ABSTRACT: Presenting and definition the most important points about nanoparticles
for medicinal plants and the most important vital applications of them. The scoping
review was performed according to systemic style. The research articles
included the selected studies dealing with primary information on
nanotechnology and medicinal plants published between 2000 and 2023. The search
was at grassroots platforms such as Web of Science and PubMed. Many studies
correlated the properties of plants’ nanoparticles such as stability, surface area, and high reactivity, and their
small size. It was found that nanoparticles (NPs) have size ranging from some
nanometers to 100 nm and their morphology is controlled because of their tiny
size, NPs have a big surface area, which makes them suitable for many
applications. Green nanotechnology has the potential to become an industry with
very high green credentials as it is increasingly commercialized. In general,
nanoparticles derived from medicinal plants offer a promising avenue for
various bio-applications. Their green synthesis, biocompatibility, and
potential therapeutic properties make them an attractive area of research with
the potential to impact fields ranging from medicine to agriculture.
