Antimicrobial Studies

Antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant competence of Cardiospermum halicacabum based nanoemulsion and characterized their physicochemical properties.

This research evaluated two types of nanoemulsions, CHE-NE-A and CHE-NE-B, for their potential as drug carriers. CHE-NE-A showed better drug release, antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, and antifungal activity compared to CHE-NE-B. It may be considered as a useful drug carrier.
