Abstract

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition that is also inflammatory and proliferative. Psoriasis is caused by the activation of T-cells and is distinguished by prominent, drab-red, or peach-pink tight patches with silvery scales on the skin. In recent years, there have been some significant advances in the study of the etiology of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. The nanotechnology-based novel formulation provides a great occasion for enhancing the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapeutic agents for psoriasis. The benefits of nanotechnological techniques to offer an effective drug concentration in the disease site and nanocarrier as innovative possibilities for drug delivery systems in psoriasis and other inflammatory chronic skin disorder are highlighted in this area. We have explored the mechanisms underlying the pathogenic aspects of psoriasis in this review, as well as phytoconstituents that are naturally occurring substances found in plants with anti-psoriatic properties. Anti-psoriatic action is attributed to phytochemicals that target cytokine signaling pathways. We also discussed the benefits of loading phytoconstituents as drugs in nanocarriers such as liposomes, niosomes, invasomes, phytosomes, transferosomes, and proniosomes for improved topical therapy and delivery of phytoconstituents with a better therapeutic profile and lower toxicity.
