MEDICINAL APPLICATIONS OF BIOSURFACTANTS

The commercial application and use of biosurfactants in clinical or medical field has gaining more attention of the researcher because of their antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial activities, relevant molecules that could be used as therapeutic agents. In spite of that, it’s also used as antiadhesive agents that tremendously work against pathogens that might be used as suitable antiadhesive coating material for the insertional material used in medical field that leads to the reduction in hospital infections without using chemicals and synthetic drugs. They have emerged recently as auspicious molecules because of their novelty and versatility in structure along with other diverse properties which are useful in various therapeutic applications, This review is focussed on the current state of biosurfactant research in therapeutic and biomedical purposes, providing alternative new novel approach towards further upcoming research for the development of various versatile molecules with structural diversity and novelty for more advanced applications.
