The standard DPPH ("1-1, Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl") test was used to determine the level of scavenging potential (antioxidant activity) as per the previously published protocol . The in vitro toxicity of DT-loaded micelles was assessed using the standard "protein denaturation" assay in contrast to ibuprofen as described previously elsewhere . Further, utilizing a standard haemolysis procedure as previously described elsewhere , the hemocompatibility of micellized DT with erythrocytes was evaluated for different samples to assess the biocompatibility .
