the cardiac functions against isoproterenol-induced AMI and arrhythmia along with the involvement of SERCA2 and RyR2 receptors. During the study, it also revealed its potential in cardiac remodeling attenuation. In the case of cardiac fibrosis, rosmarinic acid meticulously targeted Cf’s and through AMPK activation and Smad3 inhibition cardiac fibrosis was inhibited. The results point out a bigger role that rosmarinic acid can play in modifying CVDs.

ABSTRACT
Incorporation of natural bioactive into nanomedicines, their applications, and evaluation have aggressively been put forward during the last couple of decades. The enormous ability of nanocarriers in enhancing the bioavail­ability, targeting, and efficacy of natural molecules have been well docu­mented. Many findings also demonstrate the application of nanosystems in toxicity reduction and lessening of possible side effects of drugs effective targeting and thereby decrease the dose required. However, it should be noted that the conversion of molecules from natural to the nanoscale can display entirely new or significantly altered physicochemical as well as biological properties and may impose some newer risks to the patient. For instance, some drugs that are not crossing biological barriers may surpass them when transformed into nanoparticles, opening up new dimensions to therapeutic strategies specifically for brain delivery. In addition, they may also get into other cellular compartments and undesirably cause a cascade of adverse reactions including genotoxicity. This chapter outlines the suitability of various bioactive loaded nanocarriers in therapeutics, their toxicity, and regulatory considerations.

Natural products have continued to be the major driver of primary healthcare throughout human history with about 80% prevalence found in developing countries and up to 30% in developed countries. This equates to approximately
5.1 billion world population depends on natural products for medicinal appli­cations (Picking, 2017). Bioactive, obtained from natural products, including antioxidants, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and proteins have demonstrated great potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of several medical conditions including cancer, central nervous system-related disorders, arthritis, inflammation, infections, and several others. However, the stability, solubility, and hence the bioavailability severely limits the successful clinical translation of the herbal bioactive for therapeutic applica­tions. Although most of the natural compounds exhibit low toxicity, high­dose-induced side effects are a major reason limiting patient compliance (Watkins et al., 2015). Nanocarrier based delivery of bioactive has been a major advancement in the efforts to increase the therapeutic effectiveness of herbal bioactive.
Nanotechnology is the science and technology of manipulating matter of size <100 nm to produce devices with new molecular properties, organiza­tions, and functions, that cannot be achieved at large scales. Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving eld and can be considered as the start of a new tech­nological revolution with immense potential in healthcare, environment, smarter electronics, and advanced agriculture and energy (Hoet et al., 2009). Nanotechnology in the food sector is focused on the production of nanofood ingredients and additives developing delivery systems for the bioactive molecules and food packaging. The major applications of nanotechnology in the area of food and additives include-improving nutraceuticals stability, augmenting bioavailability of poorly soluble functional food ingredients,
enhancing shelf life, and modifying the avor and texture of food products
(Chaudhry et al., 2008).
Nanomedicine is a branch of nanotechnology that encompasses specic
medical intervention through which the human biological system can be monitored and controlled at the molecular level. Nanomaterials (NMs) such as metallic nanoparticles, ceramic, or carbon-based nanoparticles can be developed using simple molecules or they can be organized structures such as liposomes and nanoemulsion, or as dendrimers and polymers (Satalkar
et al., 2016). Numerous benets offered by nanomedicines include but
not limited to, enhanced solubility of poorly soluble bioactive and thereby
improved bioavailability, protection from degradation of bioactive, reduc-

tion in toxicity, decreased drug’s immunogenicity and selective targetability (Sastry et al., 2010; Viacava et al., 2017). The United States-Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have approved several nanomedicine-based products for therapeutic applications.
Functionalization of nanoparticles with specic ligands, antigen, aptamer,
peptide, etc., enhances the accumulation of nanoparticles in ischemic tissue, tumor, and organ inamed area. Stimuli sensitiveness to pH, tempera­ture, light, enzymes can mediate triggered drug release to the target site. Nanoparticles can also bypass biological barriers including cell membranes and blood-brain barrier bringing about increased drug concentrations to the diseased site (Smolkova et al., 2017).
NMs have different physicochemical and biological properties as compared to their larger counterparts. These characteristics confer double identity to the nanoparticles as their utilization implies novel medical and/ or industrial applications as well as the possible hazardous outcome for both human and environmental health. The physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles, including, particle size, shape, and surface chemistry
inuences the cellular uptake, biodistribution patterns, and clearance mechanisms (Hoet et al., 2009). Any modication to any of these features
induces new functions and potential toxicity. Challenges in the optimiza­tion procedure, characterization, and screening methods, instability under biological environments, robust, and reproducible manufacturing and scale­up, batch-to-batch consistency and regulatory barriers further impedes the successful clinical translation of a range of nanoparticles (Agrahari and Hiremath, 2017). Bioactive targeting is still a major challenge. Nanoparticles can enter the cells via endocytosis and can potentially cause the systemic toxicity if their bio-distribution is not controlled or if they form toxic metabolites. Non-biodegradable nanoparticle accumulation in the body over time could further lead to unwanted toxicity and cell death. For the product
to be commercially successful, the two primary and essential qualications are the high therapeutic efcacy and safety. Majority of the nanomedicines,
however, fail to accomplish these requirements which impede their successful commercialization. Furthermore, the safety concerns with the nanoparticles stem from their translocation potential to the tissues attributed to their small size and higher-than-physiologically-normal concentrations of the delivered bioactive in the tissues. Oxidative stress is the major mechanism underlying
NMs induced toxicity which further mediates inammatory cell responses,
immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Epigenetic alteration is another issue of
252
https://t.me/medicina_free
Biomarkers as Targeted Herbal Drug Discovery
NMs induced toxicity to be taken into consideration (Smolkova et al., 2017; Stoccoro et al., 2013).
The long-term toxicity of nanoparticles is crucial to determine, especially if these systems are to be used for the treatment of chronic human diseases. When setting up a long-term toxicity (or safety) test for a nanomaterial, the route of administration and the vehicle used should correspond to the expected usage in humans. Species selection is another important consid­eration and the immune responses to the biological molecules should be comparable to that in humans. The test design and test outcomes necessitate supervision with great caution (Hoet et al., 2009).
Facilitating human safety is the prime concern with any delivery system.
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the eld of medicine and drug delivery,
but the unpredictable nature and the underlying nanotoxicity has the poten­tial for harm. This necessitates the development of a regulation plan for nanotechnology that will serve the dual purpose of fostering innovation and keeping the public safe. Fiedler and Reynolds have correctly stated, “the law of unintended consequences operates with a vengeance where technology is concerned” (Fiedler and Reynolds, 1993).

Consuming plants for potential health benefits for the prevention and treat­ment of several disorders has been a common practice since ancient times. Developments in phytochemical and pharmacological sciences have success­fully enabled to interpret the composition as well as biological effectiveness of natural bioactive (Kamboj, 2000). The past few decades have witnessed the exponential increase in the use of phytochemical based dietary supplements and herbal remedies. The sudden surge in the use of dietary supplements has been particularly observed in cancer patients who consume these in conjunction with traditional cancer treatment, without informing their physicians. Epide­miological studies indicate that the phytochemicals are considered safe and might be a more natural alternative to conventional medication, however, only limited data are available for the safety and efficacy of most phytochemicals for disease interventions (Bode and Dong, 2015). Flavonoids are the constitu­ents of fruits, vegetables, plant-derived beverages and are also present in a huge number of herbal-containing dietary supplements. They have shown to be potent antioxidants, however, a dark side still remains. Dietary phenolics act as prooxidants in systems containing redox-active metals. Series of chemical

reactions are involved to mediate the prooxidant effects of the dietary phenolics. Transition metals such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) catalyze the redox cycling of phenolic compounds, in the presence of O
, resulting in the formation of
2
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phenoxyl radicals which cause damage to DNA, lipids, and other biological molecules. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea catechin, induce hydrogen peroxide (H
) generation in
2O2
the presence of transition metal ions, subsequently causing oxidative damage to isolated and cellular DNA. The in vitro studies have further demonstrated the DNA oxidation induction ability of EGCG in promyeloblast cell line, HL60 cells, for acute promyelocytic leukemia. EGCG induced DNA oxida­tion was more pronounced in glutathione (GSH) depleted cells while no such activity was observed in H catalase (CAT) activity than HL-60 cells. This implies that the H
-resistant HP100 cells that have 18 times higher

by EGCG is involved in DNA oxidation. This also relates to the prooxidant activity of EGCG on enhancing the dimethylhydrazine or nitrosamine colon carcinogenesis in rats. Another phenolic component of green tea, Pyrogallol produced significant hepatic damage in rats when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (I.P.). The increased level of serum enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) along with the increased level of malondialdehyde (MDA) suggests the formation of free radical and pro-oxidant effects as the key mediator of hepatic damage. Tea flavonoids, EGCG, propyl gallate and gallic acid (GAE) at a dose of 120 mg/kg, 170 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, respectively, caused a 4-fold increase in plasma ALT levels, on the administration to the CD-1 mice indicating signifi­cant hepatic damage in rodent models (Galati and O’brien, 2004; Furukawa et al., 2003; Hirose et al., 2001). The catechol B ring containing flavonoids, such as quercetin, upon oxidation by peroxidase, forms semiquinone-and quinone-type metabolites that may act as electrophiles which bind to cellular macromolecules producing ROS through redox cycling. Peroxidase-mediated oxidation of phenol B ring containing flavonoids such as, apigenin (API), naringenin, resulted in the formation of phenoxyl radicals which catalyzed GSH or NADH co-oxidation and generated ROS. Another toxicity concern with flavonoid is the cytochrome P (CYPs)-flavonoid interaction. The CYP enzymes inhibiting or inducing the ability of flavonoids depends upon their structures, concentrations, or the experimental conditions. CYP activity is inhib­ited with flavonoids possessing hydroxyl groups while those lacking hydroxyl groups may induce the enzyme. Flavonoid-drug interactions may occur with the simultaneous administration of flavonoids and therapeutic agents. This can modulate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of the active molecule with either
