Recent data published by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that every year 8, 8 million people died from cancer around the world.
Therefore, the development of new technologies more efficient, chipper and environmentally-friendly for the treatment of this disease it is currently a very relevant goal. This invention is about a new methodology of synthesis of silver nanoparticles, in observance of the green chemistry and by using seaweed extracts as reducing agent of silver ions.
The new proposal synthesis attendsto theGreen Chemistry Principles. In other words, it is neither use high temperatures, nor organic solvents. In addition, it is not require a lot of time in preparation, what decrease the synthesis cost when compared with traditionalmethods, besides it not be damage to the environment.The silver nanoparticles obtainedthroughthis new synthesis methodology, of low-cost and environmentally-friendly, are not toxics to normal cells, even though they are very efficient againsttumoral ones,including cells that are multidrug resistant.
The Technology Transfer Office from USP Innovation Agency (www.inovacao.usp.br) publishes the results of researches developed in the University of São Paulo - Brazil in order to locate companies interested and available to use them. Our fields are diverse and USP Innovation Agency is capable of attending different demands regarding the process of technology incorporation.
