A REVIEW ON GREEN SYNTHESIS OF NANOPARTICLES USING MEDICINAL PLANTS FROM GHANA

Abstract

The use of nanoparticles (NPs), particularly those containing silver, gold, cobalt, and zinc, as antimicrobial, anticancer, drug delivery, contrast, and bio imaging specialists has transformed the medical field. Their abilities, which are attributed to their physicochemical properties, have gained prominence in a variety of innovative fields. Despite the fact that NPs can be delivered via extensive physical and synthetic methods, an organic methodology using common materials has recently been developed. With the growing interest in safe and effective nanomaterials, the organic approach combining microorganisms and plants is preferred over physical and substance techniques for nanoparticle union. Plants certainly stand out among these bio-elements, as evidenced by their ability to reduce and settle NPs in a single one pot convention. Ghana is home to 5% of West African plant species, making it an important supporter of the global environmental landscape. Despite the reported commitment of Ghana plants, particularly in home grown medication, not many of these plants have been investigated for the honorable metallic nanoparticles union. This study gives an outline of a couple of critical Ghanaian restorative plants that have been utilized in the combination of metallic nanoparticles. The improved organic properties of biogenic metallic nanoparticles validate their use in medicine. In this project, a larger portion of Ghana's plant biodiversity should be investigated for the presence of metallic nanoparticles and approved for their potential to be converted into future Nano medicine.
