Abstract
The basic idea behind is to exploit nanotechnology in drug delivery system where the drug is delivered in nanosized figure via non-toxic vehicles that trap and both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of drugs are exploited for better results in traditional medicine. Modern pharmaceutical science has developed several novel drug delivery systems like liposomes, phytosomes, micropellets, transferosomes, ethosomes, niosomes, and proniosomes, etc. Mode of drug delivery will affect its efficacy significantly. At a certain concentration, the drugs give the optimum results and below which shows decreased therapeutics or no therapeutic efficacy at all. Drug delivery systems combine pharmaceutics, chemistry, and molecular biology. The conventional systems of medicines are having good therapeutic effects but their limitations fail to give desired concentration in blood. Thus NDDHS has the advantage to enhance the therapeutics by increases bioavailability, increased stability and many more. Novel drug delivery technique when assimilated in herbal active ingredients decreases the loss of therapeutic dosage via liver metabolism and reduces drug doses by converting the drug into nanosized form, which is more effective even at low doses, transfers drug to site of action with good bioavailability, sustained delivery and increased stability and Enhancement of pharmacological activity. Thus herbs can be used in a more advanced and scientific manner to change them into modern dosage formulations. This present review paper is to pen down the present novel drug herbal formulations with their active ingredients and application of novel drug formulations.
