A Brief Review on the Green Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles and TheirTherapeutic Potential

Nanoparticles are now well-known in several medical domains, including biomedical research. On account of their biocompatibility and stability, green synthesis, which is a process for the production of nanoparticles that is favourable to the environment, has garnered substantial attention. The process of green synthesis is not only an environmentally friendly alternative, but also provides a route to the production of potent medicinal molecules. Green nanotechnology has a bright future, as it has the potential to improve medical treatment and promote environmental sustainability by harnessing the force of nature. The therapeutic applications of inorganic nanoparticles derived from natural resources such as bacteria, fungi, and plants are investigated in this review. In the realm of nanoparticles, gold, silver, and platinum are considered the most significant. Each of these three elements possesses distinctive qualities that render it suited for particular medical uses. As a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional medications, the review highlights the promise of green synthesis.

Abstract

Nanoparticles are now well-known in several medical domains, including biomedical research. On account of their biocompatibility and stability, green synthesis, which is a process for the production of nanoparticles that is favourable to the environment, has garnered substantial attention. The process of green synthesis is not only an environmentally friendly alternative, but also provides a route to the production of potent medicinal molecules. Green nanotechnology has a bright future, as it has the potential to improve medical treatment and promote environmental sustainability by harnessing the force of nature. The therapeutic applications of inorganic nanoparticles derived from natural resources such as bacteria, fungi, and plants are investigated in this review. In the realm of nanoparticles, gold, silver, and platinum are considered the most significant. Each of these three elements possesses distinctive qualities that render it suited for particular medical uses. As a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional medications, the review highlights the promise of green synthesis.
