Ethanol extract of Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn. (Sapindaceae), in a concentration dependant manner (200-600mg/kg) inhibited gastric ulcers induced by oral administration of absolute ethanol. Further, the extract administration to rats resulted in an increase in levels of gastric glutathione and a decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity. The extract also exhibited potent in vitro hydroxyl radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation activities. The extract was found to be devoid of any conspicuous acute and short-term toxicity in rats.

This research was designed to evaluate the pharmaceutical potentials of various proportions of nanoemulsions, Nanoemulsion A and Nanoemulsion B (CHE-NE-A & CHE-NE-B) prepared from the hydroalcoholic extract of through in vitro approach, and their physicochemical properties were characterized using standard scientific analytical techniques. The physicochemical and morphological properties of CHE-NE-A and CHE-NE-B were characterized by FTIR, SEM, TEM, zeta potential, and scattering light intensity analyses. The results revealed that the size, shape, and exterior conditions of nano-droplets of the CHE-NE-A nanoemulsion were suitable as a drug carrier.
