| Zusammenfassung: | pH-sensitive doxycycline gold nanoparticles (doxy-AuNPs) are reported here to act as effective drug nanocarriers and as biocatalysts. The AuNPs were synthesized with doxy as the reducing and capping agent. Various parameters were optimized to find the best conditions for the synthesis of doxy-AuNPs, and these were characterized with UV-vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Doxy-AuNPs were then loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), where 70% of the initially available drug was loaded within 24 h. Furthermore, pH-dependent drug release was measured at 60% with in vitro measurements in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In addition, the doxy-AuNPs were applied as a biocatalyst. Oxidation of dopamine was taken as a model reaction to determine the catalytic activity of doxy-AuNPs. Almost complete oxidation of dopamine occurred in 5 min, which indicates the fast response of synthesized doxy-AuNPs as a biocatalyst. Hence, doxy-AuNPs are a versatile platform for drug loading and biocatalyst |
