Gold nanoparticles are expected to improve the efficacy of cancer drugs August 10, 2017 Source: According to Xinhua As a precious metal, gold is widely used in the financial and jewellery industries. The latest joint research in the UK and Spain said on the 7th that gold nanoparticles can be applied to disease treatment through technical means to improve the efficacy of cancer drugs and reduce side effects. In the experiment, the researchers wrapped gold nanoparticles in a special micro-chemical device, and then implanted it into the zebrafish brain, and targeted catalyzed a chemical reaction, which proved that this ability can be applied to animals and It is controllable. In addition, the researchers also observed in the test dish that gold nanoparticles can activate anticancer drugs applied to lung cancer cells and improve the efficacy of drugs. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom and the University of Zaragoza in Spain said that gold was chosen because gold is relatively safe and stable and has the ability to accelerate or catalyze chemical reactions. In the future, if the technology is mature, this device containing gold nanoparticles can be used to assist the chemotherapy drugs to act more accurately on cancer cells, avoid harming healthy tissues in the body, and reduce side effects of drugs. The results were published in Applied Chemistry. The research team plans to conduct an in-depth study to see if the application of this technology is safe for the human body, and whether there are long-term or short-term side effects.
