Ayurvedic encapsulated gold nanoparticles, methods of fabrication and methods of treatment are provided. A method of fabrication includes mixing dried gooseberry product or mango peel product or phytochemical existent therein, into a liquid medium to form a reducing agent solution. Gold salts are mixed into the reducing agent solution. Reaction of the gold salts proceeds, in the absence of any other reducing agent, to form a nanoparticle solution of stabilized, biocompatible Ayurvedic encapsulated gold nanoparticles. An Ayurvedic medicine consists of a non-radioactive gold nanoparticle encapsulated with phytochemical existent in mango peal or gooseberry in a capsule with curcumin extract and gum Arabic.

Ayurvedic encapsulated gold nanoparticles, fabrication methods and cancer therapeutic methods

A method for forming encapsulated gold nanoparticles mixes mangiferin into a liquid medium to form a reducing agent solution. Gold salts are mixed into the reducing agent solution. Reaction of the gold salts is permitted, in the absence of any other reducing agent, to form a nanoparticle solution of stabilized, biocompatible gold nanoparticles coated with mangiferin. The gold salts can consist of AuCl4, or can consist of radioactive gold salts. A cancer therapy method injects a solution of mangiferin encapsulated gold nanoparticles directly into a solid tumor. A solution consisting of an aqueous or alcoholic medium and mangiferin encapsulated gold nanoparticles is provided. The mangiferin encapsulated gold nanoparticles can have core sizes of &#x2dc;5-20 nm and total sizes of &#x2dc;20-120 nm.
