The present study has explored the reducing and capping potentials of gum kondagogu (GK) for the synthesis of gold nanoparticle constructs. The formation of gold nanoparticles was confirmed by UV- absorption, FTIR, AFM, SEM and TEM. The GK-AuNPs showed a characteristic absorption peak at 534nm in UV spectra with the size range of 4.08–12.73 ±0.75nm. As a result of wide screening on the application of newly synthesized GK-AuNPs their anticancer potential were discovered by MTT assay, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry and quantitative real time PCR techniques. MTT assay of synthesized GK-AuNPs exhibited IC50 concentration of 1.7µgL−1 after 48h. FACS analysis revealed that cell cycle gets arrested at G1 to S phase, with up-regulation of p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, PPARa and PPARb, genes and down regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(K) genes, in B16F10 cells treated with GK-AuNPs confirming the anti-proliferative properties of the nanoparticles.
