説明
One of the difficulties in the quantitative approach to designing pharmaceutical formulations is the difficulty in understanding the relationship between causal factors and individual pharmaceutical responses. Another difficulty is desirable formulation for one property is not always desirable for the other characteristics. This is called a multi-objective simultaneous optimization problem. A response surface method (RSM) has proven to be a useful approach for selecting pharmaceutical formulations. However, prediction of pharmaceutical responses based on the second-order polynomial equation commonly used in RSM, is often limited to low levels, resulting in poor estimations of optimal formulations. The aim of this review is to describe the basic concept of the multi-objective simultaneous optimization technique in which an artificial neural network (ANN) is incorporated. ANNs are being increasingly used in pharmaceutical research to predict the non-linear relationship between causal factors and response variables. The usefulness and reliability of this ANN approach is demonstrated by the optimization for ketoprofen hydrogel ointment as a typical numerical example, in comparison with the results obtained with a classical RSM approach.
