PHYTO SOMES: A NOVEL PHYTO-PHOSPHOLIPID CARRIERS FOR HERBAL DRUG DELIVERY
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Advanced biochemical and pre-clinical studies have proved the potential of plant flavonoids, polyphenolics and other hydrophilic natural compounds for the treatment of skin disorders, different types of carcinoma, anti-aging and many other areas of therapeutics and preventive medicine. The hydrophilic nature and unique chemical structure of these compounds pose major challenge because of their poor bioavailability through the skin or gut. The bioavailability can be improved by the use of delivery systems, which can enhance the rate and the extent of drug solubilizing into aqueous intestinal fluids as well as the capacity to cross the lipid rich biomembranes. Phospholipid based drug delivery systems have been found promising for the effective and efficacious herbal drug delivery. Complexing the polyphenolic phytoconstituents in molar ratio with phosphatidylcholine results into a new herbal drug delivery system- "Phytosome". Phytosomes show better pharmacokinetic and therapeutic profile than conventional herbal extracts.
