Table 1.
Selected independent and dependent variables used to optimize AGN-PLHNPs by the 33-BBD.
Independent Variables | Low (−1) | Medium (0) | High (+1) |
---|---|---|---|
F1 = Concentration of PLGA (mg/mL) | 7 | 9 | 11 |
F2 = Concentration of PL-90G (mg/mL) | 5 | 7 | 9 |
F3 = Concentration of P-188 (%) | 0.75 | 1.00 | 1.25 |
Dependent variables | Goal | ||
R1 = Particle size (PS; nm) | Minimize | ||
R2 = Entrapment efficiency (EE; %) | Maximize | ||
R3 = Cumulative drug release (CDR; %) | Maximize |
