Drug Delivery Technology: Herbal Bioenhancers in Pharmaceuticals

Ayurveda has long employed bioenhancers, and their pharmaceutical effectiveness is currently being studied. By influencing the medicine’s metabolic process, herbal bioenhancers promote absorption and drug bioavailability in the gastrointestinal tract. Many herbal medications have limited action because of their inappropriate molecular size or inadequate lipid solubility. Among the substances that can improve the bioavailability of active medications are piperine, gingerol, naringin, quercetin, niaziridin, glycyrrhizin, allicin, curcumin, and genistein. This book provides a single, complete text that covers many aspects of herbal bio-enhancers.
