Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the Biological profile and therapeutic potentials of Cardiospermum halicacabum. Cardiospermum halicacabum is an annual or perennial herb, is commonly seen in Sri Lanka and the whole plant has been used to treat rheumatism, stiffness of limbs, and snakebites. Cardiospermum halicacabum has been used to treat Gastrointestinal problems, respiratory disorder and urinogenital infection. The leaves of Cardiospermum halicacabum contain beta-sitosterol, oxalic acid and amino acids. It has also been reported to have saponin and quebrachitol. The seed oil of the plant has erucic acid, oleic acid, eicosonic acid, octanoic acid and n-hexadecanoic acid and high concentration of triterpenoids as well.
