Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), owing to their unusual characteristics, have been used in various pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and healthcare products. AgNPs, with their exceptional biological potential, exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and wound healing properties and have been extensively used in burn therapy. Several studies have established the use of silver nanoparticles in the treatment of burn injuries, resulting in reduced inflammation, quick tissue regeneration, and the remarkable creation of collagen fibers. Conventional physical and chemical techniques have synthesized AgNPs, but they appear to be highly costly and hazardous. Recently, there has been considerable interest in the synthesis of AgNPs using the green chemistry approach because of its tremendous benefits, including being non-toxic, low energy consumption, pollution-free, economical, environmentally friendly, and more sustainable. This review emphasizes the green synthesis of AgNPs using bacteria, fungi, plants, and other microorganisms and the current research related to the application of green synthesized AgNPs in burn therapy, including the biological aspects of AgNPs, their mode of action, and any possible detrimental effects.
