Abstract

Plant-derived natural products, also known as phytochemicals, are one of the most important sources of drug discovery. Due to their wide abundance in nature and structural diversity, various phytochemicals are gaining research interest for the discovery and development of effective therapeutic agents for various diseases, including lung diseases. Bioavailability and metabolism have been the main limiting factors for the effective use of these phytochemicals. In recent years, various novel drug delivery systems, including nanoformulations, have been evaluated for the effective delivery of these phytochemicals. This chapter will cover research related to the potential use of phytochemicals (e.g., polyphenols, alkaloids, steroids) and their nanoformulations in lung diseases.
