| Popis: | Background Since ancient times, potential of plants in research and medicine have found pronounced applications, due to better therapeutic value. To meet the mounting demands for commercial nanoparticles, novel eco-friendly methods of synthesis has led to a remarkable progress via unfolding a green synthesis protocol towards metallic nanoparticles synthesis. Hypothesis/Purpose This review highlights the biological synthesis of various metallic nanoparticles as safe, cost effective process, where the phytochemicals present in extract such as flavonoid, phenols, terpenoids act as capping, reducing and stabilizing agents. Moreover, due to their nano size, the nanoparticles directly bind to bacterial strains leading to higher antimicrobial activity. Conclusion Nano-sized dosage systems have a potential for enhancing the activity and overcoming problems associated with phyto medicines. Hence, synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using various plant extracts, emerge as safe alternative to conventional methods for biomedical applications. |
