Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have a biological
property that have attracted significant attention in this decade, especially
in the field of biomedical application with great therapeutic potential.
Additionally, the chitosan molecule appears to be a suitable polymeric complex
used in this field. The aim of the current
study is to explores the
cytotoxicity and the IC50 value of Au-doped chitosan-poly (vinyl alcohol)
(Cs/PVA/Au) nanocomposite that was developed by gamma irradiation with
promising anticancer activity. The
anti-cancer activity of the prepared nanocomposites was demonstrated in human liver cancer cell line HEPG2 and MCF7 breast cancer
cell lines. It has significant effects against both cancer cell line.
Concluding that, the future nanomedicine will be impacted greatly by the
collaboration of biomedical research and developing nanoparticle therapy in the
right directions, which will improve the outcome of cancer patients. It is expected that the
next decade will reveal real potential for metal nanoparticles to cross the
regulatory barrier into clinical use as effective therapeutics.
