This study explores the medicinal potential of Pergularia daemia (PD), a perennial vine abundant along Indian roadsides, focusing on diverse therapeutic properties of its leaves in traditional medicine. This research investigates its unexplored potential in application of drug delivery and the synthesis of zinc oxide nano-particles from its leaves. PD mediated Zinc Oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitate method. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of PD leaves extract was carried out and the extract showed the presence of carbohydrates, phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids. The synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized by UV – Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction Analysis and scanning electron microscope. The results from characterization suggest that the synthesized compound was ZnO in nano scale which was in oval shape and with high purity. The synthesized zinc oxide nano particle could be a huge application in medical and pharmaceutical field in near future.
