Application of pharmaceutical nanotechnology (nanomedicines) for plant actives and extracts, is gaining a tremendous growth and interest among the scientists. This emerging herbal revolution has headed towards the development of another approaches for the delivery of poorly soluble herbal bioactives and plant extracts for enhancing their bioavailability and efficacy. In the same context, a majority of pharmaceutical nanotechnologies and targeting strategies including phytosomes, nanoparticles, hydrogels, microspheres, transferosomes and ethosomes, self nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), self micro emulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) has been applied for the delivery of bioactives and plant extracts and were identified and explored. These pharmaceutical nanotechnologies have been proven to be the most efficient and reliable delivery systems, as these enhance the solubility, absorption, pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and provide protection from toxicity. Considering these aspects, the present review highlights the present scenario related to the expansion of novel herbal formulations utilizing the nanotechnologies and compilation of their delivery types and mechanism, methodology, loaded drug, drug size, entrapment efficiency of drug, in vivo activity and its application. Moreover, this review article provides an understanding of therapeutic efficacy of the herbal medicines to be loaded into the novel drug delivery system for various biomedical applications.
