Silver nanotechnology has received tremendous attention in recent years, owing to its wide range of applications in various fields and its intrinsic therapeutic properties. In this review, an attempt is made to critically evaluate the chemical, physical, and biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as well as their efficacy in the field of theranostics including microbiology and parasitology. Moreover, an outlook is also provided regarding the performance of AgNPs against different biological systems such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites (leishmanial and malarial parasites) in curing certain fatal human diseases, with a special focus on cancer. The mechanism of action of AgNPs in different biological systems still remains enigmatic. Here, due to limited available literature, we only focused on AgNPs mechanism in biological systems including human (wound healing and apoptosis), bacteria, and viruses which may open new windows for future research to ensure the versatile application of AgNPs in cosmetics, electronics, and medical fields.

“…The most dominant morphology was pyramidal shape, in different sizes, but hexagonal structures were also observed. Possible involvement of proteins in synthesizing silver nanoparticles was observed in Plectonema boryanum UTEX 485 (a filamentous cyanobacterium) (Lengke et al 2007). …”

“…The properties in turn depend on the shape and size of the materials. Nanostructure science and nanotechnology are modern, interesting, very useful and fast developing branches of science and technology which deals with synthesis, characterization and applications of different types of nanostructured (at least one dimension less than 100 nm, more typically less than 50 nm) materials [1]. These materials are playing an increasing role in our day to day life, as more and more products based on nanosize materials are coming into the market.…”

Eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using leaves extracts of plant Murraya koenigii (curry leaves) and 1 mM silver nitrate solution. During this synthesis the leaf extract works as a reducing agent. The characterization of silver nanoparticles was carried out using UV-visible spectra, scanning electron microscopy and FTIR. The characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak was found at 340 nm in UV-visible spectra confirms the formation of silver nanoparticles. The morphological study from SEM images gave an idea about the formation of asymmetrical spherical shape silver nanoparticles which are rested on the leaves extract residue. FTIR spectrum clearly suggested the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles initiated by the leaves extract. This green synthesis method is quite fast, easy to perform and does not involve the use of any harmful and costly chemicals.
