Abstract

Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical intertidal areas of the world and are salt-tolerant forest ecosystems. They grow in an intertidal zone, unique environment, and habitat. Because of this, the mangrove develops different physiological processes of chemotherapy to reproduce and endure. These metabolic approaches of mangrove plants promote the synthesis of various secondary metabolites that are then utilized as bioactive compounds for specific purposes which include antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antifungal, antimalarial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, etc. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific challenge that entails creation and utilization of substance capabilities at Nanoscale. Nanostructured materials are attracting more attention due to their specific process and selectivity related to biological and pharmaceutical applications. Nanotechnology deals primarily with the synthesis of various types of nano-range particles which are varied in shape, size, chemical composition, and its distribution. Nanomaterials are the most attractive criteria in the research due to their increasing application in medical contexts. Plant-based synthesis of nanoparticles (green synthesis) has received more attention as a sustainable method in contrast with chemical and physical methods. It is very cost-effective and is suitable for large-scale production due to its low-cost benefit. Nano silver particles are the maximum studied nanoparticles and have been extensively used in a number of biomedical applications, including prognosis, treatment, medication administration, coating of medical devices, and personal medical care. The present chapter highlights the medicinal potential of biosynthesized nanoparticles using mangrove plant species as a resource.
