Toxicity of Gold Nanoparticles in Mice due to Nanoparticle/Drug Interaction Induces Acute Kidney Damage
Posted on 2020-07-03 - 04:33
Abstract Nanomaterials are innovative materials with many useful properties, but there is concern regarding their many unknown effects on living organisms. Gold nanoparticles are widely used as industrial materials because of their excellent properties. The potential biological hazards of gold nanoparticles are unknown, and thus, here we examined the in vivo effects of gold nanoparticles 10, 50, and 100 nm in diameter (GnP10, GnP50, and GnP100, respectively) and their interactions with drugs in mice to clarify their safety in mammals. Cisplatin, paraquat, and 5-aminosalicylic acid cause side-effect damage to the liver and kidney in mice. No hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity was observed when any of the gold nanoparticles alone were administered via the tail vein. In contrast, co-administration of GnP-10 with cisplatin, paraquat, or 5-aminosalicylic acid caused side-effect damage to the kidney. This suggests that gold nanoparticles with a particle size of 10 nm are potentially nephrotoxic due to their interaction with drugs.
