标题: A quick method for the in vitro synthesis of gold nanoparticles | |
摘要:
Metallic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, copper and zinc are being used as catalysts,
chemical and biological sensors in several biomedical applications. In medicine, they are
likely to be applied as antimicrobial, antifungal and as drug delivery agents. Metallic
nanoparticles are the most promising because of their high surface to volume ratio.
Several methods like physical and chemicals are available for the synthesis of metallic
nanoparticles but they are very hazardous, toxic, costly vacuum system, environment
containment and time taking process. Thus the green synthesis bioprocess is much
needed and hence has been finding widespread interest. The biosynthesis of metallic
nanoparticles from corresponding metals carries out several routes like plant extracts,
enzymes and using micro organisms. The potential of plants to synthesis nanoparticles
have featured excitingly very large toward the increased of natural nano-factories. This
remarkable development has brought an insight among researchers for advancement of
molecules which are precise and efficient by using refined and potentially remarkable
strategies.
Various plants have been already reported for nanoparticles synthesis such as
Cinnamomum camphora, Medicago sativa, Pelargonium graveolens, Avena sativa,
Azadirachta indica, Tamarindus indica, Emblica officinalis, Aloe vera, Coriandrum sativum,
Carica papaya, Parthenium hysterophorus, Acanthella elongata, Sesuvium
portulacastrum, Chrysanthemum indicum L, Melia azedarach L, Saraca indica,
Caesalpinia coriaria.
To the best of our knowledge, we have reported first time fastest and rapid method for the
synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within 20 sec.

Lanka and Post Graduate Diploma in Educational
Administration from SCDL, Symbiosis University, Pune.
Currently he is Professor in BioEngineering at College of
Engineering & Technology, IILM-AHL, Greater Noida,
India. He has taught Biochemical Engineering and
Biophysics to B.E., M.E. and M.Sc. level students at
Universities in India and abroad. He was also Faculty at
the Department of Botany at Oklahoma State University,
Stillwater, OK and Department of Biological Sciences at
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN apart of teaching; he carried out advanced
research in the area of Ion channels electrophysiology, Membrane Nanopore,
Bioengineering, Biosensors and NanoBiotechnology. He learned ‘patch clamp
techniques while working with the Research Group of Prof. Erwin Neher (Nobel
Laureate, Medicine & Physiology, 1991) and published a paper with members of the
group (FEBS Letters, 511, 28-32, 2002). His discoveries on Mecho-sensitive ion
channels in plants was highlighted in Nature 430; 416. This research was also
appraised by Prof. Roderick MacKinnon of the Rockefeller University (Nobel Laureate:
Chemistry 2003) and Prof. Roger Y. Tsein of UCSD (Nobel Laureate: Chemistry 2008)
in their respective Nobel Lectures.
He is a Fellow of American Academy of Science & Technology (FAAST) and Elected
member of International Academy of Science, the National Acadmey of Sciences, India
(NASI) and American Society for Research. He also holds the position of President of
Biosensor Academy and Honorary Scientific Advisor to Serra BioLife Ltd., Melbourne,
Australia. He had received various awards including JCI Outstanding Ten Young
Person of India (1998) and ISBEM Dr. Ramesh Gulrajani Memorial Award (2006) and
Outstanding Researcher Award (2011) at Ion Channel Retreat, Vancouver, Canada. He
is Editorial Board Member of several journals including American Journal of Plant
Physiology, American Journal of Science & Technology, International Journal of
Engineering, Asian Journal of Biotechnology, International Journal of Advanced
Research in Science and Technology (IJARST) etc.
He has published 46 publications in highly cited journals and three patents to his
credits. He has been invited to deliver talks and chair various sessions at several
International scientific events. Prof. Dutta has visited several countries that include
USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, The Netherlands, Hungry, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, Argentina, Canada, China and Sri Lanka.
