Green Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Nanoparticles Using Vinca Rosea: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract: The Green Synthesis Of Metal Nanoparticles (Mnps) Using Plant-Based Materials Has Emerged As A Sustainable And Eco-Friendly Alternative To Traditional Physical And Chemical Methods. Various Medicinal Plants Have Been Utilized During This Process, Including Species From The Vinca Genus, Specifically Vinca Rosea And Vinca Minor. Vinca Plants Are Highlighted In The Literature Due To The Variety Of Phytochemicals Enabling The Facilitation Of Nanoparticle Biosynthesis Including Flavonoids And Alkaloids, Tannins, And Phenolic Compounds Acting As Reducing And Stabilizing Agents During Biosynthesis. The Systematic Review Also Provides A Comprehensive Evaluation Of Existing Literature That Discusses Biosynthesizes And Characterizations Of Metal Nanoparticles From Sources Of Vinca Species. The Review Discusses The Various Biosynthesized Methods Including Standards Such As Ambient And Microwave-Assisted, Along With Other Parameters Affecting The Morphologies Of Nanoparticles Including Temperature, Ph, And Concentration Of The Extract. Synthesis Characterization Techniques Highlighted By This Review Includes UV–Visible Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), And Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Vinca Rosea Silver Nanoparticles (Agnps) Generated Notable Interest, Being The Most Studied Literature. Agnps From Vinca Rosea Undergo Spherical Morphology Development With Average Particle Sizes Were Between 10 And 100 Nm. While The Current Findings Are Promising, The Review Also Identifies Several Research Gaps, Including Limited Standardization Across Studies And Insufficient Understanding Of The Specific Phytochemical Roles. Overall, Vinca-Mediated Metal Nanoparticle Synthesis Presents A Green And Effective Approach With Considerable Promise For Future Biomedical And Industrial Applications.
