Current Updates On Global Phytoceuticals and Novel Phyto Drug Delivery System In Herbal Medicine

Abstract

The acceptance of the herbal drugs globally is increased in the modern era, is due to its potent active molecules and also its usage as excipients from natural origin in the pharmaceutical industries is remarkable. Due to complex structure, poor solubility, instability and lacuna in the standardization protocol, there is always a hindrance in the usage of herbal medicine at par with modern drugs. The formulation of phytomedicine in the area of Novel drug delivery system should be focused in basic research and also in the clinical trials, to overcome the solubility and bioavailability challenges in the phytoceuticals. This chapter gives the in-depth perception of phytomolecules, formulated in the domain of novel drug delivery system, especially in nano dosage forms in specific to nano-emulsion, methods of formulation, challenges in formulating nano-emulsion including characterization techniques, colon specific drug carriers and the usage of excipients from natural origin in formulation of modern drugs in the pharmaceutical industries globally.
