Abstrakt: We studied the effect of gold nanospheres coated with components of autologous blood plasma on ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Gold nanoparticles in the chosen concentration range (5-40 μM) and particle size (5-30 nm) with or without coating produced no activating effect on platelet aggregation caused by aggregation inductor ADP in all applied doses (1.6, 2.0, and 5.0 μM). Nanoparticles with a diameter of >60 nm inhibited platelet aggregation. These findings and published data confirm the biological safety of gold nanoparticles for targeted delivery of drugs and phototherapy.
