Phytosomes in Novel Drug Delivery System

Herbal products have shown a wide range of therapeutic benefits in
the management of many health conditions. However, the clinical
effectiveness of several phytoconstituents is often limited because of
poor solubility, low absorption, instability, and reduced
bioavailability. These limitations restrict the efficient delivery of plant-
derived compounds in the body. To overcome such challenges, novel
drug delivery systems have been developed, among which
phytosomes have emerged as a promising approach. Phytosomes are
complexes formed between plant active constituents and
phospholipids, commonly phosphatidylcholine, which improve the
lipid compatibility and membrane permeability of herbal compounds.
This interaction facilitates better absorption through biological
membranes and enhances overall bioavailability.
