Fruit extracts have natural bioactive molecules that are known to possess significant therapeutic potential. Traditionally, metallic nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical methods, in which the chemical act as the reducing agent. Later, these traditional metallic nanoparticles emerged as the biological risk, which prompted researchers to explore an eco-friendly approach. There are different eco-friendly methods employed for synthesizing these metallic nanoparticles via the usage of microbes and plants, primarily via fruit extract. These explorations have paved the way for using fruit extracts for developing nanoparticles, as they eliminate the usage of reducing and stabilizing agents. Metallic nanoparticles have gained significant attention, and are used for diverse biological applications. The present review discusses the potential activities of phytochemicals, and it intends to summarize the different metallic nanoparticles synthesized using fruit extracts and their associated pharmacological activities like anti-cancerous, antimicrobial, antioxidant and catalytic efficiency.
水果提取物含有天然生物活性分子，已知具有显著的治疗潜力。传统上，金属纳米粒子是通过化学方法合成的，其中化学物质充当还原剂。后来，这些传统的金属纳米粒子成为了生物风险，这促使研究人员探索一种环保的方法。现在有不同的环保方法可用于通过微生物和植物来合成这些金属纳米粒子，主要是通过水果提取物。这些探索为使用水果提取物来开发纳米粒子铺平了道路，因为它们消除了还原剂和稳定剂的使用。金属纳米粒子受到了广泛关注，并被用于多种生物应用。本综述讨论了植物化学物质的潜在活性，并旨在总结使用水果提取物合成的不同金属纳米粒子及其相关的药理学活性，如抗癌、抗菌、抗氧化和催化效率。
