Abstract

Enhancement of plant materials based nanoparticles have various benefits over conventional physico-chemical methods. These conventional methods for example chemical reduction process, in which different chemicals hazardous are used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Due hazardous, later converted to responsible for immeasurable health risks to environment due to their toxicity nature and threatening serious fears for human being. Plant based nanoparticle synthesis have many advantages and it will be useful to medicine and biological application. In this review, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) by plants and their biomedical potential was covered. Many plants mediated (green synthesis) ZnO NPs has strong antimicrobial activity against the pathogens compared to available standard drugs and Antiviral, anticancer and free radical scavenging potential application. The plant based synthesis of ZnO NPs could be outstanding policy to develop resourceful and environmental friendly biomedical application.
