Green Synthesis- A study of its applications in Medical Field

  Mary Vijaya Ratna A,  Dr.K.Radhakrishna

The present study is focussed on the synthesis of few AO ( Zinc, Silver, Cerium, .....) compounds which has multipurpose anticancer and antimicrobial activities. These compounds have shown promising approaches as treatment agents in biology and medical science. Leaf extracts were used as reducing agents for synthesis as a cost effective, eco-friendly process compared to that of chemical synthesis. The Physiochemical properties such as size, agglomeration state in liquids and surface charge has an important part in the final interaction with target cells. Wound healing studies revealed that AO compounds form thin films which have potential applications as an antimicrobial dressing in wound management process. From a biomedical perspective peroxides act as oxygen supplies and thus can be exploited in treatment of a wide variety of diseases induced by anaerobic and even cancerous cells. Using these compounds did not cause toxicity and non mutagenic to normal human body. Thus the study shows that the nanocomposite produced through green synthesis has great potential to be developed into effective therapeutic agents. It can pave the way for sustainable synthesis of monodispersed particles.
