Abstract
The complexation of heptakis(6-deoxy-6-thio)cyclomaltoheptaose to gold nanoparticles prepared by using the Metal Vapour Synthesis (MVS) led to water soluble gold nanoaggregates, thermally stable at 25 °C. The role of gold concentration in the MVS-derived starting solution as well as of the cyclodextrin to gold molar ratio on the size of cyclodextrin-capped gold nanoparticles were investigated. The ability of cyclodextrin bonded to gold nanoparticles to include deoxycytidine was also probed in comparison with that of 1-thio-β-d-glucose sodium salt.
