Abstract Main conclusion The recent preparations of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts as reducing agents are summarized here. The synthesis and characterization of plant–metal nanomaterials and the progress in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medical applications are detailed, providing a new vision for plant-based medical applications. Abstract The medical application of plant-metal nanoparticles is becoming a research hotspot. Compared with traditional preparation methods, the synthesis of plant-metal nanoparticles is less toxic and more eco-friendly, increasing application potential. Highly efficient plant-metal nanoparticles are usually smaller than 100 nm. This review describes the synthesis, characterization and bioactivities of gold- and silver-plant nanoparticles as examples and clearly explained their antibacterial and anticancer mechanisms. An analysis of actual cases shows that the synthetic method and type of plant extract affect the activities of the products.
Introduction Since the end of the twentieth century, the synthesis and use of nanoparticles (NPs) has become a hot topic of research.

platinum, copper, zinc and their oxides, have been proven to be good bioactive materials (Mata et al. 2015; Babu and Antony 2018). NPs are some of the best candidates for replacing the conventional method of antibiotic treatment because of their strong broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and low toxicity. The use of NPs in cancer therapy is also promising, with previous data showing that NPs can affect a variety of cancer cells. In recent decades, research on the antibacterial and anticancer properties of NPs has continued to increase, which can be proven by the large amount of related literature data. (Fig. 1a, b). As a common carrier, precious metals are widely studied, especially gold, silver and other precious metals (Thanganadar Appapalam and Panchamoorthy 2017; Veisi et al. 2018). Generally, par
