Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing gold nanoparticles using hydroxyl peroxide in an aqueous alkaline condition in the presence of a biocompatible protecting agent. The method of the invention does not involve toxic reagents and therefore are environmentally friendly. The gold nanoparticles thus produced can be used in biomedical applications including cancer therapy and drug delivery without purification.
