Medicinal Plant Nanoformulations

This book explores the field of medicinal plant nanoformulations, where plant extracts or active compounds are encapsulated in nanoparticles to enable targeted drug delivery and controlled release. It begins by discussing medicinal plant nanoformulations and the limitations of traditional herbal medicine, followed by an overview of the fundamentals of nanotechnology in medicine. The book covers nanoencapsulation techniques, bioavailability enhancement, and targeted drug delivery systems, detailing their mechanisms, in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as current challenges related to scalability and regulatory aspects.

• Covers a range of emerging topics in medicinal plants, pharmacology, drug delivery, and health applications based on nanoformulations
• Discusses various nano-based drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanoemulsions
• Reviews the mechanisms and benefits of targeted drug delivery using nanotechnology
• Details methods to enhance the stability of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants through nanoformulation
• Explores how nanoformulations can significantly improve the bioavailability of medicinal plant compounds

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in biotechnology, nanotechnology, medicinal plants, and pharmacology.
