An important reason for investigation using plants for nanotechnological research is due to their easy availability as well as applications in various ailments. Silver nanoformulation can be synthesized using whole plant extract or bioactive of that particular plant. In addition, plant extracts or bioactive of the plant may act both as reducing agents and stabilizing agents in the synthesis process of nanoformulation. The therapeutic effect of plant extract is hindered because of its instability, poor solubility, and low bioavailability. So, nowadays, researches have been carried out for improving all these properties including sustainability through silver nanotechnological approach. The major advantage of green synthesis using plant extracts is that, organic solvents and other excipients are not used because the plant phytochemicals are involved directly in the reduction of the ions and formation of silver nanoparticles. The present review provides an updated knowledge on mechanism of green synthesis of silver nanoparticle and their mechanism of action as antibacterial and anticancer activities.

Nanosized particles, with a size of less than 100 nm, have a wide variety of applications in various fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Metal nanoparticles [MNPs] have been synthesized by different chemical and physical procedures. Still, the biological approach or green synthesis [phytosynthesis] is considered as a preferred method due to eco-friendliness, nontoxicity, and cost-effective production. Various plants and plant extracts have been used for the green synthesis of MNPs, including biofabrication of noble metals, metal oxides, and bimetallic combinations. Biomolecules and metabolites present in plant extracts cause the reduction of metal ions into nanosized particles by one-step preparation methods. MNPs have remarkable attractiveness in biomedical applications for their use as potential antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial agents. The present review offers a comprehensive aspect of MNPs production via top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top approach with considerable emphasis on green technology and their possible biomedical applications. The critical parameters governing the MNPs formation by plant-based synthesis are also highlighted in this review.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes persistent inflammation and joint damage. Traditional medications like methotrexate, leflunomide, and antimalarials, as well as novel biological medicines like adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab, make up the DMARDs. New medications, such as upadacitinib17, a specific JAK-1 inhibitor, and rituximab have recently been introduced to the RA treatment arsenal. Nanoparticles are able to travel across loose vasculature and penetrate into inflammatory areas and tumor sites due to their unique physical features. The application of MNPs in the treatment, diagnosis, and targeting of rheumatoid arthritis is the topic of this review.Nanotechnology is a subset of nanomaterials that are widely used in drug delivery, imaging, diagnosis, and targeting.It has been used to treat malignancies and, more recently, the treatment of inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. The findings have motivated scientists to test MNPs in a variety of disorders. While research into magnetically focused treatment and diagnostics is still in its early phases, it has already shown great potential. MNP technologies confront a number of challenges, including not just overcoming their inherent weaknesses, but also keeping up with the times. Using a single-cell method, the diversity of synovial cells and immune cells in joints was discovered. Precision therapy necessitates the application of MNP technology to further target specific cells. Because of the efficacy of exosomes in treating RA, bio-membrane encapsulated MNPs have been developed. Furthermore, the discovery of MNPs' effects on cell autophagy and metabolism has ushered in a new era in the mechanistic research of magnetic nanoparticles. Overall, magnetic nanoparticle modification is a promising platform for treating rheumatoid arthritis that is both promising and challenging.
