A Review on Current Prospective and Applications of Green Nanoparticles in Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Green chemistry has been recognised as a new prominent field that endeavours to work at the molecular level to achieve sustainability in the various area of pharmaceuticals. Sustainable chemistry can be defined as the formation of chemical products which reduces the generation of toxic and harmful substances. Hence, green chemistry may decrease pollution and risks of chemical release into the biosphere. Green chemistry has various applications in specific fields like pharmaceutical product development, analytical chemistry and chemical synthesis methods. The applications of green chemistry and nanotechnology for drug delivery in pharmaceuticals can enhance safety and effectiveness. The pollution resulting from conventional methods creates a requirement for environmentally friendly methods. Green nanotechnology may be useful in several areas of biomedical, such as plant extract may be used for the development of advanced novel nanoparticles with the need for progress in biomedicine, antibacterial, nano-biotechnology, sensing and in electrochemical, cosmetics, electronics, biosensors and other applications. The green chemistry approaches may be implemented in various sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, such as biocatalysts, green solvents, green nanotechnology, etc. Hence, the present review article highlights several aspects of green chemistry and its applications in waste management and pollution control. Further, the pharmaceutical application of green chemistry has been discussed.
