Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Various Plants - and Its Medicinal Applications: A Review

Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver which are in the range of 1 and 100 nm in size. Silver nanoparticles have unique properties which help in molecular diagnostics, in therapies, as well as in devices that are used in several medical procedures. . This review provides a comprehensive view on the mechanism of Biogenic synthesis of Ag Nps. the biological method provides a feasible alternative. The major biological systems involved in this are bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts. The major applications of silver nanoparticles in the medical field include diagnostic applications and therapeutic applications. In most of the therapeutic applications, it is the antimicrobial property that is being majorly explored, though the anti-inflammatory property has its fair share of applications. Though silver nanoparticles are rampantly used in many medical procedures and devices as well as in various biological fields, they have their drawbacks due to nanotoxicity. This review provides a comprehensive view on the mechanism of Biogenic synthesis of Ag Nps. . The major methods used for silver nanoparticle synthesis are the physical and chemical methods are Toxic.
