Chimica Inorganica Metall. Anal., L. Malatesta, Via Venezian 21, 20133 Milano, Italy Today gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have become an important biomedical tool in cancer research. The presence of a negative charge on the surface of AuNPs helps to modify the surface of AuNPs by binding with several biomolecules. It is well established that capped AuNPs are biocompatible and non-toxic allowing their use in cancer treatment [1]. Nucleobases, nucleosides and nucleotides, used in this work, were among the first chemotherapeutic agents introduced for the medical treatment of cancer.
