Abstract

In pharmaceutical industry, dissolution testing is part of the target product quality that are essentials in the approval of new products. The prediction of the dissolution profile based on spectroscopic data is an alternative to the current destructive and time-consuming method. Raman and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopies are two complementary methods, that provide information on the physical and chemical properties of the tablets and can help in predicting their dissolution profiles. This work aims to use the information collected by these methods by creating an artificial neural network model that can predict the dissolution profiles of the scanned tablets. The ANN models created used the spectroscopies data along with the measured compression curves as an input to predict the dissolution profiles. It was found that ANN models were able to predict the dissolution profile within the acceptance limit of the f1 and f2 factors.
