In this work, a state-of-the-art fast Raman imaging apparatus is used to determine the concentration and particle size of HPMC in sustained release tablets and predict their dissolution profile. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are employed for the first time to process chemical images and directly predict the dissolution profile. The CNN shows the ability to recognize patterns in the data and provides detailed information for better understanding of the manufacturing processes.
In this work, the capabilities of a state-of-the-art fast Raman imaging apparatus are exploited to gain information about the concentration and particle size of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in sustained release tablets. The extracted information is utilized to predict the in vitro dissolution profile of the tablets. For the first time, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used for the processing of the chemical images of HPMC distribution and to directly predict the dissolution profile based on the image. This new method is compared to wavelet analysis, which gives a quantification of the texture of HPMC distribution, carrying information regarding both concentration and particle size. A total of 112 training and 32 validation tablets were used, when a CNN was used to characterize the particle size of HPMC, the dissolution profile of the validation tablets was predicted with an average f2 similarity value of 62.95. Direct prediction based on the image had an f2 value of 54.2, this demonstrates that the CNN is capable of recognizing the patterns in the data on its own. The presented methods can facilitate a better understanding of the manufacturing processes, as detailed information becomes available with fast measurements.
