Abstract

The pharmaceutical product development process is a challenging process involving two significant steps, namely formulation development and product manufacturing. A formulation comprises of an API/drug (pharmacological active compound) and a group of inactive substances known as excipients. The process of selecting excipients and their proportion in an intended physical form of the drug for its administration (dosage form or pharmaceutical product) is known as the formulation. The selection of excipient(s) is a complex process that depends upon various factors associated with the drug, drug-excipient interaction, and the impact of the excipient on the product efficacy, i.e., its intended attributes like product stability, drug release, bioavailability, and many more. Thus, it involves extensive experimentation and hence is challenging in terms of carrying out these requisite trial runs. The application of artificial intelligence may help in reducing the time required to carry out trials and wastage of resources via providing limited and promising formulation designs based upon the evaluation and correlation of existing experimental data through various networking models. In this manuscript, we have represented the outcome of an AI-based pharmaceutical formulation design model which supports the active involvement of AI into fully automated computer-assisted pharmaceutical product development solution, leading to optimization of resource and overcoming the financial constraints via avoiding excessive wastages expected during product design trials.
