Abstract
This review aimed to compile published reports on biogenic phytonanoparticles, their pharmacological activities and put forth the therapeutic potential of metallic nanoparticles. In recent years, the green chemistry synthesis of metallic nanoparticles method has to turn out to be a promising approach in the field of research. A broad review of the literature existing in several documented databases comprising logical script and scientific texts, search engines relevant books, websites, scientific publications, and dissertations were utilized as a source of information that provided an up-to-date review. Herb-mediated synthesis of biogenic metal ion nanoparticles like copper iron (Fe), (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and additional metal oxides such as zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO) etc. are found to be more reliable and economic route. The herb-mediated synthesis method ensures a highly controlled approach making them appropriate for the synthesis of a metal nanoparticle. Artificially fabricated phytonanomaterials, naturally occurring or synthesized nanomaterials of natural origin all exhibit their specific, physical, chemical and biological activities. Several pharmacological activities of phytonanoparticles are attributed to the presence of valuable bioactive phytoconstituents, which reduce metal ions for the formation of nanoparticles. Additionally, the plant-mediated biogenic nanoparticles are utilized as prospective therapeutic agents for the treatment of venerable diseases and can be used as antimicrobial, antileishmanial, antifungal, antibacterial, larvicidal, anthelmintic, anticancer, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Given these facts, an attempt is made to present an inclusive review enlightening the pharmacological activities of biogenic nanoparticles. Future research can be focused on widespread investigation about the synthesis of novel biogenic phytonanoparticles acquiring safety records its clinical trials, pharmacokinetics, and adding new scopes to the therapeutic utilization of phytonanoparticles.
