Design of a Nasal Spray Based on <i>Cardiospermum halicacabum</i> Extract Loaded in Phospholipid Vesicles Enriched with Gelatin or Chondroitin Sulfate
The extract of <i>Cardiospermum halicacabum</i> L. (<i>C. halicacabum</i>) obtained from flower, leaf and vine was loaded into modified phospholipid vesicles aiming at obtaining sprayable, biocompatible and effective nasal spray formulations for the treatment of nasopharyngea...
