Abstract

In the past decade, there has been a tremendous amount of research and breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology. From here, a new field of phyto-nanotechnology or plant-based technology of nanoproducts has emerged, which has widespread applications, especially in the field of health and medicine. Since time immemorial we have known the benefits of plants and their parts (roots, leaves, stem, flowers, and fruits). The advancements in nanotechnology have made it possible to study the hidden treasures within plants from a new perspective. This has given rise to industries like nanoceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and nutraceuticals that focus on consumer health via natural supplements conjugated with nanoparticles. These plant-derived nanoproducts have a relatively high internalization rate, proven stability in the gastrointestinal tract, and low immunogenicity, making them far better than traditional formulations. Apart from this, plant-based nanoproducts in therapeutics for diseases like various types of human cancer, diabetes, and curing wound healing are being studied extensively. This chapter focuses on the synthesis and application of plant based AuNPs in wound healing and treatment of infections, highlighting the biomedical applications of the same. In addition, future prospects of plant-derived gold nanoformulations in biological activities are also discussed.
