A silver nanoparticle is one of the representative engineered nanomaterials with excellent optical, electrical, antibacterial properties. Silver nanoparticles are being increasingly used for medical products, water filters, and cosmetics, etc. However, silver nanoparticles are known to cause adverse effects on the ecosystem and human health. To utilize silver nanoparticles with minimized negative effects, it is important to understand the behavior of silver nanoparticles released to the environment. In this study, we compared toxicity behaviors of citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol coated silver nanoparticles in two different ionic environments, which are aquatic environments for developing zebrafish embryo. Depending on the composition of the ionic environment, citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles and polyethylene glycol coated silver nanoparticles exhibited different behaviors in dissolution, aggregation, or precipitation, which governed the toxicity of silver nanoparticles on zebrafish embryos.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) represent one of the most explored categories of nanomaterials for new and improved biomaterials and biotechnologies, with impressive use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, anti-infective therapy and wound care, food and the textile industry. Their extensive and versatile applicability relies on the genuine and easy-tunable properties of nanosilver, including remarkable physicochemical behavior, exceptional antimicrobial efficiency, anti-inflammatory action and antitumor activity. Besides commercially available and clinically safe AgNPs-based products, a substantial number of recent studies assessed the applicability of nanosilver as therapeutic agents in augmented and alternative strategies for cancer therapy, sensing and diagnosis platforms, restorative and regenerative biomaterials. Given the beneficial interactions of AgNPs with living structures and their nontoxic effects on healthy human cells, they represent an accurate candidate for various biomedical products. In the present review, the most important and recent applications of AgNPs in biomedical products and biomedicine are considered.

Green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles utilizing plant extracts is a simple, cost effective system of generating nanoparticles in an ecofriendly environment. In the present study, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using different parts of Madagascar periwinkle plant extracts. The production of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was detected visually by change in color of the reaction mixture from yellow to reddish brown in a 8 h treatment at 37 °C. Further, the AgNPs were analyzed by various standard characterization techniques such UV-Vis spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy (TEM and SEM), FT-IR, and GC-MS analysis. The UV-Visible spectrum showed the plasmon resonance peak for AgNPs at 435 nm, indicating the formation of silver nanoparticles. FTIR analysis showed a good interaction between the plant extract and NPs. The morphology of the NPs varied in shape has observed through TEM with the particle size less than 10 nm. The phytoformulated nanoparticles were found to be well dispersed in solution and stable due to capping molecules present in the reaction mixture. The chromatographic analysis (GC-MS) displayed a prominent fragmentation pattern especially at the higher molecular weight in the range of 280 to 271. Angiogenesis is an important physiological process that plays a crucial role in several pathological conditions (tumor growth and metastasis). The green synthesized AgNPs were assessed for their angiogenic inhibition properties using zebrafish embryos as a model system. The biogenic AgNPs treatment at the dose of 100 μl and 150 μl showed significant anti-angiogenesis (inhibitory effect on angiogenesis), which represents more effectiveness in controlling the vessel formation during pathological conditions.
