Abstract

A clever conveyance strategy known as “Phytosome innovation” has been developed to grant phospholipid and water-solvent phytoconstituent the ability to work together synergistically. The phospholipid particle, composed of two fat-dissolvable tails and a water-soluble head, plays a crucial role in this process. Acting as an emulsifying specialist, it utilizes its dual solvency characteristics to facilitate the combination with organic extracts. The result of this combination is the enhancement of the bioavailability of lipid-solvent medications, enabling faster and more effective absorption. The significance of this article lies in its concise overview of both an original medication delivery system and vesicular medication delivery systems. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of various aspects, including the introduction and explanation of Phytosome, the benefits and disadvantages associated with this delivery strategy, important properties to consider, methods for preparation, characterization techniques, and the wide array of applications it offers in the field of medicine. It is hoped that this expanded content will assist readers in acquiring a deeper understanding of Phytosome innovation and its potential implications in improving drug delivery efficiency.
