Herbosomes: A Potent drug carrier

Abstract

Herbal medications have a wide range of phytochemical ingredients, the majority of which are flavonoids and terpenoids, which have a vivid range of applications. The use of polar phyto-constituents is restricted due to their poor absorption and bioavailability. Poor bioavailability can be overcome by developing a suitable drug delivery system, such as the herbosome (Phospholipids) based drug delivery system, which has been found to be promising for better and more effective drug delivery and can increase the rate and extent of drug absorption across the lipoidal bio-film. Herbosome is one of the phospholipid-based herbal drug delivery systems with a higher absorption and stability profile than the others. The herbosome has the potential to play a critical role in the value delivery of Phyto-constituents like flavonoids, and vitamin E. Herbosomes have a wide range of applications aside from homegrown diets and beauty care products. As a result of their medicinal use, several locations of herbosomes will be discovered in the future.

Emerging Techniques for Herbosomes

“…Herbosomes, formed by loading phytoconstituents into phospholipids, exhibit improved physical stability due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between phospholipids and phytoconstituents. This enhances the absorption of hydrophilic polar phytoconstituents, leading to increased bioavailability and greater therapeutic benefits [9]. Herbosomes represent an innovative formula of botanicals and phytoconstituents, exhibiting enhanced absorption through both oral and transdermal routes when encapsulated with phosphatidylcholine.…”
