Niosomes as an Effective Phytochemical Nanocarrier: A short review
Keywords:
Niosomes, Method of Preparation, PhytochemicalsAbstract
Niosomes are a new class of nanocarrier systems for the delivery of phytochemicals made from biocompatible, stable, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic encapsulating non-ionic surface-active agents. This review looks at the role that niosomes can play in enhancing the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of the phytochemicals, as well as how they can be used for the therapy of targeted and controlled drug delivery. Nanocarriers are membranes around cells or tissues composed of electronically neutral lipids that protrude from a biological cell membrane and serve to increase efficacy of natural resources. This review looks at the variety of advancements as well as challenges existing in the quest for integrating Phytochemicals using liposomal technology and the perspectives on the way forward in enhancing the efficacy of Phytochemicals through liposomes. These advances also aim at giving a better understanding of this novel drug delivery system
