Title: Preparation of gold nanoparticles using chitosan oligosaccharide as a reducing and capping reagent and their in vitro cytotoxic effect on Human fibroblasts cells
Abstract: Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were successfully synthesized by use of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) as reducing agent and capping agent. The results revealed that the average particle size was 115.21±16.87 nm and were crystallized in the face centered cubic symmetry. The possible synthesis mechanisms were elucidated through FTIR. In vitro cytotoxicity of the GNPs against Human fibroblasts cells showed a dose–response activity at concentration higher than 62.5 μg/ml.
