A review on herbal drug loaded into pharmaceutical carrier techniques and its evaluation process

Abstract

Background: The herbal drug is molded in nanocarriers to boost growing interest in a pharmaceutical era for various fields in sort to amplify therapeutic worth. Nowadays, a promising interest has been developed in nanotechnology using herbal medicines as core material to provoke its activity on the target site. Main body: By administering herbal medicine in the nano-size form, there are chances for improving the bioavailability, binding receptor selectivity due to higher active surface energy thereby enhancing the effectiveness and safety of the active entity. In the last few decades, formulations with nano-sized herbal active ingredients have emerged as nano-phytomedicines owing to its wide range of interest and effectiveness because of its unique nature. Nanonized drug delivery structure of herbal drug has an approaching outlook for getting bigger the doings and overcome problems associated with plant medicine. The current review will focus on nanoparticles, herbal drug-loading techniques, herbal nanoformulations, and applications in various fields. Conclusion: We conclude that by formulating herbal drug in nanocarriers would be a promising guide for the progress of core remedy and will act as a promising proposal for many pathological conditions.

Uncovering the Anticancer Potential of Lichen Secondary Metabolites

“…Another way to increase the bioavailability of the tested lichen metabolites is to use nanocarriers. Herbal medicine is often used with nanocarriers to boost their therapeutic impact [67]. Diverse nanostructures such as lipid nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, nanomicelles, and carbon nanotubes or different delivery systems, including lactoferrin, can significantly increase the bioavailability, effectiveness, enhance stability, and improve pharmacokinetics of many compounds [68].…”

Prospects of Integration of Nanotechnology to Antimalarial Herbal Remedies for Improved Therapeutic Efficacy – A Concise Review

“…The literature is replete with reviews on nanosystems, materials and techniques used in their formulations (Patra et al, 2018;Onyeji 2018;Sandhiya & Ubaidulla, 2020]. Table 1 shows examples of the nanosystems used for drug delivery with their compositions while schematic representations of their structures are depicted in Fig.…”

Could Nanotechnology Help to End the Fight Against COVID-19? Review of Current Findings, Challenges and Future Perspectives

“…This brings potential herbal drug-loaded pharmaceutical carriers for alternative and complementary medicine to the modern system which can push the fight against many chronic and pandemic global issues like COVID-19 one step forward. 146 , 147 Since the occurrence of COVID-19, diverse traditional medicines have been used alone or in combination with the conventional management systems. These herbal extracts may possess anti-SARS-CoV-2 actions by disrupting the viral life-cycle that can be a promising preventive and therapeutic alternative to the pandemic.…”
