Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are becoming more popular due to their unique physical and chemical properties, having ability to interact with biological systems without causing harm, and their ease of modification. This paper examines the potential of AuNPs to transform cancer theranostic via the integration of diagnostics and treatment. We explore the use of AuNPs in cancer imaging, specifically examining their ability to enhance contrast in several imaging techniques, enabling the early and accurate detection of tumors. In addition, we discuss the use of AuNP-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT), where AuNPs convert light into heat to selectively destroy cancer cells. In addition, we are exploring the capacity of AuNPs to serve as carriers for drug delivery, enabling the specific delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to tumor sites while reducing the overall negative effects on the body. One of the key advantages of AuNPs emphasized in this review is their ability to integrate therapeutic and imaging characteristics. We analyze the current challenges and propose strategies to improve the delivery and design of AuNPs for more effective cancer theranostic. AuNPs show great potential for personalized and effective cancer treatment since they may connect diagnosis and therapy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":581,"journal":{"name":"Gold Bulletin","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poly (N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) is a polymer which is potent for reducing Au<sup>3+</sup> to Au(0) with diverse dispersibility in organic solvents. With respect to these advantages, PDMAEMA was employed as both a reducing and stabilizing agent for the direct synthesis of AuNPs in water and some protic and aprotic organic solvents in this study. Notably, there was no need for any extra reducing agent or phase transfer material here. The kinetic of AuNPs formation and the effect of medium type on the size, shape, and dispersibility of AuNPs were studied by using TEM and UV–Vis results. Comprehensive analyses revealed that binding of PDMAEMA onto the gold precursor, established interactions, and conformation of PDMAEMA chains with consequent coverage of AuNPs surface are influential on the nucleation and growth rates, size, shape, dispersibility, and assembly of nanoparticles.

Recent advancements in nanomedicine have introduced porphyrin-loaded gold (Au) functionalized polymeric nanodots (P-APNDs) as a promising therapeutic approach for AKI. The formation of P-APNDs was confirmed by analyzing physiochemical parameters such as FTIR, XRD, and TEM which revealed their spherical shape with a smaller size of 10 nm. The P-APND exhibits significant efficacy in alleviating AKI due to its preferential renal accumulation and potent antioxidant capacity. P-APND exhibited exceptional antioxidant properties in effectively scavenging various toxic free radicals, thereby providing efficient cellular protection against oxidative stresses in vitro at HEK 293 cell lines and found that P-APND was effective in treating cisplatin (Cs) induced cell lines. The in vivo analysis was carried out in a Cs-induced mice model. The accumulation of the drug in the kidney for a prolonged time shows the efficiency of the P-APND. The decreased serum creatinine levels and blood urea nitrogen confirm the improvement of kidney injury after the treatment with P-APND.

Statistical analyses using Design Expert 13 revealed significant quadratic regression equations for both gold grade and recovery, with high coefficients of determination. The empirical models demonstrated the intricate relationships between the concentrator parameters and process responses. Interpretation of the equations revealed that increasing the solid concentration positively influenced gold grade and recovery, while higher G force and fluidization water flow rate negatively impacted these parameters. Moreover, synergistic effects were observed between certain parameter pairs, indicating the complex interplay of factors influencing gold concentration and extraction efficiency.
