Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) is defined to the approaches, formulations, technologies, and system which provide a therapeuticamount of drug to the appropriate site in the body. If the novel drug delivery technology is applied in herbal actives and extracts. Itmay help in increasing the efficacy and reducing the side effect of variety of novel herbal formulation like polymeric nanoparticle,nanocapsules, liposomes, nanoemulsion, phytosomes, microsphere and ethosomes has been reported using bioactive and plantextracts. These novel formulations have advantage over the conventional formulations. NDDS include enhancement of solubility,bioavailability, protection against toxicity, enhancement of pharmacological activity and stability, improve tissue macrophagedistribution and protection against chemical degradation. The most important aim to design alternative drug delivery technologies isto increase efficiency and safety of drug in the process of drug delivery and provide more convenience for the patients. The present paper includes more information regarding novel formulation of herbal formulation.
