This paper describes fundamentals and applications of multivariate statistical techniques for the optimization of chromatographic systems. The surface response methodologies: central composite design, Doehlert matrix and Box-Behnken design are discussed and applications of these techniques for optimization of sample preparation steps (extractions) and determination of experimental conditions fo...

Purpose: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common painful ulcerative disease of oral mucosa happening in ~20% of people. Aimed to develop Myrtus communis L. (Myrtle) containing oral patches, we applied box-behnken design to evaluate the effect of polymers such as Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), Gelatin, Methylcellulose (MC) and Pectin. Methods: The patches properties such as tensile ...

A Box–Behnken experimental design was used to investigate the effects of five factors—ie oxygen content in the gas phase; concentrations of C, N and P; and fermentation time—on the concentrations of biomass and lovastatin produced in batch cultures of Aspergillus terreus. The values of the various factors in the experiment ranged widely, as follows: 20–80% (v/v) oxygen in the aeration gas; 8–48...

Aim: The aim of the present study was to design and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles Asenapine maleate (<2% bioavailability) enhance its oral bioavailability surface modification for brain targeting.
 Methods: A modified solvent injection method used produce loaded nanoparticles. RSM 3-factor, 3-level Box-Behnken applied effect three independent variables, concentrations (A), drug (B)...
