erbal medicines have widely been used all over the
world since time immemorial. In recent years, there was
unprecedented development in herbal medicines as they gain
popularity in the developed world. Recently there was a greater
global interest in non-synthetic, natural drugs derived from plant/
herbal sources due to better tolerance and minimum adverse
drug reactions. Plants have been used in a wide variety of
dosage form. Traditional dosage form includes pill, powder, semi
fluid extract, tincture, decoction, medicated tea, solutions and
many other traditional/alternative systems of medicine dosage
forms. In past, novel drug delivery approaches were not applied
to herbal medicines owing to lack of scientific validation and
processing difficulties, such as adulteration, standardization,
extraction, purification and identification of marker compounds
in complex poly-herbal dosage form. In present scenario due to
advancement in interdisciplinary sciences and novel strategy in
isolation, purification and identification techniques the variety
of novel herbal formulations like polymeric herbal nano-carriers,
phytosomes, herbosomes, proniosomes, nanoemulsions,
microsphere, transfersomes, implants and ethosomes has
been reported using bioactive plant extracts/phytoconstituents.
These novel formulations were found to have remarkable
advantages over conventional formulations of plant origin such
as enhancement of solubility, bioavailability, reduced toxicity,
improved pharmacological activity, better stability, sustained
delivery, and protection from physical and chemical degradation.
Recently, many formulations based on novel drug delivery system
are produced by patented/non-patented technology from various
herbal drugs/phytoconstituents such as curcumin, quercetin,
silybin, bilobalide, marsupsin, andrographolide, coumestans,
metrine, embelin, brucine, rutin, apigenin, luteolin andmany more.
