Abstract: Metallic nano-particles are nano scale metals that fall between one to one hundred nano meters in length, breadth, and thickness. Faraday looked into the possibility of metallic nanoparticles in solution for the first time in 1856. These days, it is possible to create and modify these nanomaterials with different chemical functional groups, enabling them to engage with medicines, ligands, and antibodies. Applications for metallic nanoparticles in biotechnology, therapeutics, and medication and gene delivery are numerous. The features, benefits, drawbacks, and attributes of metal nanomaterials are outlined in this review. This review also highlights how metallic nanomaterials work as catalysts, which is necessary for stabilization. It provides the readers with detailed information on the synthesis by various methods and characterization, with a particular focus on therapeutic application along with potential side effects and their future perspectives. Recent headway has opened the way to site-specific targeting and drug delivery by these metallic nano particles.
