    The simplex method optimized capsule formulations by adjusting drug, disintegrant, and lubricant levels. This approach enhanced dissolution and compaction rates for improved drug delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Sciences
    • Formulation Development
    • Optimization Techniques

    Background:

    • Capsule formulations require careful optimization of multiple ingredients.
    • Dissolution and compaction rates are critical parameters for capsule efficacy and manufacturability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To optimize capsule formulation parameters using the simplex method.
    • To identify ideal levels of drug, disintegrant, lubricant, and fill weight.
    • To enhance dissolution and compaction rates of the capsule formulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of the simplex method for optimization.
    • Investigation of formulation parameters: drug, disintegrant, lubricant, and fill weight.
    • Fitting data to a polynomial regression model.
