Abstract
Nanotechnology can be defined as research for the designing synthesis and manipulation of the structure of particles with dimension smaller than 100 nm. Metal nanoparticles have been studied extensively because of their unique physicochemical properties. Biological methods of nanoparticle synthesis using microorganisms, enzymes/proteins and plants extracts has been suggested as possible eco-friendly methods of synthesis alternatives to physical and chemical methods. Recently, nanomedicine has become a leading research field. Scientists are involved in developing safe, effective, cheaper and less toxic drugs or carriers to combat diseases like cancer, epilepsy, etc. Use of plant for synthesis of nanoparticles could be advantageous over other environmentally benign biological process as this eliminates the elaborate process of maintaining cell cultures. Plant use can also be suitable scaled up for large scale synthesis of nanoparticles. In the plant mediated green chemistry approach, the reduction are of metals salts is very fast and the procedure itself requires no specific conditions unlike the physical and chemical. Therefore medicinal plants of well established therapeutic importance are being widely used for the Green synthesis. Medicinal plants are used by 80% of the world population for their basic health needs. India is the birth place of renewed system of indigenous medicines such as Siddha, Ayurveda and Unani.
Pisonia alba leaves belongs to family Nyctaginaceae These leaves are edible. It plays an immense role in various maladies conditions and it capable properties like antiulcer , antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticarcinoma, anti-inflammatory, hyperglyemica, antiarthiritis, jaundice, swelling, antibacterial activity, thyroid hormone study.Silver nanoparticles has attracted enormous interest because of its great potential for wide applications in food, cosmetic, clothing and pharmaceutical industries. The world health organization (WHO) has declared that silver does not cause adverse health effects. Copper-based nanoparticles are of great interest because of low cost, availability and properties possessed are similar to that of other metallic nanoparticles. Zinc oxide is an interesting semiconductor material due to application on application on solar cells, gas sensors, ceramics, catalysts, cosmetics and varsities. Manganese oxide nanoparticles are one of the most attractive inorganic materials.
