    Several plant bioactives or plant derived therapeutic molecules have been used against life threatening diseases and their nanoparticles mediated delivery greatly improves therapeutic efficiency. The aim of Advances in Phytonanotechnology for Treatment of Various Diseases is to provide past and recent advancement made in the field of phytonanotechnology. The chapters involved in this book provide through knowledge of medicinal plants, Plant bioactives, Plant extract-based nanoparticles synthesis, delivery of plant bioactives via nanoparticles and their therapeutic activity against life threatening diseases. This book focused on the therapeutic activity of plants from diverse family, genus and species containing potential therapeutic molecules. It also covers future aspects and challenges present in the route of phytonanotechnology for curing human diseases. This book fulfils the thrust of researchers working in this field which further encourage them to made new discoveries in this area and support to develop effective nanoparticles mediated plant bioactive delivery platform for human diseases. Key Features * Discusses medicinal plants and plant bioactives used in treatment of various life threatening diseases. * Covers green synthesis of nanoparticles as well as their toxicological and biological effects. * Explore the various nanocarrier’s routinely used in delivery of plant bioactives and their efficacy for future drug delivery. * Envisage future opportunities, challenges and implementation made in phytonanotechnology based treatment of human diseases.
