Medicinal plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles is a kind of vesicles with a diameter of 30-300 nm extracted from medicinal plants, which can regulate the microenvironment of various systems, diseases and cells through multiple drug delivery routes, so as to achieve the purpose of alleviating and treating diseases. In this paper, the extraction and identification methods of nanovesicles derived from medicinal plants were summarized. Then, according to the systematic classification of diseases, the effects and mechanisms of the treatment of diseases and the regulation of the microenvironment by the nanovesicles derived from medicinal plants were summarized and analyzed. This paper finds Medicinal plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles, as plant-derived nanoscale vesicles, can act more efficiently on various microenvironments of the body such as inflammation, tumors, immunity and the intestine through various administration methods such as oral administration and intravenous injection according to the characteristics of the disease, achieving the effect of treating diseases and alleviating symptoms. Medicinal plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles have initiated a new model of transboundary communication regulation involving plants in the human microenvironment, using their own advantages to regulate the human microenvironment. Meanwhile, it can also be used as a drug carrier to achieve a dual communication regulation effect. It provides ideas for the follow-up research and clinical use of nanovesicles derived from medicinal plants.
药用植物来源的外泌体样纳米囊泡是一种从药用植物中提取的直径为30-300nm的囊泡,其可通过多种给药途径调节各种系统、疾病和细胞的微环境,从而达到缓解和治疗疾病的目的。本文总结了药用植物来源纳米囊泡的提取和鉴定方法。然后,根据疾病的系统分类,总结并分析了药用植物来源纳米囊泡治疗疾病的作用及机制以及对微环境的调节作用。本文发现,药用植物来源的外泌体样纳米囊泡作为植物来源的纳米级囊泡,可根据疾病特点通过口服、静脉注射等多种给药方式更有效地作用于机体的炎症、肿瘤、免疫、肠道等各种微环境,达到治疗疾病、缓解症状的效果。药用植物来源的外泌体样纳米囊泡开创了植物参与人体微环境跨界通讯调控的新模式,利用自身优势调控人体微环境。同时,其还可作为药物载体,实现双重通讯调控效应。为药用植物来源纳米囊泡的后续研究及临床应用提供思路。
