Azide-terminated alkyl thiolate monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (1-C12MPN) with a core size of 1.8 ± 0.2 nm were prepared. 1-C12MPN was modified in high yields via an uncatalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (click-type reaction) with a variety of terminal acyl–alkynes under hyperbaric conditions at 11 000 atm. The resulting 1,2,3-triazole modified MPNs (2-C12MPN) were characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and were verified by comparison of the spectra to those obtained for the products of the model reactions of 1-azidododecane with the same alkynes. TEM analysis showed that the high-pressure conditions did not affect the size of the gold core, suggesting that the only effect is to facilitate the chemical reaction on the particles.

This chapter deals with the applications of gold nanoparticle in cancer and various strategies to target cancer cells by using gold nanoparticles. They are in great demand for biomedical applications such as DNA/Protein detection, bimolecular regulators, cell imaging and cancer cell diagnostics. The ability to tune the surface of the particle provides access to cell –specific targeting and controlled drug release. Depending on their size, shape, degree of aggregation, and local environment, gold nanoparticles can appear red, blue, or other colors. The novel drug delivery systems offer the opportunity to improve poor solubility, limited stability, bio distribution, and pharmacokinetics of drug as well as offering the potential ability to target specific tissues and cell types. The multifunctional gold nanoparticles are attractive organic –inorganic hybrid material composed of an inorganic metallic gold core surrounded by an organic or bimolecular monolayer they provide desirable attributes for the creation of drug delivery in cancer.

Gold nanoparticles carrying fluorinated ligands in their monolayer are, by themselves, contrast agents for 19F magnetic resonance imaging displaying high sensitivity because of the high density of fluorine nuclei achievable by grafting suitable ligands on the gold core surface. Functionalization of these nanoparticles with Gd(III) chelates allows adding a further functional activity to these systems, developing materials also acting as contrast agents for proton magnetic resonance imaging. These dual mode contrast agents may allow capitalizing on the benefits of 1H and 19F magnetic resonance imaging in a single diagnostic session. In this work, we describe a proof of principle of this approach by studying these nanoparticles in a high field preclinical scanner. The Gd(III) centers within the nanoparticles monolayer shorten considerably the 19F T1 of the ligands but, nevertheless, these systems display strong and sharp NMR signals which allow recording good quality 19F MRI phantom images at nanoparticle concentration of 20 mg/mL after proper adjustment of the imaging sequence. The Gd(III) centers also influence the T1 relaxation time of the water protons and high quality 1H MRI images could be obtained. Gold nanoparticles protected by hydrogenated ligands and decorated with Gd(III) chelates are reported for comparison as 1H MRI contrast agents.

The great affinity of gold surface for numerous electron-donating groups has largely contributed to the rapid development of functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). In the last years, a new subclass of nanocomposite has emerged, based on the association of inorganic molecular entities (IME) with Au-NPs. This highly extended and diversified subclass was promoted by the synergy between the intrinsic properties of the shell and the gold core. This review—divided into four main parts—focuses on an introductory section of the basic notions related to the stabilization of gold nanoparticles and defines in a second part the key role played by the functionalizing agent. Then, we present a wide range of inorganic molecular entities used to prepare these nanocomposites (NCs). In particular, we focus on four different types of inorganic systems, their topologies, and their current applications. Finally, the most recent applications are described before an overview of this new emerging field of research.

Gold core-induced polypyrrole nanohybrids (Au–PPyNHs) were successfully synthesized via in situ chemical oxidation polymerization of pyrrole molecules, and their structure was directly confirmed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were assembled onto the as-prepared Au–PPyNHs by electrostatic interaction to fabricate the nanohybrids of Au–PPyNH–Au. The created Au–PPyNH–Au nanohybrids was immobilized onto glassy carbon electrode and applied to construct dopamine (DA) sensor. We found that the fabricated sensor with Au–PPyNH–Au nanohybrids is highly specific probe for sensing DA. The Au–PPyNH–Au based DA sensor has a linear detection range from 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M to 0.321 mM and a detection limit of 0.32[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M.
