The major amount of active constituents comprises in herbal drugs with excellent bioactivity in vitro but less in vivo because of their poor lipid solubility and improper size of the molecules. This results in poor absorption and bioavailability of active constituents from the herbal extract. Herbosome technology enhances the bioavailability of herbal extracts. Herbosome act as the bridge between the novel delivery system and conventional delivery system. It is a complex of natural active ingredients and phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine etc.) which increases absorption of herbal extract. Herbosome is the novel emerging technique applied to phytopharmaceuticals for the enhancement of bioavailability of herbal extract for medicinal applications. This article overviews about herbosome technology, recent advance, their application for various standardized herbal extracts and aims to provide complete scientific information, characterization about herbosomes as a promising drug delivery system.
Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity ethanolic extracts of stems of the plant Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. (family-Convolvulaceae) along with preliminary phytochemical analysis. Methods:The ethanolic extract of stems of the plant Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. (family-Convolvulaceae) were prepared and analyzed for phytochemical constituents using standard methods. The antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts was examined against 2 bacterial strains among one is gram positive and other is gram negative and 2 fungus using agar well diffusion method.Results: The present experiment shows the phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract of stems of the plant Ipomoea aquatic Forsk. (Family-Convolvulaceae). Various phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponin, flavonoids, carbohydrates, glycosides, Steroids, proteins and amino acids and tannins. All the extracts of the plant showed antimicrobial activity against most of the test organisms. Conclusion:The present study concluded that ethanolic extract of stems of the plant Ipomoea aquatica Forsk. Contain the high presence of phytochemical. The ethanolic extract of the plant was found to possess promising antimicrobial activity when compared with the standards.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
