PHYTOPREPARATIONS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGIES
Keywords:
(English) phytopreparations; standardization; modern technologies; chromatographic fingerprinting; nanoencapsulation; quality by design; digital traceability.Abstract
This article examines how modern technologies reshape the development, standardization, and clinical translation of phytopreparations used in contemporary healthcare. The aim is to synthesize technological solutions that improve reproducibility, efficacy, and safety of plant-derived medicines while preserving their multicomponent therapeutic nature. A structured review-design methodology was applied, combining comparative analysis of quality control approaches, technology readiness assessment, and a conceptual mapping of the phytopharmaceutical value chain from cultivation to finished dosage forms. The scientific novelty lies in an integrated framework that links phytochemical fingerprinting, process analytical technologies, and advanced delivery systems into a unified quality-by-design logic tailored to phytopreparations. The practical significance is demonstrated through technologized pathways for reducing batch-to-batch variability and controlling contaminants, with emphasis on scalable extraction, chromatographic standardization, and digital traceability. The findings support evidence-oriented modernization without reducing phytopreparations to single-marker products.
