A computer optimizaiton technique based on surface response methodology was applied to optimize the wet granulation process for designing tablets. Physical properties (mean granule size, granule size distribution, compressibility, granule strength) of a model granule formulation containing ethenzamide were accurately described by a second polynomial equation based on two independent variables (amounts of binder and binder solution). This regression equation also gave a good correlaiton for three physical properties of tablets (disintegration time, compactibility, compression force variance), but the correlation for tablet hardness and weight variation was poor. These results imply that not only the above physical properties of granules but also the rheological behavior and porous structure of granules are closely related to tablet properties. Using an optimization of five tablet properties using the generalized distance funciton, the predicted values of the physical properties of both granules and tablets agreed well with experimental values. This agreement indicates that the computer optimization technique is useful for optimizing the granulation process for designing tablets.
