Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Chiral Nanoparticles Functionalized by a Chiral Drug.

ABSTRACT: Inorganic chiral nanoparticles are attracting more and more attention due to their peculiar optical properties and potential biological applications, such as bioimaging, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Among inorganic chiral nanoparticles, gold chiral nanostructures were demonstrated to be very interesting in this context, with good physical chemical stability and also the possibility to decorate the surface, improving biomedical application as the interaction with the bio-systems. Gold (Au) nanostructures were synthesized according to a seed-mediated procedure which envisages the use of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the capping agent and L- and D-cysteine to promote chirality. Au nanostructures have been demonstrated to have opposite circular dichroism signals depending on the a
