Ultrafast synthesis of stabilized gold nanoparticles using aqueous fruit extract of Limonia acidissima L. and conjugated epirubicin: targeted drug delivery for treatment of breast cancer

Abstract

Green synthesis of AuNPs using extract of<italic>Limonia acidissima</italic>L. as a reducing agent. Epirubicin was successfully loaded on folic acid–AuNPs. This formulation revealed better site specific delivery of epirubicin to MCF-7 cells.
