Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly drawn to the research of innovative drug delivery systems through the use of supercritical CO (scCO)-based techniques. Measuring the solubility of drugs in scCO at varying conditions is a crucial parameter in this context. In this research, the supercritical solubility of two pharmaceutical ingredients, namely Febuxostat and Chlorpromazine, has been assessed theoretically using various thermodynamic approaches, including PR, SRK, UNIQUAC, and Wilson models. Additionally, hybrid machine learning models of PO-GPR, and PO-KNN were applied to anticipate the supercritical solubility of these medicines. Verification of the accuracy of each model for each pharmaceutical substance is conducted against previously reported experimental solubility data. In the comparison between the SRK and PR models, it is observed that the SRK model displays greater precision in correlating the solubility of both drugs. It consistently achieves a mean R value of 0.995 across all cases and mean AARD% values of 14.47 and 9.30 for Febuxostat and Chlorpromazine, respectively. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the UNIQUAC model surpasses the Wilson model in precisely representing the solubility of both medicines. It consistently achieves a mean R value higher than 0.985 across both cases and mean AARD% values of 11.39 and 7.08 for Febuxostat and Chlorpromazine, respectively. Additionally, the performance of both hybrid machine learning models proved to be excellent in anticipating the supercritical solubility of both compounds.
