Optimization of tamoxifen solubility in carbon dioxide supercritical fluid and investigating other molecular targets...

Particle size, shape and morphology can be considered as the most significant functional parameters, their effects on increasing the performance of oral solid dosage formulation are indisputable. Supercritical Carbon dioxide fluid (SCCO₂) technology is an effective approach to control the above-mentioned parameters in oral solid dosage formulation. In this study, drug solubility measuring is investigated based on artificial intelligence model using carbon dioxide as a common supercritical solvent, at different pressure and temperature, 120-400 bar, 308-338 K. The results indicate that pressure has a strong effect on drug solubility. In this investigation, Decision Tree (DT), Adaptive Boosted Decision Trees (ADA-DT), and Nu-SVR regression models are used for the first time as a novel model on the available data, which have two inputs, including pressure, X1 = P(bar) and temperature, X2 = T(K). Also, output is Y = solubility. With an R-squared score, DT, ADA-DT, and Nu-SVR showed results of 0.836, 0.921, and 0.813. Also, in terms of MAE, they showed error rates of 4.30E-06, 1.95E-06, and 3.45E-06. Another metric is RMSE, in which DT, ADA-DT, and Nu-SVR showed error rates of 4.96E-06, 2.34E-06, and 5.26E-06, respectively. Due to the analysis outputs, ADA-DT selected as the best and novel model and the find optimal outputs can be shown via vector: (x1 = 309, x2 = 317.39, Y1 = 7.03e-05).
