INTRODUCTION<br />

In previous work, a prolonged release formulation was obtained by five different processes, and it<br />

was optimized by applying a statistical strategy [1–5]:<br />

direct compression: factorial and centred composite designs<br />

double compression: Hadamard matrix and factorial design<br />

compaction of the mixture of five raw materials: fractional 2 3−1 factorialdesign<br />

separate compaction of the drug and PVC: fractional 2 5−2 factorialdesign<br />

wet granulation: 3 2 design and stepwise regression<br />

A mathematical model was found for each studied response. From the models, the contoured<br />

curves and the response surfaces were plotted, and the optimal points were sought and confirmed.<br />

The aim of this study is to analyse and choose the best process for a formula which contains an<br />

anti-inflammatory agent (diclofenac sodium), two inert polymer matrices (PVC, ethylcellulose)<br />

and two lubricants (magnesium stearate, talc).<br />

MATERIALS<br />

The formula contained the following raw materials:<br />

Diclofenac sodium (Secifarma) 25.0%<br />

Ethylcellulose N-7 (Hercules) 26.1%
