Then, pure extract and optimized formulation showing higher entrapment efficiency were studied for in vitro dissolution and in vivo antidepressant activity in depression models like forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) in Swiss albino mice. The physicochemical characterization was carried out using particle size analysis and zeta potential, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, powder X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, and solubility studies.
