The objective of the book entitled "Advanced Pharmaceutical Herbal Nanoscience:Targeted Drug Delivery System" is to offer an understanding of various herbal novel drug
delivery systems, their preparations, characterisation and exciting range of applications. Herbal
nanoscience targeted drug delivery system demands a broad range of awareness in novel drug
delivery systems. It is very important to have detailed knowledge and awareness of new
technology or new process about the various herbal nanoscience products and their
composition. The awareness of knowledge about the properties of various herbal constituents
of a nanoformulation is also very important because it decides the determination of the
formulation of the delivery systems and broadly ensures its properties. This book covers a broad
spectrum of herbal nanoscience topics required to appropriately give formulation procedure,
evaluation and applications of herbal drug delivery systems and correlate it with treating many
diseases.
It expresses huge awareness and knowledge regarding advanced pharmaceutical, herbal
nanoscience targeted drug delivery systems in the aspect of the application in drug delivery and
herbal nanomedicine. In addition to this, the book covers all major topics like drug development
issues, adaptation to clinical use, market prospects and industrial commercialization too, which
come under advanced pharmaceutical nanoscience and nanotechnology application. Apart
from the application section, it discusses in detail the safety, herbal nanotechnology, regulatory,
targeting aspects and social scenario of pharmaceutical nanoscience. The book not only focuses
on theoretical knowledge but also considers practical aspects. The book is quite beneficial for
students and researchers across the globe who are indulged in the reading and investigation of
advanced pharmaceutical, herbal nanoscience and related nanotechnology, thereby spreading
awareness all over the globe and promoting anticipated trends in the field of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. The major objective of this initiative is to bring all the fundamental concepts,
target delivery, herbal bioactive, and nanomedicine, all in a common platform that will provide
knowledge about all the possible advanced pharmaceutical, herbal nanoscience drug delivery
systems. Some major chapters to be published in the book include nucleic acid-based
therapeutic, electrosomes, aquasomes, phytosomes, guggulosome, niosomes, self nano/micro
emulsified drug delivery system, the concept of targeted drug delivery system, application of
herbal Bioactive and many more. This valuable resource will make the readers more aware of
novel drug delivery systems as well as their promising applications in drug targeting and
nanotheronostics, thereby improving the pharmaceutical world's situation.It expresses huge awareness and knowledge regarding advanced pharmaceutical, herbal

The book's aim is to provide a single volume covering a detailed description of various herbal
drug delivery systems, their principles and how these are put in use for the treatment of vivid
diseases. The book has been divided into four sections. The first section deals with the
fundamentals of advanced pharmaceutical nanoscience, whereas the second section deals with
a detailed overview of the novel and efficient advanced pharmaceutical nanoscience delivery
systems in the field of pharmaceutical science in which some major topics will be published in
the book, which includes nucleic acid-based therapeutic, electrosomes, aquasomes,
phytosomes, guggulosome, niosomes, self nano/micro emulsified drug, etc. This section is quite
unique as it elaborately describes the major main beliefs and techniques of the preparations of
the herbal drug delivery systems. This furnishes a quite unique and updated coverage of the
essential areas that guide the underlying science behind these therapeutic delivery systems. The
distinguished authors have emphasized on providing a complete insight into the advanced
pharmaceutical nanoscience drug delivery systems with their convenient applications in the
field of herbal nanoscience technology. The third section mainly involves diseases specific to
iii
advanced pharmaceutical nanoscience targeted drug delivery systems like cancer, infectious
diseases, brain diseases, etc. Finally, the fourth and the last section of the book provides the
application of herbal bioactive in pharmaceutical, herbal nanoscience targeted drug delivery
systems.
This advanced book has been designed keeping in mind the young and new researchers and
scientists who are working dedicatedly in the field of health/medicine and the pharmaceutical
sector. This book promises a detailed, informative description of advanced herbal and
absolutely modern pharmaceutical dosage forms and drug delivery systems. The information
furnished in the book is sure to serve society.
