Abstract
Science and technology have reached into a vast field of research and application in nanotechnology. Nanomaterials can be easily taken up by human cells, and bio-nanoparticles are shown to be safe, eco-friendly and bioprospecting. Therefore, advancement of synthesis of nanomaterials by green chemistry approach is necessary. The modern synthetic method is being applied for the preparation of nanoforms to control environmental pollution, toxicity and reduction of probability of production of hazardous products using different plant extracts consisting of various plant phytochemicals which we will use to combat deadliest diseases. The development of nano-drugs is designed for targeted drug delivery in medical field, and application of this nanotechnology in regenerative medicine supports growth of cells using therapy. Future research should focus on the production of nano-medicine from plant origin, which when used as drug should be free from toxicity.
