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. CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Mahfoozur Rahman, PhD Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Health Science, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (SHUATS), Allahabad, India Mahfoozur Rahman, PhD, is Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Health Science, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (SHUATS), Allahabad, India.
