The development of nanotechnology interests the research for synthesis of nanoparticles with various bio-applications. The green synthesis of copper nanoparticles using Momordica charantia and Ixora coccinea act as both reducing and capping agents. Copper nanoparticles have attracted huge attention due to catalytic, optical, photonic, antibacterial activity depending on the basis of size and shape. It is eco-friendly, non toxic and cost effective approach. Formation of copper nanoparticles has been confirmed by anti bacterial, anti fungal and phytochemical analysis. The antimicrobial activity of CuNps was established using disc diffusion and agar well method. The CuNps new eco-friendly approach of synthesis is a novel, cheap and convenient technique for large scale commercial production.
