Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditional medicines and natural products from plant and animal sources require pharmaceutic formulation techniques and understanding of disposition able to overcome barriers, using carriers for bioavailability, solubility and stability issues and the possibility of formulating using delivery systems with controlled release rates. On these bases, traditional medicines and natural products and their dosage forms can represent effective therapeutic platforms for disease. The active molecules need to be formulated to achieve optimal efficacy. Most of the applied techniques include robust analytical method development and the study of delivery systems.
This Special Issue will cover different aspects of the delivery and disposition of traditional medicines and natural products as a means to control or modify the release of natural substances in traditional, contemporary and advanced delivery systems. Since clinical efficacies and toxicities have been reported to be improved by the formulation of the bioavailability of traditional medicines and natural products, release kinetics, stability concerns, taste masking, and overcoming natural barriers including the skin will be discussed.
