This review is a comprehensive contribution in the field of green synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of AgNPs using different biological sources.Methods: Biosynthesis of AgNPs can be accomplished by physical, chemical, and green synthesis; however, synthesis via biological precursors has shown remarkable outcomes. In available reported data, these entities are used as reducing agents where the synthesized NPs are characterized by ultraviolet-visible and Fourier-transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.Results: Modulation of metals to a nanoscale drastically changes their chemical, physical, and optical properties, and is exploited further via antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antioxidant, and cardioprotective activities. Results showed excellent growth inhibition of the microorganism.Conclusion: Novel outcomes of green synthesis in the field of nanotechnology are appreciable where the synthesis and design of NPs have proven potential outcomes in diverse fields. The study of green synthesis can be extended to conduct the in silco and in vitro research to confirm these findings.Keywords: green synthesis, plant mediated synthesis, silver bioactivity, microorganism Ahmad SMunir SZeb NUllah AKhan BAli JBilal MOmer MAlamzeb MSalman SMAli SDove Medical PressarticleGreen synthesisPlant mediated synthesisSilver BioactivityMicroorganismMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 5087-5107 (2019) |
