“…A great encapsulation platform for the nanoformulation of nutraceuticals in the future, phytosomes are a promising candidate for bringing herbal polyphenols into cancer treatment and other diseases. Based on these findings, it has also been shown that phytosomes absorb phytomaterials much better than liposomes; they are also superior to liposomes in skin care products (Saleemi & Lim, 2022).…”

The long and rich history of herbal therapeutic nutrients is fascinating. It is incredible to think about how ancient civilizations used plants and herbs to treat various ailments and diseases. One group of bioactive phytochemicals that has gained significant attention recently is dietary polyphenols. These compounds are commonly found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, spices, nuts, drinks, legumes, and grains. Despite their incredible therapeutic properties, one challenge with polyphenols is their poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability. This means that they are not easily absorbed by the body when consumed in essential diets. Because of structural complexity, polyphenols with high molecular weight cannot be absorbed in the small intestine and after arriving in the colon, they are metabolized by gut microbiota. However, researchers are constantly working on finding solutions to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of these compounds. This study aims to address this issue by applying nanotechnology approaches to overcome the challenges of the therapeutic application of dietary polyphenols. This combination of nanotechnology and phytochemicals could cause a completely new field called nanophytomedicine or herbal nanomedicine.

Contamination of surfaces has long been identified as a significant factor in viral transmission. Therefore, sustained efforts are required to address this issue. This work aims to build a scientific database on nano-sized metal oxides as intelligent materials for surface disinfection against corona viruses, synthesize and characterize nano-sized MgO, and discuss the possibility of using it in virus eradication. The MgO nanoparticle was prepared through the heating method. Meanwhile, XRD diffractometer, Scan electron microscope, and nitrogen adsorption were used to characterize the MgO nanoparticle. The synthesized MgO nanoparticle showed an average crystallite size of 18.55nm, lattice strain 0.0053, surface area 27.56 m2/g and d-spacing 2.1092. The outcomes of this review highlight the advantage and challenges of AgO, CuO, ZnO, TiO2 and MgO nanoparticles and their utilization for surface disinfection against coronaviruses.

“…Nanophytosome (NP) technology is a kind of nanocarrier for drug delivery mechanisms to improve the bioavailability of phytochemical-derived nutraceuticals in food and pharmaceutical industries [1] . It is an herb/plant based vesicular delivery system that is more easily absorbed by the biological system than traditional extracts [2] . Traditional herbal medicines used for various medicinal purposes result in poor bioactivity, lipid solubility and incorrect molecular size, resulting in poor absorption and bioavailability.…”
