Facile and cost-effective synthesis and characterization of hormone stabilized biocompatible gold nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

ABSTRACT: Metal nanoparticles possess unique characteristic features suitable for biomedical and other biological applications such as antimicrobial activity to drug delivery. Non-toxic, biocompatible nanoparticles are essential for these applications. Many of previously described methods applied heat or boiling and toxic chemicals like SDS, beta mercaptoethanol, EDTA, sodium citrate for nanoparticles synthesis. The present research emphasizes the synthesis of the gold nanoparticles using a non-toxic reducing and stabilizing agent sodium thyroxine through a facile, cost effective, and eco-friendly method. The formation of gold nanoparticles was confirmed in the UV-visible spectrophotometer with a SPR peak at 522 nm. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were spherical shape and the particles size were
