ABSTRACT

This review explores the green synthesis of nanoparticles utilizing the traditional medicinal plant Crossandra infundibuliformis, commonly known as the Firecracker Flower, and highlights its various applications. It emphasizes an ecofriendly, sustainable approach that leverages plant extracts for nanoparticle creation, steering clear of harmful conventional chemical methods. The bioactive compounds in Crossandra infundibuliformis, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, act as natural reducing and stabilizing agents for eco-friendly nanoparticle synthesis, resulting in antibacterial and antioxidant properties with potential biomedical and environmental applications. This review also explores the prospective uses of these green synthesized nanoparticles in fields such as drug delivery and environmental remediation. By merging traditional medicinal practices with modern nanotechnology, this review offers a thorough understanding of the green synthesis method and its promising implications for future research and development in sustainable nanomaterials.
