Abstract
Since the last decade, research has been underway to discover natural substances with therapeutic properties that can be exploited to treat a variety of ailments and enhance human health. One class of amphiphilic compounds of microbial origin that can interact with lipid membranes and other components of microorganisms and alter their physicochemical properties are biosurfactants. Due to this feature, biosurfactants are being studied more closely as prospective novel medications with potential uses in the clinical and therapeutic domains. The current review addresses biosurfactants' antimicrobial, antiviral, antibiofilm, and anticancer characteristics as well as their potential use in drug delivery systems.
