Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) are at the forefront of the pharmaceutical industry today and have been rekindled as natural drugs with innovative techniques. However, many factors related to their volatility and deterioration can be captured by encapsulation. The nanoencapsulation of EO is a novel development to protect EOs from environmental factors in order to retain their biochemical and pharmacological properties, thus leading toward sustainable health advancement. Nanoencapsulation of essential oil (EO) is a fascinating technique to solve the instability problem of EOs in the presence of light, air, moisture, and temperature variations. In addition to this, this process ensures safer handling with controlled release, along with improved efficacy and bioavailability. This review outlines the most outstanding methods for the nanoencapsulation of EOs and their mechanism of action against disease pathogenesis.
期刊介绍：
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
