Exploring nanoformulation drug delivery of herbal actives for enhanced therapeutic efficacy: A comprehensive review

Abstract

Background

In this present review we have focused on nanoformulation drug delivery approach to deliver active drug constituents. As it can minimizes the limitations associated with conventional therapies such as rapid gastric emptying, high surface area, site specific controlled drug delivery high cellular uptake, improved bioavailability, cost effectiveness, patient compliance, and improved therapeutic efficacy of drug along with reduction in systemic and local toxicity by governing the drug release behaviour.

Purpose

Over the years, nanoparticles have emerged as an amazing dosage form owing to their advantages such as permeability across barriers, controlled drug release and higher stability. They can be linked to specific ligands which can allow the development of targeted therapies. Hence, targeted treatments of nanoformulations for asthma and sepsis may help to maximize therapeutic benefit and helps to lower their severity.

Conclusion

This review highlights the nanoformulations and their potential application in drug delivery. Mechanism of action of various phytoconstituents such as flavonoids and triterpenoids is also discussed. The flavonoid as well as triterpenoid loaded nanoparticles seems to be a promising drug delivery systems, especially on account of account of its management in inflammatory diseases.
