Abstract
Rapid development of nanotechnology had made availability of nanoparticles in various biomedical applications. Due to the hazardous effects of chemical and physical synthesized nanoparticles, the research has now focussed on “green nanotechnology”. The plant-based nanoparticles have shown many advantages as compared to other chemical, physical and biological mode of nanoparticle synthesis. In this chapter, we made an effort to explore in depth about the various methodology and the biomedical utility of one of green synthesized nanoparticles, i.e. iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). In addition, the potential use of IONPs in diagnostic and therapeutic aspect of various human diseases is also highlighted with specific reference to its impeding application in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), one of the widely spread nutritional disorders affecting mainly women and children.
