Description
Velaphi Thipe and co-authors make gold nanoparticles from yucca plant extract and test them on cancers in a 2023 study. Green synthesis skips harsh chemicals: the plant's own compounds both build the particles and coat them. A gum arabic version added stability.
The particles came out small, round, and evenly sized, with surface charges suited to staying suspended. In lab dishes they killed prostate and breast cancer cells by triggering early and late cell death, while sparing normal cells. They also shifted immune signals, raising anti-tumor messengers and lowering pro-tumor ones. Uniquely, the particles targeted the macrophage cells that help tumors grow. The authors present the agents as a plant-based nanomedicine candidate.
