Abstract
The development of reliable and eco-friendly methods for synthesizing metal nanoparticles is a pivotal step in advancing the field of nanotechnology. This comprehensive review discusses various synthesis routes and the applications of biosynthesized nanoparticles. The biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles is the subject of a number of recent reviews, which focus on the various synthesis methods and characterization of the final products. The key applications reviewed here include biomedical applications, especially antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral applications, also cytotoxicity effects, special embassies with molecular mechanism of silver nanoparticles in anticancer activity. It compares efficient synthesis methods via green routes to physical and chemical methods, which provide strong evidence for the selecting suitable method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. These findings will helpful for future investigations concerning the use of silver nanoparticles as different biomedical application in the areas of medical and food industry.
