Model-based fed-batch cultivation of Viola odorata plant cells exhibiting antimalarial and anticancer activity by R. Babu, Manokaran Veeramani, Wallepure Aadinath, Vignesh Muthuvijayan, Shailja Singh, Smita Srivastava

“…As a new application, the biomass extracts also demonstrated up to 80% inhibition of malarial parasite growth in vitro. Additionally, when administered alongside artesunate (1.8 mg kg−1d−1), the plant extracts (400 mg kg−1d−1) effectively controlled parasite growth in vivo.DiscussionIt is to be noted that a first report on fed-batch cultivation of V. odorata cell suspension culture in lab-scale bioreactors and on the antiplasmodial activity of the V. odorata plant extracts. …”

Analysis of Pulse System Dynamics of Phase Synchronization in Multiple Capture Mode by A. L. Shilina

“…The mode may operate either as secondary (parasite) or as main (operational) one. Necessity of the latter is caused by the fact that pulse systems using phase control principle are rather often applied at high or super high frequencies when realization of a divider with variable division coefficient which is set in the feedback loop is rather complicated or practically impossible. …”
