A Review: Gold nanoparticles in biomedical anti-cancer applications

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPS) are highly promising organisms for solving a wide range of medical problems due to their special properties and low toxicity. The production of gold nanoparticles by biological method (green synthesis) is environmentally friendly and allows to reduce the amount of harmful chemicals and toxic products. This review is devoted to anticancer biomedical gold nanoparticle applications, and a variety of cancer types are mentioned, including lung, breast, cervical, liver, colorectal, and drug delivery mechanism targeting cancer cells. Other applications of these nanoparticles in vaccines, enzyme inhibition, vaccines, dentistry, and their work as metal sensors and others were also discussed.
