Abstract: Psoriasis is an autoimmune systemic chronic inflammatory disease that exhibits characteristic
detrimental effects on the skin, often leading to infections or comorbid conditions. The
multifaceted nature of psoriasis has made it very challenging to treat, especially with current
chemotherapy options. Therefore, it is essential to consider phytoconstituents as novel alternatives.
However, despite demonstrating higher anti-inflammatory, anti-psoriasis, and immunomodulatory
potential, their clinical usage is hindered due to their poor physicochemical properties.
To address these drawbacks, nanoparticulate drug delivery systems have been developed,
helping to achieve better permeation of phytoconstituents through topical administration. This
has breathed new life into traditional systems of medicine, particularly in the context of treating
psoriasis. In this current review, we present a detailed, comprehensive, and up-to-date analysis
of the literature, which will contribute to affirming the clinical role of phyto-nano interventions
against psoriasis.
