January 2026 in “PubMed Central” The document explores the formation, construction, and performance of self-assembled nanoparticles (SANs) from natural products, highlighting their improved drug absorption and distribution capabilities. These nanoscale assemblies are created through non-covalent interactions using techniques like nanoprecipitation and emulsion-solvent evaporation, resulting in superior physicochemical properties and drug release performance. However, challenges such as stability and large-scale industrial application persist. Future research should aim to enhance production methods, stability, and investigate their use in targeted and responsive drug delivery systems.
