Formulation tools for pharmaceutical development

Innovative tools for preformulation and formulation of medicines and optimization of the pharmaceutical development processes are of key importance to the pharma industry. They also assist in the performance evaluation of the pharmaceutical processes already implemented and commercialized by helping identify gaps and optimizing process. This book discusses expert systems, artificial intelligence tools, neuro-fuzzy tools, multimedia tools, artificial neural networks and neurofuzzylogic and genetic programming.
These tools can be used to better apply the “Quality by Design” and “New Strategy for Process Validation Guidelines” to medicine development. This is an extremely topical subject, as the regulatory environment is changing and the use of preformulation tools in the pharmaceutical industry will help in the development of medicines according to Quality by Design and GMP with 21st century principles.
