Formulation and Evaluation of Phytosome, A Novel Biomedicine

Abstract

“Phyto” denotes plant and “some” implies something that resembles a cell. Any herbal medication's efficacy depends on the therapeutically active component being delivered at an effective dosage. But when given orally or through topical treatments, their bioavailability is severely constrained. The novel drug delivery systems called phytosomes have superior bioavailability and effects than traditional phyto compounds or botanicals since they are more absorbed. By binding the standardised plant extract or its contents to phospholipids, primarily phosphatidylcholine, a lipid-compatible molecular complex called a phytosome is created. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of phytosome is superior to those of conventional herbal extracts.
