A sensitive, simple and rapid RP-HPLC method with fluorescence detection has been developed to simultaneously quantify amlodipine besylate (AML) olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) in their combined pharmaceutical preparation. The development was divided into three phases. In the first phase, a Plackett-Burman design (PBD) used screen five independent factors. objective of second phase optimize performa...

The culture conditions for the yield of a polysaccharide (PCPS) produced by Paecilomyces cicadae (Miquel) Samson on solid-state fermentation were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was applied to screen out significant factors, followed by the paths of steepest ascent to move to the nearest region of maximum response. Then Box-Behnken design (BBD...

Various modeling techniques were used to understand fluidized bed granulation using a two-step approach. First, Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was used to identify the high-risk factors. Then, Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to analyze and optimize those high-risk factors. The relationship between the high-risk input variables (inlet air temperature X1, binder solution rate X3, and binder-to-po...

Medium composition and culture conditions for the acid protease production by Aspergillus niger I1 were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). A significant influence of temperature, KH(2)PO(4), and initial pH on the protease production was evaluated by Plackett-Burman design (PBD). These factors were further optimized using Box-Behnken design and RSM. Under the proposed optimized con...

this paper describes optimization method that combines the plackett-burman design, a factorial design and the response surface method, which were used to optimize the medium for the production of l-asparaginase by serratia marcescens sb08. four medium factors, from out of 11 medium factors, were screened by plackett-burman design experiments and subsequent optimization process to find out the o...

The objective of this study was to develop an optimal combination of mineral salts in the fermentation medium for nosiheptide (Nsh) production using statistical methodologies. A Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was used to evaluate the impacts of eight mineral salts on Nsh production. The results showed that among the no-significant factors, CaCO3, and K2HPO4·3H2O had positive effects, whereas FeSO...

OBJECTIVE To establish a reliable platform for screening glucokinase activators (GKAs) in vitro. METHODS Pancreatic glucokinase (PGK) protein expressed in a prokaryotic expression system as a histidine-tagged fusion protein from Homo sapiens was produced. Then, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the microplate-based GKA screening platform. In the first step of optimizatio...

For every v ≡ 5 (mod 6) there exists a pairwise balanced design (PBD) of order v with exactly one block of size 5 and the rest of size 3. We will refer to such a PBD as a PBD(5∗, 3). A flower in a PBD(5∗, 3) is the set of all blocks containing a given point. If (S,B) is a PBD(5∗, 3) and F is a flower, we will write F ∗ to indicate that F contains the block of size 5. The flower intersection pro...

Antioxidants are molecules that scavenge or neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are generated in human body during normal physiological processes and have implications on various human diseases. Endophytic fungi from medicinal plants are gaining tremendous impetus as potential source of antioxidant compounds. In this studyPlackett-Burman design was used to evaluate the media components affe...
