Plants grown in their natural environment can be consumed as food and are frequently used for medicinal purposes. Anchusa azurea is a plant widely used for medicinal purposes with its diuretic and wound healing properties. Studies conducted with various Anchusa species have demonstrated antiinflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects. It is known that these properties are due to the phenolic compounds found in the plant. Recent studies include the production of nanoparticles (NPs) via green synthesis using the reducing effects of phenolic compounds obtained from plants. NPs can be produced by physical, chemical, and green synthesis routes. NP production by green synthesis is more preferred than the other routes due to its non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and economical properties. Elements such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) are used in NP production by green synthesis. Nanoparticles obtained from copper oxide (CuONPs) are frequently used in textiles, various dyes, food storage containers, and personal care products. In addition, CuONPs have recently been in the spotlight due to their potential in cellular targeting and drug delivery due to their magnetic properties. The research on CuONPs has also revealed that they have biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Within the scope of our study, it was aimed to obtain CuONPs from the leaf extract of Anchusa azurea. The leaf extract of Anchusa azurea was prepared with water. The prepared extract was subjected to a redox reaction with CuSO₄ for 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours, a color change from light brown to dark brown was observed. After the UV-Vis measurements, the peak of CuONPs was detected at 288 nm. The characterization and biological activities of CuONPs obtained from Anchusa azurea leaves will be determined by further studies.
