Chemical Reduction Method of Penicillin G Derived Gold Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Applications

Abstract:

Nanotechnology has become one of the most interesting and advanced areas of research in this field. The main targets are to generate uniform gold nanoparticles in aqueous solutions via chemical reduction methods, which could generate final products in good quality. Standard antibiotic Penicillin G used to reduce the gold salt to gold nanoparticles. These particles have been widely used in various biomedical applications and drug delivery systems due to their inert nature, stability, high disparity, non-cytotoxicity and biocompatibility. Such the present investigation aims an efficient and convenient production routes to generate spherical and purified gold nanoparticles. These gold nanoparticles were characterized by different spectral data analysis. The antimicrobial activities of gold nanoparticles were confirmed by disc diffusion method against some human pathogens.
