Curr Drug Deliv. 2024 Feb 16. doi: 10.2174/0115672018265986240209064358. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExploiting different formulation approaches, each designed to improve the clinical use of resveratrol (RES) in treating several lung diseases. Accentuating the rationale for using RESbased delivery systems in different clinical applications in pulmonary diseases. Resveratrol (RES), a well-known natural polyphenol stilbenoid, possesses tremendous potential to treat various lung diseases owing to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, antiviral, and anticancer activities. Its physicochemical properties have restricted the beneficial activities of resveratrol, as it is characterized by low aqueous solubility, bioavailability and stability in addition to high photosensitivity. With the growing understanding of the effectiveness of RES in treating lung diseases, the need for attempts and advances in RES formulations should be evolved to enhance its involvement in pharmaceutical applications. This review discusses the role of RES in treating several pulmonary illnesses. For the first time, different approaches and strategies to evade its limitations and allow its clinical applications via various routes for managing a variety of respiratory ailments are presented rigorously.PMID:38549518 | DOI:10.2174/0115672018265986240209064358
