Abstract

Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is a commonly observed condition marked by inflammation and infection of the sinuses, prompting the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches, such as the utilization of topical antibacterial agents incorporating silver nanoparticles. However, prior to clinical translation, a comprehensive evaluation of the safety profile is indispensable. This review article places emphasis on diverse safety pharmacological investigations, specifically cell cytotoxicity assays, conducted to assess the potential adverse effects of silver microemulsion on human cells. Additionally, this review highlights other pharmacological methodologies aimed at ensuring safety prior to efficacy testing and subsequent formulation development of an appropriate preparation.
