When the oxidizers were silver- and gold salts the obtained material contained from 4 to 9 at.% of metal.
In live cells treated with gold salts, proteins bearing a small metal-binding tag will form 1-nm gold nanoclusters, readily detectable in electron micrographs.
After reduction of gold salts with corresponding reducing agents in the presence of LPa, Au-LPa nanomaterials were fully characterized by UV visible, FT-IR, AFM, and TEM.
The common approach for synthesizing AuNPs employs sodium citrate and/or sodium borohydride as reducing agents to convert gold salts into AuNPs.
Results indicated that reduction rate of gold salts using the PNIPAm/PEI microgels as the reductant was two orders of magnitude faster than that of the native PEI.
The bioreduction of silver and gold salts (1 mM) by Angelicae Pubescentis Radix extract (50%, v/v) at 80 °C was assessed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer in a time-dependent manner as observed in Fig. 1a, b.
Prior to the advent of biologic therapies, commonly used pharmacological treatments included non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate, injectable gold salts, sulfasalazine and leflunomide [7].
In the 19th century, the belief that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was caused by mycobacteria led to treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with gold salts used for the treatment of infectious diseases.
Gold colloid or gold salts can exert anti-inflammation effect by downregulating the expression of interleukin-1β, prostaglandin E2, and cyclooxygenase-2 [12–15], which plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of OA [16 21].
