3.5 Various Approaches Employed inQbD Optimization
Modern QbD approaches for developing drug products include desired state of
manufacturing, end-product testing for validation, testing balances with the design,
quality is always accomplished, complements well with Federal QbR, reduced
expenditure of resources, and wider operating ranges (Bhoop 2014). QbD success is

due to main ve vital strengths, viz., (1) meticulous drug product, apt choice of
experimental designs, (2) recognition of CQAs, (3) critical formulation attributes
(CFAs), (4) critical process parameters (CPPs), and (5) precise denition of design
and control space and precise computer-aided optimization (Singh etal. 2005a,
2011). The QbD optimization approaches are more advantageous because they
require less number of experiments to attain an optimum formulation; locating the
main problem and rectication is easier and showed the interactions between drugs,
excipients, and processes lead to stimulating the product performance
(Ghaemmaghamian etal. 2022).
3.6 Various Approaches Employed inFbD Optimization
Formulation-based design (FbD) optimization involves the systematic optimization
of the formulation of a product to achieve specic desired properties while meeting
constraints such as cost, availability of ingredients, and regulatory requirements.
Here are some approaches that can be employed in FbD optimization of formulation
without plagiarism:
3.6.1 Design ofExperiments (DoE)
In this approach, the formulation space is divided into smaller subspaces, and a
subset of the subspaces is selected for experimentation. The results of the experi-
ments are then used to build a predictive model of the formulation properties, which
can be optimized using FbD techniques.

3.6.2 Constraint-Based Optimization

In this approach, the formulation is optimized subject to a set of constraints such as
the cost of the ingredients, the availability of the ingredients, and the desired proper-
ties of the nal product. The optimization can be performed using techniques such
as linear programming or mixed-integer programming.

3.6.3 Multi-objective Optimization

Multi-objective optimization involves optimizing multiple formulation properties
simultaneously, which can be conicting. This approach can be used to nd the
optimal trade-off between different properties, such as taste, texture, and shelf life.
Surrogate modeling: Surrogate modeling can be used in FbD optimization to
construct a surrogate model of the formulation properties that can be optimized
using standard optimization techniques.
S. Rathee et al.
69

3.6.4 Expert Systems

Expert systems can be used to incorporate domain knowledge into the optimization
process. This approach involves creating a knowledge base of formulation rules and
using an inference engine to select the optimal formulation based on the desired
properties.

3.6.5 Evolutionary Algorithms

Evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms can be used to optimize the
formulation by selecting the optimal combination of ingredients. This approach
works well when the formulation space is large and complex.
It is important to ensure that the FbD optimization process for formulation does
not involve plagiarism by using appropriate attribution methods and ensuring that
the nal optimized formulation is unique and not copied from existing
formulations.
3.7 Tools Used inFormulation-Based Design
(FbD) Optimization
Formulation-based design (FbD) optimization involves breaking down a complex
function or formulation into smaller sub-functions or sub-formulations, which can
be optimized independently. Here are some tools that can be used in FbD
optimization:
(A) Design of experiments (DoE) software: DoE software such as JMP, Minitab,
and Design-Expert can be used to plan and execute experiments in FbD optimi-
zation. These tools can help to identify signicant factors and interactions
between factors in the formulation or function.
(B) Optimization software: Optimization software such as MATLAB Optimization
Toolbox, Gurobi, and CPLEX can be used to solve the optimization problem in
FbD optimization. These tools can help to nd the optimal combination of sub-
functions or sub-formulations that satisfy the optimization objective and
constraints.
(C) Statistical modeling software: Statistical modeling software such as R, SAS,
and SPSS can be used to build predictive models of the sub-functions or sub-
formulations in FbD optimization. These tools can help to identify signicant
factors and interactions between factors and predict the response of the sub-
functions or sub-formulations to changes in the input variables.
(D) Surrogate modeling software: Surrogate modeling software such as Surrogate
Model Toolbox, DACE, and MOE can be used to construct surrogate models of
the sub-functions or sub-formulations in FbD optimization. These tools can
3 Optimization Techniques fortheDevelopment ofPharmaceutical Products
70
help to reduce the computational cost of the optimization by replacing the
expensive sub-functions or sub-formulations with a cheaper surrogate model.
(E) Expert systems software: Expert systems software such as Expert System
Shell, Drools, and CLIPS can be used to create and deploy expert systems in
FbD optimization. These tools can help to incorporate domain knowledge into
the optimization process and make intelligent decisions based on the desired
properties of the product.
(F) Machine learning software: Machine learning software such as TensorFlow,
PyTorch, and scikit-learn can be used to build predictive models of the sub-
functions or sub-formulations in formulation-based design (FbD) optimization.
These tools can help to identify signicant factors and interactions between
factors and predict the response of the sub-functions or sub-formulations to
change in the input variables.
It is important to choose the appropriate tools for formulation-based design
(FbD) optimization based on the problem at hand and the available resources. The
use of these tools can help to accelerate the optimization process and achieve opti-
mal results.
3.8 FbD Opti-tactics forDrug Delivery Systems
Liposomes are spherical structures composed of a double-layered lipid membrane
that closely resembles natural biological membranes. They are formed by using
phospholipids with mixed lipid chains (such as egg PE) or other surfactants via a
process known as sonication. Liposomes are being widely investigated for their
potential as drug delivery systems for a variety of diseases. To develop liposomes
suitable for use, it is crucial to optimize their invivo kinetics, ensure high-through-
put production conditions, and design specic liposome compositions. One promis-
ing approach for identifying appropriate liposome compositions is to use
high-throughput screening methodologies and apply the principles of quality by
design (QbD) to the vital elements (factors) of liposome production. In terms of
drug development, there are two main ways to achieve selectivity for the drug: dis-
covering new compounds with high selectivity and innovating novel drug adminis-
tration methods with high selectivity through integration and harmonization of
various techniques. Takahara et al. (1997) proposed the “3H” formula for innovative
drug administration, which involves combining hybrid, high-quality, and husbandry
approaches. In addition, an overview of the optimization studies conducted on vari-
ous topical mucosal adhesive dosage forms and the parenteral administration of
peptide drugs, including insulin and erythropoietin, is also discussed. In 1988,
Gregoriadis reported on the initial optimization studies for liposomes.

3.10 Applications ofQbD andFbD inDifferent Fields
Quality by design (QbD) and formulation by design (FbD) are systematic approaches
to product and process development that are widely applicable in various elds.
Here are some examples of their applications:

3.10.1 Pharmaceutical Industry

QbD and FbD have become an essential tool for product development in various
scientic elds. It is widely used for analytical method development utilizing differ-
ent techniques such as HPLC, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography, capil-
lary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and near-infrared spectroscopy. QbD and
FbD are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality and
consistency of drug products. By designing the product and process based on scien-
tic principles and risk assessment, companies can minimize the variability in drug
quality and increase process efciency. QbD and FbD also help to optimize drug
formulation, enhance drug delivery, and improve the safety prole of the drug. In
the domain of pharmaceutical formulation development, QbD is employed to opti-
mize the processes of various formulations, including sterile manufacturing, solid
dosage forms, modied-release products, gel manufacturing, tableting processes,
ANDAs, and API and excipient analysis (Hasnain etal. 2016; Wen and Park 2011;
Lionberger etal. 2008; Karmarkar etal. 2011; Orlandini etal. 2014; Musters etal.
2013; Basalious etal. 2011).
Moreover, biopharmaceutical applications of QbD include protein manufactur-
ing, purication of proteins using different chromatographic techniques, and pro-
duction and characterization of monoclonal antibodies. QbD can also be applied in
the elds of genetics and clinical applications (Rouiller etal. 2012; Finkler and
Krummen 2016).
Pharmaceutical unit operations and dosage forms can be optimized using the
QbD concept, which involves input material, process attributes, and quality

attributes such as during uid bed granulation, roller compaction, lm coating,
spray drying, hot-melt extrusion, and homogenization. These aspects are summa-
rized in Table 1.2 according to Zhang and Mao (2017).
The use of QbD in nanopharmaceuticals has grown rapidly since 2007, with
numerous papers published in peer-reviewed journals discussing its applications for
process optimization and nanoparticle product development. Javed et al. (2019)
reported that QbD has been used to develop various nanoparticles for drug delivery,
with most of the applications originating from Asia (particularly India, 48%) and
the United States (33%). Europe accounted for only 11% of the applications, while
Africa accounted for 9%. These QbD applications have focused on formulated-
related issues (62%), formulation and manufacturing (29%), and identifying critical
factors for the development process (9%). These ndings are based on studies con-
ducted by Bastogne (2017) and Beg etal. (2018). The applications of QbD in the
manufacturing of different dosage forms by using different pharmaceutical unit
operations are discussed in Table3.1.

3.10.2 Food Industry

QbD and FbD are also applied in the food industry to ensure the quality and safety
of food products. By designing the process based on scientic principles and risk
assessment, companies can minimize the variability in food quality and increase
process efciency. QbD and FbD also help to optimize food formulation; enhance
food avor, texture, and nutritional value; and improve food safety.

3.10.3 Chemical Industry

QbD and FbD are used in the chemical industry to optimize the production of chem-
icals and materials. By designing the process based on scientic principles and risk
assessment, companies can minimize the variability in product quality and increase
process efciency. QbD and FbD also help to optimize product formulation, enhance
product performance, and improve the environmental prole of the product.

3.10.4 Biotechnology Industry

QbD and FbD are applied in the biotechnology industry to optimize the production
of biologics and biosimilars. By designing the process based on scientic principles
and risk assessment, companies can minimize the variability in product quality and
increase process efciency. QbD and FbD also help to optimize product formula-
tion, enhance product performance, and improve the safety prole of the product. It
is important to note that implementing QbD in biotechnological product develop-
ment can help to minimize failures in the nal product. The use of different tools for
protein characterization is also vital in this approach. Obtaining information related
