Title: Synthesis of nitric oxide-releasing gold nanoparticles. Author: Rothrock AR, Donkers RL, Schoenfisch MH. Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2005 Jul 06; 127(26):9362-3. PubMed ID: 15984851. Abstract: We report the synthesis of nitric oxide-releasing gold nanoparticles formed by place-exchange reaction of hexanethiol monolayer-protected clusters with diamine nitric oxide donor precursor molecules, which are subsequently converted to N-diazeniumdiolate NO donors. The nitric oxide release from the N-diazeniumdiolate-modified gold nanoparticles is tunable by varying the number and/or the chemical structure of the exchanged amine ligands. The size and stability of NO-releasing nanoparticles may prove useful for a range of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
