that GNRs hold promise as effective agents for cancer therapy.
Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying their anticancer effects
and to explore their potential clinical applications in cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
