AbstractGold nanoparticles (GNPs) are intended to be used in nanomedicine. Due to nanotechnology innovation GNPs of variable sizes and in different shapes including rods, spheres, cubes, etc., can easily be produced. The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the cyto-and genotoxicity inducible by different shaped GNPs on normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes.Four different shapes of GNPs including big rod GNPs (BR-GNPs, 50 nm), small rod GNPs (SR-GNPs, 30 nm), sphere GNPs (S-GNPs, 15 nm) and semi-cube GNPs (SC-GNPs, 15 nm) were studied. Cultured human blood lymphocytes were treated with different concentrations of these GNPs for 24 h in vitro. Cytotoxicity was evaluated based on the mitotic index (MI), while genotoxicity was studied by an interphase-fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) assay. The following genes were studied in I-FISH:The lowest concentration of BR-GNPs neither had an effect mitotic activity nor enhanced gain or loss of examined gene signals in a significant manner with I-FSH. Other concentrations of BR-GNPs, SR-GNPs, S-GNPs and SC-GNPs with all concentrations inhibited the mitotic activity of the cells and reduced the cell proliferation highly significantly. The different types of GNPs initiated the duplication ofGNPs at high concentration can reduce the cell proliferation and induce DNA damage. Low concentration of rod-shaped GNPs at 50 nm was safe on human lymphocytes. Further research studies are required to optimize the concentration, shape and size of GNPs before using them in nanomedicine.

<p>We demonstrate a fundamentally unique identification strategy to impart selectivity to a traditionally and inherently nonselective carboxylate-functionalized gold-nanoparticles ([-] AuNPs), without the aid of any analyte specific ligands. The common practice is to use the ability of divalent ions to trigger the aggregation process in a kinetically trapped dispersed solution of [-] AuNPs. Aggregation of NPs being a thermodynamically favourable process will result in a uniform and nonselective turn-off response from most of the strongly binding divalent ions. Our approach is to use the abilities of various divalent ions to break a thermodynamically stable inter-nanoparticle precipitates containing [+] and [-] AuNPs (<i>nanoionic precipitates</i>), as the means of identification. Importantly both [+] and [-] AuNPs, independently, were ‘blind’ in terms of selectivity towards divalent ions. Remarkably, a hybrid-system composed of such nonselective nanoparticles was able to discriminate between the hard-to-distinguish pair of Pb<sup>2+</sup> and Cd<sup>2+</sup> ions. The rationale is that only the strongest of strongly binding ions will be able to break the interactions between the NP precipitates (thermodynamically stable state) and re-disperse them back in solution (kinetically trapped state). This is in stark contrast with the conventional idea of forming an interaction between NPs and divalent ions, with the help of analyte-specific ligands.</p>

In this work, biocompatible gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the chloroauric acid with ascorbic acid as a reducing agent. Colloidal gold nanoparticles were stabilized through nontoxic acacia gum sodium hydroxide .Synthesizing gold nano particle is confirmed by the change in color of chloroauric acid from yellow to ruby red and brown color depending on the stabilizers. The gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Where the peak of the absorbance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was observed between the wave length 526 and 535 nm. The results of zeta potential were found in rang (-19, -40 mv), AFM and TEM images show two different shapes, hexagonal and spherical and the size of gold nanoparticles between 21.5nm and  29nm.
