Phytoconstituents have been utilized as medicines for thousands of years, yet their application is limited owing to major hurdles like deficit lipid solubility, large molecular size and degradation in the gastric environment of gut. To overcome this hurdle, Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) proves to be a promising method for formulations containing phytoconstituents. In present work, phyto-phospholipids complex (phytosomes) of Euphorbia neriifolia L. has been prepared to improve the absorption and bioavailability of phytoconstituents. Euphorbia neriifolia L. consists of flavonoids, saponins and polyphenols which possess various medicinal properties. These constituents are hydrophilic in nature and have large molecular size, thus causing poor absorption. Phyto-phospholipids complex of Euphorbia neriifoliahas been prepared by taking Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Cholesterol and Euphorbia neriifolia extract in different ratio and the formulation been optimized to achieve maximum entrapment efficiency and smaller molecular size. The prepared phytosomes has been evaluated by Optical Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering and UV/Vis Spectroscopy for physical appearance, entrapment efficiency, particle size, zeta potential and dissolution rate. The result so obtained indicates the improvement in the absorption rate and bioavailability of the phytoconstituents. Thus, Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) possess a great potential in overcoming the challenges of plant based formulations.

Abstract: For the past few years, there has been a considerable research on the basis of Novel drug delivery system, using particulate vesicle systems as such drug carriers for small and large molecules. Nanoparticles, Liposomes, Microspheres, Niosomes, Pronisomes, Ethosomes, Proliposomes have been used as drug carrier in vesicle drug delivery system. Nanotechnology refers to the creation and utilization of materials whose constituents exist at the nanoscale; and, by convention, be up to 100 nm in size.. Nanoparticles are being used for diverse purposes, from medical treatments, using in various branches of industry production such as solar and oxide fuel batteries for energy storage, to wide incorporation into diverse materials of everyday use such as cosmetics or clothes, optical devices, catalytic, bactericidal, electronic, sensor technology, biological labelling and treatment of some cancers. Various polymers have been used in the formation of Nanoparticles. Nanoparticles have been improving the therapeutic effect of drugs and minimize the side effects. Basically, Nanoparticles have been prepared by using various techniques as such dispersion of preformed polymers, polymerization of monomers and ionic gelation or coacervation of hydrophilic polymer. Nanoparticles have been evaluated by using parameters of drug entrapment efficiency, particle shape, drug release study. Keywords: Nanoparticles, Drug, novel, delivery

Herbal medicines have tremendous therapeutic potential that can explored across various effective drug delivery system. Decoctions, herbal teas, tinctures, glyceritum, oxymel, and use much soap, herbal tablets, herbal capsules, and herbal cream, herbal books, and prepared the confection of the most commonly available forms of dosage. The less use of herbal formulations in recent decades due to their lack of standardization. It is possible to use plant extract and isolated constituents to overcome this problem. But these phytoconstituents are suffering from drawbacks, mostly due to problems with stability and low lipid solubility. Novel drug delivery such as liposomes plays an important role in problem solving. Infact, compliance with the patient also improves. The review article discusses the recent status of new herbal liposomal formulations and describes the different ways in which these formulations are prepared.
