A Novel Targeted Drug Delivery Carrier: Herbosomes

Abstract

Herbosomes have been modified liposomes that can encapsulate botanical extracts and medicinal substances, improving stability, bioavailability, and targeted administration in herbal medicine. A ribosome or similar drug delivery system can improve the absorption rate and amount of drug that cross the lipoidal biofilm, thus overcoming bioavailability issues. Herbosomes, which are herbal drugs based on phospholipids, offer better stability and absorption profiles than other drug delivery systems. Many critical hepatoprotective phytoconstituents, including xanthones, terpenes, and flavones, play roles in effective medication delivery. To achieve therapeutic purposes, such as cardiovascular, antibacterial, dermatological, neurological, anti-inflammatory, chemotherapy for cancer, and health as nutraceuticals, herbosomes can be produced. Twelve characterization procedures and analytical techniques can be adjusted for innovative formulation through particle size evaluation, membrane permeability, percentage entrapped solutes, and drug release. Herbosomes can be used in dentifrices, medicinal gels, and other local delivery methods. In light of rising concerns about medication dependency and safety, and where modern medicine fails to address complex illnesses, people choose traditional treatments with modern technology, such as nano-formulation, for better outcomes with no side effects and a goal to target spot.
