ABSTRACT

The production of nanoparticles from plant species is of great interest now a days as they exhibit important characteristic features of possessing antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The review study focuses on a green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles which avoid the usage of hazardous substances, reducing agents, or chemically synthesized protecting substances. This process utilizes accessible components found in nature. This environmentally friendly method of synthesizing metallic nanoparticles has gained popularity based on its non-toxic nature, cost-effectiveness, and ecological benefits. In this particular study, Actinodaphne madraspatana, a plant belonging to the Lauraceae family and native to India, is used as both a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent in metallic nanoparticle synthesis. The traditional treatment carried out by the leaves of this plant are mental illness, diabetes, and wounds. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles by Actinodaphne madraspatana and their diverse therapeutic applications. The characterization of metallic nanoparticles produced by this plant help in understanding the properties, probable applications and behavior of the nanoparticles. The review also explores the morphological and phytochemical studies of the Actinodaphne madraspatana plant. Therefore, this study may provide the high production and use of nanoparticles from the Actinodaphne madraspatana plant to treat severe diseases.
