INTRODUCTION
A biosensor is a measuring device that uses an immobilized agent to detect a chemical compound concentration or activity by converting a biological response into measurable signal as workable signal form. It is a self-contained analytical and measurable device that incorporates a biologically active  material in contact with tranducer  or detecting element to detect the concentration or activity of chemical compounds in a analyte  or sample. The obtain electrical signal it produces carries the necessary information about the process under investigation.¹

ABSTRACT
Pulmonary route of drug delivery gaining much importance in the present day research field as it enables to target the drug delivery directly to lung both for site specific and systemic treatment. The review is prepared with an aim to discuss about the technical, physiological, and efficacy aspects of the novel pulmonary route of drug targeting and different delivery devices such as metered dose inhalers (MDI), dry powder inhalers (DPI), nebulizers, etc. The review also focuses on the mechanisms of pulmonary drug administration along with compatibility of the excipients employed, devices used, techniques of particulate dosage production, evaluation and advancements in the pulmonary drug delivery. It can be concluded from whole study that different pulmonary delivery system possesses certain specificity for dosage formulations and serves as an important tool to deliver drugs to the target site.

1. Introduction
Currently natural products are gaining popularity to combat various physiological threats including oxidative stress, cardiovascular complexities, cancer insurgence, and immune dysfunction. The use of traditional remedies may be encountered more frequently due to an array of scientific evidence in their favor¹.  It has been well established that nutrition plays an important role in the etiology of hyperlipidimia, atherosclerosis and other coronary heart disease (CHD) complications like myocardial infarction¹.
The etiology and pathogencity of coronary heart diseases lie in the casual relationship between the development of atherosclerosis, elevated plasma lipid percentage cholesterol levels in blood and plasma, genetic makeup, endicrinological aberration, immunologic and autonomic factors, blood flow and coagulation².
