Application of nanotechnology in improving druggability of active ingredients of Chinese materia medica / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology has broad prospects and great potential in improving the druggability of active ingredients of Chinese materia medica (CMM). This article systematically summarized the methods and advantages of nanotechnology in improving oral absorption, changing the distribution in the body, increasing the targeting ability, and improving transdermal and mucous membrane absorption of active ingredients of CMM. In addition, we analyzed the problems in the development of improving the druggability of active ingredient of CMM by nanotechnology, put forward the strategies for solving these problems, and discussed the research prospects.
