Bioactive-Loaded Nanomedicine for the Management of Health and Disease

The new book focuses on the use of natural active substances and nutraceuticals in nano-research for improved healthcare management and applications. It explores advanced nanomaterials that can be utilized for the encapsulation of nutrients, vitamins, and phytoconstituents for effective healthcare results. The chapters discuss the apparent remarkable advantages of using new bioactive and nutraceutical drugs compared to conventional plant action formulations and extracts. These new formulations offer improved solubility, bioavailability, simultaneous drug delivery, safety extension, long-term delivery, better dissemination of tissue macrophages, security against toxicity, increase in pharmacological activity, and enhanced physical and chemical protection. With chapters from leading scientists from around the world, this volume highlights these new developments in nano-based medicines for the treatment of cancer, psychotic and manic disorders, and chronic inflammation, such as arthritis and psoriasis, as well as for other healthcare issues, such as skin diseases and skin care, atherosclerosis, and more. A variety of nanoformulations is discussed, including polymeric nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanoemulsions, transferosomes and ethosomes, liposomes, lipospheres, lipid polymers, hybrid nanoparticles, etc.

Key features:

• Reviews phyto-actives and their targeted action in the management of various cancers
• Looks at the use of phytochemical-based nano-cosmeceuticals for beautification
• Explores emerging concepts of vitamins and nanocarriers as nutraceuticals
• Discusses the advantages of bioactive-loaded nanomedicines over conventional phytotherapies

Bioactive-Loaded Nanomedicine for the Management of Health and Disease will be of great use and provide insight to phytochemists, nanoscientists, nano-biotechnologists, and others involved in the field of healthcare systems.
