Abstract

Green nanoparticles are being used in the field of pharmaceutical industry to convert them into pharmacologically effective agents that are used to cure many dangerous diseases. Inventions have been done in this area to prepare non-toxic and pharmacologically beneficial drugs to save life of humans and to preserve the environment to its originality. This chapter gives information about the different types of nanoparticles that are used in the form of drugs such as Dendrimers, Micelles, Drug conjugates, Protein nanoparticles, Nano-gels, Nanotubes of carbon and Nano-diamonds etc. It has been found that incorporation of green nanoparticles into drug reduces the toxicity level of the drug and used to cure Cancer, Infectious disorders, Auto-immune disorders, Cardiovascular Diseases, Neurodegenerative diseases, Disorders of the eye and lungs etc. Along with this, the chapter describes the various route of administration of nanoparticles with appropriate mechanisms.
