Plant-Based Metabolites and Their Uses in Nanomaterials Synthesis: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Secondary Metabolites Based Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Their Applications

Part of the book series: Smart Nanomaterials Technology ((SNT))

Abstract

The primary disciplines in the field of nanotechnology are biology, physics, chemistry, and material sciences. It also involves the creation of novel therapeutic nanomaterials for biomedical and pharmaceutical uses. Various macro-microscopic organisms, including plants, bacteria, fungi, seaweeds, and microalgae, are responsible for the biological synthesis of nanoparticles. The various endemic pathogens were effectively controlled by biosynthesized nanomaterials while causing fewer harmful side effects. In addition to alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and tannins, the plant also contains a variety of additional nutritional components. These natural substances can be found in plants. These organic ingredients come from a wide range of plant components, such as leaves, stems, roots, shoots, flowers, bark, and seeds. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of plant extracts as a non-hazardous precursor for the synthesis of nanomaterials. The plant extract serves as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the bio-reduction reaction to synthesize novel metallic nanoparticles because it contains a variety of secondary metabolites. A complex mixture of various phytochemicals, including phenolics, sugars, flavonoids, xanthones, and others, makes up plant extract. Nanoparticles are synthesized using non-biological techniques (chemical and physical), which are extremely dangerous and harmful to living organisms. In addition, the environmentally friendly, low-cost, one-step biological synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. Several nanomaterials that are better for the environment can be effectively manufactured using plants. These nanoparticles include such as cobalt, copper, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, zinc oxide, and magnetite. Furthermore, the plant-mediated nanoparticles show promise as a potential treatment for a variety of diseases, which includes cancer, HIV, hepatitis, malaria, and other acute infections.
