Eurycoma longifolia Jack is a plant of the genus Eurycoma in Simaroubaceae. Eurycomanone is one of the main quassinoids of E. longifolia. Unfortunately, these quassinoids exhibit low bioavailability . In the present study, a phospholipid complex (TAF2-PC) was prepared to improve the oral bioavailability of TAF2 (Tongkat Ali Fraction 2). The complexation rate of eurycomanone and phospholipid was used as the index of success in the phospholipid complexes. The effects of reaction solvent, reaction temperature, drug concentration, drug-lipid ratio and reaction time on thecomplexation rate were investigated. Response Surface-Box-Behnken Design Method was performed to optimize the preparation technology and the pharmacokinetics of phospholipid complex of TAF2 were studied in rats. Our results showed that the optimum preparation condition of TAF2-phospholipid complex were as follows: reaction solvent, anhydrous ethanol; reaction time, 1 h; the ratio of TAF2 to phospholipid, 2.28; reaction temperature, 40.85 ℃; TAF2 concentration, 32.66 mg/ml; and complexation rate, 95.04 ± 0.4% (n=3).The results of pharmacokinetic study showed that the relative bioavailability was increased to 209.20% in the TAF2-phospholipid complex-treated rats.Thus,this phospholipid-complex-technique shows potential for enhancing oral bioavailability of poorly absorbed quassinoid-rich E. longifolia extract, TAF2.

Phytosomes are a newly introduced novel drug delivery system and novel botanical formulation to induce lipophilic molecular complexes to enhance absorption and bioavailability of phytoconstituents. Terminali aarjuna phospholipid complex and it’s tablet formulations targeted for cardiovascular systems was prepared. Our study aims is for improving the cardioprotective activity by formulating Terminalia arjuna phospholipid complex tablet by using solvent evaporation method. and characterized by various parameters like solubility studies, particle size determination, infrared absorption (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), entrapment efficiency etc. as well as by applying QbD approach various general characteristics such as entrapment efficiency etc were also done. A QbD- based approach using a Box-Behnken design was done to obtain a response surface design expert software 9.0.5 to systematically study the combined influence of the formulation and process variables such as the phospholipids-drug ratio(X1, w/w), the reaction temperature(X2, °C), and the reaction time (X3, hrs) on a critical quality attributes (CQAs) of the product i.e., the entrapment efficiency. Using this design, the experimental trials were carried out at all 15 possible combinations. The preliminary investigation of the influence of factors revealed that all the tested variables, i.e., the phospholipids to drug ratio, the reaction temperature and the reaction time had a significant influence on the entrapment efficiency of the prepared phytosomes. The study revealed that the entrapment efficiency of Terminalia arjuna Phytosomes was found to be 83.0-97.9 %w/w.

Response surface methodology was used to optimize the soaking Mg leaching ratio from the boron slurry screened by 25 fractional factorial design. Five effective factors such as H2SO4 concentrations, reaction time, reaction temperature and stir velocity were tested by using 25 fractional factorial design criterion and three effective factors H2SO4 concentrations, reaction time and reaction temperature showed significant effect(P2SO4 concentrations of 0.29mol/l, reaction time of 90 min and reaction temperature of 50°C. Three runs of additional confirmation experiments were conducted. The mixture magnesium leaching value was 58.20%.

A series of single-metal carbonates and Pb-Zn mixed-metal carbonates were prepared as catalysts for alcoholysis of urea with 1,2-propylene glycol (PG) for the synthesis of propylene carbonate (PC). The mixed carbonates all show much better catalytic activities than the single carbonates, arising from a strong synergistic effect between the two crystalline phases, hydrozincite and lead carbonate. The mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:2 gives the highest yield of PC, followed by the mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:3. Furthermore, Taguchi method was used to optimize the synthetic process for improving the yield of PC. It is shown that the reaction temperature is the most significant factor affecting the yield of PC, followed by the reaction time, and that the optimal reaction conditions are the reaction time at 5 hours, the reaction temperature at 180 oC and the catalyst amount at 1.8 wt%, resulting in the highest PC yield of 96.3%.

Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) prepared by the coprecipitation method was solidified by the hydrothermal hot-pressing technique, and compacts of CDHA with high bulk density beyond 80% were obtained at 200 ℃. Each reaction parameter, viz. reaction temperature, pressure, and time, was systematically changed from the standard conditions to investigate its effects on density, Vickers hardness, and Ca/P ratio of the compacts obtained. The reaction temperature and pressure had a large effect on densification, but not the reaction time because the densification proceeds in a short time. The densification by hydrothermal hot-pressing involved dissolution and precipitation of the starting CDHA powder, so that the Ca/P ratio changed from 1.52 of the starting powders to 1.61 of the compact obtained by hydrothermal hot-pressing at 200 ℃ and 35 MPa for 24 h with the addition of 10 wt.-% water

The response surface methodology was employed to optimize the synthesis conditions of seleno-Sargassum fusiforme(Harv.) Setch. polysaccharide. Three independent variables (reaction time, reaction temperature, and ratio of Na2SeO3to SFPSI) were tested. Furthermore, the characterization and antioxidant activity of Se-SFPSIin vivowere investigated. The result showed that the actual experimental Se content of Se-SFPSI was 3.352 mg/g at the optimum reaction conditions of reaction time 8 h, reaction temperature 71°C, and ratio of Na2SeO3to SFPSIB 1.0 g/g. A series of experiments showed that the characterization of Se-SFPSIB was significantly different from that of SFPSIB. Additionally, antioxidant activity assay indicated that the Se-SFPSIB could increase catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of mice bearing tumor S180in blood, heart, and liver while decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. It can be concluded that selenylation is a feasible approach to obtain seleno-polysaccharide which was utilized as highly biological medicine or functional food.
