Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have been already proposed for many advanced research approaches in the fields of therapeutics and nanomedicine due to their non-antigenicity and more potent optical characteristics along with their respective antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in effective site specific targeted drug-delivery practices systems. In last few years, chemically synthesized metal based nanoparticles has been studies for their biological and delivery behaviours because of use of various chemical and bio-hazardous chemicals in their preparations. Various previous studies on green synthesis of silver metal based nanoparticles have been designed which involved biological sources like microorganisms, plants and herbal extracts as cost effective, eco-friendly and non-toxic approaches. So that, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been much exploited in wider range of applications in the field of biomedical, therapeutics, nanomedicine and pharmaceuticals as more potent and safe drug delivery vehicles as compared to chemically preparations of silver nanoparticles. Therefore, in this review, we recollected the comparative studies based on advantages of green approaches of silver nanoparticles over their respective chemical preparations.
