Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) their Advantages, Potential Role as Antibacterial, Antifungal Agent, Associated Patents and Future Perspectives: A Systematic Review

Sumel Ashique

With the upgradation of nanotechnology, Silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have become one of the most promising nanoparticles due to their several advantages in the pharmaceutical field. Several methods are available for the synthesis of AgNPs like physical, chemical and biological methods. In physical and chemical methods unwanted toxic products are generated, requiring high energy and associated problems in stability. Biological or green mode of synthesis is more advantageous over other methods thus, there is an urgent need for greener synthesis of AgNPs in several drug delivery purposes. Greener synthesis of AgNPs offer reduced toxicity, cost-effectiveness and in the abundance of reducing raw agents. Additionally Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained lots of attention because of efficient action against microbial infections, antibacterial and antifungal. This review has described the advantages of green synthesized Ag-NPs, their potential application, associated patents in the field of pharmacy and future perspectives briefly.
