ADVANCED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING HERBAL COMPOUND BIOAVAILABILITY AND TARGET DELIVERY

Nanotechnology has emerged as a highly progressive scientific approach in the 21st century. By exploring its association with biomedical sciences, particularly its influence on bioavailability, major developments and current limitations in this domain have been identified. The use of nanotechnology to investigate and enhance the bioavailability of herbal medicines is gaining significant attention. Present evidence shows that nanotechnology is among the fastest-growing and most promising high-tech fields globally, contributing remarkably to the advancement of biological medicine and herbal drug delivery. When herbal compounds are converted into nanosized formulations, their absorption and therapeutic effectiveness can be significantly improved. This has paved the way for the evolution of nano-herbal medicines with superior bioavailability, marking a new milestone in herbal drug innovation. Future breakthroughs are expected through the nano-formulation of key phytochemicals such as nanocurcumin, nanopiperine, nanoberberine, and others.
