AbstractEdible mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) extract was used to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through hydrothermal process (at a pressure of 15 psi and a temperature of 121°C for 15 min). Response surface methodology was applied to monitor the influence of the synthesis parameters, namely: the mushroom extract concentration (1–9 gr DP/100 ml distilled water) and the amount of HAuCL4·3H2O solution (8–12 ml) on the particle size and concentration of fabricated AuNPs. The obtained results demonstrated that while the main and quadratic terms of the synthesis parameters had significant (p<0.05) effects on the response variables, their interactions had insignificant effect on them. The results indicated that spherical synthesized AuNPs using 10 ml of HAuCl4·3H2O solution (1 mm) and 1 ml of mushroom extract with concentration of 5 gr DP/100 ml had mean particle size (25 nm) and maximum concentration (534 ppm) and stability (zeta potential of –45.8 mV). The results revealed that mushroom extract could act as both reducing and stabilizing agents due to its bioactive compounds. Fourier-transform infrared analysis showed that polyols and carbonyl groups in mushroom extract had strong effects on formation of stable AuNPs. The fabricated AuNPs exhibited high antifungal activity againstAspergillus flavusas compared to theAspergillus terreus.

AbstractA continuous manufacturing platform was developed for the synthesis of aqueous colloidal 10–20 nm gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in a flow reactor using chloroauric acid, sodium citrate and citric acid at 95 oC and 2.3 bar(a) pressure. The use of a two-phase flow system – using heptane as the continuous phase – prevented fouling on the reactor walls, while improving the residence time distribution. Continuous syntheses for up to 2 h demonstrated its potential application for continuous manufacturing, while live quality control was established using online UV-Vis photospectrometry that monitored the particle size and process yield. The synthesis was stable and reproducible over time for gold precursor concentration above 0.23 mM (after mixing), resulting in average particle size between 12 and 15 nm. A hydrophobic membrane separator provided successful separation of the aqueous and organic phases and collection of colloidal Au NPs in flow. Process yield increased at higher inlet flow rates (from 70 % to almost 100 %), due to lower residence time of the colloidal solution in the separator resulting in less fouling in the PTFE membrane. This study addresses the challenges for the translation of the synthesis from batch to flow and provides tools for the development of a continuous manufacturing platform for gold nanoparticles.Graphical abstract

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA) isolated from edible mushroom has a potent anti-proliferative effect on malignant colon cells with considerable therapeutic potential as an anti-neoplastic agent. Since previous studies on the structural requirement for binding were limited to molecular or submolecular levels of Galβ1-3GalNAc (T; Thomsen–Friedenreich disaccharide glycotope; where Gal represents d-galactopyranose and GalNAc represents 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-galactopyranose) and its derivatives, the binding properties of ABA were further investigated using our collection of glycans by enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay and lectin–glycan inhibition assay. The results indicate that polyvalent Galβ1-related glycotopes, GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr (Tn), and their cryptoforms, are the most potent factor for ABA binding. They were up to 5.5×105 and 4.7×106 times more active than monomeric T and GalNAc respectively. The affinity of ABA for ligands can be ranked as: multivalent Tα (Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-), Tn and I/II (Galβ1-3GlcNac/Galβ1-4GlcNAc, where GlcNAc represents 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose)>>>>monomeric Tα and Tn>I>>GalNAc>>>II, L (Galβ1-4Glc, where Glc represents d-glucopyranose) and Gal (inactive). These specific binding features of ABA establish the importance of affinity enhancement by high-density polyvalent (versus multiantennary I/II) glycotopes and facilitate our understanding of the lectin receptor recognition events relevant to its biological activities.

Biosynthesized or biogenic metallic nanoparticles, particularly silver and gold nanoparticles (AgNPs and AuNPs, respectively), have been increasingly used because of their advantages, including high stability and loading capacity; moreover, these nanoparticles are synthesized using a green and cost-effective method. Previous studies have investigated reducing and/or stabilizing agents from various biological sources, including plants, microorganisms, and marine-derived products, using either a one-pot or a multistep process at different conditions. In addition, extensive studies have been performed to determine the biological or pharmacological effects of these nanoparticles, such as antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. In the recent years, chitosan, a natural cationic polysaccharide, has been increasingly investigated as a reducing and/or stabilizing agent in the synthesis of biogenic metallic nanoparticles with potential applications in nanomedicine. Here, we have reviewed the mechanism of biosynthesis and potential applications of AgNPs and AuNPs and their chitosan-mediated nanocomposites in nanomedicine.

We synthesized protein-coated gold nanoparticles using green and chemical reduction routes for cellular uptake study. In the current work, we coated gold-aryl nanoparticles of the type AuNPs-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>-4-COOH with BSA, collagen, zein and lysozyme proteins. Both routes were carried out without phase-transfer catalysts or extraneous stabilizing agents. High crystallinity of the AuNPs synthesized by the green route can be seen in the transmission electron microscopy images. <a>Osteosarcoma cancer cells are malignant bone tumors with abnormal cellular functions. Studies using MG-63 cells will provide mechanistic suggestions on the details of the amplification in tumors. </a>We studied the cellular uptake of the bioconjugates by MG-63 osteosarcoma cells using laser confocal fluorescence microscopy (LCFM) and flow cytometry. In the LCFM study, BSA-AuNPs was uptaken most efficiently of all protein-coated gold nanoparticles synthesized by the green route. Zein and lysozyme coated nanoparticles, though small sizes, prepared by the green method were not efficiently uptaken by MG-63. The two nanoparticles are negatively charged and zein is also a hydrophobic coat. The difference in hydrophobicity and charge might have affected the internalization. All of those coated nanoparticles that were efficiently uptaken can potentially be used as diagnostic and therapeutic agents for osteosarcoma.
