Over the past several years, great advances have been made in developing novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) for plant actives and extracts. Various novel herbal formulations such as polymeric nanoparticles, nanocapsules, liposomes, phytosomes, animations, microsphere, transfersomes, and ethosomes have been reported using proactive and plant selections. The novel formulations are reported to have remarkable 0 advantages over conventional formulations of plant actives and extracts, which include a cement of solubility, bioavailability, protection from toxicity, enhancement of pharmacological activity, enhancement of stability, improved tissue macrophages distribution, sustained delivery, and protection from physical and chemical degradation. Phytosome is a patented technology developed by a leading maker of drugs and nutraceuticals to incorporate standardized plant extracts or water-soluble phytoconstituents into phospholipids to produce lipid‑compatible molecular complexes. The herbal drugs can be used in a more upright course with enhanced efficacy by incorporating them into modern dosage forms. The present review highlights the current status of developing novel herbal formulations. It summarizes their preparation method, type of active ingredients, size, entrapment efficiency, route...

Brugmanisa suaveolens, also known as the angel’s trumpet and a member of the Solanaceae family, is found throughout Asia, India, Europe, Australia, and North and South America. This study looks at current information on the distribution, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of Brugmansia suaveolens (Solanaceae) utilizing the extracts or chemical compounds at this time, as found in various search engines. This plant has been used in traditional medicine throughout cultures as a muscle relaxant, nematicide, aphrodisiac, hallucinogen, and treatment for inflammation, rheumatism, asthma, and allergies. Hyoscyamine, a tropane alkaloid, is a key bioactive component of the plant with anticancer action. Additionally, hazardous consequences such as severe anticholinergic symptoms like delirium, hallucinations, and psychosis may be caused by this herb. Different chemical substances have been detected in the plant’s flowers, fruits, stems, and roots, including alkaloids, volatile chemicals (mostly terpenes), coumarins, flavonoids, steroids, and hydrocarbons. Atropine and scopolamine are primarily responsible for the plant’s toxicity. According to pharmacological research, an aqueous extract has an antinociceptive impact on mice. The ethanolic extract,...
