Naturally Occurring Bioactive Compound‐Derived Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Bioactive, small molecular compounds from a variety of plants and organisms have tremendous potential for use as treatments for cancer, microbial infections, inflammatory diseases, and other medical conditions. There have also been attempts to use naturally occurring bioactive compounds as delivery carriers. Such bioactive, natural compound-derived nanocarriers are expected to have better biocompatibility than synthetic material-derived drug-delivery systems and also exhibit intrinsic therapeutic efficacy.

“…Simply having a slightly targeted system that would increase the accumulation of the drug at the cancer site compared to chemotherapy would prove to be beneficial and required. A nanoparticle system should be stable, have the ability to carry large loads of cargo, and most importantly, could be accumulated to the tumor site through an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect [5,9,15]. The drug must maintain its toxic effects and as a result should be stable in the sense that it does not break open, releasing its contents and should only do so at the cancer site.…”

“…Through the aid of a nanocarrier, a drug can be safely administered, with long systemic circulation; which could effectively increase drug bioavailability while reducing its systemic toxicity [4]. Additionally, using a naturally occurring phenolic compound may have a less negative toxic effect on healthy cells and as a result the entire body, but with the difficulty of forming a stable nanoparticle that can still administer the contents of the nanoparticle [5,6].…”

“…Modern strategies are particularly focused on ecofriendly nanosize materials, produced during the greener synthesis/the green chemistry processes (Kharissova et al 2019). Such attempts have been successfully undertaken with other substances of plant origin (Park et al 2016;Saw et al 2019). The R. rhabarbarum-based silver nanoparticles were found to possess significant antibacterial activity both against E. coli (CCM 4517) and Staphylococcus aureus (CCM 4516).…”

“…The extraction of a bioactive compound always brings focus areas toward microbes, plant, and animal matrices. Bioactive compounds are used as a carrier agent in the treatment of various emerging diseases (Saw et al., 2019). The bioactive compounds extraction becomes focused toward a spice recognized as fenugreek.…”
