Abstract

Oxalis corniculata, a widely used herb in traditional medicine. The review discusses the plant's rich phytochemical composition, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to its extensive biological activities. The antibacterial potential of Oxalis corniculata is highlighted, with studies demonstrating its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria. The review also explores the use of nano formulations of Oxalis corniculata, which enhance its antibacterial activity through precise manipulation of materials at the nanoscale. Additionally, the hepatoprotective properties of Oxalis corniculata are discussed, including its ability to protect liver cells against oxidative stress and inflammation. The review concludes that Oxalis corniculata holds great promise in the development of novel therapeutic agents against bacterial infections and liver diseases.
