The advancement of research on antibacterial nanodrugs with Au nanocages as a substrate
Purposes—To review briefly the preparation of Au nanocages(AuNCs)and the antibac-terial effect of AuNCs in combination with other drugs so as to provide a reference for further antibac-terial research and development.Methods—The preparation and application of antibacterial nanomate-rials based on Au nanocages in recent years were summarized through literature search and classifica-tion.Results—The preparation method of AuNCs and the role of AuNCs substrate in new antibacteri-al nanomaterials are briefly reviewed and the AuNCs-based antibacterial nanomaterials are reviewed which were discovered from 2016 to 2023.The application of AuNCs in the field of biomedicine is dis-cussed,and the future development direction and application of AuNCs are prospected.Conclusions—The study of AuNCs-based antimicrobial nanomaterials and their corresponding antimicrobial strate-gies is of great significance for the further development of novel antimicrobial nanomaterials.
