Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm, represent one of the most significant advancements in metal-based technologies in recent years. Their application in the medical field, especially as drug delivery agents, is particularly noteworthy and demonstrates their transformative potential. This study aims to synthesize AuNPs using HAuCl4 as a precursor and ascorbic acid as a bioreductant at a concentration of 20 ppm with a bottom-up method. The result of the synthesis process yields a striking burgundy-colored solution, signifying the successful formation of gold nanoparticles. The results of UV-Vis characterization provided insightful data on the transformation of the HAuCl4 solution. Initially recorded at a wavelength of 314.60 nm, the solution underwent a notable shift to 523.50 nm after the synthesis process, demonstrating an absorbance value of 0.323. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis illuminated the unique characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles, revealing an average particle size of 6.23 nm with the highest particle frequency in the range of 6-8 nm. Moreover, the result of clinical trials conducted with ten randomly selected volunteers, who received 20 ppm of AuNPs over a five-week period, demonstrated that seven out of ten participants experienced a significant reduction in uric acid levels, underscoring the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles. Microscopic observations following the injection revealed that volunteers with normal uric acid levels exhibited fewer leukocytes than those with elevated uric acid levels, who were noted to have leukocyte counts up to three times higher. In conclusion, the synthesis of AuNPs using ascorbic acid is marked by a wine-red solution and a significant absorption wavelength shift to the 500–600 nm range. The positive results of the clinical trial reflect the ability of AuNPs to lower uric acid levels, thereby paving the way for innovative nanotechnology-based therapeutic strategies in the medical field.

Abstract

Blood pressure is an important factor in the circulatory system and should be within the normal range of 90-140/60-90 mmHg. Blood pressure imbalances, such as hypertension and hypotension, can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, or chronic illness. These conditions can trigger oxidative stress, which is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. Oxidative stress can damage cells and tissues, including blood vessels. Therefore, antioxidant intake is needed to help prevent further damage and maintain stable blood pressure. One innovative approach in blood pressure management is the use of gold nanoparticles, which have antioxidant activity. This study aims to characterize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized using ascorbic acid bioreductors and examine the effect of their injection on human blood pressure. Characterization was performed using UV-Vis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), showing a maximum wavelength of 523.50 nm and an average particle diameter of 6.45 nm. Gold nanoparticles were injected intravenously at a dose of 200 mL every week. The results of the study indicate that the administration of gold nanoparticles significantly lowers blood pressure, as shown by the Paired T-Test, which shows an average decrease of 12.6 mmHg (95% CI: 5.1–20.1) and a p-value of 0.004. Based on the blood pressure trend graph, it was found that hypertensive volunteers' blood pressure decreased to normal levels, hypotensive volunteers' blood pressure increased to normal levels, and volunteers with normal blood pressure remained stable. Microscopic analysis showed a higher number of white blood cells in hypertensive volunteers compared to volunteers with normal blood pressure.
