Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a suitable platform for development of efficient delivery systems. AuNPs can be easily synthesized, functionalized, and are biocompatible. The tunability of the AuNP monolayer allows for complete control of surface properties for targeting and stability/release using these nanocarriers. This review will discuss several delivery strategies utilizing AuNPs.
Graphical abstractGold nanoparticles provide effective platforms for drug delivery via multiple controlled release strategies due to their stability, tunable monolayers, functional flexibility, and low toxicity.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload high-quality image (278 K)Download as PowerPoint slide
