Application of Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation in Formulation Screening / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation in formulation screening. METH-ODSTaking Compound paracetamol and chlorphenamine maleate granules as model drug,based on single factor experiment,L9(34) orthogonal test was used to screen the formulation with the amount of aspartame,hawthorn powder essence,milk powder essence and saccharose as factors,using dissolution rate of caffeine as index. The granules prepared by 9 kinds of formulation in orthogonal test were evaluated with fuzzy comprehensive evaluation in terms of taste,aroma,color and dissolubility. The optimized formula-tion was validated and compared with original formulation. RESULTS:The formulation 5 was the optimal choice in both orthogo-nal test and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation,and obtained same results. Compared with sensory comprehensive score (63.12) and dissolution rate of caffeine (91.3%) in original formulation,two indicators of optimized formulation in 3 tests were 84.00 and 99.07% in average (RSD<2.0%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation can be used for the formulation screening of sensory evaluation index. It is scientific and accurate.
