The material mentioned above leads one to the conclusion that Bacopa monnieri is a highly promising medicinal plant that has long been employed in Ayurveda. The chemistry and several functional characteristics of the herb Bacopa monnieri that are helpful to health are thoroughly examined in the current study of the literature. The plant was shown to have a variety of pharmacological characteristics. This plant may contain a variety of physiologically active substances, which could account for its pharmacological effect. Many studies are still needed to confirm its efficacy in treating different illnesses and determine how the extracts affect the final effect on gene expression.
Nanosuspension is the colloidal dispersion of nanosized drug particles stabilized by surfactants for oral, topical, or parenteral routes of administration. Nanosuspensions have become a viable method for effectively delivering hydrophobic drugs with adaptable qualities and distinctive advantages. The composition of nanosuspension includes stabilizers, surfactants, co-surfactants, polymers, organic solvents and other additives like salts, polyols, buffering agents, etc. The challenge becomes even more intricate when dealing with drugs classified under BCS Class II. Facilitating greater interaction with biological media was significantly achieved through a nanosuspension formulation. Nanosuspensions that have attracted particular attention are those sterically stabilized by steric polymers with a typical size range of 10-100nm. The review aims to strengthen the therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability of various properties of nanosuspensions made using commercially accessible techniques including melt emulsification, high-pressure homogenization, media milling, emulsification and other techniques will be progressed.

Preservatives are important ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations. They are used to maintain the integrity and efficacy of pharmaceuticals by inhibiting the growth of organisms and also by extending the shelf life of preparations. The preservatives are categorized based on their function and chemical composition, which helps in making logical decisions when developing medications and ensure that the appropriate preservatives are used for microorganisms and product compositions. The development of natural and eco-friendly preservative alternatives has been stressed in recent trends. As the pharmaceutical industry grows, research and development efforts are directed toward developing novel preservatives and creative preservation techniques. Pharmaceutical companies must strike a balance between meeting preferences and ensuring the safety and stability of their products. Environmental considerations regarding the disposal of pharmaceutical preservatives are also paramount. Proper disposal and management strategies are necessary to minimize their environmental impact and prevent adverse effects on the ecosystem. The safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical goods continue to be the key factors in the use of preservatives, even as the industry navigates changing customer preferences and environmental concerns. This paper discusses about preservatives, types of preservatives, the latest consumer trends and technologies adopted by various pharmaceutical industries, and its environmental impacts.
