ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology has transformed biomedical research, providing cutting-edge solutions for healthcare. Among these, plant-based nanotechnology is gaining traction as a sustainable alternative, reducing environmental impact while enhancing therapeutic outcomes. This paper delves into the potential of plant-derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) in medicine, emphasizing their biocompatibility, multifunctionality, and eco-friendliness. Synthesized via green methods, PNPs exhibit significant promise in drug delivery, cancer therapy, antimicrobial treatments, and tissue regeneration. Their unique attributes, including a high surface area and bioactive components, enable efficient drug targeting, controlled release, and minimized side effects, thereby improving treatment efficacy. Moreover, the inherent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of plant-derived compounds, retained within PNPs, offer novel strategies to address antimicrobial resistance and facilitate wound healing. Further research is crucial to address issues related to PNP toxicity, biocompatibility, and regulatory compliance to fully realize their clinical and commercial potential.Plant-based nanotechnology emerges as a promising, eco-friendly alternative, poised to advance healthcare solutions while supporting global sustainability goals.
