Description
Sayed Saleh, Riaz Khan, Lotfi Aroua, and Hamdoon Mohammed review how nanotechnology could turn plant flavonoids into real infection fighters. Their 2026 review covers these plant compounds, also found in propolis, with activity against oxidation, inflammation, viruses, and bacteria. With infections rising and drug options strained, the class is clinically attractive. One problem blocks it: the compounds dissolve poorly, absorb weakly, break down fast, and barely reach target tissues.
Nano-scale carriers attack each weakness in turn, improving solubility, absorption, stability, and controlled release at the site of action. The review surveys carrier designs aimed at antimicrobial and antiviral uses, weighing how delivery changes the compounds' activity. The authors frame targeted flavonoid therapy as a plausible answer to resistant infections, pending better trials.
