Abstract
The progressive research into the nanoscale level upgrades the higher end modernized evolution with every field of science, engineering, and technology. Silver nanoparticles and their broader range of application from nanoelectronics to nano-drug delivery systems drive the futuristic direction of nanoengineering and technology in contemporary days. In this review, the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is the cornerstone of interest over physical and chemical methods owing to its remarkable biocompatibility and idiosyncratic property engineering. The abundant primary and secondary plant metabolites collectively as multifarious phytochemicals which are more peculiar in the composition from root hair to aerial apex through various interspecies and intraspecies, capable of reduction, and capping with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, the process by which intracellular, extracellular biological macromolecules of the microbiota reduce with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the precursor molecule is also discussed. Viruses are one of the predominant infectious agents that gets faster resistance to the antiviral therapies of traditional generations of medicine. We discuss the various stages of virus targeting of cells and viral target through drugs. Antiviral potential of silver nanoparticles against different classes and families of the past and their considerable candidate for up-to-the-minute need of complete addressing of the fulminant and opportunistic global pandemic of this millennium SARS-CoV2, illustrated through recent silver-based formulations under development and approval for countering the pandemic situation.
期刊介绍:
The overall aim of the International Nano Letters is to bring science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials with emphasis on synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that enable novel/enhanced properties or functions. It is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers. International Nano Letters is covering fundamental and applied research in all disciplines of science, engineering and medicine. INL publishes all aspects of nanoscale science and technology dealing with materials synthesis, processing, nanofabrication, nano-polymer, nano-catalyst, nano-particles, nano-probes, spectroscopy, properties, biological systems, nano-structures, theory and computation, nano-electronics, nano-optics, nano-mechanics, nano-devices, nano-detection, nano-biotechnology, nano-medicine, nano-drug delivery, nano-toxicology. All articles should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of nanomaterials. All contributions will be peer reviewed.
