Abstract :

Phytosomes are an innovative drug delivery system designed to address the limitations of conventional methods, particularly in the context of herbal medicines. Historically valued for their safety and efficacy, herbal remedies are increasingly being revisited for modern therapeutic applications. Phytosomes represent a unique complex formed by the interaction of plant-derived bioactive compounds and phospholipids, offering enhanced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties over traditional herbal formulations. These advanced formulations improve the absorption and bioavailability of phytoconstituents, many of which are water-soluble, such as flavonoids, yet demonstrate poor oral absorption due to their hydrophilic nature. By encapsulating these bioactive compounds within a lipid-compatible matrix, phytosomes enable better penetration across biological membranes, significantly enhancing their therapeutic efficacy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, benefits, and mechanisms of phytosomes, exploring their potential to revolutionize the delivery of plant-based therapies. Additionally, the article highlights current market products utilizing phytosome technology, emphasizing their role as a promising advancement in the field of drug delivery.
Keywords: Phytosomes, Phytomedicines, Traditional medicines, phytoconstituents
