ABSTRACT:
Nanotechnology represents a promising advancement in drug development, particularly in enhancing the delivery of herbal medicines. The unique properties of nanoparticles facilitate their recycling and targeted action, enabling the effective delivery of herbal remedies that often suffer from poor solubility and bioavailability due to gastrointestinal degradation. Traditional herbal medicines, rooted in ancient treatment practices, face challenges such as standardization and improved formulation methodologies. Recent research has explored various nanocarrier systems, including polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes, achieving better drug-targeting efficacy, reduced side effects, and improved therapeutic outcomes. Biologically active phytochemicals have shown promise in cancer treatments, leveraging their antioxidant properties. Current methods for preparing nanopharmaceuticals include complex coacervation, co-precipitation, and solvent emulsification-diffusion, each contributing to the efficient encapsulation and delivery of active ingredients. However, the use of nanoparticles poses health risks that warrant further exploration. While nanoparticles have potential therapeutic applications, their complex interactions with biological systems necessitate extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy. The future of nanomedicine revolves around overcoming these obstacles, with prospects for innovative drug delivery systems that can transform therapeutic practices. Sustainable biosynthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts is gaining attention, demonstrating faster synthesis and desirable morphological characteristics. Additionally, advances in characterization techniques are critical in evaluating nanoparticle properties and functionality. Ultimately, the integration of nanotechnology in herbal medicine holds significant potential, but careful consideration of safety and environmental impact is paramount for successful application in the healthcare sector.
