Green Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles Using Cinnamomum-Based Extracts and Their Applications

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Introduction: species' extracts, describing their methodologies, characterisation of the nanoparticles and their medical applications. Methods: species' extracts as reducing and capping agents. Only original lab articles were considered. The most common applications tested were the MNPs' antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antidiabetic and anticancerous activity. MNPs also had a role in treating mice-induced polycystic ovarian syndrome and Parkinson-like neurodegenerative diseases. Conclusion: species have been successfully utilised in the green synthesis of various MNPs. Silver and Gold NPs were the most reported. These MNPs proved their efficacy in multiple fields of medicine and biology, especially their antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity. Notably, the newly synthesised NPs showed promising results in treating polycystic ovarian syndrome in rats.
