Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid with diverse therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties. However, its poor solubility and bioavailability limit its clinical application. The document reviews advancements in drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanoparticles, and micelles, to enhance OA's solubility and efficacy. These systems have shown promise in improving OA's therapeutic potential in conditions like diabetes, cancer, and liver damage. Innovative delivery methods are crucial for maximizing OA's benefits, suggesting its potential for diverse medical and cosmetic applications.
