Elaeagnus Caspica Plant and Prospects for Obtaining
Medicinal Nanoparticles From it
Abstract
This review article provides comprehensive research information on the morphophysiological properties, phytochemical composition, pharmacological properties, applications in various diseases, and nanoparticles synthesized from the extracts of the fruits and flowers of the Elaeagnus caspica tree, known as a medicinal plant. The flowers and fruits of the Elaeagnus caspica tree have been extensively studied in recent years due to their numerous pharmacological effects. They contain a variety of biologically active compounds with biomedical potential. The tincture made from freshly ripe fruits of the tree is used in hemopathy, while its flowers are used in folk medicine for edema, scurvy, as an anthelmintic, to relieve colitis, and heart diseases. The leaves of the tree are used to reduce rheumatism and dull pain, and are also included in wound healing ointments. The fruits are used as additives in culinary dishes. Additionally, the leaves and flowers are used to create astringents for treating digestive system issues. A 5-12-year-old Elaeagnus caspica tree has shown promising potential for medicinal nanoparticle synthesis.
