Gold nanoparticles enhance the anti-leukemia action of a 6-mercaptopurine chemotherapeutic agent

6-mercaptopurine and its riboside derivatives are some of the most widely utilized anti-leukemic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Their short biological half-life and severe side effects limit their use. A new delivery method for these drugs based on 4-5 nm gold nanoparticles can potentially resolve the...
