Frangipani
Plumeria
Plumeria is a genus of flowering plants native to tropical regions. There are no traditional uses recorded for Plumeria in any known medical or cultural practices. Scientific evidence suggests that green silver nanoparticles synthesized from Plumeria can improve the vase life and physiological traits of cut Alstroemeria flowers, indicating potential applications in flower preservation. Additionally, extracts from various species of Plumeria have shown varying degrees of larvicidal activity against mosquitoes, specifically Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, which may suggest possible uses in mosquito control strategies. Furthermore, LPPp (likely an abbreviation for a specific compound or extract) from Plumeria pudica has been shown to reduce liver injury markers and inflammation in mice, hinting at potential hepatoprotective properties. The safety profile of Plumeria is currently unremarkable; no major issues have been recorded. There are also no reported drug interactions associated with its use.
