Phytosome as Nanomedicine: Revolutionizing Herbal Drug DeliveryPhytosome as Nanomedicine: Revolutionizing Herbal Drug Delivery | Chapter 5 | Pharmaceutical Research: Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 7 | Chapter 5 | Pharmaceutical Research: Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 7

Through the ages, people have employed phytoconstituents extracted from medicinal plants to address a diverse array of ailments, including diabetes, malignancies, and inflammatory illnesses. Although phytochemicals have medicinal promise, their bioavailability and effectiveness are often limited due to their hydrophilic nature and large molecular size. The book's current chapter delves into the novel medication delivery system known as phytosomes, which improves the absorption and utilization of polar phytoconstituents that do not dissolve in lipids. The body can absorb phytosomes more effectively; they require less medicine, and they continuously release active substances, making them a promising alternative to traditional herbal preparations. Clinical trials on formulations based on phytosomes that contain quercetin and silybin have shown that they are very good at fighting cancer and cholesterol. The results indicate that phytosomes serve as a connection between traditional herbal medicine and contemporary pharmacology, providing improved pharmacological characteristics and therapeutic effects in different organ systems. Additional research on the clinical use of phytosomes is required because of their rapid rise to prominence as an option for the advancement of nutraceuticals and therapeutic medicines.
