REVIEW ON GREEN NANOTECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Green chemistry familarly called as sustainable chemistry mainly focus on the designing of pharmaceutical products by processes that decreases the use of chemicals and hazardous substances generation, Now a days plant based medicines engineered with Novel drug deleivery like nanoparticles, microspheres etc plays a major role in the treatment oif severeal life threatening diseases by their quick drug deleivery to the target site. This review focus on the green chemistry principles for the formulation of pharmaceutical nanoparticles specially from plant based compounds and their formulation techniques.Green nanotechnology, in phyto formulations, maintains the environmental sustainability in the production of nanoparticles, providing harmless to human health and also to the environment. Enhancement of energy efficiency, reduction in waste production and emission of gases, and minimal consumption of non-renewable raw materials are the main advantages of green nanotechnology. Green chemistry offers a great opportunity to stop the adverse effects before their occurrence during the synthesis of nanoparticles.
