摘要

Echinacea species, particularly Echinacea purpurea, provide bioactives with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and immunomodulatory actions, yet clinical utility is constrained by poor stability and bioavailability. This PRISMA-guided systematic review searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect from inception to 15 December 2024 and included 22 eligible studies evaluating Echinacea-derived nanoparticles and nanoformulations. Platforms comprised Ag, Au, ZnO, FeOOH, polymeric, lipid, and hybrid systems characterized by UV–Vis, FTIR, SEM/TEM, XRD, and HPLC. Across studies, nanoformulation improved bioactive retention, bioavailability, targeting, and pathogen inhibition, with frequent reports of immune support and wound-healing benefits. Standardization, safety, and clinical trials remain essential for safe clinical translation.
